3.6.6 Leveling the instrument
When installed in its final posi-tion on
the laboratory bench, the instrument
must be exactly level! (see also chap-
ter 3.1 ‘Site requirements’).
• If necessary, the instrument can be slightly
readjusted via the adjustable instrument
feet.
• For that purpose, screw the instrument feet
in or out, as needed, until the instrument is
positioned horizontally.
3. Installation
3.6.5 Connecting the inlet hose to the tap
• Connecting to 3/4“ water tap:
Connect the ball valve to the water tap and
attach the tap water inlet hose to the ball
valve.
• Connecting to 1/2“ water tap:
Fit the adapter in between water tap and
ball valve.
When setting up the instrument, an ad-
justment of the tap water flow rate has
to be done. This adjustment cannot be
done until after the tap water stations
have been inserted. - For detailed in-
structions on the flow rate adjustment,
see Chapter 6.8.3!
3.6.4 Placing the instrument in its
permanent position
• Place the instrument in its permanent posi-
tion on the laboratory bench.
• Connect the exhaust air hose to the fume
hood, or lead outside.
• Insert drain hose into drain.
For safety reasons, we recommend us-
ing a so-called ‘Aquastop’ device, as
commonly used with household appli-
ances.
• Do not yet open neither water tap nor ball
valve (see above)!
Ball valve closed.
