The chemistry unit can accommodate (depending on the applied chemistries) up to five chemistry modules and detection channels for running five chemistries simultaneously using one chemistry unit. The samples coming from a sampler and the reagents from the canisters are drawn to the chemistry unit by the multi-speed pump. The built-in air-injector provides air segmentation of the samples. On the chemistry module the required reagents are added to the samples and mixed in coils. Special in-line treatments of the reaction mixtures are possible: UV digestion, distillation, hydrolysis, dialysis, ionexchange/reduction, heating and cooling. The reaction mixtures are subsequently transferred to the built-in detection heads or separate external detectors (depending on the chemistry to be measured). After detection the reaction mixture is transferred to a waste receptacle, which must be connected to a waste facility. The measured signals are collected on a computer, where the data are processed. SA3000/5000 Chemistry unit Chapter 1 Introduction 1-2 The multi-speed pump with standby, analysis and fast rinse position takes care for a fast start-up and shutdown of the analyzer by pumping the reagents or rinsing solution at an elevated speed. For chemistries that need reactors (which are placed under the chemistry module plate), these reactors are connected to reactor controllers with clearly visible temperature displays, which are integrated at the front and/or the back of the pump in the chemistry unit. For chemistries with in-line distillation a back panel is integrated on the chemistry unit. Leak detectors are placed at the bottom of the chemistry unit. When a system controller is present and a leak is detected, the system will shut down. The chemistry can be built-up from left to right as well as from right to left (see Figure 1.2), which is an advantage (it keeps the sampling lines short and ease maintenance) when more chemistry channels are to be run simultaneously on a second SA3000/5000 chemistry unit. The chemistry unit can be run fully automatic in combination with a SA1050, SA1074 or SA1077 autosampler, electrical reagent valves, system controller and FlowAccessTM software. The SA3000 and SA5000 are identical chemistry units, except for the proportioning pump. The pump of the SA3000 is provided with one pump deck and roller cage that is equipped for 16 pump tubing’s, while the SA5000 is provided with a pump with two pump decks and roller cages and is equipped for 32 pump tubing’s. Figure 1.2 Example of system with SA1074 sampler and two chemistry units SA3000/5000 Chemistry unit 1.2 Chapter 1 Introduction 1-3 Safety precautions Only qualified personnel should carry out repair of the exposed equipment. 1. The instrument is designed for laboratory use. 2. Before the instrument is connected to the mains and switched on, check whether the required voltage (indicated on the type plate at the back of the instrument) corresponds with the line voltage. 3. The instrument power cord must only be plugged into a line supply outlet with ground protector (earth). If an extension cord is used, make sure that the protector line is not interrupted. 4. Opening of the instrument or disassembling of parts of the instrument can set free voltage carrying parts while the instrument is connected to the mains. Also connectors could carry voltage. Before any service, repair or change of parts, the instrument has to be disconnected from all power supplies. Service and repair work on voltage carrying open instruments should be avoided whenever possible. If such work is absolutely necessary, qualified personnel, who are aware of the hazards of this work, should carry it out. 5. Whenever it is likely that safe operation is impaired, the instrument must be made inoperative and secured against unintended operation. The appropriate servicing personnel must then be informed. 6. The instrument must be disconnected from all electrical sources when a fuse is to be replaced. 7. Keep the chemistry unit and all incorporated components dry and clean. 8.

SA3000/5000 Chemistry unit 3 Chapter 3 Maintenance 3-1 MAINTENANCE 3.1 Scheduled maintenance The following preventative maintenance procedures are recommended to assure continued reliable operation of the Skalar Flow Analyzer system. A. Daily: 1. Check all tubing for loose connections and leaks. 2. Check the reagents and standards, prepare new if required (see method sheets). 3. Perform the rinsing procedure as recommended for the method at the end of the operation. 4. Clean all spillage with a water-dampened cloth. If it is necessary to use a cleaning solution, first check the method for possible interaction with the reagents in use. 5. At the end of the operations, release the pump decks. If the system will be off for more than 48 hours, lift the air bars and turn them anti clockwise until the air tubing are released. This prevents premature occluding of the tubes. Note: The pump decks cannot be lifted if the ‘Time program’ is used in the software. B. Weekly 1. Check the reagent absorbance and primer sensitivity at least every week or whenever a new reagent or standard is used. Check the values obtained against previously obtained values. 