4 Installation, Start Up and Shut Down Installation of the analyzer requires the following steps be followed: # Connecting the N2/Air supply to the aspirator Connecting an exhaust tube to the aspirator outlet, if needed Connecting the pneumatic pressure service to the pneumatic inlet fitting Connecting the sample gas line to the analyzer inlet fitting Making the power connection to the analyzer Installation of the zero gas purifier POWER SWITCH High Capacity Gas Purifier Installation Date: Part No. 16221780 Figure 2: Major Internal Components Installation, Start Up and Shut Down

4.1 Analyzer Installation 4.1.1 Gas Connections 4.1.1.1 Aspirator The standard vacuum source provided with the DF-750 analyzer is a factory installed aspirator as shown in Figure 3. Aspirator installation with the optional gas panel is identical. SAMPLE VENT ASPIRATOR 80 psi IN Figure 3: Aspirator Installation A regulated source of dry compressed gas (either N2 or air) is required at 80psi and a flow rate of approximately 15 slpm. The use of N2 is required when the analyzer is used in an H2 application. Connection is made to the aspirator by way of a ¼ inch compression fitting labeled “80 psi...

The aspirator needle valve should be opened (CCW) completely. Be sure to use a backup wrench when making all connections to the aspirator. 4.1.1.2 Vacuum Pump An optional vacuum pump can be purchased for those cases where there is insufficient gas pressure or flow to operate the aspirator, or when the analyzer is installed in a portable cart and connection to a continuous gas supply is inconvenient. See page 23 for information on the installation of the optional vacuum pump. 4.1.2 Pneumatic Pressure Line Connection The pneumatic gas connection is a 1/8 inch compression fitting as shown in Figure...
