3. Turning On & Fuel Selection
3.1 Turning On
Always: - Before turning on please ensure
that the In-Line Pump Protection Filter
(shown across) is connected to the Gas
Sample Port (see 2.2 or 2.4).
**THIS MUST REMAIN ON THE UNIT
AT ALL TIMES.**
Failure to do so may result in pump failure
and will invalidate the warranty.
Press the Power Key for approximately 2 seconds and the TPI 709R will
start up and display ALL Segments on the display for approx. 1 second. The
709R will then enter its 30-second purge period countdown with the following
screen being displayed.
The instrument should ALWAYS be turned
on in a clean air environment as the 30
second purge will attempt to set the Carbon
Monoxide level to 0 ppm and the Oxygen to
20.9%.
If there is insufficient clean air in the sensor
chamber after the 30 second purge period an
error indicating this may be displayed, please
see troubleshooting guide (appendix D) for
appropriate remedy. If the error is still present
after attempting the suggested remedy please
call the
TPI HELPLINE
01293 530196
3.2 Fuel Selection
During the last 20 seconds of the 30 second purge time (i.e. as the 709R counts
down from 19 to 0) the user can scroll through the following Fuels: - Natural Gas,
LPG, Light Oil & Heavy Oil by repeatedly pressing the
Up Arrow Key to select the Fuel they are working with.
