5 RECOMMENDATIONS
The analyzer should be used in environments where the temperature is between -5°C and +45°C.
When the analysis are completed, before switch the instrument off, remove the probe from the gas pathway and wait
about 30 seconds cleaning the pneumatic circuit from gas.
Do not use the analyzer with clogged filters or filled with humidity.
Before placing the probe in the case, be sure that the probe, the water trap and the hose are clean and cold.
If you have ordered a double hose sampling probe, insert both connectors to the instrument during the gas analysis
(pay attention to color correspondence).
To empty the water trap from the condensate water, remove the draining plug. DO NOT OPEN the water trap. DO
NOT leave the water trap without the draining rubber plug.
For the best efficiency and accuracy, we suggest to calibrate the instrument every year.
