1. Carefully remove the Teflon disk with a sharp object
such as pair of tweezers or point of a knife. The Teflon
Disk should be handled around the edges as much as
possible, and always kept free of dust and moisture.
Should the disk get wet, allow it to air dry for 24 hours
before continuing use of the instrument.
2. Hold the sensor head open and use a dry swab to clean
out the diffusion path. Swabs are included with your kit.
Do not use a damp swab, alcohol or other organic liq-
uids to clean the diffusion path! Direct contact with
water on the sensors as well as chemical vapors can
cause damage!
3. Reinsert the Teflon Disk. Remember to handle around
edges as much as possible. Use something dry to press
the filter completely into its counter bore. If the Teflon
Disk becomes damaged discard and replace. Five
replacement disks are included, if additional disks are
need please contact Decagon Devices.
