10.6.1 Troubleshooting Flow Problems
When troubleshooting flow problems, it is a good idea to first confirm actual flow of the analyzer. If available, use an independent flow meter rotameter or mass flow meter to measure flow(s). Sample flow can be measured at the sample inlet port at the instrument's rear panel. If no independent flow meter is available, placing a finger over an inlet port and feeling for a vacuum will at least give an indication whether flow is present.
If the independent flowmeter shows to be correct, check the pressure/flow sensor assembly as described in Section 10.6.8.
