MAINTENANCE
7.2
The Vent panel is removed by removing the pozi head screws. The
Vent panel should be replaced with, S300, Vent, Intake (Large) Part
No. CL-6201
[1]
or S300, Vent, Exhaust (Small) Part No. CL6200
[1]
The S320 and S320H models are fitted with a Condensate Drain
(Unless a Wastewater Drain is specified). This is terminated in the
22mm O/D pipe stub at the bottom rear of the Sampler Cabinet.
Regular checks should be made to ensure that this drain is
unblocked, by pouring a small quantity of water into the bottom of the
Lower Compartment and ensuring that it flows out of the pipe stub.
If a blockage is discovered, steps should be taken to clear it (using a
bottle brush or other suitable implement).
Occasionally it may be necessary to lubricate the pinch valve using
Pinch Valve Grease Part No. CL-6140
[1]
A small deposit of grease is
applied to the piston shaft and spread over the working surfaces by
manually moving the piston in and out.
It is always a good policy to maintain the Sampler and its accessories
in a generally clean condition bearing in mind the potential infection
hazards associated with wastewater.
Cleaning The Sample Tract
The method adopted to clean the sample tract will depend on how
sensitive the application is to cross contamination.
Most parts of the sample tract are easily accessible and can be
cleaned with a detergent and / or a cream cleaner such as “CIF”
using a suitable brush.
Inaccessible parts of the sample tract are usually flushed out with
clean water. Where the Sampler has to be completely free from the
contamination of previous sampling operations then replacement of
inaccessible parts is the only option.
The frequency of cleaning will depend very much on the application.
Initial operating experience with the Aquacell S50/S100/S200/
S300 Samplers will enable you to decide how frequently the sample
tract needs to be cleaned in order to ensure that reliable and
representative samples are always available.
[1] Caution - use only genuine Aquamatic parts, otherwise
serious damage may result.
