Checking the scope of delivery Checking the scope of delivery The ContaminationTest Module CTM-EF comes packed and ready to be connected. Before commissioning, please check the scope of delivery to make sure it has not been damaged during transport and that it is complete. Designation ContaminationTest Module CTM-EF Technical documentation, consisting of:...
Functional principle Functional principle The CTM-EF module is an extraction module for component sampling using rinse extraction. This module may be used with the CTM-SC-1xxx, CTU 1x4x-x-x-F, CTU 1x4x-x-x-A supply modules. These components are rinsed off in a test liquid with a defined cleanliness. At the end of the sampling process, the entire liquid with its particle load is sucked via the membrane retainer.
Functional principle Blank values The achievable blank values depend largely on the ambient conditions, the frequency of use, the rinsing volume, etc. Parameters for cleaning Automatic Manual Center CTM-EF 12xx eliminated nozzle Center CTM-EF 14xx eliminated nozzle Center Flat CTM-EB 12xx nozzle spray...

Preparing the CTM-EF for operation Preparing the CTM-EF for operation Positioning the CTM-EF The CTM-EF can be moved into the required location on its own casters. The CTM-EF has 4 casters. Before pushing, release the hand brake on the casters. When you have positioned and aligned the CTM-EF, set the brakes on the casters.
Preparing the CTM-EF for operation Connecting the CTM-EF The CTM-EF is delivered ready-to-connect. Before starting it up please note or check the following: • Read the installation and maintenance instructions for this module, the CTM-SC-1xxx, CTU 1x4x-x-x-F, CTU 1x4x-x-x-A, the instruction manuals for the CTM-SC-1xxx, CTU 1x4x-x-x-F, CTU 1x4x-x-x-A software carefully.
Operating filter membrane holder / Removing filter membrane Operating filter membrane holder / Removing filter membrane Filter membrane holder CTMH (ContaminationTest Membrane Holder) The design presses the filter membrane in the lower part (2) of the filter membrane holder function-tight to the upper part. The CTMH filter membrane holder has three height positions for threefold cascading.

Changing the filter membrane Changing the filter membrane The ball valve on the filter membrane holder serves as an emergency isolation valve. Carrying out the replacement Before you remove the filter membrane, the analysis liquid must have been completely sucked away. Hold the holder with one hand on the lower part.

Changing the filter membrane If three cascades are mounted, the screen must be moved to the uppermost position. Tighten the lock 90° in the clockwise direction. Do not use any tools! CTM-EF 1x3x Series Page 34 / 52 BeWa CTM-EF 1x3x 4365310 en-us 2018-06-06.docx 2018-06-06...
Changing the filter membrane Labeling the filter membrane Label the filter membrane that you just removed using a clear & logical system. An example of labeling filter membranes: xyz-1-A-005 Current sample series, component designation Number of membranes created for a measurement series If several equivalent rinsing operations are to be performed for a component, A, B, C and Z are used for creating a random sample.
Starting up the module Starting up the module Clean-Room Conditions in the Analysis Chamber - Rinsing of the inner chamber Before starting a contamination test series, the analysis chamber has to be cleaned in a defined manner by volume or time using the inner chamber rinsing program.

Performing maintenance Maintenance work The maintenance and servicing to be performed periodically is described in the following. The products serviceability, operational reliability and service life substantially depend on performing maintenance and servicing work regularly and carefully. Check all hoses for leaks or signs of brittleness Visually inspect the electrics.
Performing maintenance Clean the diffuser on the filter membrane holder Clean the filter membrane holder at least once a week. Open the coupling (1) and remove the diffuser (3). Clean the diffuser (3) by blowing it out with compressed air. Put the diffuser into the filter membrane holder and screw the coupling (1) finger tight.
