7.5.5. Inlet Cleaning

The TSP inlet can be dismantled by unscrewing the 3 screws and separating the head into two parts. Use a
lint-free cloth wetted with isopropyl alcohol to clean both the inside and outside of the inlet.

7.5.6. Pump Module Removal

The pump module can be removed by unscrewing the 4 screws on the base plate and sliding the module
out. Ensure the AQM is switched off when removing the module. The sample, purge and exhaust lines need
to be disconnected and all the connected cables removed. The two main failures which would require
removal of the pump module are:

1. A leak is discovered
2. The pump requires replacement

In both these cases the pump module will need to be sent back to the Aeroqual factory for repair. Please
contact technical support for assistance.
