MAINTENANCE
The ENERAC micro-emissions analyzers are a sophisticated piece of analytical
instrumentation designed to perform accurate emissions measurements. However,
because they are hand-held instruments that find uses in many environments, care
must be taken to prevent physical and environmental abuse. This will help
maintain trouble-free operation.
There are five components that will require periodic inspection or replacement.
These are:
1. The non-rechargeable batteries (if you don’t use rechargeable batteries).
2. The disposable fiber filter.
3. Removal of condensate from the water trap.
4. Sensor replacement.
5. Printer paper replacement.
A. Battery replacement
The analyzer requires 4 AA cells for operation. If you use disposable batteries,
select alkaline MnO
2 cells for longer life. You should get at least six hours of
operation from a set of batteries depending on the use of the back light
illumination.
The battery charger can not be used if you are using non-rechargeable batteries!
Be sure to toggle the charger switch, located to the left of the paper roll, to the
‘Alkaline’ position to prevent accidental misuse.
The instrument is designed to warn you, if the batteries become weak. You can
also check the condition of the batteries at any time by pressing the STATUS
button. The battery voltage is displayed on the screen. A minimum of 4 volts is
required to operate the analyzer.
