Quick Start Guide
IMPORTANT NOTICE
For more detailed instructions, download the Sievers 860
Laboratory TOC Analyzer Operation and Maintenance
Manual from our website.
Installation Instructions
Step 1 Unpack and inspect the Analyzer.
Step 2 Complete the identication records.
Step 3 Select a location for the Analyzer. Refer to the System
Specications chart.
Place the Analyzer on a clean, unobstructed surface that can
accommodate the Analyzer’s dimensions and weight; for details refer to
the "System Specications." For proper heat dissipation, ensure that
16 cm (6.3 in) is available at the rear and on both sides of the Analyzer.
The Analyzer is designed to be operated right-side up, resting on the
rubber feet.
Avoid direct sunlight and extreme temperatures; operating at elevated
temperatures (greater than 40 ºC) prevents proper operation, and
operating at low temperatures (10 ºC) can cause errors in the
measurements.
Step 4 Connect the compressed gas.
Attach the Analyzer to a source of dry, oil-free gas that contains less than
1 ppb CO2, and which is pressurized from 30 to 50 psig (207 to 345 kPa).
The preferred gas is puried air. Nitrogen is also a suitable gas if the IC is
less than 1 ppm.
Refer to the "Warnings" section for important information about the
use of compressed gas.
1. Locate the 1/8" OD tubing with 1/8" SwageLok tting for gas inlet
line, 3 meters long, in the accessories kit.
Warnings
The vial sparging assembly contains a sharp needle designed to
pierce the septa of sample vials. Do not put ngers or inappropriate
objects into the vial sparging assembly.
To avoid false TOC readings and possible damage to the Analyzer,
always make sure the DI water cartridge is lled before starting analysis.
The Sievers 860 Laboratory TOC Analyzer is not designed to sample
in on-line mode from a pressurized water source.
The waste stream from the Analyzer is acidic and must be disposed of
according to local regulations.
Secure all gas cylinders to an immovable structure or permanent wall.
Wear eye protection when using compressed gases to avoid possible
eye injury.
If the Analyzer is used with compressed gases, the pressure of the
gas at the gas inlet must not exceed 200 psig (1379 kPa). Use only
CO2-free air or nitrogen. Use only regulators designed for use with the
selected gas. Store compressed gases in accordance with all safety
codes.
Before connecting the Sievers Autosampler RT12 to the Analyzer,
or disconnecting the Austosampler from the Analyzer, always stop TOC
measurements/protocols, and turn Off power to the Analyzer.
Do NOT manually rotate the sample rack while the Sievers
Autosampler RT12 is connected to the Analyzer, even when the Analyzer
is NOT powered.
Do not use the Sievers Autosampler RT12 to sample ammable
liquids. The Sievers Autosampler RT12 should not be in contact with
ammable liquids, nor be used near ammable liquids.
The Sievers Autosampler RT12 sample needle is sharp. Avoid
contacting the needle assembly during analysis, and use caution when
handling the needle assembly when the needle is at rest.
Avoid the possibility of the Autosampler needle hitting the
sample rack and damaging the needle during the alignment
process. Make sure to align the Autosampler needle by small
increments (we suggest by one), and test the new alignment position.
Any operation requiring access to the inside of the Analyzer, including
installation of maintenance items, could result in injury. To avoid potentially
dangerous shock, turn off power and, if possible, disconnect from the
power supply before opening the Analyzer.
The UV lamp contains mercury and may be considered hazardous
material in your local area. Dispose of these items in accordance with
federal, state, or local government regulations.
Should the UV lamp become broken or damaged it should be handled
in accordance with your organization’s toxic waste handling procedure
and disposed of in accordance with federal, state, or local government
regulations.

tight, and then tighten an
additional 1/4 turn using a
7/16" open-ended wrench.
3. Connect the other end
of the tubing to the gas
source.
Step 5 Connect the outlet
ports.
