Maintenance and Performance Checks
There are no user-serviceable items in the MiniCapt Remote Microbial Air Sampler. You
can, however, clean the sampler’s housing, replace batteries, repair or replace cables
and cable connectors.
Cleaning the Sampler’s Housing
WARNING
Disconnect the power cord from its power source.
The sample probe must be capped before the instrument is sterilized by means
of liquid, spray, or mist. Turn the pump off before capping the sample probe.
The MiniCapt Remote Microbial Air Sampler is housed in a 316 stainless steel enclosure
and should provide many years of trouble-free performance. Periodically it may be
helpful to wipe the case with a clean, lint-free cloth moistened with deionized water or
a mild cleanser.
Cable Connectors
Occasionally a cable connector may be damaged through an accident. The RS-232 and
UTP Ethernet connections are somewhat fragile. If a connector is damaged, be careful
not to aggravate the problem by forcing a cable into a damaged connector. A Particle
Measuring Systems Service Representative can repair or replace damaged connectors.
