Desiccant Replacement
WARNING: Do not remove the sensor housing cap or enclosure lid while the circuits are
energized unless the area is determined to be non-hazardous. Keep the sensor
housing cap and enclosure lid tightly closed during operation.
Each VOC Pro comes with a desiccant bag installed in the junction box. The contents are blue
when it is dry. As the desiccant absorbs moisture, it turns amber. Periodically check the
desiccant and replace it if it has turned amber.
Cleaning the PID Lamp
WARNING: Do not remove the sensor housing cap or enclosure lid while the circuits are
energized unless the area is determined to be non-hazardous. Keep the sensor
housing cap and enclosure lid tightly closed during operation.
CAUTION:
The internal components can be static sensitive. Use caution when opening the
enclosure and handling internal components. DO NOT use any metal objects or
tools to remove the sensor.
Clean the lamp if you notice a significant drop in sensitivity from one scheduled calibration to
another or if you are not able to calibrate the detector.
Since the life of the 11.7 eV lamp is typically only 3 months, cleaning the lamp is not
normally needed. However, if the sensor is exposed to high-molecular-weight VOCs,
silicones, or amines, the lamp should be cleaned.
Cleaning Kit
The cleaning kit for the 10.0 eV and 10.6 eV lamps is different than the cleaning kit for the
11.7 eV lamp. Be sure you are using the correct kit for your sensor.
The lamp cleaning kits include:
•
an electrode stack removal tool
•
a small vial of powder
•
40 cotton swabs
•
10 finger cots
