1. FILTER EXCHANGE The AirMetER-AX can contain up to four filters: 9933-05-CQ - Dust filter 1756-K-EACH - Gas filter KAM-SF9 - NOx filter 121-5866 - Pneumatic silencer It is recommended that these filters be exchanged no less than annually. The filters should be monitored and inspected at regular intervals in new applications to gain an insight into how long the filters last before discolouration.
2. TSP HEAD & HEATED INLET CLEANING A TSP head should be installed on all heated inlets at factory and while installed in the field, these need to be periodically cleaned. The time interval between cleaning varies depending on the application and location of the device.
3. FLOW RATE CALIBRATION DX II FLOW RATE CALIBRATION Attach a 0.4-5L/m rotameter (320-4A5) to the inlet of the AirMetER-AX, the flowmeter should indicate 2L/m ± 5%. Should this be out of tolerance, ensure there are no leaks and that there is pressure when blocking the heated inlet. Manual adjustment of the pump flow rate may be completed to achieve the flow rate as depicted below.
40-105mm in diameter. An adjustable spanner or flat- blade screwdriver may be utilised to either tighten or release the pipe clamp to suit the intended structure diameter. Care should be taken during installation to ensure the AirMetER-AX is level and firmly secured. Figure 4.1 – Mounting Brackets...
LOCATION & MOUNTING OF MONITOR Air-Met Scientific recommends the monitor is pole or tripod mounted in an open area, free from buildings and other obstructions that may have an influence on measurements. Figure 4.3 – External and Mounting-Point Dimensions (mm)
Do not use a power drill on the particulate sensor module screws as this may cause damage to the instrument. Ensure that the AirMetER-AX is switched off and disconnected from any power source while removing and replacing the particulate sensor module.

Figure 5.11 – Heated Inlet 1. Inside the AirMetER-AX unplug the heated inlet cable from the plug secured to the side of the enclosure. 2. Using a 2mm allen key loosen the grub screw to ensure the heated inlet can slide out of the tube adapter (the tube adapter is shown on the next slide).

1. Are the pump modules plugged in at the top as Readings are low displayed in Figure 3.2? 2. Check to make sure there is flow at the external exhaust. 3. Check that the flow rates at the gas and heated inlets are as detailed from II.
