Warnings
Read this manual carefully before using: this manual should be read by anyone who will
be operating the F-900. By following the guidelines, the F-900 will function according to
the specifications in this instruction manual.
All repairs should be performed by a Felix Instruments technician.
The analyzer must be used to measure the rate of ethylene in the presence of nitrogen,
oxygen and carbon dioxide. All other gases in high concentration could lead to
erroneous measurements, or the destruction of the sensor. Do not use the instrument in
the presence high concentrations of aromatic solvents, hydrocarbons or other volatile
organic compounds, such as in unventilated painting rooms or chemical storage rooms.
Damage to the analyzer can occur if the fluid reservoir level is too low or if the inlet and
outlet gas connections are blocked while the pump operates. This can cause false
readings or irreparable damage to the sensor.
Use a T-valve when connecting the F-900 to a standard gas tank
If smoke comes out of the analyzer, turn off the power immediately and contact Felix
Instruments-Applied Food Science.
Keep the analyzer in a clean and ventilated room at ambient temperature.
Do not allow fluid to aspirate in the analyzer, which can destroy the sensors.
Do not use the F-900 in a high RF (radio frequency) environment. High RF will disrupt
the F-900.
ESD (electrostatic discharge) interferes with the F-900 measurement data.
Do not tilt the F-900 when Chamber IN contains water
Do not fill Chamber IN beyond max fill line
Do not use KMn04
‘dust’. Only the ‘bead’ format is suitable for Chamber IN.
WARNING: Do not store the F-900 without charged batteries! The internal batteries
must have charge to maintain the accuracy of the sensors, even when the unit is
powered off. It is recommended to keep the instrument connected to the power
supply for long term storage.
