7.2 Training Courses 

Munro Instruments can offer training courses in air sampler maintenance and calibration, adapted to your 
exact needs. These can be at our premises or on site, and may be of particular interest to users who cannot 
easily return samplers to Munro Instruments for servicing and re-calibration. Courses can be at user level, 
including first line servicing or at a more advanced level, including stripping down and resetting of pumps, 
testing and recalibration. These skills can form the basis of regular preventive maintenance programmes. 
Please contact the address on the front of this manual for details of courses.
