  2. The HAZMATCAD™ is a next generation handheld trace chemical agent detector for Nerve (G) and Blister (H) agents as well as Hydrogen Cyanide (AC) or Phosgene (CG). The HAZMATCAD™ is designed to detect for these warfare agent gases with minimal interference from other chemicals which are often present in the battlefield or urban environment. What is the HAZMATCADTM?

  3. The HAZMATCAD™ Plus expands the performance of HAZMATCAD™ by adding the ability to detect selected TICs (Toxic Industrial Chemicals). These chemicals are detected and reported by class identification (hydride and halogen gases). What is the HAZMATCAD™ Plus?

  4. HAZMATCAD™ Configurations HAZMATCAD™ Plus SAW (nerve and blister) Four electrochemical cells (blood, choke, halogen and hydride gases) • HAZMATCAD™ • SAW (nerve and blister) • One electrochemical cell (blood or choke)

  5. False Alarms vs. Analysis Time Fast Response Time – IMS – Typically (5 to 30 sec) Direct readout of total contamination No sample pre-collection or clean up Increased risk of false positives HAZMATCAD™ Analysis Time – SAW (20 to 120 sec) Fast Mode (20 sec) or High Sensitivity Mode (120 sec) Sample collection on absorbant media Sample control Reduced risk of false positives

  6. How Does a SAW Sensor Work? Small Piezoelectric Crystal Interdigital Array Polymer Surface Coating RF Electronics to Drive SAW Data Collection - frequency changes as mass absorbs into polymer

  7. SAW Sensor Fundamentals

  8. Benefits of SAW Technology Long Term Sensor Stability Semi Selective Chemical Detection Partition Coefficient Equilibrium Detection Mechanism Quick Response and Fast Recovery Better Sample Characterization

  19. HAZMATCAD™Analysis Cycle – Fast Mode Analysis Cycle is 20 Seconds  Sample Collection −Pump On − 1-11 Seconds  Sample Preheat − Pump Off / Concentrator On − 12-14 Seconds  Sample Injection − Pump On − 15-20 Seconds Repeats Cycle Sequence Until Turned Off

  20. HAZMATCAD™ Analysis Cycle- High Sensitivity Mode Analysis Cycle is 120 Seconds  Sample Collection −Pump On − 1-111 Seconds  Sample Preheat − Pump Off / Concentrator On − 112-114 Seconds  Sample Injection − Pump On − 115-120 Seconds Repeats Cycle Sequence Until Turned Off

  21. HAZMATCAD™Change Mode Cycle Press “MODE” Button Current Mode will display on LED  “FAST” or “HI S” (High Sensitivity) While “Mode” is displayed, press “MODE” again New Mode will flash on LED A purge cycle will begin (i.e. Start Over)

  22. HAZMATCAD™Training Mode Press the ON Button HAZMATCAD will perform a self test When /////// is displayed on the LED, press and hold the “Mode Select” button Audible alarm will beep to confirm training mode has started After warm up, HAZMATCAD will chirp every three seconds Turn off HAZMATCAD to deactivate

  29. Check Source Verification Chemical Simulant for “G” Agent • Dimethyl Methlyphosphonate (DMMP) Verify Check Source Expiration Date • 6 months from date on tube • MSDS - Appendix A in Operation Manual A Successful Test indicates the HAZMATCADTM is fully operational for Nerve and Blister Agent Detection No need to test separately for Blister

  30. How to use Simulant Check Source Power Up HAZMATCADTM Allow HAZMATCADTM to report “ALL CLEAR” Prepare Check Source - remove vinyl end caps Position Sample Inlet to “OPEN” position Listen for Pump Operation • When pump pauses, wait 10 seconds • Hold Simulant Check Source to Sample Inlet for 3 seconds then remove “G” Alarm should be indicated on next analysis Allow HAZMATCADTM to return to “ALL CLEAR”

  31. HAZMATCADTM Li-Ion Battery 2 SONY NP-F550 Rechargeable Lithium Ion Batteries Can operate on one battery 8 to 12 hours of operation (dependent on Mode) • Fast Mode = 8 hours • High Sensitivity Mode = 12 hours Can remove batteries while operating (HOT SWAP) NP-F550 batteries require periodic charging Typical recharge time is approximately 1 hour Battery charger will indicate charge level

  32. Turn HAZMATCAD OFF Place the three position sample port in the CLOSED position Wipe down completely with moist, soapy cloth Shake HAZMATCAD briskly to remove residual liquid Place three position sample port in OPEN position and invert HAZMATCAD for two minutes Wipe dry with clean towel, paper towel or clean rag Place the HAZMATCAD in a sealed bag for one hour Sample the headspace of the bag using another HAZMATCAD, M256 kit or other appropriate device If residual contamination is detected, repeat steps 1 thru 8 HAZMATCADTM Decontamination

  33. Place an operating HAZMATCAD in a large plastic bag and seal it Let the HAZMATCAD run for 60 minutes Sample the headspace of the bag with another HAZMATCAD, M256 kit or other appropriate device for trace contamination If contamination is detected, run the HAZMATCAD in clean air for several hours and repeat steps 1 thru 3 If HAZMATCAD still shows traces of contamination,contact Microsensor Systems, Inc. or the appropriate government agency HAZMATCADTM Check forInternal Contamination

  34. Data Log / Communication External Modem Software Program (ProComm) • Null Modem Cable • 9600 Baud N-8-1 Serial Port Communication Set up software to save file When on, HAZMATCADTM will automatically transmit the data log System parameters and data log will transmit to PC Data log can be saved as a text file

  35. HAZMATCADTM Operation- Error Messages Fault conditions displayed on LED • Sensor 1 (S1), Sensor 2 (S2), Sensor 3 (S3) • CONC (Concentrator) • PUMP (Sample Pump) • XXXX Electrochemical Cell Failure • All system problems are recorded in Data Log Low battery warning • Lo Bat. (Yellow LED) indication at 6.5V • System will not power up if battery voltage is less than 6.0V

  36. Warnings / Precautions Do Not Allow HAZMATCAD to Sample Water • Avoid Rain Storms, Don’t Sample Close to Liquids Do Not drop or abuse instrument Do Not disassemble case - no serviceable parts Do Not expose the HAZMATCAD to extreme high or low temperatures (Operational Range 0° to 40°C) Charge Li-Ion batteries on a regular basis
