What to know about maintaining your Black Carbon Module for reliable long-term performance.
The Black Carbon Module is designed for low-maintenance operation. It allows for long-term continuous sampling of higher concentrations for up to a year, depending on the sampling environment conditions and instrument settings. To support this extended operation, 2 replacement tapes are provided free of charge every year.
- The main maintenance consideration is related to the Filter Tape Cartridge. It's important to note that every time the Black Carbon Module is power cycled, the Filter Tape Cartridge advances by one spot. To minimize tape waste, it's recommended to limit the number of power cycles.
- It is recommended that the Ozone Module be recalibrated every two years. This process requires sending the unit back to the manufacturer. Customers should contact support@clarity.io to initiate the process.
