5.1
STORAGE
The Gilibrator 2 is designed so that little maintenance is
required. However, periodic cleaning, calibration and
replacement of the Damper Diaphragm on the Wet Cell
Assembly may be required to ensure years of trouble-
free operation.
• Short-Term
Turn Off the Control Unit, the sampling source, and
any attached output devices (if applicable).
If the unit is to be used daily, remove the air sampler
connection. If using a Wet Cell Assembly, connect the
Storage Tubing to both the Air Outlet Boss (upper)
and Air Inlet Boss (lower). Plug in the battery charger
and connect it to the Control Unit Charging Jack. Re-
charge the unit overnight (14 hours) for next day us-
age.
• Long-Term
If the Gilibrator is not to be used for long periods of
time, use the following procedures to keep the unit in
proper working order.
1)
Disconnect the Cable Assembly from the connec-
tor on the Cell Assembly.
2)
Remove the Cell Assembly from the Control Unit
(Base) in the reverse order in which it was
mounted.
3)
(Wet Cell only) Pour the soap solution out of the
Flow Cell through the Air Inlet Boss. To do this,
hold the Wet Cell Assembly horizontally (Air Inlet
Boss closest to ground), and then tilt the assembly
until the Air Inlet Boss is tipped downward at a
45
°
angle.
4)
(Wet Cell only) Continue holding the Flow Cell
Assembly horizontally until all of the soap solu-
tion has poured out.

PISTON CELL MAINTENANCE
The Piston Cell Assembly is virtually maintenance free.
As such, the Piston Cell should not be disassembled.
In the rare event that maintenance on the Piston Cell
is needed, return the unit to the factory (see Appendix
C for information on obtaining a Returned Material
Authorization).
You should also return the unit to the factory annually
for calibration. Contact the Sensidyne Service Depart-
ment for an RMA number, information, and pricing
(refer to Appendix C).
