  • Page 10: Gas Path Diagram

    4. Gas Path Diagram Response Time After inserting the probe into the sample gas, there is a short delay before correct measurement values are dis- played. This is necessary for the gas to pass through the sampling system and build up a stable electrochemical reac- tion at the sensors.

  • Page 11: Power Supply

    5. Power Supply The J2KN Pro base unit has an internal power supply, and it is recommended to always run the unit on AC power. For testing locations where an AC plug-in is not available, the instrument can be operated from 6-8 hours on battery power when fully charged.

    11. Draft/Pressure A trend indication for the draft conditions in the exhaust channel is displayed in the Gas Analysis screen. Note that the pressure sensor tends to drift because of its sensitivity, and it is necessary to calibrate the sensor immediately before sam- pling to get an accurate measurement.

    Set the Pitot factor for flow rate calculation. If the flow rate calculation is not needed, set Pitot factor to 0. If you are using a standard ECOM probe, set this to 0.93. (For more information on the flow measurement option, see 17. Flow Measurement with Pitot Tube.)

  • Page 24: Control

    13. Control The electrochemical sensors change their output values over time based on frequency of use. The J2KN-Pro is pro- grammed to monitor the sensors and correct drifts. If the drifts and the correlated measurement errors increase, an er- ror message is displayed and it is time to change the sensor. The control menu displays the status of the sensors, batter- ies, radio quality, error count, number of times the J2KN-Pro has started up, and other analyzer information.

  • Page 25: Maintenance Tips

    14. Maintenance Tips Only use sensors, filters, and filter media provided by ECOM. Do not use desiccant! 14.1 Filters Particulate filter (water trap filter) Unscrew the cover of the water trap and check the particu- late filter for greyness. Change it once the filter has a dark- ness of 4-5 on the soot chart scale.

  • Page 26: Filters

    14.1 Filters (continued) Ventilation filter The ventilation filter should be changed if the filter has a darkness of 2-3 on the soot chart scale. Use a screwdriver to pry open the filter holder from the slots on each side. Change the filter cartridge and refasten the filter holder.

    14.3 Sensors (continued) The CO sensor is protected from exposure to high con- centrations by the automatic CO bypass pump. If the limit value of 4000 ppm is exceeded, a second pump switches on and purges the sensor with fresh air. 14.4 Printer Paper To change the printer paper, please follow these steps: 1.

  • Page 35: How To Calibrate Sensors

    16. How to Calibrate Sensors For best results, the calibration gas concentration should be as close to the expected levels of emissions as possible. Because each sensor is linear through a nominal range, one calibration gas concentration can be used for a reasonably wide range of emission levels.
