5. Check for possible damage during shipment.
6. Check that all connectors and circuit boards are firmly attached.
7. Re-install the cover.
8. Remove any protective plastic material from the case exterior.
Use the following procedure to setup the instrument.
1. Connect the sample line to the SAMPLE bulkhead on the rear panel
Ensure that the sample line is not contaminated by dirty, wet, or
incompatible materials. All tubing should be constructed of FEP
Teflon®, 316 stainless steel, borosilicate glass, or similar tubing with an
OD of 1/4-inch and a minimum ID of 1/8-inch. The length of the
tubing should be less than 10 feet.
Note Gas must be delivered to the instrument free of particulates. It may
be necessary to use the Teflon particulate filter as described in "Teflon
Particulate Filter" on page
If the sample may contain particulates larger than 5 microns, it should be
filtered before introducing it to the instrument. Use a filter (such as Teflon)
that does not interact with SO
calibrations and span checks must be performed through the filter. The
filter element should be replaced regularly to prevent the absorption of SO
by trapped material on the filter.
Note Gas must be delivered to the instrument at atmospheric pressure. It
may be necessary to use an atmospheric bypass plumbing arrangement as
shown in Figure 2–4 if gas pressure is greater than atmospheric pressure.
2. Connect the EXHAUST bulkhead to a suitable vent. The exhaust line
should be 1/4-inch OD with a minimum ID of 1/8-inch. The length of
the exhaust line should be less than 10 feet. Verify that there is no
restriction in this line.
3. Connect a suitable recording device to the rear panel connector. For
detailed information about connecting to the instrument, refer to:
