Bacharach 50 - Manual

Snifi t Model 50
Carbon Monoxide Analyzer
Introduction
Designed for HVAC professionals and utility person-
nel, the Snifi t Model 50 Analyzer is ideal for measuring
low levels of CO in ambient air such as in rooms and
garages, or around registers, furnaces, stoves, water
heaters, and other types of combustion appliances.
The Snifi t samples the surrounding air and shows the
detected concentration of CO on its Liquid Crystal Dis-
play. The Snifi t is not intended to be used in fl ue gases
or in temperatures exceeding 104 °F (40 °C).

• Sensitive CO sensor will last up to 2 years
• Backlight for viewing in dark areas
• Compact pocket size
• Low battery indication
• Manual zero adjust
• Factory calibrated on 100 ppm CO
• Simple fi eld calibration
• Auto power-off after 35 minutes

Location
3. Push the Calibration Cup over the sensor housing.
4. Attach a CO Span Gas Cylinder to the regulator.
Then apply span gas to the sensor by adjusting the
regulator knob for a fl ow rate of 2 SCFH.
5. Allow span gas to fl ow until the displayed reading
stabilizes – approx. 3 minutes. Then, using Calibra-
tion Tool 0006-9453 (supplied in Calibration Tool /
Cup Kit 0019-3242), turn the Span Adjust poten-
tiometer until the displayed reading matches the
concentration stamped on the Span Gas Cylinder.
6. Calibration is now complete. Turn off the Regulator
and remove the calibration equipment.
Maintenance
Battery Replacement
Remove slotted screw from rear
of instrument; then lift off front
case.
Replace 9V Alkaline battery
(Duracell MN1604 or equiv.) in
location shown in Figure 3; then
reinstall front case.
Sensor Replacement
The sensor needs replaced when
it can no longer be calibrated to the Span Gas Cylinder
value using the Span Adjust potentiometer, or if it no
longer responds to a CO source.
1. See Figure 4. Remove the screw from the rear of the
instrument; then lift off the front case and remove
the printed circuit board assembly.
2. Unplug the old sensor and remove its gasket. Dis-
card both items properly.
3. Inspect the sensor fi lter. Replace the fi lter if it has
become contaminated with dirt.
