IMT Analytics AG

Careful  servicing  in compliance with  the instructions is essential for ensuring  that 
CITREX H3 operates safely and efficiently. Only components recommended by the 
manufacturer may be used.

It is absolutely essential to comply with the guidelines and servicing 
instructions issued by the various manufacturers.

The servicing operations listed below may only be performed by 
persons who are familiar with CITREX H3. All further repair work may 
only be performed by authorised trained professionals. Please also 
observe the information issued by the various manufacturers.

To ensure that your device operates with precision and reliability for as long as possi-
ble, it is essential to perform the following servicing routines regularly.

10.1.1  During operation

Use of the filter included in order to protect the device against contamination. Make 
sure the device is only used inside a building.

10.1.2  Every 4 weeks

Check the bacterial filter for soiling. For this purpose the pressure drop above the filter 
must be measured. The pressure drop must not exceed a value of 2 mbar at a flow 
of 60 L/min. Otherwise the filter must be replaced.

10.1.3  Every 12 months

Factory calibration and servicing to ensure reliable measurement; it may only be per-
formed by IMT Analytics or an authorised partner. 

To have CITREX H3 calibrated at the manufacturer's, IMT Analytics, visit the website
