Two operation basics are powering on the instrument and shutting it down.
Power on.
To power on the MX6 instrument, press and hold
After power on, a series of start-up screens is displayed on the LCD. Start-up
screens may vary depending on the unit's configuration.
If no pump is detected by the unit, the gas-monitoring display screen is
activated (see next section).
If the unit detects a pump, it requires the operator-assisted completion of a
pump test, a built-in safety measure to ensure the pump is operational.
To complete the pump test, attach the air sampling line* to the pump inlet's
nipple. Use a compatible water stop at the other end of the sampling line.
*NOTE: The air sampling line may consist of tubing only, probe only, or tubing and
probe (in this case, tubing is used to connect the instrument and the probe to allow
for moving the probe while holding the instrument steady).
The instrument operator is prompted through the pump-test process by the
following display-screen sequence.
No action necessary.
After a successful pump check, the gas-monitoring display screen is activated.
If no pump fault alarm occurs, there is an issue in the sampling path. Power off
the unit. Check and correct for damage, debris, and improper installation in these
areas: inlet cap, inlet barrel and dust filter, and the sampling line.
If the unit stays in pump fault, check for an error message on the display screen.
For a pump fault error, power off the unit. Check and correct for damage, debris,
and improper installation as noted above. If the condition persists, the filter or the
tubing may need to be replaced.
Note: The SP6 pump has a nominal flow rate of 300 cc/min (0.3 LPM). A pump fault alarm will occur when the pump senses a
vacuum of 30 inches of water.
