Step 9: Flushing and Rinsing the Analyzer

Before placing the Analyzer into normal operation, you should perform a reagent flush to remove
any gas bubbles that may have formed in the reagent lines and then let the Analyzer run in On-line
mode for 12 hours to thoroughly rinse the Analyzer.
For the reagent flush, the Analyzer must be connected to an on-line supply of DI water. Make sure
the on-line sample flow is open and available to the Analyzer before continuing.
When the supply of DI water is connected to the Analyzer, proceed to flush and rinse the Analyzer
as follows:
1. Make sure the Analyzer is powered on. If you have an ICR, make sure the lever is set to the
Inline position.
2. If the Menu screen is not displayed, press the Menu button. Then, select the Setup tab.
3. Press the On-Line button.
4. Select the Maintenance tab, and press the Consumables button.
5. Press the Flush... button.
6. Press the Both button.
7. Wait for the flush to complete. The Analyzer will not respond to additional commands until
the flush is finished, after about 10 minutes. Do not disrupt power to the Analyzer while the
flush is in progress.
8. When the flush is complete, turn off power to the Analyzer with the main power switch.
Open the Analyzer case and visually inspect the Analyzer for leaks, especially around the DI
water reservoir. If a leak is detected, make sure all fittings are tight and secure. Otherwise,
close the Analyzer case and power the Analyzer on.
9. Press the Start Analysis button. Let the Analyzer run for 12 hours.
10. After 12 hours, press the Stop Analysis button.
11. Turn off power to the Analyzer with the main power switch. Open the Analyzer case and
again visually inspect the Analyzer for leaks, especially around the DI water reservoir. If a
leak is detected, make sure all fittings are tight and secure.
