Startup
Personal injury hazard. Glass components can break. Handle with care to prevent cuts.
Before measurements are started, do the steps that follow:
1. Make sure that the indicating instrument is correctly installed and configured. Refer to the
indicating instrument documentation.
2. Make sure that the connections between the indicating instrument and the sensor(s) on the
beverage package sampler are correct.
3. Always keep the indicating instrument energized to make sure that TC sensors are continuously
purged when the sensors are used in a liquid sample.
Note: The instrument is configured to continuously purge automatically while set to on.
4. Examine and prepare the sensors as follows:
a. Examine the oxygen sensor (EC). Shipping conditions can adversely have an effect on
oxygen sensors. Prepare the sensor for use. Refer to the maintenance section of the EC
Sensor documentation.
b. Examine the oxygen sensor (LDO). Prepare the sensor for use. Refer to the sensor
documentation.
c. Examine the TC sensor purge gas supply. Make sure that the gas supply operates before the
CO
or N
sensors are installed in-line. When the TC sensors are in touch with a liquid
