Operation

4.8 Ending a Combustion Test

WARNING! Burn Hazard. Do not touch the probe after removing it from the stack. Allow the probe to cool before handling (about 5 minutes).

1.Remove probe from stack.

2.Allow the pump to run until all combustion gases have been flushed from the analyzer as indicated by the O2 reading returning to 20.9%.

4.9 Emptying the Water Trap

The Water Trap / Filter Assembly removes stack-gas condensate, and also prevents soot from contaminating the internal components of the analyzer.

IMPORTANT: Use the Water Trap / Filter Assembly in a vertical position with the gas-flow arrow pointing up as shown in the illustration to the right.

Empty the water trap chamber after each combustion test, or stop the test and empty the chamber if the liquid condensate level ap- proaches the tip of the riser tube.

To empty the trap, first pull apart the two halves of the Water Trap using a slight twist- ing motion; empty the water trap chamber; and then reassemble the trap.

After each combustion test, also check the Water Trap’s filter element. If it looks dirty, replace the filter per Section 6.2.
