  • Page 2 1. UNPACKING Unpack the instrument carefully and inspect it for any visible signs of damage. The Model 60 includes the following: One Model 60 carbon monoxide analyzer. One stack probe equipped with a desiccant filled water trap and disposable filter. One battery charger.
  • Page 3: Operating Principles

    excellent monitor against build up of carbon monoxide gas. A dual audiovisual alarm warns people when concentrations excced a preset limit. iii. DUAL PURPOSE METER When a hose is connected to the analyzer input, the instrument can pull gas samples from any closed or difficult to get compartment. If the analyzer is switched to its cycling mode, the instrument can "simultaneously"...
  • Page 4: Operating Controls

    the display will still indicate overrange for a few minutes depending on the concentration of CO gas and duration of exposure. Once the excess CO has been consumed by the sensor, the display will give normal readings. The sensor will be not be permanently damaged by high concentrations of CO.
  • Page 5: Buzzer Switch

    When the switch is in the uppermost position the pump will run continuously and gas flow takes place from the stack input toward the diffusion port. When the switch is in the bottom position, the pump is not operating and the gas enters the sensor housing only from the diffusion input.
  • Page 6: Output Jack

    the range switch set in its upper (20K PPM) position. For accurate low concventration readings set the range switch to the lower (2K PPM) position. NOTE: We strongly recommend that the analyzer not be exposed to concentrations exceeding 5000 PPM for more than a few minutes to prevent gradual sensor saturation.
  • Page 7 Remove the instrument from its case. If the unit is to be used for stack measurements, take the probe and make sure that there is no liquid water in the water trap, that the desiccant is blue in color, and the disposable filter is clean.
  • Page 8: Area Monitoring

    battery charger connected to a 110 volt AC source after the first day of operation. AREA MONITORING NOTE: The instrument is not designed to be intrinsically safe and should not be used in explosive atmospheres!!! The instrument may be used as a safety device for the detection of hazardous carbon monoxide gas for work areas.

    will be deposited on the surface of the sensor. This may cause erratic or low readings. Used up desiccant material can be reactivated by heating at 300-400 degrees Fahrenheit in a clean atmosphere for about one hour until it becomes blue again.
  • Page 10: Instrument Calibration

    If you are using the ENERAC calibration kit follow the directions in the calibration kit manual. If you are using your own span gas, feed the calibrated gas to the stack probe at a rate of approximately 1000-1500 cc/min.

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF CO GAS Carbon monoxide is a colorless, tasteless, odorless gas. it is slightly lighter than gas. It is almost always found as a by-product of incomplete combustion. Carbon monoxide burns in air or oxygen to form carbon dioxide.