2. Check if the pump decks at the inside contain a thin film of grease. Smoothen a fingertip of grease over the full plate and remove any overdose at the edges. 3. While the pump is running, take each silicone air tubing on both sides of the air injector and slide it slightly in either direction so that a new section is under the air bars. 4. Clean the rinsing liquid vessel on the sampler with a syringe and check for dirt. 5. Check the sample tubing. Replace if clogged or dirty. 6. Check the sample needle by pricking through the needle. Replace if blocked. 7. Rinse the system as recommended in the method sheet. C. Monthly 1. Use an alcohol-moisten cloth to wipe of the inside of the pump decks and then grease the plate with new grease. 2. Replace the silicon air tubing (SA3150/SA5150) with new tubing, see chapter 3.2. 3. Shift all pump tubing one bridge or, if this was already done, replace the tubing (see chapter 3.3). If the analyzer is not used daily for more than 5 hours, this stretching or replacement can be done after 2 months. 4. Use a clean soft cloth to wipe the sample needle. 5. Clean the interference filter using lens tissue. Replace if delaminated. 6. Replace, if present, the dialysis membrane(s) (see chapter 3.5). 7. Remove the syringe from the diluter and clean the inside of the syringe after removing the plunger with a soft brush and distilled water. If algae persist on the wall and the plunger, clean with 1:10 diluted hypo chlorite solution and rinse then thoroughly with distilled water. SA3000/5000 Chemistry unit Chapter 3 Maintenance 3-2 D. 6 Monthly 1. Check the pump decks for wear every six months, or after 1000 hours of pumping time, and replace if worn. 2. Check the pump rollers and clean with a dry soft clean cloth. 3. If applicable, replace the CO2 absorbent cartridge. E. Yearly 1. Replace the halogen detector lamp yearly, or after 3500 hours of use. 2. Check the interference filters if they are dark around the edges. If so, replace them. 3. Clean all coils, waste vessels, glass tubing, distillation unit, flow cells and Perspex manifolds and replace all tubing as described in chapter 3.2, 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5. For replacement procedures in the optional equipment see their respective manuals. 3.2 Changing the air tubing Note: Always replace all air tubing at the same time and replace them one by one to prevent mixing up. Required: Silicon tubing 0.5 ID: cat. no. SA3150 or 1.0 ID cat. no SA5150 Procedure: 1. Switch off the power of the SA3000/5000. 2. Pull and turn the rings fixed to the bars clockwise, so that the tubing’s are released (see Figure 3.1). 3. Disconnect the first mounted silicone air tubing from the manifold, combs and air supply pin. 4. Take new silicone tubing. Cut off straight a piece at the same length as the removed tubing by means of Figure 3.1 a razor blade. 5. Connect this tubing to the appropriate air supply pin, air injector combs and manifold. 6. Repeat step 3 – 5 for all air tubing on the air injector, one by one. 7. Replace any short-circuited pieces of tubing on the air supply pins by new pieces. 8. Pull and turn the rings counter clockwise until the air tubing’s are tensioned under the bars. 3.3 Moving the bridges or replacing the pump tubing Note: Preferably move or replace all pump tubing at the same time and replace them one by one to prevent mixing up. Procedure for moving the bridges: 1. Make sure the tubing’s are empty (preferred) or filled with distilled water (no reagents!). 2. Switch off the power of the SA3000/5000. SA3000/5000 Chemistry unit Chapter 3 Maintenance 3-3 3. Pull up the handle of the pump deck. Pull the locking pins towards each other (see Figure 3.2). 4. Pull up the pump deck until the locking pins can rest on the side, when the locking pins are released (see Figure 3.3). Remove the pump deck by pulling it away from the pump (see arrows in Figure 3.3). 5. Check if the clamp at the side of the sampler has moved up when the pump deck was opened. If not pull the clamp up a bit by hand. Now the tension on the pump tubing is a bit released. Figure 3.2 6. Loosen the bridge of the pump tubing from the clamp at the side of the module. 7. Loosen the bridge of the pump tubing from the clamp at the side of the sampler and place this bridge on the clamp at the side of the module. 8. Place the extra bridge on the clamp at the side of the sampler. 9. Cut off the tubing at the side of the module to the length required for the connection to the manifold on the module and dry the module with a cloth. Avoid leakage and/or Figure 3.3 spillage. 10. Repeat step 6 – 9 for all pump tubing. 11. Slightly grease the pump deck(s) and replace the decks. 