6.4.5. CLEANING THE REACTION CELL

The reaction cell should be cleaned whenever troubleshooting suggests. A dirty reaction
cell will cause excessive noise, drifting zero or span values, low response or a
combination of all. To clean the reaction cell, remove it from the sensor housing: refer
to Section 7.6.5. for an overview of the entire sensor assembly. Use the following guide
to clean the reaction cell:

1. Turn off the instrument power and vacuum pump. Refer to Figure 6-4 for the

following procedure.

2. Disconnect the black 1/4" exhaust tube and the 1/8” sample and ozone air tubes

from the reaction cell. Disconnect the heater/thermistor cable.

3. Remove four screws holding the reaction cell to the PMT housing and lift the cell

and manifold out as shown in the inset of Figure 6-4.
