ANKOM RD - Manual (Page 8)

Fuse Replacement- Turn off the power and unplug the instrument.
1. Use a screwdriver to twist (counterclockwise) the gray fuse holder. Remove the holder and
replace the fuse.
2. Push in and twist (clockwise) to install the new fuse.
Filter Replacement-
The RD2 HCl filter should be replaced when the maroon bottom filter media of the filter
degrades or sags below the filter frame.
The effectiveness of the filter can be checked by placing a small beaker of Ammonium
Hydroxide (NH
4
OH) on top of the filter while samples are drying. If white vapor is present
when drying, the filter is no longer working. A strip of pH paper can also be placed on top of
the filter when drying. If the paper turns red (not orange), replace the filter.
Generally, the filter should be replaced every 3-6 months depending on usage.
