1.3 Setting up

To use the Diluflux dilutor in ideal conditions, it should be placed on a
horizontal, flat and solid surface. The accuracy of the dilutor could be
affected by vibrations or if the weighing cell is inclined. The bottle containing
the diluent must be placed at the same level or below the dilutor to prevent
diluent from continuing flowing after the pump has stopped. The bottle may
be placed on the floor to save room on the working area.
Then proceed as described below:
1. Install the nozzle-holder arm at the back of the unit by screwing it
manually (the 2 screws are already in position).
2. Put the BagOpen bag holder in the middle of the weighing platform.
®
3. Insert the dispensing nozzle in the nozzle-holder slot (please refer to page
5).
Position the tubing by paying attention to the direction of the liquid flow
as indicated on the unit housing.
After stretching the 20 cm pump tubings (between the 2 connectors),
place it in the pump(s) as shown below.
If the tubing is new, stretch it firmly 2 or 3 times before inserting it into
the pump.
4. Slide the tube through the clip on the side of the nozzle-holder.
5. Connect to the power mains and press the "I" button (back of the unit) to
let the power in.
6. Press on the power key on the front keyboard to turn on the Diluflux.
The Diluflux dilutor is now ready to use. However, for optimum precision
of the weighing, allow the weighing cell to reach room temperature for 10
minutes before use.
