Cleaning the Cyclone
The 10-mm Nylon Dorr-Oliver Cyclone should be cleaned prior to each use.
In most cases, simply cleaning the grit pot will be all that is needed. Inspect
the inside of the cyclone body regularly and clean it if necessary.
1. Detach the cyclone from the D
USTTRAK monitor.
2. Unscrew the grit pot from the bottom of the cyclone and pull the top off
the cyclone by pulling on the plastic tubing.
3. Hold the open end of the grit pot down and tap it on a hard surface to
dislodge particles. Repeat with the cyclone body.
Note: If dirt is visible inside either the grit pot or the cyclone body, it
may be necessary to blow compressed air into the cyclone
parts and/or to clean them with soap and water. A mild solvent
like isopropanol may also be used. Make certain that the
cyclone is perfectly dry before using it.
4. Re-assemble the cyclone. Refer to Figure 4–5 below. The cyclone
cleaning procedure is now completed.

Storage Precautions
When storing the D
USTTRAK monitor for more than 30 days, you should
remove the batteries. This prevents damage due to battery leakage.
This instrument must be stored in a location where the temperature remains
between –20 and 60°C (–4 and 140°F).
