Replacing a Tube
When to Replace Tube
RKI Instruments, Inc. recommends that the tube be replaced before starting a
new measurement in Benzene Select Mode. If discoloration of the filter
material extends beyond the “3/4” line (into the side without the text and
arrow), the tube needs to be replaced. Even though discoloration can be a
measure of when to replace the tube, not all gases cause the filter material to
discolor which is why RKI Instruments, Inc. recommends that the tube be
replaced before starting a new measurement in Benzene Select Mode.
If the tubes are being stored in a refrigerator, take them out of the refrigerator
and let them sit overnight before using them.
Instructions to Replace Tube
1 . Remove the front of the tube holder by pushing on the locking
mechanism and pulling the front half away from the back half, shown
below.
