Power Instrument On and Off

  Do not power off the analyzer while initialization is in progress. Doing so may damage the instrument.
  It is important that a constant temperature be maintained inside the unit because a change in temperature could alter analysis results. We recommend that the pycnometer remain powered on at all times to maintain thermal stability.

When the analyzer is powered on, after a few seconds, the system vents automatically and the green indicator light on the front panel illuminates. Allow approximately 30 minutes for the analyzer to warm before performing analyses. For analyses that require very precise results, allow the analyzer to warm a minimum of two hours. If running the analyzer with a computer:
