Getting Started

Assembling Cyclone with Cassette (Figure 1)
The GS-3 Cyclone is supplied fully assembled with bowl adapter and 37 or 25-mm
cassett e adapter dependent upon model (Cat. Nos. 225-100 and 225-103, respectively).
Replacement cassett e adapters are available, allowing the user to adapt whichever
model they are using to another cassett e size.
1. Disassemble a three-piece cassett e and set aside inlet section (usually marked
"inlet"). Keep inlet section for closing the cassett e after sampling.
2. Select a fi lter and support pad as specifi ed in the sampling method. Place
support pad into cassett e outlet and place fi lter on top of support pad. Insert
cassett e ring (middle) section into cassett e outlet. Ensure a fi rm seal.
3. Hold cyclone upside down (cassett e adapter facing downward). Insert cassett e
adapter into cassett e middle ring section. Press until a fi rm seal is established.
4. Ensure thumbscrew on cyclone is secure and that the grit pot remains on the
cyclone body during calibration and sampling.
Inserting Cyclone/Cassette Assembly in Cassette Holder (Figure 2)
