4.3 AQM 65 Service mode and using the Journal to document
service
4.3.1 Manual service mode
Performing service work on the AQM 65 such as changing filters or measuring flow rates can cause
the gas or particle readings to fluctuate. It is important to exclude these data from air quality reports.
The AQM 65 can be put in to “Manual Service Mode” by pushing the start button in the Calibration
and Service app. This will cause the data to be labelled as “service”, normally the data is labelled as
‘sample”. This is illustrated in Figure 4-2 and allows a data analyst to easily filter out service data
when performing quality control, calculating hourly or daily averages or writing air quality reports.
Figure 4-2 The AQM 65 can be put into Service Mode by clicking the button in the Calibration and Service
app. This will label the data as "Service" in the inlet column so the data can be filtered.
4.3.2 Journal
All service activities should be documented. The Journal is accessed by clicking the Journal button
next to the username at the top right of the screen, then selecting user entry.
Your distributor, and the Aeroqual technical support team will look at the journal to see service
records when providing advice and technical support.
Maintaining service records is also a prerequisite for achieving and maintaining Aeroqual Advanced
Certification Engineer status, see Section 4.7 for a discussion on the certification program.
