<strong>6100CR</strong> <strong>Refrigerated</strong> <strong>Sampler</strong><br />

4. Reassemble the unit in reverse order.<br />

Desiccant Bags<br />

Updates<br />

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 />
