Initial Start-Up; Dry-Down Period - Ametek 3050-AMS User Manual

Initial Start-Up

To power up and prepare the 3050-AMS Analyzer for operation:
1. Open the main sample shutoff valve at the source.
2. Adjust the sample pressure (6 to 50 PSIG).

3. Turn on the AC power at the source. Boot-up information will appear on
4. Once Sample gas flow starts, the analyzer will be in the normal operating
5. Allow the analyzer to warm up for a minimum of 45 minutes.

Dry-Down Period

Sample must be flowing during the dry-down period. You should allow 5 to 7
days for the analyzer to dry down and stabilize. During this period, the concen-
tration value shown on the display and the data recorded from output should
show a steadily decreasing trend. System alarm messages may be displayed
during this period.
When the dry down is complete, the concentration value on the display should
be stable and the recorded data should have leveled off. Zero alarms will still
be on the display.
The 3050-AMS Analyzer is now fully operational with factory default configu-
ration of the analog output and concentration alarms. You are ready to do an
initial Zero cycle.

If the concentration value is still decreasing after the initial dry down
period, allow additional dry down time.
