Routine maintenance
4
Insert the collector plate capillary into the collector assembly until the back of the plate contacts the
magnets. If the capillary is obstructed, the collector plate locking screw may require further loosening
with the 2.5 mm hexagonal screwdriver.
5 Lock the collector plate into position using the hexagonal screwdriver. Re-connect the HT sample
tube nut onto the new collector plate until finger tight. Screw into place the probe handle.
Cleaning
Warning; Organic solvents such as IPA should not be used to clean the analyser or collector plates. The
solvent vapour in strong concentrations may affect the sensor readings.
Attention must be made to keep the following areas clean:
1. All pneumatic joints
2. Analyser inlet
3. Surface of collector plate.
4. Bottom of probe assembly collector plate free from grit and metal filings that may be collected by
magnetic attraction.
Cleaning general
Clean the analyser and equipment using a damp cloth and mild detergent. Care must be taken around the
analyser inlet and all pneumatic openings (sample tube etc.) to ensure that water does not enter. Dry
immediately with suitable towel.
Cleaning magnets
The magnets may with time attract magnetic and ferromagnetic particles. These can easily be removed
using an air jet from a typical air supply (100 psi / 7 bar). Simply play the jet across the surface wiping where
necessary to blow the particles away.