12. Close the decks by pushing them down while pulling the locking pins together until the pins can lock the deck. The clamp is pushed down with the deck, thus stretching the pump tubing on the roller cage. Lower the handle Procedure for replacing the pump tubing: Required: Pump tubing in the sizes mentioned in the method sheets, sleeves. Note: If a column is present on the module, bypass it. 1. Let the system rinse with distilled water and then let the system run empty. 2. Switch off the power. 3. Pull up the handle of the pump deck. Pull the locking pins towards each other (see Figure 3.2). 4. Pull up the pump deck(s) until the locking pins can rest on the side, when the locking pins are released (see Figure 3.3). Remove the pump deck(s) by pulling it away from the pump (see arrows in Figure 3.3). SA3000/5000 Chemistry unit Chapter 3 Maintenance 3-4 5. Loosen the first pump tubing from the clamps and its connections. 6. Take a pump tubing of the same size and make a connection with the supply tubing or the valve. Use a sleeve if necessary. For the connection with the valve a piece of SA3035 tubing is used for pump tubing smaller than SA3032. Use a little lubricant. 7. Place the bridges on the clamps, leaving the extra bridge at the side of the sampler. 8. Connect the pump tubing to the manifold. 9. Repeat step 5 – 8 for all pump tubing. 10. Slightly grease the pump deck(s) and replace the decks. 11. Close the decks by pushing them down while pulling the locking pins together until the pins can lock the deck. The clamp is pushed down with the deck, thus stretching the pump tubing on the roller cage. Lower the handle. 3.4 Tubing connections Examples for sleeving: Perspex-tubing connection: The dialyzers and some manifolds have perspex connectors on which no lubricant may be used. 1. Required: Diluted (0.3 0/00) Brij 35, lubricant, sleeves, a small pipette and a scalpel 2. With a sharp scalpel blade score the sleeve to no more then half the thickness of the sleeve (see Figure 3.4). 3. Score the sleeve down its full length; avoid any contact with the Perspex connector. 4. Use your thumb nails to pry open the sleeve (see Figure 3.5). 5. When the sleeve is fully open it can be removed. 6. Use lubricant to ease the new sleeve back onto the tubing (see Figure 3.6). 7. Position the tubing so that it is half way into the sleeve. Figure 3.4 Figure 3.5 Figure 3.6 SA3000/5000 Chemistry unit Chapter 3 Maintenance 3-5 8. Use a few drops of Brij 35 (0.3 0/00) in water to lubricate the open half of the sleeve (see Figure 3.7). Figure 3.7 9. Position the sleeve back onto the Perspex connector, making sure there are no gaps (see Figure 3.8). 10. Run the analyzer and check to make sure there are no leaks Figure 3.8 Tubing-glass connection: A tubing-glass connection is made when connecting a tubing to a coil. The ID of the coil is the same as the ID of the tube. The OD’s however differ and so an extra sleeve is used to connect them (see Figure 3.9). 1. Slide a piece of SA 5401 (2.4 mm ID) sleeve over the SA 5142 (1.5 mm ID) tubing; use some lubricant to ease the sliding. 2. Cut off straight the tubing, so that the sleeve has the length of one centimeter. 3. Then take a piece of 2 cm Figure 3.9 of SA 5400 (3.2 mm ID) sleeve, slide one end over the sleeve just made and the other end over the end of the glass coil. Glass-glass connection: 1. Make sure that the glass Figure 3.10 ends are touching each other and the connection is the center of the sleeve (see Figure 3.10). 2. Use SA 5400 for all glass-glass connections except for reactors (use SA 5192 acidflex) and distillation units (use SA 5194 acidflex). SA3000/5000 Chemistry unit Chapter 3 Maintenance 3-6 3.5 Replacing the pump deck springs 1. Close the pump deck and lower the handle. 2. Push the locking pin (see arrow in Figure 3.11) out of the handle. 3. Firmly press the deck down by hand and carefully pull the locking pins towards each other. 4. Gradually release the pressure of your hand on the deck until the tension is away. Figure 3.11 5. Now the deck is divided in two parts and the upper part can be taken away. 6. Replace the six springs and replace the upper deck. 7. Push the deck down until the deck can be locked with the locking pins. 8. Replace the handle and drive in the locking pin. 3.6 Adjustment of the air-pressure Warning: Only qualified personnel, who are aware of the hazards when working with open equipment, should perform this work. 1. The membrane pump with air-reducing valve is located behind the front cover with the On/Off switch and pump speed control (see Figure 3.12). Figure 3.13 Figure 3.12 2. Set the speed control to normal speed. 3. Release the hexagonal screw at the bottom of the front cover (see arrow in Figure 3.12), pull the cover carefully to the front and lay it down (see Figure 3.13). 4. Turn the locking ring of the air-reducer a quarter turn counter clockwise (see left arrow in Figure 3.13) to release it. SA3000/5000 Chemistry unit Chapter 3 Maintenance 3-7 5. Then turn the knob (see right arrow in Figure 3.13) until the air bubbles are at the size as required (size between 2 and 5 mm without the meniscus at both sides). More pressure creates bigger air bubbles; less pressure smaller air bubbles. 