Analyzer 2825/2830/2835
Instruction 19-9320 5
2.4 Pump Operation
With the analyzer already switched ON, momentarily pressing the
button will start and stop the internal pump. The optional Extended
Probe Assembly with in-line lter (P/N 19-3310) can be connected to the
gas inlet tting (Figure 1, Item A) on the top of the analyzer for drawing
gas samples from hard-to-reach areas. If desired, a section of
1
/8" I.D.
tubing can be connected to the gas outlet tting (Figure 1, Item B) to
exhaust the gas being sampled to an outside area.
Note that the combined sampling hose and probe length should not
exceed 6 feet (1.8 m). Also note that the internal pump is intended for
use only at normal atmospheric pressure, and is not designed to draw
in gas samples against a vacuum or an obstruction such as a kink in the
sampling hose. If an obstruction or negative-pressure gradient is present,
then gas will not be drawn into the analyzer. Please consult the factory
for applications where longer sampling lengths are required, or where it
is necessary to draw against a vacuum.
2.5 Pump Contamination
Over time the pump can become contaminated, leading to a slower
response time and lower readings. To check for pump contamination,
turn the pump ON and hold your index nger over the inlet tting. The
pump should normally stall. If the pump, however, continues to run, then
the pump is contaminated and the analyzer needs to be returned to a
Bacharach Service Center for repair (refer to Section 4.2).
