    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.

  • Page 34 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.
