2.1.2.3 Exhaust Connections 
2.1.2.3.1 A Series 
When  making  exhaust  connections,  locate  the  exhaust  outlet  away  from  the 
sample  inlet  and  occupied  enclosed  areas.  Connect  a  1/4"  OD  line  from  the 
exhaust port to an exhaust manifold that vents outside of occupied areas. Lines 
and  fittings  of  materials  other  than  those  cited  above  can  be  used  for  these 
connections. 
2.1.2.3.2 B Series 
Connect the exhaust port of the analyzer to a vacuum pump capable of 1 slpm at 
15” Hg (50 kPa) vacuum (minimum capacity). The exhaust of the pump should be 
connected to a manifold to vent the exhaust gas away from occupied areas. 
An optional exhaust pump is available from Ecotech. 
Caution 
Flow  in  the  EC9830B  is  calculated  assuming 
critical  pressure  across  an  orifice,  thus  the 
exhaust vacuum must be maintained at less than 
½ atmosphere (approximately 15” Hg  or 50 kPa 
at  sea  level)  to  keep  the  orifice  critical.  It  is 
recommended  that  the  user  install  a  vacuum 
gauge on the exhaust line and periodically check 
that  sufficient  vacuum  is  being  maintained.  If 
pump performance deteriorates below this level, 
flow indications from the analyzer will no longer 
be valid. 
2.2 AC Power Connection 
Verify that the power selection switch on the rear panel and the power cord and 
fuse are appropriate for your use. Move the switch right or left so the appropriate 
voltage  rating  is  visible  on  the  switch.  Figure  2-1  shows  the  voltage  selection 
switch.
