9. If the spill cup is not damaged, install it once it has dried.

NOTE:

Replacement of the spill cup will require calibration of the IR as outlined in this manual.

10. Replace the attenuator and continue operation.

ActiVent

The ActiVent should be cleaned on a weekly basis or when venting occurs. There are two potential cleaning procedures,
as outlined below.

APM Cleaning

1. If applicable, remove the Discover from underneath the Explorer autosampler module.

Note

: Refer to the Explorer Operation Manual for instructions on removal of the Discover module.

2. Press the HOME key until the “Discover Home” screen appears.

3. Use the “+/-” keys to highlight “System Setup.”
4. Press the ENTER key. A new screen will appear.
