USAGE
16
The
CIP10 M
can operate in any position. The collection solution is effectively
flattened against the inside walls of the rotating cup by centrifugal force.
However, before starting up, the
CIP10
and must be kept upright to avoid
spilling any fluid.
Because of the cup’s rotational moment of inertia, the
CIP10 M
must also be
maintained upright and stay that way for several tens of seconds before stopping.
ON SITE
Before starting or stopping the
CIP10 M
must be kept in an upright position to
avoid spilling any of the collection fluid.
!
Start the instrument, verify that the power-on light is lit, note the time and
place the instrument on the operator whose exposure is going to be meas-
ured.
!
At the end of the time on the job, check that the power-on light is still lit. Stop
the instrument and note the time.
!
Take the unit to the laboratory for maintenance and analysis of the collected
material.
It’s also possible to take out the rotating cup (see AT THE LABORATORY AFTER
COLLECTION), close it with its marked lid, and only send the closed container
to the laboratory for analysis. The site must then have an appropriate area for
maintenance of the instruments remaining at the site.
TRANSPORT
The
CIP10
does not require any specific
precaution for its transportation. All the
same it is recommended to transport it
in an upright position when the rotating
cup has not been immediately removed
on site. In fact this vertical position
guards against any loss of dust present
in the
CIP10
’s foam or any loss of col-
lection fluid with the
CIP10 M
When transporting the closed sample
container or sending it by mail, it must
be carefully referenced, closed and
wrapped.
