The instrument air connections must always be made through the attached flame arrestors.
The Air Treater must be firmly mounted to the wall, the floor, or a rack on which the analyzer
is mounted. Install the Air Treater so that it cannot be damaged during normal maintenance
operations.

Power requirements
115 or 230 VAC, 50 watts
Installation
Panel, rack, or wall mounted near the analyzer
Construction
300 Series Stainless Steel in contact with the treated air. Mounted in an explosion proof aluminum
enclosure
Input air quality
● Meet or exceed ISO8573-4 (Class 3) requirements.
● Maximum total hydrocarbon content less than 1 ppm and
● Dew point -20°C (-4°F)
Input air flow
● 250 to 1500 ml/min (depending on requirements)
Input pressure
34 to 1034 kPa (5 to 150 psig), depending on flow rate desired
Warm-up time
Approximately 90 minutes
Treated air purity
Up to 95% of the trace hydrocarbons typically found in instrument quality air are removed by the
air treater
Catalyst life
Catalyst is not consumed as part of the air treatment so the life is indefinite. However the catalyst
can be poisoned when exposed to sulfur compounds.
Safety
● CSA certified for use in Class I, Division 1, Groups B, C, D Hazardous Locations for US and
Canada
