Routine maintenance
Only authorised and qualified persons must handle the Hydrosteel analyser, using all normal safety
practices. Except for procedures described in this manual, the Hydrosteel analyser must be serviced by Ion

Checking system performance
Normally, the HT-R and LT-R probe plates are only liable to damage and degradation after extensive use,
when attached to a steel surface having ridges or high spots. Damage will be evident from worn or crushed
grooves on the plate under-surface, and poor challenge test results. Replacement collector plates are
supplied and should be fitted as indicated in Section
– Probe Plate Replacement.
All Hydrosteel equipment is factory calibrated. ION Science Ltd recommends the instrument and challenge
kit be calibrated yearly. To be assured of analyser flow, pneumatic performance and hydrogen
measurement are within specifications a function test using the Function Test Kit (Part No A-40107) unit is
recommended. The function test does not re-calibrate the instrument.
The function test procedure is detailed over the following pages.
