Instrument Installation Procedure
To install the ANKOM
200
Fiber Analyzer, follow the procedure detailed below.
1. Remove the instrument from the shipping container and place it in an area that is within six feet of a
drain and water supply on a surface that is firm and level. The instrument must not be subject to
excessive shock, vibration, dirt, moisture, oil, or other fluids.
Do NOT place this instrument near microwave ovens or mechanical devices.
Your instrument comes complete with an Exhaust Hose, a Power Cord, and a Bag Suspender Assembly
(including Bag Suspender Trays and a Bag Suspender Weight).
The Bag Suspender has a total of nine trays. Eight of the trays hold up to three filter bags per tray. The
ninth tray is used as a cover. The weight is used to keep all of the trays together as the Bag Suspender
moves up and down inside the Vessel during operation.
2. Connect and secure the Exhaust Hose so that it will not move when hot pressurized fluid is exhausted.
3. With the Power Switch in the OFF position, plug the Power Cord into the Power Cord Inlet on the right
side of the instrument (when looking at the front).
4. Plug the Power Cord into the power source.
