Measurement without SO

2

 Option 

This section describes the measurement sequence for the 973 without the SO

2

 option. Please 

refer to page 21 for the equivalent procedure for instruments equipped with the SO

2

 option. 

 
If you intend to collect the measurement data automatically, please install the Excel Protocol 
sheet, as described on page 25, before the start of the measurement. 

 

As soon as the 973 is connected to the gas compartment, 
the current vessel pressure is indicated. The standard con-
figuration for the pressure unit is kPa absolute. The input 
pressure range is 120…1’000 kPa abs. 

When the instrument is switched on, the standard measur-
ing mode with 

Humidity Measurement

% Volume SF6 

Measurement

 and 

Pump Back After Measurement

 is ac-

tivated. 

 

Press the 

Start

 button. The 

Start

 button and the 

Pump

 but-

ton turn green. Because the SO

2

 measurement is disabled, 

an 

X

 appears next to 

SO2

. The pump starts and the humidi-

ty clock, located next to the 

Start

 button, begins to spin. 

During the measurement, SF

6

 gas flows from the gas 

compartment, through the hose, through the measuring 
head, and into the internal storage cylinder. The internal 
cylinder trend arrows and level indicator show the rising 
pressure in the internal storage cylinder. 

 

After completion of the humidity measurement, the spinning 
clock stops. Both the measured Frost/Dew Point and the 
humidity content in ppm

v

 are displayed.  

Then the % Volume SF

6

 measurement starts and the 

corresponding clock begins to spin. 

The internal cylinder trend arrows and level indicator show 
the rising pressure in the internal storage cylinder.
