Instruction 19-9320 9
2.12 Powering Analyzer from Charger
The analyzer can be continuously powered by its charger by connecting
the charger to the analyzer in the following sequence:
1. Switch ON the analyzer without the charger attached.
Note: Connecting the charger to an analyzer that is switched
OFF causes the unit to enter its charging mode, which in turn
prevents the analyzer from being switched ON.
2. Plug the charger into the appropriate AC wall socket (or 12 VDC when
using the optional vehicle charger). Then plug the charger’s output
connector into the analyzer’s charging socket (Figure 1, Item H).
The analyzer will now continuously run, until the charger is removed
and the unit switched OFF —the analyzer will not turn OFF with the
charger attached.
2.13 High Humidity Gas Sampling (2825 / 2830)
When using the 2825 / 2830 to draw gas samples from areas with high
levels of humidity (e.g., incubators with water jackets), install both a
particulate lter (P/N 54-0548) and desiccant lter (P/N 07-1645) on the
analyzer by rst connecting the particulate lter to the analyzer’s inlet
gas tting, and then connecting the desiccant lter to the particulate l-
ter using a 2–3 inch piece of rubber tubing (cut from the tubing supplied
with the analyzer). Use the remaining piece of tubing to connect to the
incubator. See Figure 4.
Replace the desiccant lter when its silica gel turns a pinkish color. Note
that the lter’s silica gel can be rejuvenated by either running pure N
2
through the lter at a low ow rate, or by baking the lter in a 250°F
(120°C) oven until its blue color returns.
When storing the desiccant lter, install rubber caps (P/N 19-0001) on
both ends of the lter. The caps will seal the lter when not in use and
extend its life.
