Operation
Water/Filter Trap
The optional water/filter trap accessory is recommended to be used in
conjunction with the 30" barholing probe; thus preventing water from
being drawn into the instrument when the probe is inserted into a hole
filled with water. The water trap can also be used with the standard 10"
probe when an operator is probing for a gas leak in an area that contains
pools of water.
Install the water/fiter trap directly on the instrument’s gas inlet fitting;
then connect the gas probe and hose assembly to the water trap as shown
in Figure 17.
When using the water trap, observe that its bowl will begin to fill as
water is drawn into the probe. It is good practice not to allow the water
level to rise above the filter retainer. Empty the bowl by first turning
OFF the Pup or removing the water/filter trap from the instrument, and
then pushing up on the drain valve located at the bottom of the bowl.
The water trap also contains a particulate filter that should be changed
when it becomes contaminated with dirt. Note that a dirty filter will slow
down the flow of gas into the instrument and thus slow down the
instrument’s response time. Replace this filter by first unscrewing the
bowl, and then unscrewing the filter retainer and discarding the old filter.
Install a new filter and reattach the bowl.
