lead to consequential damage, the Analyzer must be checked for correct operation and
calibration at intervals appropriate to the criticality of the situation.

made to ensure that the information contained in this manual is accurate and complete. PP

Condensation Risk
If condensation occurs in the analysis sample line, free water may enter the analyzer causing
serious damage which will result in a very expensive repair. Therefore, it is critical that you
periodically inspect the pipeline to be sure that condensed water does not enter the analyzer.
If the EGM-4 is supplied on its own, we do NOT supply any external filters.
If the EGM-4
is used in conditions where there is risk of condensation or water in the sample line, (i.e.
when used with the SRC-1, CPY-2, CPY-4 or CPY-3 chambers for measurement of
soil/canopy assimilation, we strongly recommend fitting our hydrophobic filter to the “Gas In”
port as shown below. Our hydrophobic filter assembly (Part No. 10045-1) is supplied with all
SRC-1’s, CPY-2’s, CPY-4’s and CPY-3’s. All EGM-4 customers can purchase this filter from
PP Systems (Part No. 10045-1) at any time if required. In addition, when this filter is used, it
must be checked regularly and replaced as when dirty or wet. Otherwise, blockage can
occur.
