 HOW THE
ANALYSER WORKS
INTEGRAL SAMPLE CONDITIONING
1 7 The gas sample is drawn into the analyser via a sample
3 probe and hose connected to the input connection on
4 6 the side panel of the analyser. The sample enters the water
catchpot where residual water is removed. The sample gas
2
5 is then passed through a 0.1 micron particulate filter.

8
FILTERING OUT DAMAGING CHEMICALS
- PROLONGING SENSOR LIFE
9
The sample gas is routed to the sensor manifolds, after
removing flow and pressure variations. To ensure that the
CO and CxHy sensors are not contaminated by other gases
the sample gas is fed through a chemical filter prior to
being routed to these sensors. This action prolongs sensor
life and improves measurement accuracy.

11
AUTOMATIC SENSOR PROTECTION
To protect the CO Low sensor from excessive levels of CO
(normally levels >2000 ppm), the system automatically
switches to the high range CO sensor (up to 40,000 ppm if
fitted). The CO low sensor is then automatically purged using
a dedicated pump which blows ambient air to protect the
10
sensor, ensuring rapid recovery time and maximum sensor
life.
