Storing the gas analyzer
When you are done using the gas analyzer, follow these practices to be sure that it is
ready to use the next time you need it. The instrument can be stored in non-con-
densing conditions. If the instrument is stored in high humidity or moderate humid-
ity for a long time while powered off, some optical components may temporarily
become saturated with humidity. If this occurs, the instrument may need to run for
several days before readings return to normal. When storing the instrument.
l
Install the covers over the air inlet and outlet. This will keep dust, bugs, and
other contaminants out of the optical cell.
l
Disconnect the power supply and power wires.
l
If possible, store the instrument in an air conditioned environment.
