around the unit. What may appear to be plain water could contain one of these toxic substances. In case of eye contact, immediately flush eyes with water for at least 15 minutes. Call physician. (See appendix, Material Safety Data Sheet.)

CAUTION: DO NOT DISTURB THE INTEGRITY OF THE CELL PACKAGE UNTIL THE CELL IS TO ACTUALLY BE USED. IF THE CELL PACKAGE IS PUNCTURED AND AIR IS PERMITTED TO ENTER, THE CELL WILL REQUIRE AN EXCESSIVELY LONG TIME TO REACH ZERO AFTER INSTALLATION (1-2 WEEKS!).

5.2.2 When to Replace a Cell

The characteristics of the Micro-Fuel Cell show an almost constant output throughout its useful life and then fall off sharply towards zero at the end. Cell failure in the 3000TA is usually characterized inability to zero the instrument down to a satisfactorily low ppm reading. When this occurs, the 3000TA system alarm trips, and the LCD displays a failure message.

#.# ppm Anlz

CELL FAIL/ ZERO HIGH

Before replacing the cell:

a)Check your span gas to make sure it is within specifications.

b)Check for leaks downstream from the cell, where oxygen may be leaking into the system.

If there are no leaks and the span gas is OK, replace the cell.

5.2.3 Removing the Micro-Fuel Cell

The Micro-Fuel cell is located inside the stainless steel cell block behind the front panel (see Figure 5-1). To remove an existing cell:

1.Remove power to the instrument by unplugging the power cord at the power source.

2.Open the front panel door by pressing the release button on the top right corner of the door all the way in with a narrow gauge tool, such as a small screwdriver, and releasing it.
