The audit cassettes include an open test cassette p/n 36-012077 and a
blocked test filter cassette p/n 36-012078. Prior to installing the filters
or solid leak check discs in the cassettes, clean the filter cassettes with a
clean cloth and alcohol to remove any oil or other material. Prepare the
external leak check cassettes by installing clean, unused 47 mm filters
into the filter cassette. Place the filter cassettes with 47 mm filters
installed into the filter cassette carrier. Prepare the internal leak check
cassette by installing a solid disk (36-004768) into the clean filter
cassette.

If the Sampler is not already on, turn on the Sampler by pressing the
power switch on the main panel to its “ON” position. The Sampler
may be in the Stop Mode or in audit mode to perform the verification
audits. If the Sampler is in the Stop Mode proceed with the verification
audit. If the Sampler is running a sample and an audit must be
performed, interrupt the sample by entering the audit mode. When the
audit is completed, replace the current sample filter and resume the
sample.
3.
Enter the Audit mode by pressing
, scrolling to Audit and
Calibration, and pressing
to display the Audit and Calibration
menu. With the cursor at Audit Mode, press
to display the
Audit Mode screen, press
to enter the Audit mode, and press
to confirm the setting. Press
to return to the Audit and
Calibration menu.
4.
If a sample filter is installed in the Sampler, remove the currently
installed sample filter, in its filter cassette carrier, from the Sampler and
store in the sample carrier box until the end of the audit.
Use the following procedure to verify the ambient temperature measured
by the Sampler:
1.
Determine the current temperature (°C) at the ambient temperature
sensor using an external thermometer [°C = 5/9 x (°F - 32)].
2.
Verify that the value of Amb Temp displayed in the Audit screen is
within ±2 °C of the measured temperature. If the value is not within
the limits, perform a calibration when the Sampler is not in Sample
mode.
