ALSO!

We have endeavored to make your selection of mobile survey equipment as easy as possible, selecting only the options you actually need and employing plug and play technology. With either the Fixed or Portable Unit, using a 2” trailer receiver you have the flexibility of removing much of the equipment and using the truck elsewhere. If you choose the portable unit and decide at a later date you need to add the Sampling Arm, it plugs into the manifold and connectors already in place. Same for the Fixed system. Quickly removable also, it allows you to add additional options, such as Fuel Tank Cradle

Frequently Answers and Questions

What type of fuel does the Flame Pack 400 use?

The Flame Pack 400 uses a 40% hydrogen/60% nitrogen gas mixture.

How do I change the batteries in the Flame Pack 400?

Make sure the range switch is off. Loosen the screw on the black handle and remove it. Remove the spacer and old batteries. Install new batteries and reinstall the spacer and handle.

What is the calibration test procedure for the Flame Pack 400?

Ensure the fuel cylinder has at least 200 psi of fuel. Light the Flame Pack and allow it to warm up until the meter is stable. Adjust the meter to zero in clean air. Place the intake cone over the nozzle of a 50 ppm test can and release a burst of gas. The meter reading should respond to a minimum of 90% of the meter scale.

What is the proper shutdown procedure for the Flame Pack 400?

Place your thumb over the intake cone to extinguish the flame. Turn the switch to the off position and allow fuel to flow for 15-20 minutes. Close the fuel valve and clean the Flame Pack before storage.

What are some operating hints and cautions for the Flame Pack 400?

Always turn the power switch on before igniting the Flame Pack. Avoid dragging the intake cone in wet grass or dusty areas. Use care when installing batteries and check for leaks in the sample system.
