6.2.4.1 Sample Intake

The EC155 can be ordered with a factory-installed intake assembly, or with a

Swagelok fitting to attach a user-supplied intake assembly. If the EC155 is

configured with the intake assembly, it is installed at the factory. No further

assembly is required.

If the EC155 is configured with no intake assembly, it has a 1/8 inch Swagelok

fitting at the front end for connection to the user-supplied intake assembly (see

FIGURE 6-4).

6.2.4.2 Pump

In normal mode the EC155 uses a vacuum pump to pull an air sample through

the sample cell. See the discussion on flow and pressure in the previous

section for pump requirements. The CPEC200 pump module (pn 26399-x) is

designed for use with the EC155. Connect the CPEC200 pump module or

user-supplied sample pump to the 3/8 inch Swagelok fitting at the back end of

the analyzer labeled Pump.

6.2.4.3 Zero and Span

The zero-and-span inlet connects to the pump connection passage near the

outlet of the sample cell. During normal operation the zero-and-span inlet

should be plugged, either with a Swagelok 1/4 inch plug, or with a tube

connecting to a closed valve or manifold system such as the CPEC200 valve
