It prevents water and other liquids from contaminating the flow system. Replace the filter when it appears dirty, discolored, or clogged. If a liquid other than water is drawn into the filter, replace the filter as soon as possible. 35-3010RKA-03 Sample-Draw Detector • 3... - Page 8 4-20 mA line for the CO channel. This causes a downscale reading at the monitor on this channel. The low flow level is factory-set at 0.6 SCFH (±0.2 SCFH). NOTE: There is no low flow indication for the LEL and oxygen channels. 4 • 35-3010RKA-03 Sample-Draw Detector...
