Preliminary operations
Read carefully the instructions and the recommendations of the following
chapter before proceeding.
2.1
Content of the package
The package content may vary depending on the selected configuration.
When you first open the package, check the items with the packing list which is
attached to the shipping.
2.2
Batteries
The standard package contains 4 batteries:
-
N.2 NiMH 14.4 V, 4.5 Ah battery. One is shipped inside the fluxmeter.
One is packed as spare.
-
Accumulation chamber battery.
-
Smartphone battery. The smartphone is shipped in its original box which
contains the battery charger.
Charge all the batteries before continuing.
In order to preserve the battery life:
-
Charge the batteries after each utilization of the fluxmeter.
Do not store the batteries if not fully charged.
-
In case of long periods of inactivity: perform a full charge
of the batteries at least every 3 months.
2.3
Filters and tubes
Connect the chamber to the fluxmeter using the provided black/blue twin tubes.
In some cases the colour of the twin tubes can be white/blue.
The tube connected to the chamber filter (by convention black or white) must
be always connected to the inlet port, as shown in the figure of paragraph 5.6.
Before powering on the fluxmeter, check that the pneumatic connections are
correct. An uncorrect or insufficient fitration could cause a damage to the gas
analysers due to dirt entering in the measuring cells.
-
The tubes inside the fluxmeter are made of clear plastic. Check visually
the presence of traces of dirt inside the tube. If so, replace them.
-
Check that the filter inside the fluxmeter is installed, as first element of
the circuit at the inlet of the case.
-
Check that the filter on the chamber is placed and clean. Replace it in
case it show traces of dirt. The filter has a direction, indicated on the
label, that must be respected.
-
Check that the pair of tubes that connects the chamber to the fluxmeter
is not swapped.
