Installation Qualification
Installation of AquaLab includes placing the instrument on a level surface in a location where the
temperature remains fairly stable. This location should be well away from air conditioner and heater
vents, open windows, outside doors, or other items that may cause rapid temperature fluctuation.
After finding a good location for your AquaLab, plug the power cord to the back of the unit and a
standard AC outlet. The ON/OFF switch is located on the lower right corner of the AquaLab’s back
panel.

Operational Qualification
AquaLab’s operation and performance is verified by measuring specially prepared salt solutions
that have a specific molality and water activity. In order to provide the most accurate readings, your
AquaLab should ideally be allowed a warm-up period of at least 15 minutes after turning it on.
Performance Verification Standards come in four water activity levels: 0.250, 0.500, 0.760, and
0.984aw. AquaLab will read each salt solution within ±0.003aw of the stated value.
