  • Page 26: Design Limitations

    This product employs a very low-power aspirator and the aspirating capability of the AutroSense Micra 100 detector is limited accordingly. AutroSense Micra 100 is NOT intended to protect large areas, or to sample from areas where there may be any difference in airflow rates or pressure differentials.

  • Page 28: System Design

    Complex sampling pipe runs should be avoided with the AutroSense Micra 100 detector. The use of ‘T’ branch-pipes is not recommended. The AutroSense Micra 100 detector is fitted with two sampling pipe inlets as standard. It is always preferable to use two shorter pipes as opposed to one longer pipe.

  • Page 42: Maintenance

    Maintenance 11. Maintenance AutroSense Micra 100 is a very low maintenance detection system. If required, external cleaning of the unit should be performed using a damp (not wet) cloth. Do not use solvents as these may mar the front panel label. The only part that may require field replacement during servicing is the dust separator assembly.
