HAPSITE Smart Plus Operating Manual

Loose debris may be removed by turning the HSS upside down with the top door
open. (Remove the battery first to reduce the weight.) Make sure no samples are
in the wells before performing this cleaning method.

If necessary, water, solvents, or detergent can be used to clean the wells. Be sure
to think about contamination issues if using anything other than water!

CAUTION

Do not completely fill the vials heater area with any
liquids, since damage to the instrument may result.

13.3.4 Decontaminating the HSS

The HSS is designed to be water resistant, but not waterproof. The HSS can
withstand rainfall, but should be removed to a dry area as soon as possible. The
front door has a seal which prevents water from passing into the instrument when
the door is closed. There is also a seal around the entire instrument where the
Headspace cover meets the base plate of the Headspace. Proceed as follows to
wash the HSS.

WARNING - Risk Of Electric Shock

Be careful to avoid shock. Disconnect the Headspace
instrument from its power source before continuing.

WARNING

Be careful to avoid burns if the surfaces are still hot.

WARNING

The needle tip is sharp, be careful to avoid injury.

1

Disconnect the HSS from the external power supply.

2

Remove the battery.

3

Remove all vials from the HSS heater wells. (Be careful of the sharp needle).

4

Disconnect the Transfer Line at the back of the HSS.

5

Close access doors.

6

Install the red plastic and metal plugs on all gas and electrical inlets and outlets
on the outside of the HSS.
