NEVER put CA or water directly on the heater surface. ALWAYS put water
or CA into heating pans, and then place these on the heater.
NEVER exceed 8 drops of CA per development cycle.
NEVER operate the system without the clear chamber attached to the
stainless steel face plate. The Portable Fuming System was not designed to
generate CA fumes for large areas or volumes.
NEVER attempt to override the temperature controller or the over
temperature switch; Serious damage to the heating element and/or other parts
of the system may result.
NEVER attempt to develop evidence containing flammable gases or solvents.
Do not operate the system without the appropriate filter in place. If an odor is
detected coming out of the granular activated carbon, it needs to be replaced.
The system weighs approximately 22 lbs. (10 kg). Always follow safe-lifting
guidelines when transporting the unit.
When cleaning the system:
• Always wear appropriate personnel protective equipment.
• NEVER use solvents to clean the clear chamber. Use mild soap or
detergent and warm water to clean the chamber.
• NEVER spray cleaner or any liquid into the fan exhaust located on
the top of the system; this may damage the blower.
• Ensure adequate room ventilation.
• DO NOT allow bleach or disinfectants with high concentrations of
free chlorine to contact the stainless steel components of the system
for a long period of time. Free chlorine will corrode stainless steel
after extended contact.
