6. Plug the female end of the power cord into the receptacle on the back of
the particle generator. Plug the male end into a grounded wall outlet and
turn on the power to the generator. The power switch is located next to
the power cord receptacle. See Figure 2-2.

You must run the particle generator in the testing room, with the door
closed, for at least 10 minutes before you begin fit testing to allow the
particle count to stabilize. You must operate the generator in an upright
position at all times, and leave it running until all fit tests for the day are
complete.
One reservoir full of salt solution will last from 8 to 16 hours, depending on
the generator setting. You can save and re-use the solution if you wish.
However, do not mix old solution with fresh solution. If you need to mix
new solution, first discard whatever remains in the reservoir.
If you wish to re-use the solution, be sure to detach the reservoir from the
generator, cover it tightly with the temporary cover, and store it in its
designated space inside the carrying case.
Caution
!
Never attempt to store the particle generator in the
carrying case with a full or partially-filled reservoir
attached, as the solution will leak out and damage the
generator and/or carrying case.
Operating the Model 8026 Particle Generator
The Model 8026 particle generator operates without intervention once you
turn on the power. However, you can adjust the output to increase particle
concentration.
