6.3. MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
The following procedures are to be performed periodically as part of the standard
maintenance of the Model T360.
6.3.1. Replacing the Sample Particulate Filter
The particulate filter should be inspected often for signs of plugging or
contamination. We recommend that when you change the filter, handle it and the
wetted surfaces of the filter housing as little as possible. Do not touch any part of
the housing, filter element, PTFE retaining ring, glass cover and the o-ring.
To change the filter:
1. Turn OFF the analyzer to prevent drawing debris into the instrument.
2. Open the T360’s hinged front panel and unscrew the knurled retaining ring
on the filter assembly.

3. Carefully remove the retaining ring, PTFE o-ring, glass filter cover and filter
element.
4. Replace the filter, being careful that the element is fully seated and centered
in the bottom of the holder.
5. Re-install the PTFE o-ring with the notches up, install the glass cover, then
screw on the retaining ring and hand tighten. Inspect the seal between the
edge of filter and the o-ring to assure a proper seal.
6. Restart the Analyzer.
