3. Remove 2 plastic caps and 7 swage caps on the back of the analyzer, and 3 plastic caps at the solvent tank. Keep them with the shipping boxes and related packing materials.
4. Connect the dryer bottle to the back of the analyzer:

7. Use wrench to connect the tubing to the autosampler:
Port at autosampler: Tubing:
Elbow fitting at bottom of
wash pot of vial heater
Labeled
“Bottom of Wash Pot”

8. Use wrench to connect the tubing to solvent tank:
Port label at solvent tank: Tubing label:
“Air In” “Air In”
“Solvent Out” “Solvent Out”
“Vent” “To Solvent Tank Vent”
9. Remove the cap of the waste tank, and carefully screw in the pour sprout (with level sensor attached).
10. Use wrench to connect the tubing to the waste tank:
Port at waste tank: Tubing:
Any of the
available ports
11. For the 2 vent tubes from the solvent tank and waste tank, direct the open end to a well-ventilated area such as an exhaust fume-hood. Exhaust liquid/fume s can emerge from these ports.
12. Connect the vial heater block vent tube to the waste tank. If this is not possible, direct the vial heater block vent tube to the exhaust. Install a cap on the waste tank barb fitting if directing the vial heater block vent tube to the exhaust.
13. Connect the sensor/heater cables to the back of the analyzer:
Port label at back of analyzer: Cable label:
“Transfer Tube Heater” “To Transfer Tubing Heater”
“Level Sensor” “To Level Sensor” “Heater Block 1” “Heater Block 1” “Heater Block 2” “Heater Block 2”
14. Connect the sensor cables to the solvent and waste tank:
Tank: Cable label:
Solvent: “Level Sensor” port
with cable labeled “S”
Waste: Cable labeled “W” “W”
½” OD tubing without
label (may have already
attached to the vent port)
“From Wash Pot To Waste Tank”
“To Waste Tank”
“To Waste Tank Vent”
“S”
15. Connect the RS232 cable from the “AUTOSAMPLER” port on the back of the analyzer to the “HOST” port of the autosampler.
“AUTOSAMPLER” port on
back of the analyzer
16. Connect the AC power cables:
a) Connect the AC power
cable to the back of the analyzer
Plug the power cables into a grounded AC outlet that is a dedicated circuit. If the power source is unstable or noisy, use a power surge protector, equipped with a line filter.
17. Fill solvent tank with Heptane:
a) Lift the handle on the solvent
tank lid to unlock the lid.
b) Remove the lid from the solvent
tank.
c) Fill the solvent tank with Heptane.
d) Replace the lid and push the
handle down to lock it. Before locking it, ensure that there is equal spacing around the entire lid between the lid and the tank for proper sealing.
e) Push the ball-valve handle down
to the horizontal position.

18. Power up the analyzer: Press the round button at the bottom right hand side at the
front of the analyzer.
- The analyzer will perform a set of self tests to verify its main components, including the optics system and cooling system, are operating correctly.
- If a problem is detected, the self tests will stop and a message will be displayed on the bottom of the screen.
- If any component fails the self tests, press the INTELLINOSTICS button for further information and troubleshooting steps.
- If the pour point function is available, the analyzer will automatically perform an auto-purge process
19. Power up the autosampler:
after the self tests.
Switch the power control above the power cable connector
to the “I” position.
- The autosampler will perform a series of self-tests, moving its arm to pre-defined locations.
Warning: The arm moves and rotates at a moderately fast speed during its self-tests. The tip of the autosampler probe is sharp.
Caution: Do not place obstacles that would block or impede the movement of the arm. If the arm movement is impeded at any point during the self-test causing it to stop or stutter, switch off the autosampler and
20. After the self-tests are completed, the analyzer shows the Vial Setup screen.
power it on again to reinitialize.
- The analyzer returns to this screen whenever the VIAL SETUP button is pressed.
- The Sample Cup Temperature, Optics Light Signal, and Run Count are displayed at the top of the screen.
- A set of Favorites buttons is listed on the right hand side of the screen.
- The main area in the middle of the screen is used for programming test settings for any vial position. The rows of circles represent the physical vial positions available on the two vial racks of the autosampler.
- The ACCESS button on the lower left ha nd corner is used for changing user access levels, resetting the analyzer, and shutdown.
21. Pressurize the solvent tank: Press “Analyzer Options” on the Toolbar at the
bottom of the analyzer screen.
On the Analyzer Options screen, press “Pressurize
Solvent Tank”.
On the Pressurize Solvent Tank screen, press “S tart
Pressurizing Solvent Tank”.
The pressurization will automatically stop once the
target pressure is reached, or if the tank failed to pressurize (due to the lid not closed properly, or the handle of the ball-valve is still in vertical position).
Once the pressurization has successfully completed,
press “Close” and the analyzer is now ready for testing.
22. To start a test: a) Fill a vial with sample to ¾ full. Insert a septa
inside the vial cap (Teflon side facing the sa mple), and screw the vial cap onto the vial. Place the v ial into any available position on the sample rack.
b) To program a vial using a
predefined test setting, simply drag a suitable favorite button to the vial position where the corresponding test sample has been placed on the sample rack.
c) Repeat the drag & drop
procedure if more than one vial needs to be programmed. After all vials have been programmed, press the START TEST button to start the test sequence.
