  • Page 35 Signs of dirty or water saturated filters are a slow pump, flow error displayed when the flue probe is connected, and measurements that take longer than normal. TPI analysers use three filters to protect the pump and sensors. The first filter to check is the A763 mini pump protection filter. (see picture below)
  • Page 36 Appendix A: General Maintenance (continued) Filter Check Continued The other two filters are located in the water trap. The main filter is the A796-F particle filter. This filter stops debris and dust from traveling down to the analyser. The secondary filter is the A794-D water block filter. This filter stops flow in the event the water trap fills with condensate.
  • Page 37 Appendix A: General Maintenance (continued) Flue Probe Integrity Check NOTE: Perform this check AFTER performing the Pump Operation Check outlined on the previous page. 1. Turn the analyser on as outlined on page 9. Wait until the analyser has completed the initial purge and sensor check and is operating normally prior to proceeding to step 2.
