It is important that the sample airflow system is leak-tight and not 
pressurized over ambient pressure. Regular leak checks should be 
performed on the analyzer as described in the maintenance schedule, 
Table 11-1. Procedures
 for correctly performing leak checks can be found 
in Section 11.3.6.

Relative Pressure versus Absolute Pressure 
In this manual vacuum readings are given in inches of mercury absolute 
pressure (in-Hg-A), i.e. indicate an absolute pressure referenced against 
zero (a perfect vacuum).
