Scrubber
A carbon dioxide scrubber is factory-shipped with GX-6000s that have an IR
CO
2
sensor installed.
The scrubber is for use when setting the carbon dioxide sensor’s zero reading
only. A single piece of tubing connects both ends of the scrubber when not in
use. To prolong the life of the scrubber, be sure the tubing is connected to
both ends of the scrubber while the scrubber is not in use or while it is being
stored. Replace the scrubber when you notice the pellets in the scrubber tube
beginning to break down into powder.

VOC Zero Filter
If you instrument has an IR CO
2
sensor and a PID sensor installed, a VOC
zero filter is included as standard. The VOC zero filter scrubs out low levels
of VOC gases using charcoal. Use the VOC zero filter when performing a
fresh air adjustment on the instrument.
The filter comes with a tubing stub and plug on each end. Both plugs must be
removed before using the filter and must be reinstalled for storage. The filter
does not have a preferred flow direction.
