Figure 5–5. Removing the Fan Filter
3. To clean the filter, either use compressed air to blow it clean or rinse it
thoroughly with warm water and let it dry. Compressed air can be used
to speed up the drying process.
4. Place the cleaned filter or a new filter into the filter housing. Replace
the grill on the filter housing by pressing it firmly until it snaps into
place.
5. Slide the FTIR drawer back into the rack, then use the Phillips
screwdriver to re-install the FTIR cover panel and its mounting screws
to complete the procedure.
The information that follows describes several hardware replacement
procedures for internal components of the FTIR analyzer. These
procedures include replacing the source and the laser, both of which have a
limited lifespan, and replacing the detector and beamsplitter, both of which
only need to be replaced if exposed to high levels of humidity for an
extended period of time.
Equipment Damage
Some internal components can be damaged by small
amounts of static electricity. A properly grounded antistatic wrist strap
must be worn while handling any internal components.

Important Note Although the system operator can perform these service
procedures, it is recommended that only our certified service engineers or
on-site maintenance personnel who have been trained by us perform these
operations. Whenever these procedures are performed, there is a potential
