CHAPTER 5 – INSTALLATION AND OPERATIONAL QUALIFICATION
This procedure describes the steps for installation and testing of the basic mechanics of the unit
and should be done on all new units or units returning from factory service.
1. Position the unit on a flat level surface away from heat (radiators, stoves, direct sunlight,
etc.) and moisture (sinks, drains, etc.).
2. Connect the unit to a power source. The main power supply connection must provide
(depending on the model):
110 VAC +/- 10%; 60 Hz; 10A; grounded
220 VAC +/- 10%; 50 Hz; 6A; grounded
In addition to the ATP anti-blackout feature, an uninterruptible power
supply (UPS) can be utilized to provide power for short power outages
and some protection against power fluctuations, line noise and power
spikes. Use of a UPS is highly recommended for sites which
experience “brown-outs” or other power fluctuations.
The use of adapters to plug in more than one instrument to the same
outlet (power strip) does not provide a reliable power supply. It may
produce overheating and create a potential fire hazard. ECC electrical
instrument directives forbid such practices.
3. Turn the power on.
4. Select the preferred Language on the initial screen.
5. From the Main screen select Service/ Edit Setup. Set the elevation to the appropriate
value for the location of the laboratory. (See Chapter 12 for more details.)
This is particularly important for higher elevation location. Failure to set
the elevation could result in short fill and pressure errors.
6. Choose your Alarm settings.
7. From the Main screen select Service/ Pressure Test. Perform a pressure test to
confirm the operation of the pumps and sensors associated with the pressure system.
8. From the Main screen select Service/ Vacuum Test. Perform a vacuum test to confirm
the operation of the pumps and sensors associated with the vacuum system.
9. From the Main screen select Service/ Retort Heating. Perform a Retort heating test.