6. When the air bubbles are at the required size, tighten the locking ring by turning it clockwise (make sure not to turn the knob with it). 7. Close the front cover and replace and tighten the screw. 3.7 Changing pre-mount membranes Required: Membranes with the cat.no. SA5282 or SA5283. Remark: For Teflon and pergamin membranes follow the procedure as described in the corresponding method sheet. 1. Loosen and remove the dialyzer mounting bolts with a hexagonal wrench (see Figure 3.14). Start with the middle bolts and work out. Figure 3.14 2. Gently lift off the top half of the dialyzer and remove the old membrane (see Figure 3.15). 3. Clean the dialyzer block on both sides with water and dry with a cloth; make sure that both surfaces are free of dirt. 4. Take a new membrane, open the package by cutting the plastic package at three sides to avoid any damage to the membrane (see Figure 3.16) 5. Open the flap you created and take out the membrane carefully by the white plastic surroundings. 6. Rinse the new membrane with distilled water to remove the conservation fluid. Center the membrane on the dialyzer bottom plate (see Figure 3.17). Make sure that the flat side is under (carton side up). Figure 3.15 Figure 3.16 Figure 3.17 SA3000/5000 Chemistry unit Chapter 3 Maintenance 3-8 7. Make a cross incision with a blade in the membrane on the 2 center holes of the dialyzer bottom plate. Make also cross incisions on the holes for the mounting bolts (for this size of dialyzer 4, see Figure 3.18). 8. Carefully position the dialyzer top plate on the bottom plate (see Figure 3.19). Figure 3.18 9. Carefully push the mounting bolts through the membrane and tighten the bolts until Figure 3.19 finger tight (see Figure 3.20). 10. Then tighten the bolts with an Allen key (starting with the inside bolts), carefully tighten down in stages to hand tight. Rinse the system several minutes with distilled water and check if there are no leaks Figure 3.20 Important notes: 1. When the analyzer is not in operation the membrane should remain in contact with the rinsing liquid/distilled water. Never leave the membrane dry. 2. If the membrane frequently breaks during rinsing, it is advisable to use 1 drop of wetting agent per liter in the rinsing liquid of the unit (not in the rinsing liquid of the sampler!).

Compartment 1 houses the power supply board, the proportioning pump, the membrane pump with air-reducing valve, the reactor control unit(s) and the electronics for the reactor control unit(s) and pump. • Compartment 2 houses the chemistry modules (up to five). • Compartment 3 houses the detection heads and the waste receptacles. In Compartment 1 the proportioning pump (4) is mounted on top of the bracket above the electronic boards. The electronic boards are mounted upside down against the bracket and can, if necessary, be reached from the bottom side after removing the cover of the bracket. The multi-speed proportioning pump has two pump decks, divided by the air injector and is provided with a drain to compartment 2 in the case that the pump tubing are leaking. (The SA3000 has a pump with one pump deck). The membrane pump with reducing valve for the air supply is placed just behind the front cover (5, membrane pump not visible on Figure 4.4, see Figure 3.13). In the front cover (see Figure 4.1), the On/Off switch and the speed selector for the multi-speed proportioning pump is placed. Also a dual channel reactor control unit is mounted here. If no reactors are present a blind plate covers the opening. • Figure 4.1 Front cover Figure 4.2 Back cover Figure 4.3 In the back cover (see Figure 4.2 and no. 6 in Figure 4.4) the power entry, the fan, the connector (9-p sub-D) for the system controller, the reactor control unit (only if more than two reactors are present on the chemistry modules), the air inlet and 4 mini DIN connectors for external connections are placed. When more than 4 reactors and/or other devices (as UV digesters, analogue detectors and external pumps) are present, and the system is equipped with a system controller, these devices are connected to an external system controller power bar (cat. no. 28505940, see Figure 4.3), which is connected to the required DIN connector on the interface. Each type requires its own socket bench. The DIN connector called ‘second CFA’ is used to connect a second SA5000 chemistry unit to be controlled by the same system controller (cable is connected to 9-p sub D on second chemistry unit). SA3000/5000 Chemistry unit Chapter 4 Technical information 4-3 In Compartment 2 up to five module plates can be placed (max. 3 with a width of 83 mm and 2 with a width of 105 mm) complete with reactors and UV digesters (placed under the module plate). The connectors for the reactors are placed in the wall between compartment 1 and 2. Dialyzers, heat exchangers and ionexchange/reduction columns can be part of the chemistry module. Two doors (one at the front side and one at the back side) provide