Attach a flowmeter to the sample valve.
2)
From the Analyzer Operation
screen, click
Diagnostics
.
3)
Select the
Manual Operation
tab.
4)
Under Manual Control, open the sample shutoff valve.
5)
When opened, the SV should measure a spike to 15 sccm. Close the valve when
done reading.
6)
If the SV does not spike to 15 sccm, the test has failed.
7)
Return to troubleshooting instructions.
6.4.2
Column Vent Pressure Test
6.4.2.1
Instructions
1)
Attach a flowmeter to CV1.
2)
From the Analyzer Operation screen, click
Diagnostics
.
3)
Select the
Manual Operation
tab.
4)
Under Manual Control, open the stream 1 valve.
5)
When opened, the CV1 should measure between 3–12 sccm. Close the valve
when done reading.
6)
If the CV1 measures within this range, continue to the next step. If CV1 does not
measure within the range, the test has failed. Return to troubleshooting alarm
instructions.
7)
Attach flowmeter to CV2.
8)
Open the stream 1 valve.
9)
When opened, CV2 should measure between 3–12 sccm. Close the valve when
done reading.
10)
If CV2 does not measure within this range, the test has failed. Return to

Place unit in Hold.
2)
From the Analyzer Operation screen, click
Diagnostics

Read the sample pressure from the current reading.
5)
Under Manual Control, open the stream 1 valve or the stream reflecting alarm.
6)
Under Manual Control, close the sample shutoff valve.
7)
The sample pressure reading under Current should increase.
8)
Under Manual Control, open the sample shutoff valve.
9)
The sample pressure reading under Current should decrease rapidly.
10)
If the pressure decreases slowly, close the sample shutoff valve and return to the
