Step 8: Configure Basic Analyzer Settings - GE Sievers 900 Series Operation And Maintenance Manual

Sample Inlet port. Carefully rotate the tubing away from the Analyzer so that tubing is
clear of the inlet.
2. Locate the sipper tube (1/16" Teflon tubing with Valco nut) that is provided in the Analyzer's
accessories kit.
3. Insert the Valco fitting into the Sample Inlet port on the left side of the Analyzer.
4. Tighten the Valco fitting until it is finger-tight, and then tighten an additional 1/8 turn using
a 1/4" open-end wrench.
5. Place the open end of the sipper tube in the sample container, making sure that the end of
the tubing is immersed in the sample. Place parafilm over the container opening (do not
push the sipper tube through the parafilm or you may clog the tube).
6. For Grab mode operation, you can use either of two waste outlet options:
• To use the 3/4" OD waste tubing, connect the tubing to the waste outlet on the IOS
System by sliding the tubing over the barb fitting; place the hose clamp over the waste
line, to secure the connection to the waste outlet. A gravity drain must be provided for
the waste.
• To use the 1/8" waste tubing, you must first disconnect the 7/16" nut that connects to
the port labeled Waste. Attach the Swagelok fitting to the Waste port on the back of
the Analyzer and tighten 1/4 turn past finger-tight using a 7/16" open-end wrench.
The waste stream from the Analyzer is acidic and must be disposed of according to
local regulations.
If you will be sampling from a container in On-Line mode, you must first disable the flow sensor. For
details, see "Configuring the Flow Sensor" on page 118.

Step 8: Configure Basic Analyzer Settings

Before using the Analyzer, you will need to configure various basic settings. Some of these settings
will not need to be changed again, unless you move the Analyzer or reconfigure the operational
environment.