access under the module plates, where the leak detectors are placed on the bottom. The back door is provided with openings for tubing and cables (i.e. for water bath and UV digester). The configuration with narrow and wide module plates is dependent on the requested applications. Figure 4.4 Housing SA 5000 In Compartment 3 the detection heads are placed. In principle up to four 2-channel detection heads can be placed or up to 5 detection heads with matrix correction. Up to five waste receptacles are mounted in clamps. The compartment is provided with a door at the side with openings for detection cables and waste tubing. Optionally a back panel is integrated on the chemistry unit for distillation parts (see Figure 1.1). SA3000/5000 Chemistry unit Chapter 4 Technical information 4-4 4.3 Proportioning pump The multi-speed proportioning pump (cat. no 22300360) with integrated air-bubble injector is belt-driven by a stepper motor. The pump speed can be varied. The pump has two roller cages (cat. no. 22300361 has one roller cage) that are turned by a rotary axle with needle bearing. Up to 16 pump tubing can be mounted over each roller cage on the combs by means of the bridges on the pump tubing. The roller cages are closed by the pump decks. The pump decks are provided with springs. When the pump handle is in its lower position, the inside of the deck pushes against the tubing thus bringing pressure on the tubing at a calibrated level. The inside of the pump deck is slotted in such a way (double radius) that the most possible gradual flow is obtained. The sides of the pump deck rest, in closed position, on a support. When the pump deck is closed (or opened) the pump tubing’s are also stretched (or released) by the tightening mechanism fixed to one comb. When the pump is operating the roller cages rotate and at least one of the rollers is pushing against the tubing’s. When the roller cages are turning the tubing’s are held taut and the liquid is drawn into the tubing’s and then pushed forward. Figure 4.5 Proportioning pump To prevent premature wearing, the pump decks should always be slightly greased and opened when the analyzer system is not in use. Only when a system controller is present on the analyzer system it is not necessary to open the pump decks (see also the FlowAccessTM manual). SA3000/5000 Chemistry unit Chapter 4 Technical information 4-5 The Cross-sections of air-injector and pump are shown in Figure 4.6 and Figure 4.7. Figure 4.6 Figure 4.7 The pump speed is changed by the speed selector in the front panel. Four modes are possible: 1. Off 2. Standby (1 rpm). This speed can be used to save reagents between two analyses and keeps the system in fast start-up condition 3. Normal (6 rpm). This speed is used during analysis. 4. High (10 rpm). This speed can be applied for fast rinse at the end of the analysis before shutdown By pressing shortly on the selector, one can toggle between the speed options. To switch the pump off, press the selector during a few seconds. When the power switch is put on, the pump starts automatically at normal speed, even if the chemistry unit was switched off in another mode. Any liquid that is leaking from the pump tubing in the pump is collected under the pump and drained to the chemistry compartment. If a system controller is present, the leak will be detected and the system is shut down. SA3000/5000 Chemistry unit 4.4 Chapter 4 Technical information 4-6 Air injector The air-injector is assembled in the proportioning pump and is driven by the motor of the proportioning pump, so the air bubble supply is synchronous parallel with the liquid supply. The air-injector pump is supplied with air by the membrane pump. The membrane pump supplies air continuously when the proportioning pump is on. The air tubes are laying on top of the air-injector under two bars. A wheel, with five bars, connected with the main axle of the roller cages, turns at the same speed as the roller cages. Above the wheel two rollers are located that are pushed up each time one of the five rollers passes beneath it. These rollers are located under a tumbler that pushes one bar up and the other bar down each time the rollers go up. This mechanism results in a precise uniform up and down movement of the bars, creating a regular pattern of 30 air bubbles per minute at normal speed (6 rpm). This working principle allows automatic injection of air bubbles in the manifolds through which the samples enter the chemistry modules. Up to ten air tubing’s (cat. no. SA3150 or SA5150) can be connected to the air pins on the air block. If not all air pins are used the remaining pins should be short-circuited by pieces of tubing. When releasing the air tubes always switch off the power. Pull the rings and turn them a quarter of a turn. Figure 4.8 Air pump 4.5 Membrane pump The membrane air pump operates with an electromagnetic drive and is suitable for permanent use. The air pump is placed in compartment 1 of the chemistry unit below the proportioning pump and just behind the