Filter:
Use only distilled water with FlowTrax for proper operation, accuracy and longevity of the device.
Cleaning the filter is easy to do and is recommended at least once every 90 days. An extensive design effort went
into making the FlowTrax filter assembly field removable to simplify cleaning / maintenance.
Units configured with Removable Input Luer:
a)
Turn input luer counterclockwise to remove it from the unit.
b)
Inside the threaded side of the Input luer there is a white filter screen. Using a blunt tool, insert into the input
luer to remove filter.
c)
Hold up screen up to indoor lighting to inspect for debris. Using brush provided, clean filter then rinse with
distilled water. If debris cannot be removed, replace with spare filter included with accessories.
d)
Insert filter into threaded side of input luer using blunt tool. Verify filter completely covers opening of input
luer, if not, remove and reinstall. IMPORTANT: Verify input luer is tightened so red dot on Luer is set to 12
o’clock position to ensure a secure fit and avoid leaks.
Units configured with Filter Drawer at bottom of Unit:
a)
Place FlowTrax output hose into collection container.
b)
Expel all water from FlowTrax by pressing the “FUNCTION” button on FlowTrax, then Press “CLEAN
GLASS” button.
c)
Place FlowTrax horizontally on its back.
d)
Remove filter drawer assembly located at the bottom of the surface (See Figure 1) of FlowTrax with a small
flathead screw driver.
e)
Inspect filter element for contamination and or corrosion.
f)
Contaminants can be blown out of the filter element by using compressed gas such as Dust-Off
®
, or back-
flushed over sink using a faucet. (See Figure 2)
g)
Once contaminants and/or corrosion is removed,
wet both sides of the filter drawer including the O-rings with
distilled water to lubricate.
Re-install filter drawer assembly. NOTE: Ensure correct orientation of filter
drawer assembly, before re-installing. If installed backwards, FlowTrax will leak and cause errors in
flow/volume measurements.
Clean the Product (Outside)
To clean the outside of the FlowTrax, disconnect from the power supply and use only a damp cloth with
mild detergent.