The LIQUID WASTE outlet and
GAS LIQUID WASTE outlet are located on the back of the Analyzer
(Figure 2). Both may be routed to the same waste container, however, the
GAS LIQUID WASTE line MUST be kept free from submerging in any liquid
to prevent liquid from being drawn back into the Analyzer. Routing the lines
through a waste container and lid with a hole allows you to anchor the GAS
LIQUID WASTE line higher in the bottle—completely clear from any liquid
waste.
1. Locate the two exible tubing sections, each 100 cm long, in the
accessories kit.
2. Take one tubing section and connect one end to the LIQUID WASTE
port. Push the tubing onto the barbed tting.
3. Route the other end of the tubing to the waste container, placed
within 90 cm of the Analyzer. The end of the tubing should extend to
the bottom of the container.
4. Take the other tubing section and connect one end to the GAS
LIQUID WASTE port. Push the tubing onto the barbed tting.
5. Route the other end of the tubing to the waste container. The end
of the tubing should extend to approximately the top third of the
container. Note: To avoid drawing liquid back into the Analyzer, make
sure the vent line is never submerged in the liquid waste inside the
container.
Step 6 Fill the DI water cartridge.
1. Fill the squeeze bottle (provided in the accessories kit) with DI water.
2. Remove the left side panel of the Analyzer and locate the DI water
cartridge. (Figure 3).

Analyzer, leaving approximately 1" of
space to ensure proper functioning of both
instruments. Line up the front edge of the
Autosampler with the front edge of the
Analyzer. Leave 3” or more space to left of
the Autosampler.
Step 10 C Install the sample rack.
Insert a 40-mL vial (from the Accessories
Kit) into slot #1 on the Autosampler rack,
and then place the rack on the base of the
Autosampler. Line up the slot on the base
of the rack with the center post on the base
of the Autosampler. Use the four guide pins
on the deck of the Autosampler as guides to
position the rack directly over the post. Make
sure the post is inserted completely and the
base of the rack is ush with the Sievers
Autosampler RT12 (Figure 6),
Step 10 D
Install the sample tubing.
1. Locate the end of the sample
tubing with the PEEK tting
(with yellow ferrule). Attach
it to the Sample port on the
Autosampler, and then tighten
nger-tight (Figure 7).
2. Route the sample tubing
from the Autosampler to the
Analyzer. Secure the tubing
against the Analyzer to ensure
that the tubing does not come
in contact with the sample
rack (or loaded vials, if any).
It is also important that the
tubing does not becomes too
taut, as leaks or ow restrictions can
result (Figure 8).
First, attach the two (2) self-adhesive
tubing clamps against the side of the
Analyzer case near the top, one towards
the front of the Analyzer (b) and one
towards the back (a). Next, secure the
tubing inside these clamps.
3. Take the other end of the sample tubing
with the Valco tting and ferrule, and then
push the tubing into the Sample port on the
side of the Analyzer (Figure 9). Tighten the
tting nger-tight.
4. Use a 1/4" open-end wrench to then turn
the nut 1/8 turn past nger-tight. Do NOT
over-tighten the tting.
Step 10 E Place the vial port lift in the
lower position.
Verify that the blue Vial Port Lift is in the lower
(down) position (Figure 10), to enable the
Sievers Autosampler RT12 to sample from the
Inlet port, which connects to the Autosampler.
Step 10 F Connect the Autosampler

Analyzer.
Step 10 G Verify the Needle Alignment
Before you begin, ensure that an empty vial
is placed in slot #1 of the Autosampler rack.
1. On the Maintenance tab, click the
Autosampler button. The Autosampler
features appear to the right on the
Location tab.
2. Perform a visual inspection
to verify whether the vial is
lined up with the guide mark on the
Autosampler needle housing (Figure
12). The needle should pierce the
vial near the center of the septa. The
guide mark on the Autosampler needle
housing acts as visual guide to aid the
Theta (rotating) axis alignment process
(Figure 13).
3. If adjustments are needed, click
the Home button to ensure the
Autosampler is in the Home position
(aligned with Vial 1). Otherwise, go to
step 6.
