2.2 Charging and Installing the Alcohol Felt
The isopropyl alcohol required for properly operating the CPC is a very high purity “reagent
grade” alcohol. Please refrain from using isopropyl alcohol that is available from stores such as
pharmacies or drug stores. Purity of those would be low, which may damage the CPC.
Any problems caused by a use of alcohol other than the isopropyl alcohol specified below will not
be covered under warranty.
Please ensure to use the appropriate alcohol with strict adherence to the handling directions.
For the method of supplying the alcohol, see 2.2.2 Charging the Alcohol Cartridge (page 9).
2.2.1 Checking Components
On supplying alcohol to the CPC, confirm that the following components and accessories are
prepared.
Required items:
- Alcohol bottle
- Storage cap
- Alcohol cartridge
- Isopropyl alcohol (not supplied with the instrument)
The alcohol cartridge must be stored in the alcohol bottle when not used in the CPC.
The storage cap must be used to seal the alcohol bottle, or to cap the alcohol cartridge insertion
opening of the CPC when the instrument is not in use.
