Troubleshooting

The MicroBio MB1 will give many years of trouble-free service with minimal
routine maintenance.
answers relating to the use of the MicroBio MB1 Bioaerosol Sampler.
Q. The unit will not switch
A. Check the batteries are inserted correctly and fully charged. If this
does not resolve the situation, please contact technical support.
Q. The sampler cuts out and switches off during sampling.
A. This is due to exhausted or low quality batteries. Replace batteries or
recharge. Low quality cells may present a high terminal voltage, but as
soon as a load is applied, this will drop drastically under load below a
point where the sampler will not function properly.
Q. The sampling head fits loosely.
A. There is a retaining spring inside the sampling head area that keeps
the head tight. This may, with time and use, have moved. Loosen the
screw, slide the spring to the edge of the sampling head plate and re-
tighten. Try this until a secure fit is obtained.
Q. The contact plate or petri dish fits loosely.
A. With time the springs that hold them in place may have loosened.
Undo the screws, move the springs and re-tighten until a secure hold of
the plate / dish is obtained. There is variation in the outside diameter of
plates from one manufacturer to another. The MicroBio MB1 holding
springs can be adjusted to accommodate this variation.
