Aerosol Instrument Manager
®
Software
Aerosol Instrument Manager software is supplied with the Model
3775 CPC. This program provides many useful data acquisition,
display, processing, and download functions used in particle
measurements. Review the supplied Aerosol Instrument Manager
software manual for complete information on software functions.
Moving and Shipping the CPC
Make sure the Model 3775 CPC is turned off and remains upright
while moving the instrument. There is no need to drain the CPC
before moving the CPC. Prior to shipping; however, it is necessary
to drain butanol from the instrument and dry the instrument. Refer
to “
Draining Butanol from the Butanol Reservoir” in Chapter 8 to
drain the CPC. Remove the saturator wick to expedite the drying
process. The Model 3775 CPC was designed so that the wick is
easily removed. Refer to the “
Removing and Installing the Saturator
Wick” section in Chapter 8. To dry the instrument without taking
the wick out, run the CPC continuously with the pump on for a
period of at least 12 hours. During drying, place a HEPA filter at
the inlet. It may take up to 60 hours to completely dry the
instrument so the particle concentration reads zero.
TSI recommends that you keep the original packaging (carton and
foam inserts) of the CPC for use whenever the CPC is shipped,
including when it is returned to TSI for service. Always seal off the
sampling inlet to prevent debris from entering the instrument and
drain and dry the CPC before shipping.
Caution
While the pump is on, do not tip the CPC more than 10° to any direction with the
water removal system ON. Do not tip the CPC more than 10° to the front (to
avoid overfilling the butanol reservoir) or 20° to other directions with the water
removal system OFF. It is recommended to turn off the CPC and disconnect the
butanol fill bottle before the CPC is being moved or tilted for longer than a few
seconds to prevent flooding of the sensor.
