7.0 USING THE FLUE GAS ANALYZER
7.1
Preliminary operations
Remove the instrument from its packing and check it for damage. Make sure that the content corresponds to the
items ordered. If signs of tampering or damage are noticed, notify the Seitron Americas service center or agent
immediately and keep the original packing. A label at the rear of the analyzer bears the serial number. This serial
number should always be stated when requesting technical assistance, spare parts or clarification on the product
or its use. Seitron Americas maintains an updated database for each and every instrument.
Before using for the first time we recommend you charge the batteries completely.
7.2
WARNING
Use the instrument with an ambient temperature between 73 and 113°F (-5 and +45°C).
Do not extract flue gas samples directly without using a particulate/water trap.
Do not use the instrument if the filters are clogged or damp.
Do not exceed sensor overload thresholds.
When it has finished being used, before turning the instrument off remove the probe and let is aspirate ambient
clean air for at least 30 seconds to purge the pneumatic path from all traces of gas.
Before putting the measuring probe back in its case after use, make sure it is has cooled down enough and
there is no condensate in the tube. It might be necessary to periodically disconnect the filter and the
condensate separator and blow compressed air inside the tube to eliminate all residues.
Remember to have the instrument checked and calibrated once a year in order to comply with the existing
standards.
7.3 Analyzer power supply
The instrument contains a high-capacity Li-Ion rechargeable battery.
The battery powers up the instrument and any other probes or remote devices that may be connected. The
instrument runs for approximately 8 hours if the printer is not used and with display brightness at 50%. Should the
battery be too low to effect the necessary measurements, the instrument can be hooked up to the mains via the
power pack provided, allowing operations (and analysis) to proceed.
The battery will be recharged whilst the instrument is being used.
The battery charging cycle takes up to 8 hours for a complete charge and finishes automatically.
ATTENTION: If the instrument is not going to be used for a long time (for example summertime) we
suggest recharging it completely at least once every 4 months.
7.3.1 Internal battery charge level
The display constantly shows the internal battery charge level shown with the symbol in the upper left corner of the display.
IF THE INSTRUMENT HAS BEEN KEPT AT VERY LOW TEMPERATURES (BELOW
OPERATING TEMPERATURES) WE SUGGEST WAITING A WHILE (1 HOUR) BEFORE
SWITCHING IT ON TO HELP THE SYSTEM’S THERMAL BALANCE AND TO PREVENT
CONDENSATE FORMING IN THE PNEUMATIC CIRCUIT.
