INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS:
The proper location is an important consideration; a poor location can lead to malfunction of
the analyzer. Please follow our environmental and electrical suggestions to ensure the
accuracy and precision of the analyzer and to maintain a high level of safety for your
personnel.
Since the analyzer is comparatively smaller, it can be comfortably accommodated on any

standard sized table.
Remember that a minimum 30cm. space is maintained between the rear panel and the wall
to allow for heat dissipation. The waste bottle should be placed below or on the same level
as the analyzer.
NOTE:
PROBLEM resulting from the relocation of the analyzer done by unauthorised service
representative are not covered under warranty.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS:
Voltage & Frequency : Single phase continuous stabilized AC 230/110 V

± 10%, 50 / 60 Hz.
Grounding : Perfect earthing must be provided at power source

with all applicable local requirement (A grounded,
3 pin power plug only should be used The Voltage
between earth and neutral should not exceed
more than 5 V )
Plug Points : 1 No. of 15/5 amps outlet and 2 No. of 5 Amp.

sockets should be available near the installation
desks. (Normally only one socket is required per
analyzer and 2 extra sockets are recommended
for using any measuring equipment and engineering tool if
required while servicing. Failure to properly ground the analyzer
bypasses important safety features and may result in an
electrical hazard. Heavy duty electrical devices like Air
conditioners, refrigerators, oven’s etc., should not be operated on
the same electrical lines as the analyzer.
Please ensure while taking any electrical measurement the Multi-meter used must have
valid calibration identification. The AC power adapter supplied with the analyser can be
used between 90 – 260 V AC, 50/60 Hz, supply that makes the power supply suitable for
use, universally. Also ensure that the power supply should be placed at a distance easily

accessible to the user. This will help the user to switch OFF the instrument immediately
during any emergency.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE:
1) Unpack the accessory box.
2) Remove the waste bottle and place it on the table.
3) The Analyzer comes equipped with an external AC power adapter and one three/two pin
power cord (with earth terminal) for external AC power adapter.
4) Proper use of the appropriate power cord assures adequate grounding for the system. Failure
to properly ground the analyzer bypasses important Safety features and may result in an
electrical hazard.
5) Connect the 3/2 pin cord (with earth terminal) of the external SMPS to the mains socket &
check the output of the SMPS it should be 18~24V DC +/ - 0.5 V DC.
6) Connect the Peristaltic Pump tubing correctly & place the end of the peristaltic pump tubing
coming out of the analyzer into the waste bottle provided for collecting the waste.
PRINTER HOUSING AND PRINTER PAPER INSTALLATION:
The analyzer is designed to interface with external devices such as hp deskjet printer
and PS/2 keyboard. These devices can be attached to the analyzer using appropriate
cables which comes along with the optional devices on the port/ connector as marked on
the rear of the analyser.
INTERNAL PRINTER PAPER INSTALLATION
To replace the paper roll, pull up release lever and remove the old roll spindle, which is
anchored inside the paper-holder housing. Cut out the end of the new paper roll in a ‘V’
shape, and slip the point of the “V” under the grey rubber roller so that the paper comes
out of the upper part and close the lock lever.
Refer below Figure 1 for proper routing and installation.
The thermal paper used must match the specification of the original one,
NOTE : since the calibration of the working temperature is optimized for that kind of
paper. Failure to use proper quality of paper may permanently damage the
printer.
CAUTION: RISK OF DANGER: DO NOT TOUCH THE PRINTER PAPER CUTTER

!
EXTERNAL PRINTER INSTALLATION:
Switch off the analyzer before connecting Hewlett Packard (hp) make printer.
