Page 8: Installation
Installation 2 Installation 2.1 Setting check up Since the analyser weighs about 90 kg it should be placed on a suitably stable surface. Due to the balance, the platform should be as free of vibration as possible. The loader is attached to the right side of the analyser. There are no strong recommendations where to place the balance, PC, display and printer. -

Page 10: Mains Power Connections
Installation 2.3 Mains power connections Since the infrared cell requires about 1 hour for reaching a stable operating temperature, it is advisable to first connect the analyzer to the mains power and to set the mains power switch to position 1 before further installation work is carried out. -
Page 11: Data Interface
24V connector Digital input/output signals Autoloader connection Regulating valve (not relevant for CS-580A) When all units are connected to the mains power, then interface connections can be made. The required interface cables are included in the scope of supply. The supplied additional devices have been already adapted to the interfaces when the analyzers are taken into operation in our company. -
Page 12: Oxygen Connection
Installation Please note: As the balance transfers the weight to the PC, its serial interface must be programmed. This is important, if you use a balance, which was not ordered with the analyzer. NOTICE For all instructions for using the PC software refer to the Help-function of the software. - Page 13 Installation Off. The analyzer is completely switched off. Standby. The thermostatic control of the IR-cell is switched on. The furnace is switched off and the gas flow is disabled. Communication with the PC is possible. Furnace on.

2.8 Temperature adjustment The furnace temperature is PC-controlled. The CS-580A is delivered with 1350°C set temperature saved in a software profile. After switching on the instrument at position 2 and starting of the UNI-software, the heating up to the set temperature is started automatically. (The cable connection between instrument and PC is in the scope of supply). -

PC-screen and saved in the database of the software. A series of analyses can be run with the CS-580A (Helios) analyzer. To do this, repeat steps 1 to 7 for every sample in the series, while each crucible is placed as next after the last one placed on the loader. -
Page 18: Procedure Of Carrying Out Analyses With Manual Loading Of The Sample
3.1.2 Procedure of carrying out analyses with manual loading of the sample Although the CS-580A (Helios) is equipped with an autoloader and normally analyses are carried out using this autoloader, it is possible to load the sample manually for analysis. -
Page 19: Tic-Determination
Analysis 3.2 TIC-determination 3.2.1 TIC-module Due to the modular design of the CS-580 (Helios), the analyzer can be upgraded by a module for Total Inorganic Carbon (TIC) without further modification. For the TIC determination, the sample is treated with acid in the TIC module. 3.2.2 TIC analysis The sample is treated with acid in an Erlenmeyer flask inside the TIC-module. -

Page 24: Maintenance
Maintenance 4 Maintenance 4.1 General information – Replace the magnesium perchlorate of the moisture trap of the furnace after 150 analyses. See chapter “Front panel illustration” and “Filling the reagent tubes”. In order to save material, replace first the upper half. The next time replace the whole of the magnesium perchlorate. - Page 25 Maintenance The O-rings are only replaced when they can no longer adequately seal, due to a damage or age. When removing the old O-rings, be ensure that the sealing areas of the fittings are not damaged. NOTICE When replacing O-rings, never grease the new O-rings before installation. Otherwise, the O-rings will turn with the glass tube when trying to remove it.

Page 27: Filling Quantities
Maintenance Before the reagent tubes are fitted, the O-rings and the inner ends of the tubes should be lubricated with high vacuum silicon grease. 4.2.2 Filling quantities As different samples can contain different amounts of moisture, it is hard to give a precise number of analyses that can be made before the content of the reagent tubes should be replaced. - Page 28 Maintenance 1 2 0 L a n c e 3 0 0 2 0 0 1 0 0 C a r r i e r 3 0 0 2 0 0 1 0 0 I n l e t I n l e t G a s C / S - A n a l y s e r A u t o s a m p l e r...

Page 30: Dust Filter Cartridge Replacing
Maintenance Fig. 11: Preparation of moisture trap O-rings 4.5 Dust filter cartridge replacing The dust filter cartridge filters smallest dust particles from the combustion gases. Its saturation depends on the sample material and its combustion characteristics. The filtering material of a new cartridge is white. Replace the dust filter cartridge when the filtering material shows coloration, or at least every 500 analysis. -
