6. Using the 5/16-inch hex wrench, install the new pre-filter into the

stinger and tighten until snug.

7. Re-install the probe tip shield onto the end of the stinger. Using the

3/8-inch wrench and the 5/32-inch hex wrench, tighten the locknut

and screw on the probe tip shield until snug.

8. Remove the flange cap from the stack opening. Carefully re-install the

probe into the stack, making sure the gasket is properly seated. Thread

the 4 flange nuts and washers onto the threaded studs, and then tighten

using the 15/16-inch wrench until snug.

9. Power up the probe by turning on the Probe circuit breaker on the

breaker box to complete the procedure.

Use the following procedures to perform maintenance and servicing on the

FTIR analyzer. Maintenance procedures are performed periodically to keep

the analyzer running efficiently. Service procedures are performed to

replace a failing component in the analyzer.

WARNING Perform only those procedures on the analyzer described in this

section. If there are other problems with the analyzer, contact technical

support. Also refer to the Antaris IGS manual in the

page 1-10.

Use the following procedure to periodically check and/or replace the

desiccant packet in the FTIR analyzer, which is located behind the front

panel. These packets keep the analyzer optics free of excess moisture. They

should be checked even if the analyzer is in storage. Replace spent desiccant

packets, as they cannot be dried or regenerated safely. Keep all covers closed

tightly unless a maintenance and servicing procedure is being performed, to

minimize the exposure to humidity.

WARNING The desiccant is harmful if swallowed. Follow the

manufacturer's instructions to dispose of desiccant packets properly.

CAUTION Avoid burn and fire hazards. Do not attempt to regenerate spent

desiccant packets.
