RECHARGING THE BATTERY
!
Connect the charger to the instrument and to the power supply.
!
Verify that the light on the charger is lit and that the LED on the instrument is
off (instrument not sampling).
The charger’s male plug with three prongs can be plugged into the box’s female
jack in any position. The opposite prongs are connected together to form a sin-
gle pole.
The charging current (35 mA) is a little more than double the consumption of the
working instrument (of order 15 mA), meaning that taking a safety factor of two,
the normal time for recharging is roughly equal to the collection time. There is
however no risk in leaving the instrument connected to the charger. Also, from a
practical perspective, when doing systematic measurements, the simplest solu-
tion consists of putting the instrument on the charger after collection and leav-
ing it there during the idle time until the following collection.
The
CIP10 (or CIP10 M ) can be used either worn on an operator, or at a fixed
position over very long times (eight days for example for measurements in the
ambient environment), permanently connected to the charger. (The
charger/ CIP10 combination is not however intrinsically safe and must not be
used in explosive atmospheres.)
IN THE LABORATORY
AFTER COLLECTION
!
With the CIP10 (or CIP10 M ) kept in
an upright position, remove the head
from the instrument and carefully take
out the cup using a cup extractor. If
this is being done in advance, cover it
with its cover and take out the closed
container.
The CIP10 foam allows for gravimetry
(see Attachment A) or more specific
analysis: ash content, quartz, metals, etc.
(see Attachment B.).
After rinsing the cup three times as sug-
gested, the CIP10 M collection solution
can then be recovered, potentially diluted
and analyzed by a counting technique
(culturing) or identification (PCR, epifluo-
rescence, ATP assay, etc.). Rinsing the CIP 10 M cup
