If no leaks are found, apply AC power to the instrument as follows:
1 Establish airflow through the air dryer, but do not connect the air output to the test station. Allow the
air to purge for 3 to 5 minutes.
2 Connect the air supply to the test station.
3 Unlock the transducer and motor as directed in
4 Plug the power cable from the lower power supply module into the wall outlet.
5 Turn the power switch on the lower power supply module to the On (|) position.
6 Verify that the air pressure to the motor, transducer, and oven are correct.
NOTE: To verify the proper pressure setting for the FCO ("FCO Heater Air"), the FCO must be turned on.
If the pressure is too low, the FCO turns off within a few seconds of being turned on and the system dis-
plays a "low pressure" error message.
Internal Filter Inspection
There are also internal filters inside the test station that should be inspected and serviced on an approxi-
mately six- month to a year basis. Only qualified service personal should perform this maintenance.
NOTE: Opening the back panel will allow you to see the internal filters. The filters should be white. Any
yellow color indicates oil is getting through and they should be changed.
Air Dryer Inspection
Inspect and service the air dryer according to its manual. The two external filter cartridges mounted with
the air dryer can be checked and changed. Make sure the moisture indicator is green. If it turns red, discon-
nect the air line, drain the filter bowls, and change the filter cartridges. Make sure the air dryer is set to "2."
