CAUTION: When the instrument is used in an inecient furnace or boiler application
where there is a high soot concentration, the probe’s sample lter may become
clogged. Before every use check the lter to conrm that it is clean or replace it with
a new lter.
CAUTION: Never disconnect the probe from the instrument until purging is complete.
Otherwise, leftover target gas (for example, CO) may remain in the probe and cause
inaccurate zeroing at power up that could lead to inaccurate gas measurements
afterwards.
