The RCS
High Flow Touch Microbial Air Sampler is
equipped with a standard thread for attachment of
a tripod or a table-top tripod at the bottom of the
instrument. The tripod thread is protected against
fluid entry with a protective screw. Tripods are used
for the following applications:
• The table-top tripod allows for a safe stand
on uneven surfaces during horizontal instal-
lations
• The table-top tripod will minimize vibrations
on very smooth surfaces during horizontal
installations
• The tripod allows for sampling procedures in
heights of up to three meters
Prior to attachment of a tripod or table top tripod
the protective screw at the bottom of the instru-
ment must be removed by using a phillips screw-
driver.
NOTE
It is recommended to always protect the tripod
thread with the protective screw when no tripod
is connected.
It is recommended to protect the tripod thread
with the protective screw during disinfection or
cleaning procedures in order to avoid fluid entry.
