Follow these steps
Locate the source of the leak.
Location of the leak | Steps |
---|---|
Flow connection | 1. As leakage usually occurs at a connection, visually inspect all components and connections in the flow path. 2. Tighten or replace the connection or component as required. 3. Proceed with the steps below. |
Nebulizer | If liquid is visible on the nebulizer, leakage may have occurred in the nebulizer. 1. Remove the nebulizer from the detector (see Removing the Nebulizer). 2. Inspect the nebulizer for signs of leakage. 3. If no signs for leakage are present, re-install the nebulizer (see Installing the Nebulizer). 4. If signs of leakage are present, tighten or replace the connection or component as required. 5. Proceed with the steps below. |
With a cloth or tissue, thoroughly absorb all liquid that has collected in the leak tray and under the leak sensor. Be careful not to bend the sensor.
Allow the sensor to adjust to the ambient temperature for a few minutes.
If leakage is no longer reported, you can resume operation.
