All use of this publication and ChipCHECK by user shall be subject to the restrictions and conditions as set out in this publication. 

 

Remove the Containment Window from its housing by carefully lifting the metallic cover 
located on top of the Sample Receptacle.  This cover is held in place by magnets.  As a result, 
a vertical lift shall remove the lid from the assembly.  Be sure to not apply much force to the 
Receptacle assembly. 

 

Place the Containment Window on a non-abrasive, lint free cloth/paper, with its bottom face 
pointing upwards (i.e.: the face of the Containment Window that is exposed to the 
contaminants placed in a manner that will allow for it to be cleaned). 

 

During this process ensure to not touch the surface of the Containment Window with bare 
fingers.  Gloves are required. 

 

Place one or two drops of Isopropyl Alcohol on the exposed face of the Containment 
Window. 

 

Gently place the non-abrasive, lint free cloth/paper onto the Isopropyl Alcohol and allow for 
a few seconds for the Isopropyl to propagate through the cloth. 

 

Carefully and slowly drag the Isopropyl soaked cloth over the surface of the Containment 
Window (pulling parallel to the exposed surface of the Containment Window ensuring no 
pressure is applied to the window itself). 

 

Repeat these steps as required. 

 

Once the Containment Window is clean, place it back onto the Sample Receptacle ensuring 
that the Containment Window is properly seated on the centering features of the 
Receptacle. 

 

During this process ensure to not touch the surface of the Containment Window with bare 
fingers.  Gloves are required. 

 

Carefully place the metallic cover back over the seated Containment Window – ensure that 
the cover is fully seated against the (note that the Containment Window metallic cover can 
only be assembled in one orientation). 

 

Lastly, return to the software interface and press the ‘Maintenance Complete’ button. 

 

The full Sample Receptacle will automatically re-insert itself back into the ejection position. 

 

Replace the Sample Tray, and return to the ‘Welcome’ screen for normal operation. 

6.1.3 Replacing the Fuse  

In the event that a fuse requires replacement, then the following procedure must be followed.   

WARNING:  

Disconnect supply before servicing (note that service/servicing can only be completed by 
Gastops authorized technicians).   

Disconnect supply before replacing fuse.
