Samples are collected with the sample traps and then vaporized by the desorber The vaporized molecules then pass through the semi-permeable membrane and into the detector The molecules are ionized so that they can be mobilized through the detector by an electric field The length of time it takes a substance to pass through the detector is known as its “time of flight” Light ions travel faster than heavier ions Overview

Overview Why Maintenance is Necessary • Optimize system performance • Keeps the sample and detector tubing clear of contamination • Prevents nuisance alarms • Minimize down time • Reduce maintenance and repair costs
Log On and Calibration Supervisor default pin number is 5 5 5 5. Maintenance pin number is 9 9 9 9.
Log On and Calibration Calibration Methods
Log On and Calibration Select TNT and insert the calibration trap.

Maintenance Saying yes to “Burn in Membrane” results in a four hour period of raised temperature that burns off any contaminants that may have been introduced with the installation of a new membrane.
Shift Maintenance Calibrate Check printer paper Clean the unit and work area with alcohol
Weekly Maintenance (With unit powered-on) Check Sample and Detector flow Verify nozzle flow Is approximately 0.2 SCFH @ 200 cc/min
Weekly Maintenance (With unit powered-off and wearing gloves) Clean desorber unit Inspect sample filter Clean sample air lines Inspect fan filter Clean the membrane Inspect dopant
Monthly Maintenance (With unit powered-off and wearing gloves) Change the membrane