front cover. The pump takes the air directly from the atmosphere and provides a constant airflow. The input of the air pump is connected with the air inlet nipple in the back cover, providing fresh air supply. The output of the air pump is connected to the reducing valve and then to the air block of the air injector. When the use of nitrogen or clean compressed air is necessary, the air pump can be connected at the back of the instrument with a nitrogen (or compressed air) supply. The nitrogen (or compressed air) supply must be adjusted prior to the inlet of the chemistry unit with a regulator valve at 0.9 to 1 bar (14-15 psi or 90 – 100 kPa). The tubing for the connections from and to the membrane pump is cat.no. SA 5133. SA3000/5000 Chemistry unit 4.6 Chapter 4 Technical information 4-7 Reactor and control unit If a reactor is required for the chemistry module, this reactor is placed under the module plate and connected to the electronics by an amphenol connector in the wall of the compartment. Several different sizes of reactors with glass or metal coils are available. For specific information about the reactor refer to its separate manual. A built-in reactor control unit controls the temperature of the reactor. This control unit is Figure 4.9 placed in the front cover and/or back cover and each control unit can handle two reactors at the same time. When the reactor is not switched on the display will show ‘OFF’, as soon as the chemistry unit is switched on. To switch on the control unit: Press the Standby button during 2 seconds (most right button on the control unit). When the control unit is to be switched off press the standby button again during 2 seconds. Starting from SA3000 serial number 04115 and SA5000 serial number 04158 it is possible to switch off one reactor independently by means of the control unit. • To switch off one reactor: Press the button of the reactor to be switched off (S1 or S2) and the Standby button at the same time during 2 seconds. The display of that channel will show OFF. Note: When the chemistry unit was switched off (or after a power cut), both reactors are always switched on when the chemistry unit is switched on. • If a system controller is present on the chemistry unit: The reactor can be switched on/off by means of the system controller (see the FlowAccessTM manual). The control unit however stays on when the reactor is switched off and will keep its settings when the chemistry unit is switched back on. So when one reactor was switched off before an analysis and the system was switched off after the analysis by the system controller, this reactor stays off when the system is waked up and has to be switched on manually by keeping the corresponding button and Standby button pressed simultaneously during 2 seconds. Temperature display: The control unit will be pre-set on the required temperature for the chemistry module. When the control unit is switched on, the display will show the actual temperature of the reactor as indicated by the light on the display (LED 1 ON = actual temperature of S1 and LED 2 ON = actual temperature of S2). By default the temperature of S1 is displayed. To switch to the display of the actual temperature of the second reactor (S2) press the S2 button during a moment. To display the pre-set temperature of a reactor keep the corresponding button pressed. As soon as the button is released the actual temperature is displayed again. The pre-set temperature can be changed if required (see chapter 4.6.1). SA3000/5000 Chemistry unit Chapter 4 Technical information 4-8 4.6.1 Adjusting the pre-set temperature The pre-set temperature of the reactors can be adjusted if required by using a combination of buttons. To increase the pre-set temperature of reactor 1: 1. Press button S1 and keep it pressed (the current pre-set temperature is displayed). 2. Press the arrow-up button until the required pre-set temperature is displayed. Then release both buttons. The actual temperature is displayed. 3. The reactor will heat up until the pre-set temperature is achieved. To decrease the pre-set temperature of reactor 1: 1. Press button S1 and keep it pressed (the current pre-set temperature is displayed). 2. Press the arrow-down button until the required pre-set temperature is displayed. Then release both buttons. The actual temperature is displayed. 3. The reactor will cool down until the pre-set temperature is achieved. Use the same procedure for the adjustment of reactor 2 with button S2. 4.6.2 Error messages The following messages can be displayed: F1: Caused by short circuit or crack in sensor 1. Check if the cable of reactor 1 was properly connected to the required connector in the separation wall between compartment 1 and 2. F2: Caused by short circuit or crack in sensor 2. Check if the cable of reactor 2 was properly connected to the required connector in the separation wall between compartment 1 and 2. EP: Lost of parameter settings. The control unit has to be sent to Skalar or your local representative for repair.
