Cleaning the
Mass Transducer
and Sample Lines
To clean the mass transducer
and sample lines:
5-6 PDM3700 Instruction Manual
The mass transducer and sample lines should be cleaned daily, or after each
use.
Tool/materials needed for this procedure:
Canned air
●
Alcohol swab
●
Phillips screwdriver
●
Filter exchange tool
●
Inlet spanner tool
●
Silicone lubricant
●
Note The PDM 3700 is supplied with tubing of extra length (38 ± 0.5")
and must be trimmed before first use by the operator to meet agency
requirements (35–37"). The tubing must be checked prior to use each day
and may be trimmed due to breakage or fraying, but must always be
between 35–37" during use. If the tubing is shorter than 35" it must be
replaced. To measure the tubing, remove from the instrument and lay on a
flat surface. Straighten the tubing and measure the total length without
stretching the overall tubing length.
1. Disconnect the sample line from the inlet assembly
care to ensure that the tubing does not break during removal.
