2.5 Emptying and Cleaning the In-Line Water Trap
The integral water trap should be checked and emptied on a regular
basis. Water vapour will condense in the probe line, which may cause
the water trap to fill suddenly if the probe is moved. Care should be taken
at all times.
Carefully unscrew the plug from the bottom of the
water trap housing. Dispose of the condensate in a
suitable drain, care must be taken as it could be
acidic. If condensate spills onto the skin or clothing,
clean off immediately using fresh water, seek
medical advice if problems occur. Ensure plug is
replaced before performing combustion tests.
NOTE: CO

reading will be low if the Water Trap Plug is not in place.
2.6 Changing the Particle Filter
This is a very important part of the analyser and should be changed
regularly. It prevents dust and dirt particles from entering the pump and
sensors that will cause damage. The filter MUST be changed when it
appears discoloured.
Remove water-trap assembly from the analyser as
shown above. Remove the filter and plastic holder
from the housing. Discard the filter element but keep
the holder to fit to the new filter. Clean the inside of
the filter housing with a suitable soft cloth. Fit the
holder onto the new filter element and then insert into
the housing. Refit the housing onto the analyser.
2.7 Batteries Replacement
This meter has been designed for use with alkaline
batteries. No other types are recommended. The
analyser is supplied with 4 “AA” size alkaline batteries.
These should be installed into the instrument as shown
in the diagram to the right and indicated on the back of
the unit.
