MAINTENANCE
15.1
Ordinary maintenance
This instrument was designed and manufactured using top-quality components. Proper and systematic maintenance will prevent the onset
of malfunctions and will increase instrument life altogether.
The following basic requisites are to be respected:
•
Do not expose the instrument to substantial thermal shocks before use. If this happens, wait for the temperature to return to
normal working values.
•
Do not extract flue gas samples directly without using a particulate/water trap.
•
Do not exceed sensor overload thresholds.
•
When the analysis is over disconnect the sample probe and let Si-CA 220 draw fresh air for a few minutes, or at least until the
displayed parameters return to their original values.
•
Clean the filter unit when necessary, replacing the particulate filter and applying a jet of air to the sample probe hose to
eliminate any condensate that may have formed.
Do not clean the instrument with abrasive cleaners, thinners or other similar detergents.
15.2
Preventive maintenance
At least once a year, send the analyser to the SUPPORT CENTRE for careful internal inspection and cleaning.
Highly qualified Sauermann personnel are always available for all types of commercial, technical, operating and maintenance information.
The support centre is always willing to return the instrument to you as if it had only just been manufactured. Adjustments are made to gas
and instrument that comply with National and International Samples defined by standards and regulations.
