2.3.2 PNEUMATIC CONNECTIONS
This Section provides not only pneumatic connection information, but also important
information about the gases required for accurate calibration; Section 2.3.3 shows the
pneumatic flow diagrams for the analyzer in its basic configuration and with options.
Before making the pneumatic connections, carefully note the following cautionary and
special messages:
CAUTION – General Safety Hazard
• Carbon monoxide (CO) is a toxic gas. Do not vent calibration gas
or sample gas into enclosed areas.
• Obtain a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for this material. Read and
rigorously follow the safety guidelines described there.
• Sample and calibration gases should only come into contact with
PTFE (Teflon), FEP, glass, stainless steel or brass.
• The exhaust from the analyzer’s internal pump MUST be vented
