Read all labels and tags attached to the instrument. Personal injury or
damage to the instrument could occur if not observed. A symbol on the
instrument is referenced in the manual with a precautionary statement.
This symbol, if noted on the instrument, references the instruction
manual for operation and/or safety information.
Electrical equipment marked with this symbol may not be disposed of
in European public disposal systems after 12 August of 2005. In
conformity with European local and national regulations (EU Directive
2002/96/EC), European electrical equipment users must now return
old or end-of-life equipment to the Producer for disposal at no charge
to the user.
This symbol indicates that a risk of electrical shock and/or
electrocution exists.
This symbol indicates the need for protective eye wear.
This symbol, when noted on the product, identifies the location of a
fuse or current limiting device.
This symbol identifies a risk of chemical harm and indicates that only
individuals qualified and trained to work with chemicals should handle
chemicals or perform maintenance on chemical delivery systems
associated with the equipment.
This symbol identifies the presence of a strong corrosive or other
hazardous substance and a risk of chemical harm. Only individuals
qualified and trained to work with chemicals should handle chemicals
or perform maintenance on chemical delivery systems associated
with the equipment.
This symbol indicates that the marked item can be hot and should not
be touched without care.
This symbol indicates the presence of devices sensitive to Electro-
static Discharge (ESD) and indicates that care must be taken to
prevent damage with the equipment.
Certification
Canadian Radio Interference-Causing Equipment Regulation,
IECS-003, Class A:
Supporting test records reside with the manufacturer.
This Class A digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian
Interference-Causing Equipment Regulations.
Cet appareil numérique de classe A répond à toutes les exigences de la
réglementation canadienne sur les équipements provoquant des
interférences.
FCC Part 15, Class "A" Limits
4 English
Supporting test records reside with the manufacturer. The device
complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following conditions:
1. The equipment may not cause harmful interference.
2. The equipment must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by
the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to
operate the equipment. This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of
the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated
in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential
area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be
required to correct the interference at their expense. The following
techniques can be used to reduce interference problems:
1. Disconnect the equipment from its power source to verify that it is or
is not the source of the interference.
2. If the equipment is connected to the same outlet as the device
experiencing interference, connect the equipment to a different
outlet.
3. Move the equipment away from the device receiving the interference.
4. Reposition the receiving antenna for the device receiving the
interference.
5. Try combinations of the above.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) considerations
NOTICE
Potential Instrument Damage. Delicate internal electronic components
can be damaged by static electricity, resulting in degraded
performance or eventual failure.
Refer to the steps in this procedure to prevent ESD damage to the
instrument:
• Touch an earth-grounded metal surface such as the chassis of an
instrument, a metal conduit or pipe to discharge static electricity from
the body.
• Avoid excessive movement. Transport static-sensitive components in
anti-static containers or packages.
• Wear a wrist strap connected by a wire to earth ground.
• Work in a static-safe area with anti-static floor pads and work bench
pads.
Product overview
This instrument contains a UV lamp and a heater block that prepare a
sample for an analyzer. This instrument is for indoor use only. Refer to

Instrument placement
CAUTION
Ozone inhalation hazard. Under certain conditions, this instrument
produces ozone concentrations above safe exposure limits. Plumb
waste gases to a fume hood or to the building exterior in accordance
with local, regional and national requirements.
This instrument is rated for an altitude of 2000 m (6562 ft) maximum.
Use of this instrument at an altitude higher than 2000 m can slightly
increase the potential for the insulation to breakdown, which can result in
an electric shock hazard. The manufacturer recommends that users with
concerns contact technical support.
Put the instrument in a position that makes it easy to disconnect the
instrument from the power source.
Put the instrument in a position so that the fan ventilation opening on the
left side is not blocked. Do not allow the power cord to contact hot
surfaces on the QC8500 measurement channels.
There are two placement options:
• Put the instrument on top of the QuikChem System Core (Figure 3).
Make sure that the heater controller is on the left side of the system.
• Put the instrument below the peristaltic pump if the space on top of
the QuikChem system is not available. The peristaltic pump is located
on the left side of the QuikChem system.

Prepare the reagent and standards
1. Refer to the QuikChem method for details about the reagent and
standards preparation.
2. Read all system notes.
3. Connect the manifold as shown in the manifold diagram of the
QuikChem method.
Connect the power cord
Items to collect:
• Surge-protected power strip
1. Connect the power cord to the instrument. The power cord must be
rated for the supply voltage and current.
2. Connect the power cord to a power strip.
3. Turn the power strip on.
4. Turn the instrument power switch on.
Start the peristaltic pump
Refer to the pump operation section in the QuikChem user manual for
details on pump tube installation and peristaltic pump operation.
Look for leaks
1. After the manifold is installed and all pump tubes are securely
attached, put all reagent lines in deionized water.
2. Make sure that there are no leaks on the manifold, the injection valve
or the instrument.
