Fire hazard. Do not use flammable agents to clean the instrument.
If water is not sufficient to clean the controller and the pump, disconnect the controller and move the
controller away from the sampler. Allow sufficient time for the controller and pump to dry before the
parts are re-installed and put back into service.
Clean the sampler as follows:
• Sampler enclosure—Clean the internal and external surfaces with a damp cloth and a mild
detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Sample bottles—Clean the bottles with a brush and water and a mild detergent. Rinse with fresh
water and then with distilled water. Use an autoclave to clean glass bottles if necessary.

desiccant color through the window. Refer to Figure 13. Fresh desiccant is orange. When the color is
green, replace the desiccant.
1. Unscrew and remove the desiccant cartridge. Refer to Figure 13.
2. Remove the plug and discard the spent desiccant.
3. Fill the desiccant tube with fresh desiccant.
4. Install the plug.