In the Alignment area, use the Offset
up and down arrows to adjust the
alignment by small increments (we suggest one), and then click
the Set button. The sample rack automatically rotates to the new
position.
4. The center of the vial should line up with the guide mark on the
Autosampler needle housing. The offset default value is 6and the
needle alignment range is between 1and 20. (An offset setting of either
0or 1will always result in an offset of 1.)
5. Perform another visual inspection to verify whether the vial is now
lined up with the guide mark on the Autosampler needle housing.
6. Manually test the needle alignment.
Under the Manual Test area, click the
Needle Down button and observe.
The needle should pierce the center
of the vial cap.
7. Click the Needle Up button to move
the needle out of the vial.
8. Repeat steps 5 through 7, as needed,
until the correct alignment is reached.
Step 10 H
Adjust the Needle-Down
Depth
Check the Needle Down Depth. Verify that
the needle does not hit the vial bottom, and
the needle mount does not hit the needle
guide at the lowest travel of the Z-axis.
1. Remove the sample rack from the
Autosampler. Turn the Analyzer back
On.
2. Remove the needle housing by removing the four screws (identied
with arrows) on the back of the Autosampler (Figure 14). Pull the
cover away.
3. Load the sample vial into position #1 of the sample rack, and place
the sample rack onto the Autosampler.
4. On the Autosampler tab, in the Manual Test area, click the Home
button. After the rack has homed to vial position 1, click the Needle
Down button. The needle should reach close to the bottom (about
1 to 2 mm), but not touch the bottom of the vial. Likewise, observe
that the needle mount does not make contact with the needle
guide. Reduce the Needle Down Depth if either of these conditions
are not met.
5. If adjustment is needed, in the Needle Down Depth area, use the
Depth up and down arrows to adjust the needle depth.
6. Click the Set button to store the new setting.
7. Check your results by disconnecting DataPlus from the Analyzer.
To do this, press the Disconnect button.
8. Cycle power on the Analyzer. Once the Analyzer has powered up
and the Autosampler has completed its power up homing cycle,
reconnect DataPlus by clicking the Reconnect button.
9. Repeat steps 4 through 8 until the needle does not touch the
bottom of the vial or the needle mount does not hit the needle
guide.
10. Replace the needle housing on the Autosampler.
11. Load 12 vials into the sample rack. Run two cycles of Automatic
Test as a nal check. Use the up and down arrows to set Cycle
to 2. Click Run and observe the rack movement and needle-
to-vial positioning during the automated test. At the end of the
test, a message will appear on the DataPlus screen that the test
completed successfully.
If a motion error occurs, a message will appear on the DataPlus
screen identifying the problem. Based on software reported errors and
technician observations, identify the cause and take actions to correct
them.
Step 11 Rinse the Analyzer
Before placing the Analyzer into normal operation, rinse the analyzer for
2 hours to remove any gas bubbles that may have formed in the sample
lines, and to allow time for the mixed bed resin to thoroughly clean up
the newly lled DI water loop.
1. Before you begin, make sure that the Vial Port valve is closed by
lowering the vial lift to the down position.
2. Connect the Analyzer to a ask of low-TOC DI water via the sipper
tube. First, insert the Valco tting of the sipper tube into the Sample
port on the Analyzer.
3. Tighten the Valco nut until it is nger-tight, and then tighten it an
additional 1/4 turn with the 1/4” wrench.
4. Place the other end of the sipper tube into a ask of at least 1,000
mL of DI water.
5. In DataPlus, select the Maintenance tab, and then click the
Advanced button.
6. In the Rinse section, click the Rinse button. The Analyzer will begin
rinsing the Analyzer.
7. When the rinse is complete, turn Off power to the Analyzer.
8. Remove the Analyzer's left side panel and visually inspect
for leaks, especially around the DI water cartridge. If a leak is
detected, make sure all the ttings are tight and secure. Check the
water level in the DI cartridge and ll to the FULL line, as needed.
9. Replace the Analyzer's side panel.
10. Disconnect the sipper tube system.
