3.2 Remove Fluid from Pneumatic Unit Trap Chamber
At the end of each day's analyses, check the fluid level in the pneumatic unit trap
chamber. Discard any fluid that has collected.
WARNING! The contents in the Trap Chamber should be considered potentially
biohazardous. Do not handle the Trap Chamber without proper
protective equipment. Wear rubber gloves when discarding the
fluid. Wash your hands with an antiseptic solution after completing
the procedure.
(1) Turn OFF the power to the Main Unit. Wait at least 30 seconds to release the
pressure and vacuum accumulated in the pneumatic lines.
(2) Verify that the pneumatic gauges on the Pneumatic Unit front show the zero level.
(3) Turn the trap chamber counterclockwise and remove. See Figure below.
