How to Shut Down the Fast CPC for Moving or Shipping

If you need to move the Fast CPC to another lab or facility, or ship it for
service, read this section to familiarize yourself with the precautions you
should take and the procedures you should follow.
Performing any of the following improper handling techniques may damage
the instrument and will invalidate the warranty:
▪
Do not operate the Fast CPC at angles greater than >15.
▪
You must drain the Fast CPC before you ship it. Do not ship an
undried/undrained device back to Kanomax FMT, Inc.: doing so might
damage the device and invalidate the warranty.
▪
Do not subject an undrained device to freezing temperatures: doing so
might damage the device and invalidate the warranty.
To prepare the Fast CPC for shipping, follow these instructions:
1. Disconnect and remove the n-Butanol fill bottle then empty it into an
appropriate container. (Note: To preserve the n-butanol, swap the supply
and exhaust connections so that the supply is drawing from the top of the
bottle and the exhaust is feeding the bottom.)
2. Set the butanol flow in Prime mode.
3. Place the empty bottle back in the bracket and reconnect.
4. Operate the Fast CPC until the counts on the Device Status screen read 0.
5. Disconnect the aerosol supply from either the Aerosol In fitting on the
front panel or from the high-performance aerosol inlet (beneath the
instrument).
6. Disconnect the exhaust and make-up air tubing.
7. Replace the aerosol inlet adapter elbow if not already in place.
8. Turn off the power and unplug the power cable.
9. Place all the caps that you received with the instrument on the inlets and
outlets to prevent contaminants from entering the instrument. Note: If
you did not save the original protective caps, find suitable alternatives.
10. The Fast CPC is now prepared for shipping or moving.
11. Place the instrument in its original packing materials for shipping.
