General System Maintenance
Cleaning the Instrument
Exterior surfaces may be cleaned with a soft cloth, dampened with a mild detergent
and water solution. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
Air Filters
To ensure that the electrical components in the spectrometer and the RF generator
are properly cooled, check the air filters regularly to see if they are clogged or dirty.
There are two air filters on the instrument as shown in Figure 5-34. The one filter is
for the RF generator and the other for the spectrometer.
Changing the RF Generator Air Filter
Two generator air filters are provided with the instrument. Refer to Figure 5-34.
1. Remove the filter from the back of the instrument.
2. Clean or replace the filter. The filter may be washed with water, but replacing it
with the other filter provided is recommended. This insures that a completely dry
filter is in the instrument.
3. When replacing the filter make sure that the fine screen side is towards the
instrument, with the open mesh facing the outside of the instrument.
Replacement RF generator air filters (Part No. N0775220) are included in the spares
kit.
