Upper and Lower Cassette Seals
- Inspect the seals that rest against the
filter cassette every time a filter is exchanged. Wipe the seals with a clean
dry cloth as required. Inspect the seals once a year for drying and cracking,
and replace them if necessary (22-002182). (22-005958 (top seal) and 22-
005957 (bottom seal)).
External Leak Check
- Perform an external leak check after every 5 days of
inlet usage.
Internal Leak Check
- Perform an internal leak check after every 4 weeks or
every month of inlet usage.
PM-10 Inlet
- Clean the PM
10
inlet after every 30 days of use.The inlet
must be cleaned when the unit is not sampling.
In-line Filter
- Exchange the large in-line filter in the Sampler every six
months of operation (32-002643). Turn off the Sampler prior to replacing
the filter.
Rain hoods and Air Screens
- Clean the air screens located under the
Sampler’s rain hoods every 6 months, or as necessary.
Pump
- The pump has a lifetime of approximately 12-18 months. If the
pump’s performance deteriorates, it should be rebuilt using the Pump
Rebuild Kit (59-012071) (one kit is required for each rebuild), or replaced
with a new pump.
In addition to routine maintenance, see the following for Partisol 2000

VSCC Cyclone
- Clean the VSCC every 30 days of sampling. The
cyclone must be cleaned when the unit is not sampling.
WINS PM

Impactor
- Clean or change out the impactor well of the
WINS PM
2.5
impactor after every five sampling days. The impactor must
be cleaned when the unit is not sampling.

Virtual Impactor
- Clean the virtual impactor every 30 days to
prevent contamination and to maintain proper performance. The virtual
impactor must be cleaned when the unit is not sampling.
Thermo Fisher Scientific recommends that users clean their size-selective
inlets every 14 days of sampling to prevent contamination and to maintain
proper performance. This includes the PM
10
inlet, the VSCC or other
Cyclone, and the WINS impactor. Remove all inlets from the unit, clean
