3.0 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
3.1 Operation
The Peltier cell condensation group (Cooler) has the function of cooling the gas sample very quickly to a temper-
ature of 5 º C. The gas condenses the water vapor contained in it and can reach the sensors without significant
changes in its composition.
This system is particularly useful when water-soluble components are to be analyzed (e.g. SO2, NO2, NH3, H2S,
etc.).
Under extreme ambient temperature conditions (+45°C) it is possible that the cooler internal temperature is not
maintained at +5°C but it can tend to shift up to +10°C.
This internal temperature is however sufficient to obtain the drying of the gas; in these conditions it is possible to
lose 10% of the drying efficiency.
For automatic emptying of condensation water, a peristaltic pump is used which is controlled directly by the mi-
croprocessor at alternating on/off intervals to preserve the durability of the neoprene tube, an essential part of the
pump itself.
The duration of the switch on interval is 30 seconds, while the duration of the shutdown interval is 600 seconds
and cannot be changed by the operator.
The tube has an average duration of about 500 hours of continuous operation. To ensure the smooth operation of
the entire system, the rotor of the peristaltic pump (containing the neoprene tube) must be replaced at least every
two years.
3.2 Preliminary operations
Remove the product from the packaging used for shipment and proceed to a first inspection of the device.
Verify the correspondence of the content with what ordered. If you notice tampering or damaging signs, immedi-
ately report the fact to the SEITRON Service Center or its agent, keeping the original packaging.
On the product label there is the serial number of the external cooler.
It is recommended to provide this number for any request for technical assistance, spare parts or
technical information.
Seitron maintains updated at its headquarters an archive with the log of the data of each device.
3.3 Warranty
In the view of a constant development of their products, the manufacturer reserves the right for changing
technical data and features without prior notice.
The consumer is guaranteed against any lack of conformity according to the European Directive 1999/44/EC as
well as to the manufacturer’s document about the warranty policy.
The full text of warranty is available on request from the seller.

6.0 OPERATION
In order to operate the entire system, proceed as follows:
1. Carry out the connections, as shown in chapter 5.0 CONNECTION DIAGRAMS.
2. Switch on the instrument.
3. In case the chosen diagram foresees the use of the external cooler:
- Power the cooler with the supplied cable.
Wait for the green LED on the front to stop flashing.
Once the green LED is still lit it means that the Cooler reached the operative temperature of 5°C, effectively
drying the gas.
The condensate water produced is collected inside a tank that is emptied with using a peristaltic pump.
After the gas has been dried, it passes through a particulate filter which eliminates the dust particles which
are present inside the dry gas; the particulate filter is interchangeable and must be replaced when it
changes its color from white (clean) to black (dirty).

7.0 MAINTENANCE
1Run all connections mentioned in the chapters “5.1 and 5.2 CONNECTION DIAGRAM USING THE
EXTERNAL COOLER ”.
7.1 TIGHTNESS TEST OF THE ENTIRE COOLER SYSTEM
In order to verify the tightness of the whole Cooler system (Cooler=>Smoke sampling probe=>condensation
trap), aiming to exclude pressure leaks because of some damaged or broken parts, do as follows:
2Fully insert the black cap into the tip of the supplied smoke sampling probe, as shown below.
Provided cap
3Power on the external Cooler.
4Power on the analyzer and access the menu “Configuration → Diagnostic → Smoke probe”.
5Start with the smoke probe tightness test, which in this case is considered as the tightness test for the whole
Cooler system.
For more details see the complete instruction manual of the combustion analyzer.
6At the end of the leakage test, the analyzer shall display the test result:
Tight:The whole system is tight.
Error:Check the pneumatic connections, the peristaltic pump tube, the tightness O-ring on the junctions,
the O-ring on the filter holder and in general all the connections that are between the rubber on the
tip of the probe and the input of the analyzer.

1Switch off the instrument and disconnect the power cable from the instrument connector.
4Remove both tubes from the elbow fittings.
2Locate the rotor of the peristaltic pump. 3Pull out the rotor of the peristaltic pump, holding
inward the two plastic fins indicated by the arrows
and at the same time, extract the rotor.
5Pulled out the old rotor, replace it with a new one
doing reverse operations up to here described,
paying attention to the correct insertion of the
tubes that must be crossed.
7.2 PERISTALTIC PUMP ROTOR REPLACEMENT
For the replacement of the peristaltic pump rotor, proceed as follows

16
7.3 FUSES REPLACEMENT
If it is necessary to replace the fuses of the instrument, proceed as follows.
For technical specifications of fuses, see Chapter “2.0 Technical features”.
1Switch off the instrument and disconnect the power cable from the instrument connector.
Locate the fuse holder drawer and pull it out.
2Pull out the fuses, with the help of a screwdriver, taking care not to damage the fuse holder drawer and/or the
fuses.

7.4 MAINTENANCE OF THE PARTICULATE TRAP / FILTER ASSEMBLY
Blackened particulate filter
Replacing the particulate filter
In case the particulate filter is blackened, especially on the outside surface, it becomes necessary the immediate
replacement. So, in this way, any obstruction to the gas flow is avoided.
REPLACE THE PARTICULATE FILTER IF IT IS VISIBLY DIRTY OR HUMID.
DO NOT PERFORM MEASURES WITHOUT THE FILTER OR WITH A DIRTY FILTER IN
ORDER TO AVOID IRREVERSIBLE DAMAGES TO THE SENSORS.
To remove the water trap, just rotate the cover and unhook the filter holder body; remove the internal cup and
then replace the filter (see figure).
Clean all the filter parts using water only, dry the components and reassemble the filter.
