11 Cleaning and Maintenance
Poisonous and hot gas hazard
When installing or removing the equipment, poisonous and hot gas
may be released from the duct to the atmosphere.
 All applicable local and plant specific safety codes need to be studied and followed before
loosening any flange or create any other opening to the duct
 Wear appropriate protective clothing, such as gas masks, gloves and follow any other additional
safety measure stated in the local, plant specific code.
Risk of burns due to hot components
When installing or removing the equipment, the probe and other
connected components may be hot..
 Wear appropriate heat protective gloves and follow any other additional safety measure stated
in the local, plant specific code.
Risk of electric shock!
A faulty electrical installation, excessive line voltage, or incorrect
operation may result in an electric shock.
 Always disconnect power at the external circuit breaker to the S305 when you are not using it,
when you intend to clean it, or in the event of a malfunction.
 Always work with another person in case an emergency should occur.
 Disconnect power before checking the S305 or performing maintenance.
 Make sure all equipment is properly grounded.
 Always wear safety glasses when working on the power supply.
 Read and understand user manual before installation.
Inspection and maintenance interval:
The cleaning and maintenance interval varies, depending on monitoring conditions, dust concentrations and
other substances in the measuring gas. It is subject of the plant operator to decide if longer or shorter intervals
are necessary or appropriate.
For practical reasons we suggest now the following procedure:
 In the beginning we recommend a monthly maintenance interval
 If there is only modest dust build up to be noticed on the probe which is easy to be removed, the
interval can be step by step prolonged
 However, an inspection of the functionality and a visual inspection of the device is recommended to
be done monthly
 If you find unusual behavior, contact Sintrol or your local distributor and make sure that the
instrument is inspected and approved by an expert consultant who is responsible for the integrity of
the system design and compliance with locally accepted codes.
