This analyser is not designed to be used for continuous measurements.
Before using the analyser verify the condition of the various parts of the
analyser, such as the probe, the ambient air conditions, the condensate
separator, star filter and the connectors for damage and/or blockages.
When starting up the analyser it will take between 1 – 3 minutes to set to
zero depending on the condition of the sensors and of ambient.
The minimum zeroing time of the analyser to achieve correct measure-
ment values can be expected by 1.5 minutes.
Exposure to acids; aggressive gases such as sulphur; vapours such as
thinners, gasoline, alcohol and paint, etc. can damage, reduce the life of,
or destroy the sensors.
The life of the sensors depends on how they are used, maintained and
treated. Typical average life expectations are: O
H S 2 years and NO - 3 years.
