3. Remove the sample line inlet and replace with the T640 leak check kit
(084910000) or equivalent fitting with filter.
4. Within a few minutes, the PM values should be at zero; note the following:
PM values remaining below 0.2ug/m3 indicate that there are no leaks.
PM values remaining steady above 0.2ug/m3 indicate a possible leak in
the sample line, above the optical sensor.
o
Check o-rings and proper installation of couplers and tubing.
o
It is also possible the HEPA filter being used is either bad or leaking.
Always have a second filter handy to check.
5. When satisfied that the readings are stable and the condition has been
determined, remove the HEPA filter from the sample line, replace the sample
inlet, and then press “Stop” on the Leak Check screen.
TROUBLESHOOTING AND SERVICE
This section provides guidance for resolving fault conditions and possible flow and
calibration problems.
FAULT DIAGNOSIS
The Alerts log may be useful in diagnosing faults. Table 5-2 lists some of the Alerts
that are triggered by faults, describes their likely causes, and provides possible
solutions.
