BLOWBACK FEATURE
The blowback feature blows instrument air back through the center of the
internal filter and out the sample tube of the probe. This removes built up dirt
and particulate from the internal filter, sample line and any optional in-situ filter
on the end of the sample tube. The blowback feature is normally used in
systems that have heavy particulate in the process stream.
The blowback feature requires the optional blowback hardware to be properly
installed external to the OCX 8800. See Section 2, Pneumatic Installation, for
details.
An OCX 8800 shipped from the factory must be configured before blowback
can be implemented. This same process must be performed any time a
replacement card stack is installed.
