® Analysis: The Firetron 1000 would normally display analysis type as dry. The conversion to wet analysis requires information on the % water content of the flue gas. Where the analysis is wet, the water content in % terms is also displayed. The formula for wet analysis is as follows: ppm (wet) = (1 - H O) (ppm) dry... - Page 13 ® is determined by the NO measured concentration plus the NO factor on the FT1300-1. factor is menu entered percentage.

® NOTE: Do not force the hinge beyond 45°, otherwise damage to the hinge may occur. Do not over- tighten. WATER CATCHPOT PUMP SERVICING Ensure the power supply is isolated before removing any panels to gain access to the instrument. If the water catchpot does fill and enter into the pump, then it will be necessary to clean and dry the pump out. -
Page 36: Fuse Replacement
This fuse will only be damaged when a serious fault occurs. Failure should only be investi- gated by a service engineer. NOTE: Unit should be returned to Fireye for determination of failure. Field replacement not recom- mended. Before attempting to change fuses the instrument must be disconnected from the main power supply. -
