5.2.1.2 Replacing the metal capillary filter with the plastic capillary filter
If you want to switch from a capillary filter made of metal to a capillary filter made of
plastic, you have to the remove the cone seal. The cone seal sits on the steel capillary
in the sniffer tip.
1 Turn off the Ecotec E3000.
2 Unscrew the filter.
3 Unscrew the two cross-head screws in the sniffer tip flange and take out the
sniffer tip.
4 Push the capillary out of the plastic sheath a bit from the top with a narrow pin
or a thin needle (about 0.5 mm). Make sure that the sinter filter in the sniffer tip
flange does not get lost in doing so.
5 Remove the cone seal from the sniffer tip.
6 Put the sinter filter back in and tighten the sniffer tip on the handle.
7 Screw the plastic capillary filter on the sniffer tip.
8 Calibrate the Ecotec E3000, see "Calibrate [}43]."
