7.2 Attaching the air sample inlet line

The instrument is supplied with several meters of special sample line tubing. This is made from
static-dissipative polymers to minimize particle losses. Keep the sampling line as short as
possible and do not substitute any material (other than metal tubing) for the special static-
dissipative tubing (PN M4997). Be especially certain to never use Teflon tubing for any portion
of the sample inlet line.
When installing the sample inlet line, avoid sharp bends. Insulate any sample inlet tubing from
