OPERATION

3.2.1 Sampling Safety Test

This test is only available for instruments that are equipped with an integral
pump.
Upon startup, an alarm (visual, audible and vibrating) is triggered and the
customer is prompted to block the pumps/sampling system of the
instrument within 30 seconds.
When the instrument detects a pump flow block, it will display a PASS
message. The startup sequence will be resumed.
If the instrument does not detect a pump flow block, it will display an error
message.
The instrument will shut off after the customer acknowledges this message
by pressing the
Check your sampling system if this occurs and contact MSA as needed.
Users can check the operation of the sampling system anytime during
operation by blocking the sampling system to generate a pump alarm.
Do not use the pump, sample line, or probe unless the pump alarm
activates when the flow is blocked. Lack of an alarm is an indication that
a sample may not be drawn to the sensors, which could cause
inaccurate readings.
Failure to follow the above can result in serious personal injury or death.
Never let the end of the sampling line touch or go under any liquid
surface. If liquid is drawn into the instrument, readings will be inaccurate
and instrument could be damaged. We recommend the use of an MSA
sample probe containing a special membrane filter, permeable to gas
but impermeable to water, to prevent such an occurrence.
