Operational Check List
Before beginning field work, set up and calibrate MicroFID for
your particular application. Ensure the instrument is in working
order before heading into the field.
To prepare MicroFID for field work:
1. Ideally, you should not transport MicroFID with the
hydrogen cylinder filled. If it is possible to fill the internal
hydrogen cylinder when you arrive at your destination then
do so. If not, then you must fill the cylinder before you
leave and observe all precautions for handling compressed,
flammable gases. See Warnings and Safety Practices on
page 18.
If you are travelling by passenger aircraft, you must make
arrangements to fill the hydrogen cylinder when you arrive
at your destination. You cannot transport MicroFID by
passenger aircraft unless the internal hydrogen cylinder is
empty. See Emptying the Hydrogen Cylinder on page 110
more information.
2. Press the BATT key and ensure the battery pack is fully
charged. The voltage should be 9 volts.
3. Press the SETUP key and ensure the correct date and time
are entered.
