Keypad Assignments
All of the functions of the MGA6000 are controlled from the keypad. The functions of each button are as
follows:
0 – 9 are used to enter numeric data that
can vary with each page.
“.” is used to enter a decimal point where
necessary for data entry.
Enter is used when entering numeric data
from the keypad or initiating automatic
functions.
Ï and Ð are used to navigate through the
menu options or scroll through data on a
specific page.
Esc is the escape key. This clears any entered text, and if continuously pressed toggles between the main
page and the menu list.
On some screens, This button is used to change a selection or view additional data.
Analyzer Start-Up Procedure
Turn the power switch ON and allow the instrument to warm up for at least three minutes. During this time,
the gas values on the screen will show “********”. While the instrument is warming up, the user will be
prevented from accessing the calibration screens since the sensors have not had enough time to provide
accurate data. It is recommended that the instrument is powered on for at least five minutes prior to use,
although measurements can be taken within only three.
Sampling Criteria
Accurate readings are only possible if the sample is taken from a clean (free of excess carbon buildup)
sample port. The current state-of-the-art technology associated with infrared gas detection requires that a
clean, soot free sample be available for analysis. This will also increase the life of the filter elements, and
reduce the possibility that soot will enter the unit and contaminate the sensors.
On a furnace, the ideal port would be found on SSi’s Sample Port (Part Number 20264). This sample port
contains a high-temperature filter that contains the same element that is in the filter on the side of the
analyzer. This filter will not only prevent contaminants from entering the analyzer, but since the filter is at
the furnace it will also protect the sample lines from the furnace to the analyzer.
