2.0 Installation and Start Up
Before the unit can be operated on the battery, the battery should be charged completely. The battery charger
should be connected to the cannon plug labeled “Charger Power In 12VDC”, on the side of the unit, and
plugged into a 120VAC receptacle. The unit power switch should be in the “OFF” position during charging.
The charger indicator will signal when the battery is fully charged by illuminating the Green LED on the
charger. Although it should be possible to operate the unit with the battery charger ‘plugged in’, it is advised
to charge the battery only when the unit is not operating. When the battery is fully charged remove the battery
charger from the unit.
Connect the gas sample to the “Process Sample Inlet Port” located on the side of the unit (Figure 4). Make
sure that the 3-way valve is set to “Sample”. Set the input gas sample to 5-10psig on the pressure gauge, and
set the flow rate to 500cc/min. using the flow valve on the Rotameter. If applicable connect tubing to the Vent
Port and vent the sample to a safe location.
NOTE: Maximum input pressure is 10pisg.
NOTE: The sample should be vented to a safe place at pressures of atmosphere ±1Psig.
NOTE: The unit must be placed in an upright position for the Rotameter to provide an
accurate reading. Laying the unit down, or leaning the unit back will cause an inaccurate
reading of gas flow and can cause the unit to operate inefficiently.
Upon completion of all gas connections apply system power and observe the following normal condition:
A temporary upscale reading will occur as the sensor powers up. This upscale reading should clear to the
sample level with-in approximately 5 minutes of turn-on.
NOTE: If the display contrast needs adjustment, refer to section 7.2 Display Contrast Adjust.
