4. Inspect the Filter Assembly:
If the Filter appears to be clean
, skip the remainder of this procedure,
replace the Filter Cap, and prepare the 5100P Analyzer for operation.
If the Filter is dirty or damaged
, you will need to replace it. To remove the
Filter, first remove the o-ring that is installed in the o-ring groove on the
outer edge of the cap. This o-ring secures the Filter in place and seals the
Filter Cap to the Filter Body assembly. After the o-ring has been removed,
remove the Filter.
If it is difficult to remove the o-ring and Filter Membrane, use an o-ring
removal tool or a small tool with a blunt tip (e.g., toothpick) to remove
the o-ring. Take care not to scratch the outer o-ring groove.
If the o-ring is not damaged, it can be reused. Set it aside until it is ready to
be replaced.
5. Use a soft, clean cloth to remove any liquids or particulates present in the
Filter Body assembly.
6. Obtain one new Filter Membrane (see below for PNs) and one new o-ring
(PN 42892JE) if it needs to be replaced.
The Filter Membrane is delicate – handle it with care.
Install one new Filter Membrane in the Filter Body:
Standard Sample Panel – Filter PN 42891JE, package of five).
or
Low Temperature Sample Panel – Filter PN 39126JE, package of five).
Some Filter Membrane replacement kits include a new o-ring, but
some do not. If your replacement Filter Membrane does not include an
o-ring, you will have to re-use the original one. In this case, clean off
any contaminants before replacing the o-ring.
If the new Filter Membrane is a Type 7, place the smooth side up, not
against the Filter Cap. The rough side (Membrane backing) should rest
against the support.
