The RS-232 protocol allows some flexibility in its implementation. 

Table 3-6 lists certain RS-232 values that are required by the Model 
2120XL implementation.

CAUTION: 

THIS INSTRUMENT IS NOT DESIGNED TO HANDLE 
HAZARDOUS GASES.  

OZONE EMISSIONS CAN OCCUR IF AIR OR 
MOISTURE ARE IONIZED IN THE SAMPLING 
SYSTEM. THE SAMPLE PATH MUST BE 
RELATIVELY FREE OF AIR AND/OR MOISTURE 
BEFORE APPLYING THE IONIZING VOLTAGE. 
 
KEEP THE MODEL 2120XL POWER OFF AND PURGE 
THE EXTERNAL TUBING. THEN APPLY POWER  TO 
PURGE THE INTERNAL LINES. ANALYZER POWER 
IS NEEDED TO PURGE ANALYZER SINCE THE 
FLOW CONTROL MODULE NEEDS POWER TO 
OPERATE. MAKE SURE THAT THE VENT IS AT 
ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE.
