OPERATION OPERATION Sampling Start-Up Procedure The ES70 sampling system is designed for continuous operation. Immediately after the power is applied, the dew-point transmitter will begin operation and all output signals will be live. It is essential that the connection of electrical and gas supplies to this instrument be undertaken by competent personnel.
GOOD MEASUREMENT PRACTICE GOOD MEASUREMENT PRACTICE The ES70 is designed to operate in a fl owing gas stream and is suitable for the measurement of the moisture content of a wide variety of gases. In general, if the gas (in conjunction with water vapor) is not corrosive to ceramics or base metals then it will be suitable for measurement by the ES70.
ES70 User’s Manual MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE General Maintenance Guidelines Routine maintenance of the sampling system is confi ned to fi lter element replacement and regular recalibration of the dew-point transmitter. Filter Element Maintenance The composition of the gas determines the frequency of the fi lter element replacement, i.e.
