INTRODUCTION
This manual describes the function, operation and maintenance of the Nitrogen Tester. The intent of this manual is to describe the function of the Nitrogen Tester only. The final assembly manufacturer should provide operating instructions for the completed assembly. The Nitrogen Tester is engineered for long life, maximum reliability and stable performance.
NOTE: In order to obtain optimum performance from the Nitrogen Tester, all operation and
maintenance must be performed in accordance with this manual. Please read the manual thoroughly before using the Nitrogen Tester and do not attempt any repair or procedure that is not described herein. The warranty does not cover any damage resulting from misuse, unauthorized repair or improper maintenance of the Nitrogen Tester.
WARNING: Never allow an excess length of tubing or any accessory near a person’s head
or neck, which may result in strangulation. Before use, all individuals who will be using the Nitrogen Tester must become thoroughly familiar with the information contained in this manual. Strict adherence to the operating instructions is necessary for safe, effective product performance. This product will perform only as designed if installed and operated in accordance with the manufacturer’s operating instructions.
Use only genuine accessories and replacement parts. Failure to do so may seriously impair the performance. Repair or alteration of the Nitrogen Tester beyond the scope of the maintenance instructions, or by anyone other than an authorized service person, could cause the product to fail to perform as designed.
Calibrate the Nitrogen Tester weekly, when in operation, or if environmental conditions change significantly (Elevation, Temperature, Pressure, Humidity — refer to “Factors Influencing Accurate Readings”).
WARNING: Use of the Nitrogen Tester near devices that generate electrical fields may
cause erratic readings
WARNING: DO NOT over pressurize the sensor. Doing so may destroy the sensor and
void the warranty. To avoid over pressurization only allow 5 psi (or 2 liters per minute) of gas to come in contact with the sensor membrane.
WARNING: Ensure proper tire inflation pressure after use, if required. WARNING: The oxygen sensor is a sealed device containing a mild acid electrolyte, lead
(Pb), and lead acetate. Lead and lead acetate are hazardous waste constituents and should be disposed of properly, or returned for proper disposal or recovery.
WARNING: Do not immerse the device in any cleaning solution, autoclave or expose the
sensor to high temperatures greater than 1500 F (700 C).
WARNING: Dropping the device can adversely affect its performance.
