Appendix A: General Maintenance
All combustion analysers use consumable items such filters and probes.
These items are user serviceable and can be taken care of by the operator.
The consumable items that will require operator attention are the water trap
/ filter assembly, flue probe, pump protection filter, and ambient temperature
probe.
The recommended maintenance schedule for your analyzer is as follows:
Water rap Check
Visually check the water trap for:
1. Cracks in the bowl.
2. Broken ears on the bowl where the lid locks on.
3. Broken ears on the lid.
4. Worn out o-ring on the lid.
5. Loose connection to the flue probe tubing.
Filter Check
Signs of dirty or water saturated filters are a slow pump, when the flue
probe is connected, and measurements that take longer than normal.
TPI analyzers use three filters to protect the pump and sensors.
The first filter to check is the A763 mini pump protection filter. (see picture
below)
Strain Relief Spring Inspection Window
A763 Pump Protection Filter
Look in the inspection window to check the filter. When the filter material
becomes dark, pull the black nose cone out of the tubing and replace the
ball filter inside.
11

Appendix A: General Maintenance (continued)
Filter Check Continued
The other two filters are located in the water trap (p/n A796). The main filter
is the A796-F particle filter. This filter stops debris and dust from traveling
down to the analyzer. The secondary filter is the A796-D
whatman lid disc filter. This filter stops flow in the event the water trap fills
with condensate. Refer to the picture below.
Visually inspect the A796-F particle filter. If the filter is discoloured on the
inside or outside a replacement filter should be installed.
If the A796-F is clean but saturated with water a replacement should be
installed to ensure proper flow. The saturated filter can be left to dry and
reused later.
Pump Operation Check
1. Turn the analyser on as outlined on page 5 and connect to the TPI View
app. Do not connect anything to the inlet. Turn the pump on by tapping
“Start Pump” prior to proceeding to step 2.
2. Cover the analyser inlet with your finger. The analyser pump should draw
down and begin to slow.
If the analyser pump does not draw down and slow this may be an
indication the pump is faulty, or there is an internal leak. The analyser
should be returned for factory service.

Appendix A: General Maintenance (continued)
Flue Probe Integrity Check
NOTE: Perform this check after performing the Pump Operation Check
outlined on the previous page.
1. Turn the analyser on as outlined on page 5 and connect to the TPI View
app. Do not connect anything to the inlet. Turn the pump on by tapping
“Start Pump” prior to proceeding to step 2.
2. Connect the A763 mini pump protection filter and flue probe assembly to
the inlet of the analyser and the yellow thermocouple connector to input T1.
3. Look at the displayed temperature for T1 on the app. If the displayed
temperature is approximately the ambient temperature the thermocouple is
operating properly and you may proceed to the next step to continue the
test. If the displayed temperature is “No Temp Probe” the thermocouple is
open and the probe is in need of factory service.
4. Cover the end of the flue probe with a small piece of tube and pinch the
end close. After a short period of time the analyser pump should draw down
and begin to labour. If this happens the flue probe is operating properly and
the integrity test is complete. If the analyser pump does not draw down and
labour this is an indication of a possible leak somewhere in the flue probe
and you may proceed to the next step for further tests.
5. Pinch the hose below the handle of the flue probe. If the analyser pump
draws down and labours there is a leak in the handle assembly and the
probe needs to be factory serviced. If the analyser pump does not draw
down and labour proceed to the next step for further tests.
6. Pinch the hose between the analyser and the water trap. If the pump
does not slow down and labour there may be an internal leak, pump
problem, or other issue and the analyser needs to be factory serviced. If the
pump does slow down and labour there is a leak in the water trap assembly
and the water trap assembly should be checked as outlined on page 12.
