Preventive Maintenance
There are many procedures that need to be followed or reviewed when performing
Preventive Maintenance checks and replacements. Included are some general
guidelines for cleaning areas of the instrument with a bleach solution, lubricating
tips, and a reference list of PM procedures that are categorized by the instrument
system.
Cleaning with a Bleach Solution
Follow the guidelines below to create the proper concentration of bleach solution for
cleaning.
• Obtain a convenient quantity of bleach solution (available in one-gallon or about
3.3-liter volume).
• Note the concentration of the active ingredient, sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) as
provided on the label. Normally the concentration of commercially available
bleach solution is 5.25%.
• Dilute the bleach solution to obtain a final active ingredient concentration of about
1.0%. To dilute the solution, make a five-fold dilution using 1.0 part original
bleach solution and 4.0 parts distilled or deionized water.
Note:Sometimes the 1.0% has been referred to as 20%. This is based on the
premise that the original bleach solution is 100% and a five-fold dilution of it
results in a 20% concentration.
Lubricating Components
Note:Lubricate with Tufoil¨ Compu-Lube or equivalent unless otherwise specified
in the PM Checklist.

Guidelines for Using the IMT System
Shutdown Procedure
1.Operators will be trained to always keep IMT fluids on-board, even if not
running the system over a shift, day or weekend. Fluid usage should be
monitored and replaced as needed.
2.If IMT is not going to be run for an extended period (shift, day, weekend), the
operator should verify sufficient fluids are on-board to sustain the two-point
calibrations that will occur every two hours. The easiest approach in such a
circumstance may be to simply replace all fluids before the period of non-use. A
good rule of thumb is that the IMT system requires 48 consumable counts per
24-hour period of standby. Therefore, over a weekend you would want to have
approximately 100 counts of each fluid available when you leave on Friday. The
actual usage of each fluid during 24-hour standby is:
3.The shutdown procedure (replacement of IMT fluids with water, priming)
should only be used in exceptional circumstances, such as prolonged
shutdown/power down of the instrument (e.g., for instrument shipping) or if the
IMT is to be permanently deconfigured.
4.The following operational conditions may affect IMT fluid usage or system
performance:
a. Calibrations and cycling of IMT fluids will continue even if the sensor life
has exceeded 48 hours. Calibrations are only limited by the sufficiency of
fluids.
b. The manifolds valves are cycled (opened/closed) every five minutes, but no
fluids are consumed. This will always occur regardless of any consumables
except in diagnostics.
c. A two-point calibration will occur every two hours, whether the prior
calibration was successful or not. This ensures fluid and valve cycling
independent of sensor performance. The XL will stop calibrating if
unsuccessful.
d. In Diagnostics, no cycling or calibrating of IMT occurs. Prolonged periods in
Diagnostics may result in some difficulties recalibrating due to restart of
fluid flow and electrode drift. If in Diagnostics for prolonged periods of time
(>4 hours), working on the photometric side of the instrument, Diagnostics
should be exited periodically to recalibrate the IMT system.
