Use the HIGH FLOW setting when a hose and probe is attached. The higher flow rate helps to overcome the resistance of the hose and probe to maintain an adequate flow of air into the instrument. - Page 31 After the sampling rate has been selected, the logger START method must be selected: “STARTUP” or “SET TIME”. STARTUP Logging will start when the YESAIR is turned on and ACTIVATE has been selected from the DATALOG menu SET TIME User can set the time and date to start logging.

Page 35: Requirements & Cautions
Ensure the cylinder regulator has a minimum flow rate of 0.3 LPM to a maximum of 1.0 LPM. The pump inside the YESAIR must not be “drawn down” because of a low flow rate from a cylinder regulator. The result will be inaccurate calibration values. - Page 36 Attach the cylinder flow regulator to the cylinder of 100% Nitrogen. Attach the end of the calibration tubing into the regulator. Open the valve fully and attach the brass fitting of the calibration tubing included with the YESAIR onto the inlet fitting on the top of the YESAIR.
