5. To clean the tube press the “Purge”-button for approx. 4 seconds.
6. After letting off the finger, the measurement immediately starts. The final value of the
measurement is reached when there are no further changes of the displayed value.
The SF
6
-Aciditor needs less than 2 minutes to reach the final value. The SF
6
-Aciditor
works at ambient pressure and is temperature compensated up to 60 °C.
7. After measuring a SO
2
content over zero the sensor has to be purged. Please look at
chapter 6.4.
8. Disconnect the SF
6
-Aciditor from the SF
6
-filled compartment.
9. Disconnect the connected sampling bag or recycling system from the “Gas Outlet” on
the back of the SF
6
-Aciditor (optional).
10.
Assure that the hose has been
disconnected. Turn off the SF
6
-Aciditor by
pressing the “Power”-switch on the front
panel. For a longer lifetime of the sensor
ambient air will be pumped through the
sensor for 10 seconds. The sensor needs
some residual humidity to extend its
lifetime. Therefore ambient air is
automatically pumped through the sensor
to store it with some humidity.
Information!
The SF
6
-Aciditor has an internal flow rate regulation. Independently from the
compartment pressure the SF
6
-Aciditor measures at ambient pressure with a
flow of
20 L/h
. Allowed inlet pressure:
0.5 to 35 bar
.
Information!
Using a recycling system or sampling bag closely watch the filling status
of it !!
The SF
6
-Aciditor
has no automatic turn off or any other safety
system
in case of an overpressure inside the device because of a filled
sampling bag or recycling system.
Information!
Before turning of the SF
6
-Aciditor the hose has to be disconnected. Otherwise
SF
6
instead of air will be pumped through the sensor and the lifetime of the
sensor will decrease.
