Gas sampling and gas conditioning technology 9-1.1-ME
19 CLOSING DOWN
In case of a short time closing down of the the analyser no further precautions are required.
In case of a closing down of the analyser for a longer period, it is recommended to flush the an a-
lyser with dry and clean inert gas (eg. surrounding air) in order to prevent a d amage of the mea-
suring cell by aggressive and corrosive liquid gases.
For analyser with option rechargeable battery it is recommended for short or long term closing
down to remain the analyser at the mains. Hereby a deep discharge of the rechargeable battery
will be avoided and the device always is 100% ready for operation .
20 MAINTENANCE
The analyser, woking with a physical measuring principle, requires no intensive and complex
maintenance. But the preceding components necessary for the sample gas conditioning are to be
maintained with special attention according to the respective operating manuals.
The calibration of zero and span is to be effected with the corresponding test gases according to
stability of the operating conditions and to the demands on the accuracy. Recommended interval
of calibration for standard applications: 1 x per week.

CHECK AND CHANGE OF THE INTERNAL FILTER ELEMENT
The internal fine filter should be checked regularly for contamination and changed if necessary.
For a change the device has to be opened as follows:

Take analyser off the mains.

Loosen front quick-opening screw 1 of the handle.

Loosen corrugated-head screw of the right hinge pin, extract the pin and open the device.

Pull hose 7 off the filter inlet and unscrew filter body (4, 5, 6).

Unscrew filter element clamp 4 and change filter element 5.
