A. Preparation for Installation

Before installation, engineer has to confirm contents as below:
1) Installation Environment Requirements, Electrical Environment Requirements,
Temperature and Humidity Requirements are all fulfilled. (For this part,
engineer can enquire the customer or check by self)
i. Installation Environment Requirements:

ii. Electrical Environment Requirements

Power supply: AC 220/110V±10%, 50/60Hz, properly grounded.
The BS-400 analyzer should be connected to a properly grounded power socket, its
maximum power consumption is 2kVA. The power socket neutral-to-ground voltage
should less than 5V. If possible, connect the BS-400 analyzer to a power line
specially designed for medical instruments.
iii. Temperature and Humidity Requirement
The BS-400 analyzer is for indoor use only.
The bearing platform (or ground) should be level (gradient less than 1/400).
The bearing platform (or ground) should be able to bear 100Kg weight.
 The installation site should be well ventilated.
The installation site should be dust free.
The installation site should be free from corrosive and flammable gases.
The bearing platform (or ground) should be free from mechanical vibration.
The installation site should be free from large noises and power
interference.
The BS-400 analyzer should not be placed near brush-type motors and
electrical contacts that are frequently turned on/off.
The BS-400 analyzer should not be exposed to direct sunshine or heat
source and wind source.
The above-sea-level height of the site should be lower than 4000 meters.
Store BS-400 analyzer in 0 ℃ ~40 ℃ environment. When the BS-400
analyzer is running, be sure to fix the ambient temperature between 15℃～
30℃ with fluctuation less than ±2℃/H.
The relative humidity should be in range of 35%RH ～ 80%RH and no
condensation.

Caution

i.When used in conditions other than the specified above, the BS-400 analyzer
may not provide reliable test results. If the temperature or relative humidity
does not meet the above-mentioned requirements, be sure to use
air-conditioning equipment.
ii.The BS-400 analyzer radiates heat from its rear side when running. A
well-ventilated environment helps keep the room temperature stable. Use
ventilation equipment if necessary. If so, be sure not to expose the BS-400
analyzer to the direct draft that may lead to unreliable results.
2) PC, monitor and printer are prepared and can be installed BS-400 operation
software and BS-400 debug software at any moment.
Note: Be sure the digital and date format of the Windows are same as them of the English
version Windows.
3) Reagent, calibrator, the tool kit, lubricating grease are prepared.
4) Tools:
a) At least 2 adjustable wrenches(one of them maximum caliber should be larger
thanΦ30 )
b) Φ2.5、Φ3 and Φ4 socket head wrench.
c) 1 unit of multimeter.
d) One Philips screw driver and one slotted screw driver.
e) One paper knife.
B. Beforehand Check:
After step A, engineer needs to go to installation site for beforehand check wok:
a) Check the delivery list for acceptance.
One wooden case for main instrument
One paper box for accessories
One paper box for high concentration tank
Water inlet module and waste outlet module
b) Make one copy of original parameter configuration list as back up. The list needs
to be kept by both engineer and end user carefully.
C. Un-package

Opened

6) Set bottom cover back.

7) Push and pull drawer assembly to make sure nothing blocked and all tubing is in
good condition.
D. Hardware installation
1) Install sample probe.
a) Take out sample probe from the box, remember there’s a little washer included
also. Put the washer into root part of sample probe.

b) Take off the arm cover: Grab the lower parts of the arm cover with two hands and
pull them slightly outwards and remove the cover upward from the arm base.

c) Remove the retaining screw and take away the spring. Remember move the arm
to the highest position for convenient operation.

d) Insert the probe into probe arm.

e) Sleeve the spring over the pole in the probe arm, and screw the retaining screw
back onto the pole.

f) Screw the probe’s fluid connector back to the tubing connector. Note that
excessive force may bend the probe.

g) Insert the connector of the probe lead into corresponding jack on the level
detection board. The probe arm is delicate. Exercise caution when inserting the
 connector. Excessive force may damage the connector and/or the level detection
board.

h) Normal condition should be like this:

i) Then push the probe upward and then release the probe to check if it can move
freely. If not, find the reason and solve the problem.

j) Install arm cover.

 k) Pinch the probe by the part near the probe arm. Gently push the probe upward
and then release the probe to see if it can move freely. If not, remove the arm
cover and re-install it.

2) Install mixing bar

a) Take out mixing bar and knurled part from the box. Rotate the bar arm to the
highest position for convenient operation.

Retaining nut

Knurled part

b) Align the new mixing bar to the bigger hole end of the retaining nut and gently
screw it into the nut until the end of the bar is in line with the smaller hole end of
the nut.
 Inner and outer should
keep the same level

c) Pinch the mixing bar by the knurled part 2 and align the hole of the nut to the axis
on the bar arm, then push the bar upward in the direction of the axis until it can’t
proceed.

1 rotate 2 pinch and keep lifting

d) Tighten the nut by screwing clockwise with the other hand.

 e) Check whether the bar is vertical to the bar arm.
If not, remove the bar and re-install it.
If so, proceed to the next step.
f) Pull the bar arm to its highest point and rotate it to move the bar to a position
above its wash well.
3) Check reagent disc and sample disc are properly installed, 4 fixing screws are
tightly screwed.

4) Add detergent into detergent tank

There are 4 bottles of detergent for installation (1 liter per bottle).
We need to add into 2 detergent tanks, 1 bottle respectively.
