OPERATING, MAINTAINING

AND SERVICING THE miniAV-LT

This chapter of the miniAV-LT Instruction & Operation Manual contains
information regarding the operation, service and maintenance of the
miniAV-LT instrument. For additional information on required utilities,
instrument installation and setup, refer to Chapter 1.

miniAV-LT components

The standard miniAV-LT installation includes these primary components:

Bath unit

Waste Receiver

Power supply

AWHE

NOTE

The installation also requires user-supplied solvent vessels. CANNON
supplies two G-38 reagent bottle caps (for recommended solvent ves-
sels). The user must ensure solvent compatibility for dual solvent sys-
tems, since solvent residue will mix in the system. Additionally, any new
solvents should be compatible with previously-used solvents, since
residue from original solvents may remain in the solvent lines and/or
Waste Receiver.

Bath Unit

The Bath Unit houses the primary control and operating systems for the
miniAV-LT, including modular service components, temperature bath
with viscometer tube, sample vial holder, and related hardware.
