Storing the GasCalm when Not In Use
When the GasClam 2 is not in use it should be cleaned thoroughly, run for several cycles in clean preferably dry
air, the batteries removed and placed in the instrument case. If it is intended to store the Unit for a longer period
it is recommended to replace the caps on the barbs to stop moisture and dust ingression. When storing for a longer
period (more than 3 month) the GasClam 2 should be fitted with 2x 1.5 V Alkaline-Manganese Duracell - MN1300
(Alk-Mn) batteries to ensure the functionality of the electronics
Filter Management
Below 30°C the bottom indicator turns pink after approximately 40% of
filter life and the top turns pink after 50% of filter life. For 15°C and 90%
RH, the indicators will change in accordance to the table below. Above
30°C and high humidity the indicators on the Moisture Filter correspond
to less samples.

To assess if the filter needs to be replaced when the batteries are
changed inspect the filter indicators. If both indicators are blue, the filter
does not have to be replaced. The table below shows what actions to
take depending on the state of the top and bottom indicators with
respect to temperature and humidity.

Check GasClam 2 for signs of moisture in the unit.
Contact local service centre if there are any signs
of moisture within the GasClam 2 or tubing.
If sampling in the same borehole again reduce
the total number of samples taken so both
indicators do not turn pink.
If both indicators turn pink after 1 battery life (670 samples) contact your local supplier for sampling advice.
