SECTION THREE
SETUP
3.1
SYSTEM SET-UP
This section describes the steps necessary to set up the
Gilibrator 2 Calibration System. This includes initial
setup, mounting the Cell Assembly, connecting the ca-
bling, adding soap solution to wet cell assemblies, and
setting up the sampling source. Figure 3.1 shows how a
complete Gilibrator 2 Calibration System may be con-
figured.
Prior to setup make certain you have properly con-
nected the battery charger to the Charger Jack in the
Control Unit) and to an appropriate AC wall outlet. If
the charger/adapter is properly connected, the Charge
Indicator should light up.
If you plan to use the Gilibrator 2 in the field, make
certain the unit is fully charged (at least 14 hours) be-
fore operating the unit. If you plan to use the unit in
the lab (i.e., near an AC wall outlet), you can continue
with setup and operation immediately.
IMPORTANT COMPATIBILITY NOTE
Most flow cells designed for the original Gilibrator base
are compatible with your new Gilibrator 2 base unit. If
your existing flow cell is not compatible with the Gilibra-
tor 2 base, the unit will display a false SAMPLE# reading
immediately after start-up. If this happens, your flow cell
needs to be returned to Sensidyne to be upgraded. See
Appendix C (page 30) for more information.

CELL ASSEMBLY SET-UP
3.2.1
Cell Assembly Mounting
Refer to Figures 3.2 & 3.3. Perform the following steps
to mount the Cell Assembly.
CAUTION
Always mount or remove the Cell Assembly by grasping
and rotating only the lower part of the assembly.
1)
The Control Unit Base should be positioned on a
flat, level surface.
2)
Select the appropriate Cell Assembly (Piston, Low,
Standard, or High).
3)
Grasp the
lower portion
of the Cell Assembly and
move it to the Mounting Plate on the Control Unit.
4)
With the front of the Cell Assembly facing right
(see Figure 3.2), lower the assembly onto the
Mounting Plate on the Control Unit.
5)
Align the Mounting Pins on the Flow Cell with the
Mounting Slots on the Mounting Plate (see Figure
3.3). If alignment is successful, the bottom of the
Flow Cell should mount flush with the Mounting
Plate.
6)
While grasping
only the lower portion
of the Flow
Cell Assembly, rotate it in a clockwise direction
until it “clicks” into place. The front of the Cell As-
sembly should face toward the display on the
Control Unit.
