Cleaning of the Rotor

rotor is a precision part that influences the air flow
characteristics of the device all components must
be handled with special care.
If more than one rotor is taken apart special care
must be taken to not mix up parts. Please note that
the rotor cover and the rotor cylinder are labeled
with numbers. For corresponding parts these num-
bers must be identical.
NOTE
After the rotor has been taken apart and reassem­
bled a calibration of the rotor is recommended.
It is recommended to
occasionally clean the
rotor thoroughly. For
this, cleaning of the
complete rotor in an ul-

Lithium-ion Battery

®
The RCS High Flow Touch Microbial Air Sampler
is equipped with an integrated Lithium-ion battery.
The total capacity of the battery is slowly reduced
over a longer time period. Thus, it is recommended
to check the battery capacity periodically. The
battery should be exchanged if the capacity is not
sufficient for the daily measurements.
