Replacing the filter element
The compressed air main regulator is pressurized (5.5 to 7 bar)!
Preparing to replace the filter, interrupting measuring mode
1 Switch analyzer system to Zero gas probe.
2 Wait until all measured values have dropped to zero.
3 Disconnect the sample gas line from the gas sampling probe and seal
the probe connection with a blind fitting.
4 Shut off the instrument air at the connection lead (source in front of the
analyzer cabinet).
5 Wait until the pressure at the inlet has dropped (display on the com-
pressed air main regulator –J85).
Replacing the filter element
6 Slowly screw on the filter housing 1 to relieve the residual pressure in
the filter. If necessary, position a 22mm open-end wrench at the bottom
end of the filter housing.
7 Unscrew filter housing and remove.
8 Undo the black closing piece 3 by hand; at the same time, fix the upper
black cylinder 2 using your other hand.
9 Remove the used filter element and insert a new filter element.
10 Re-assemble the filter: carry out steps 6 to 8 in the reverse order. Screw
on the filter housing only hand-tight.
Restoring measuring mode
11 Restart the instrument air supply
12 Remove blind fitting from the gas sampling probe and re-connect the
sample gas line.
13 Restore sample gas feed.
