11 Maintenance Procedures
The Lancom 4 requires very little maintenance.
Routine maintenance is very simple and requires no special tools.
To get the maximum performance from your analyser follow these guidelines:
1) We recommend that your analyser is recalibrated every 6 months.
For further information contact LAND Instruments International or an
authorised dealer.
The date of the last calibration is shown on the System Report.
2) Do not ignore the service light.
3) Follow the instructions in the Maintenance Schedule when the service
light comes on.
4) Do not use continuously when gas concentrations are high.
5) Don’t operate for extended periods - use the Wake and Sleep option.
6) Empty catch-pot regularly to avoid liquid entering the analyser.
7) Checktheconditionofthecatch-potandltersregularly.
11.1 Battery charging and maintenance

capacity of 4Ah at 25°C. Operation at lower temperatures will result in lower
battery capacity
A fully charged battery will typically give 8 to 20 hours of operation
(depending on instrument options and temperature).
Some parts of the sensor electronics are always on standby power when the

charged batteries can supply the sensor standby power for about 40 days.
The instrument must therefore be charged at least once per month when not
in use.
The instrument can be stored with the power supply connected, as the

not overcharge the batteries. If it is necessary to store the Lancom 4 for a
long time without power applied, you should charge the batteries fully and
then disconnect the battery terminals. Refer to the battery replacement
procedure below.
The instrument can be operated whilst the batteries are charging.
The instrument sensors will achieve best accuracy 2 hours after the batteries
are connected.
