Page 6: Safety Warning
2. SAFETY WARNING This analyzer extracts combustion gases that may be toxic in relatively low concentrations. These gases are exhausted from the back of the analyzer. This analyzer must only be used in well-ventilated locations. It must only be used by trained and competent persons after due consideration of all the potential hazards. Protection Against Electric Shock (in accordance with EN 61010-1 : 2010) This analyzer is designated as Class III equipment and should only be connected to SELV circuits. -

- Page 9 TIP: Take care to purge the analyzer in really fresh air. Often the air in a garage or workshop is contaminated with HC up to about 2 meters from the floor with the emissions from past spills of oil, lubricants etc., that may have soaked into the floor. Once the initialization is completed the analyzer will zero the CO, HC, CO2 and NO sensors if fitted and set oxygen to 20.9%.

Page 26: Sampling The Exhaust Gas
4.5 SAMPLING THE EXHAUST GAS Once the zero calibration and test procedures have been completed and the fuel has been selected the probe can be inserted into the desired vehicle exhaust. Ensure the probe is inserted into the exhaust pipe so as to not allow air into the probe. The exhaust of a car can pulse, especially at low RPM, drawing air in causing bad readings, ensure the flexible probe is fully inserted and the clip attached to the exhaust pipe. -
Page 27: Regular Checks During Sampling

Page 30: Changing The Particle Filter
Carefully remove the end cap from the in-line housing. Dispose of the condensate in a suitable drain. Clean the inside of the water trap using a soft cloth 6.2 CHANGING THE PARTICLE FILTER This is a very important part of the analyzer and should be changed regularly. It prevents dust and dirty particles entering the pump and sensors and hence causing damage. -
Page 31: Zero Checks And Re-Calibration
If you suspect the internal filter is blocked perform the following: • Remove the probe connection from the water trap. • Empty and clean the water trap with a dry cloth. • Fit a new external particle filter. • Run the analyzer in fresh air (pump ON) for at least one hour. If the problem does not clear contact a service agent Fault symptom Causes... -
