Android tablet with phxApp | n/a |
Note: Since a probe integrity inspection is required to identify small leaks missed during the probe block step of the self-check, best practice is to conduct a probe integrity inspection every week and/or anytime you have a drift failure. This test should be performed with the filter and probe tip in place.
Procedures
-
Connect the probe to the SpanBox calibration harness and ignite the phx42.
-
Apply Zero Gas.
-
Use one freshly opened Alcohol-based lens-cleaning wipe per probe.
-
Run the wipe along the length of the probe hose and at the probe joints while watching the device connected to the phx42.
-
If there is a leak, it will be drawn through the breach, into the phx42 and will register a PPM reading within seconds.
-
If you detect a PPM deflection of >2PPM, report an issue.
Reminder: The length of time the phx42 will take to register a deflection will correspond to the response time of the machine. If inspecting an extension probe, you must slow down to accommodate the extended response time (minimum of 1 second per foot of probe tubing +5 seconds).
