6. MAINTENANCE
6.1 Emptying and Cleaning the In-line Water Trap
The in-line water trap should be checked and emptied on a regular basis. Water
vapor will condense and gather in the probe line. This may move suddenly to
the trap when the probe is moved. Care should be taken at all times.
Emptying of the water trap is detailed below :-
Water level indicator (do not exceed level while trap is vertical)
Carefully remove the end cap from the in-line housing. Dispose of the
condensate in a suitable drain. Clean the inside of the water trap using a soft
cloth
6.2 Changing the Particle Filter
This is a very important part of the analyzer and should be changed regularly. It
prevents dust and dirty particles entering the pump and sensors and hence
causing damage. The filter MUST be changed when it is discolored.
Remove the end cap from the in-line filter housing. Carefully remove the paper
filter element and dispose of it. Clean the inside of the filter housing with a
suitable soft cloth. Insert a new filter element onto the spigot in the filter housing
and carefully replace the end cap.
IF THE FILTER IS NOT CHANGED REGULARLY DAMAGE WILL OCCUR TO
THE SENSORS RESULTING IN A CHARGEABLE SERVICE. IT IS EVIDENT
