11. MAINTENANCE

11.1 Emptying and Cleaning the In-line Water Trap

The water trap should be checked and emptied on a regular basis. Water vapour will
condense and gather in the probe line this may move suddenly to the trap when the
probe is moved. Care should be taken at all time.

Emptying of the water trap is detailed below :-

Carefully remove the end cap from the in-line housing. Dispose of the condensate in a
suitable drain, care must be taken as it could be acidic. If condensate spills onto the
skin or clothing, clean off immediately using fresh water, seek medical advice if
problems occur.

11.2 Changing the Particle Filter

This is a very important part of the analyser and should be changed regularly. It
prevents dust and dirty particles entering the pump and sensors and hence causing
damage. The filter MUST be changed when it appears discoloured.











Remove the end cap from the filter housing. Carefully remove the paper filter element
and dispose of it. Clean the inside of the filter housing with a suitable soft cloth. Insert
a new filter element onto the spigot on the filter end cap and carefully insert it into the
filter body.
