OPERATING, MAINTAINING
AND SERVICING THE miniAV-X
This chapter of the miniAV-X Instruction & Operation Manual contains
information regarding the operation, service and maintenance of the
miniAV-X instrument. For additional information on required utilities,
instrument installation and setup, refer to Chapter 1.
miniAV-X components
The standard miniAV-X installation includes these primary components:
Bath unit
Waste Receiver assembly
Power supply
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-X, including modular service components, temperature bath with
viscometer tube, carousel vial holder, and related hardware.
