4 Select 3 min Tenax Conc Cleanout and press SEL.
5 The system will raise the column temperature to 150 °C, which will take a few
minutes. When all the zones are heated the Run Method prompt will be
displayed on the front panel of the HAPSITE.
6 Press the RUN button on the Front Panel or on the Probe. This run will take four
minutes to complete. The progress of the run can be seen on the Front Panel.
NOTE: The MAX_TIC number on the top left of the LCD must be less than
500,000 for the concentrator tube to be considered clean. If the
MAX_TIC number is greater than 500,000, repeat the 3 min Tenax
Conc Cleanout method until the MAX TIC number is less than
500,000.
7 When the 3 min Carbon Conc Cleanout method is completed and the
MAX_TIC count is less than 500,000, press ESC to exit the method. The
system is now clean enough to run the Air 15 min Carbon Conc method.
8 Highlight the Air 15 min Tenax Conc menu option by using the up or down
arrows in the Concentrator Menu and then press SEL.
9 The software will check the pressures and temperatures and prompt when
ready to run a sample.
10 Hold the Probe over the sample and press RUN from the Front Panel or the
probe.
HINT: The sampling process takes two minutes — one minute to flush the
system and one minute to collect the sample. The probe needs to be
held over the sample for the entire two minutes while the Sample Pump
is running. In the bottom left corner, LinePurge and Concfill appear on
the Front Panel display during this two minute period.
