You should recharge the desiccant bag when the area marked<br />
“30” on the paper humidity indicator on the base turns pink.<br />
1. Remove the bag from the <strong>6100CR</strong> as described in the previous<br />
section.<br />
2. Place a sheet of brown paper on a flat metal sheet. You can<br />
use a brown grocery sack and an ordinary cookie sheet.<br />
3. Place the bags on the brown paper. Do not stack the bags<br />
on top of each other, nor allow them to touch.<br />
4. Place the tray in a vented, circulating forced air, convection<br />
oven in a well-ventilated room. Allow two inches of air<br />
space between the top of the bags and the next metal tray<br />
above the bags.<br />
5. Keep the tray a minimum of 16 inches from the heating<br />
element. Heat the bags at a temperature of 240° to 250°F<br />
(116° to 121°C) for 12 to 16 hours.<br />
6. At the end of the time period, remove the bags and place<br />
them immediately in an airtight container for cooling.<br />
7. The desiccant will recharge to 80 – 90% of its previous<br />
capacity. After several recharges, the desiccant bag may<br />
have lost enough capacity to require replacement.<br />
8. Some bags can have the temperature and the recharging<br />
time for the desiccant printed on the bag. If the values<br />
printed on the bag differ from those given above, use the<br />
temperature and time printed on the bag.<br />
Many <strong>Isco</strong> instruments use a new type of memory called a Flash<br />
EPROM. Unlike earlier EPROMs that require UV erasure and<br />
were not easily field-replaced, the Flash EPROM lets you upgrade<br />
the software in the instrument without opening the unit or<br />
returning it to the factory. You can now update the software with<br />
a disk from Teledyne <strong>Isco</strong>, an IBM ® compatible personal computer<br />
and a connect cable.<br />
The disk contains UPDATE, a program specifically for Flash<br />
memory, and a set of software files to update the Flash EPROM.<br />
The disk is labeled with:<br />
• The instrument series number<br />
• The software revision number for each instrument in<br />
the series<br />
• The part number of the disk<br />
This instruction sheet assumes that:<br />
• You know how to run the computer and are familiar<br />
with Microsoft ® Windows ® . UPDATE uses standard<br />
Windows mouse and keyboard commands. If you are not<br />
familiar with Windows, please consult the Windows user<br />
manuals.<br />
