5. If the particle filter is installed at the end of the inlet line:
1. Remove the particle filter from the tubing stub.
2. Install the new particle filter onto the tubing stub. Be sure the arrow on the particle filter is
pointing toward the inlet line.
3. Turn on power to the controller.
4. Turn on the controller.
Adjusting the Low Flow Setting
NOTE:
Adjusting the low flow setting will cause a low flow alarm at the sample-draw detector
and a fail alarm at the controller. Be sure to put the controller into its calibration program
or disable external alarms before performing this test.
The factory-set low flow setting is 0.6 SCFH (±0.1). To adjust the low flow setting:
1. Use the sensor flow control valve to set the flow to 0.6 SCFH. Turn the valve’s knob clockwise to
increase the flow and counterclockwise to decrease the flow.
If the sample-draw detector goes into low flow alarm before you can adjust the flow down to 0.6
SCFH, adjust the pressure switch adjustment screw 1/4 turn clockwise, then attempt to set the flow
again. Repeat this step until you are able to adjust the flow to 0.6 SCFH.
NOTE:
The pressure switch adjustment screw is accessible through a circular cutout in the
flowmeter circuit board.
2. Slowly turn the pressure switch adjustment screw counterclockwise just until the sample-draw
detector goes into low flow alarm.
3. Turn the sensor flow control valve’s knob clockwise to increase the flow until the unit is out of low
flow alarm when the reset switch is pressed and released.
4. Decrease the flow very slowly by turning the sensor flow control valve’s knob counterclockwise and
verify that the low flow alarm is 0.6 SCFH (±0.1).
If the low flow alarm is set too high, turn the pressure switch adjustment screw slightly clockwise.
Repeat steps 3 and 4 if necessary.
5. Use the sensor flow control valve to set the flow to 1.0 SCFH.
6. Make sure the sample-draw detector’s Fail LED is off.
