In general, flow problems can be divided into 3 categories:
1.Flow is zero (no flow)
2.Flow is greater than zero, but is too low, and/or unstable
3.Flow is too high

WARNING
Hazardous voltages present - use caution.
Flow is zero:
1.Confirm that the sample pump (sample flow) is operating (turning). If not, check the 115V power to the pump. If the pump does not operate with 115V present at its terminal, replace the pump. Check for plugged pneumatic lines, filters, or orifices.
2.If the pump is
Low Flow:
1.Check for leaks as described in Section 11.3. Repair and
2.Check for dirty sample filter or dirty sintered filter.
3.Check for partially plugged pneumatic lines, flow restrictor, or valves.
High Flow:
1.The most common cause of high flow is a leak around the flow restrictor. To correct, remove the flow restrictor and replace
