Cautions Before Proceeding

Isopropyl Alcohol is hazardous material. Do not ingest
or allow alcohol to contact your eyes or skin. Refer to
the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) located in the
box of alcohol for handling precautions and first aid
procedures.
Note: Always recap alcohol containers immediately to prevent
absorption of moisture and the escape of fumes.
C a u t i o n
!
The CO sensor in some models of TSI IAQ monitors may be
adversely affected when exposed to isopropyl alcohol vapors
released from TSI instruments utilizing condensation particle
counting (CPC) technology. For maximum performance, keep
CO sensors away from CPC-based instruments utilizing
isopropyl alcohol.
The P-T
RAK
®
particle counter consumes high-purity isopropyl alcohol at
a rate of about 1 ml per hour. The alcohol is used to grow microscopic
particles in the air into larger droplets that are easier to detect and count.
Refer to the TSI web site, for details on how the P-T
RAK
®
particle
counter works ( www.tsi.com ).
The isopropyl alcohol that is required to properly operate the P-T
RAK
®
particle counter must be very high purity "reagent grade" alcohol.
Isopropyl alcohol that is available from pharmacies, drug stores, or
other consumer outlets is low purity and usually contains significant
percentages of water and other substances that can damage the P-T
RAK
®
particle counter.
Note: It is essential to use isopropyl alcohol that is 99.5% pure
or better. Do
not use isopropyl alcohol from any source
other than TSI or a TSI-approved supplier. Problems
caused by the use of unapproved alcohol are
not covered
under warranty.
Maintaining an adequate alcohol supply inside the P-
T
RAK
®
particle counter is critical to its operation and
requires strict adherence to the directions that follow.
