Occasionally the Plexiglas manifold on the rear panel of the Medical Gas Outlet Analyzer can
become dirty due to contaminants in a facility's piping system. To ensure proper performance of the analyzer, follow the instructions below to clean the manifold.1. Remove the two screws on the
bottom of the analyzer, turn the analyzer over and remove the top portion of the case.
2. Remove the two screws which hold the brass hose connector to the Plexiglas manifold and gently remove the brass hose connector
from the manifold.
3. Remove the two screws on the inside of the analyzer which hold the motor mount to the Plexiglas manifold and gently slide the motor mount back until the piston has been removed from the manifold.
4. Using a cotton swab wet with water and a mild soap, gently clean the Plexiglas area where the piston is normally positioned. Clean off any remaining soap.
5. Remove a portion of the cotton to reduce the
diameter of the swab and clean the long chamber in the Plexiglas. Clean off any remaining soap.
6. Gently remove the small diameter clear tubing from the hose barb on the inside of the analyzer.
7. Gently clean the
small flow port which intersects the long chamber by sliding a small diameter piece of wire through the hose barb and into the Plexiglas manifold.
8. Reassemble the small diameter clear tubing, motor mount and brass
hose connector being careful not to over-tighten any of the screws.
9. Reassemble the analyzer case so that the tongue and grove pattern on the side of the case match up properly and be careful not to over-tighten the
screws.
CAUTION: Use only hot water and mild soap when cleaning the Plexiglas manifold and do not lubricate the piston. Some solvents and lubricants are not compatible with Oxygen and can also be
harmful to the Plexiglas finish.
