Important Tips The Ecom-B is not suitable for continuous emis- sions testing. Please allow at least 10 minutes of fresh air purging for each hour of testing. In order to get correct measurement values: -allow 1 min for auto-zero in fresh air -allow at least 2 mins.

13. Maintenance Tips To secure the accuracy of your analyzer, we recommend an annual check by an authorized ECOM service center. In the case of heavy usage (e.g. several hours of measurement per day, rough conditions etc.) service should be done more frequently. All ECOM service cen- ters can be found at www.rbr.de.

>7000 mV, otherwise it must be changed by an authorized service center. The CO sensor is protected against over-saturation by an internal program. If the limit value of 4000 ppm is exceeded, a second pump switches on and floods the sensor with fresh air. Page 30 ECOM-D...

You must check for air leaks before calibrating. Apply a gas with 0% O2 to check for air leaks (ECOM service dept. uses NO gas balanced in N2). Flow calibration gas for 3 minutes. Check that O2 reading is 0.0%. If it is reading other than 0.0 %, turn off gas and troubleshoot the source of air leak.
