Introduction
1.1 The HAPSITE Smart Plus System
The HAPSITE® Smart Plus Portable Gas Chromatograph and Mass Spectrometer
(GC/MS) is designed to measure volatile organic hazardous air pollutants at
parts-per-trillion (PPT) levels, using pre-programmed sets of instructions known as
"methods". By operating on battery power using self-contained Carrier Gas and
Internal Standard Gas supplies, the HAPSITE Smart Plus is specifically designed
to collect and analyze samples while in the field. Results can be viewed on-site, as
they are displayed on the front panel and saved on the system’s hard drive.
Through the use of a USB drive, crossover cable or wireless connection, results
can also be downloaded to a separate Laptop (PC) for analysis.
NOTE: This manual is specifically for the HAPSITE Smart Plus. The terms
"HAPSITE" and "HAPSITE Smart Plus" are used throughout this manual
to refer to the HAPSITE Smart Plus.
Several hardware modules comprise the HAPSITE Smart Plus system:
HAPSITE . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Often referred to as the Analytical Module
(AM). The AM contains the Gas
Chromatograph, Mass Spectrometer,
cylinders of Carrier Gas and Internal
Standard Gas, High-vacuum Chemical Pump
(for portable operation), control electronics,
Battery, Keypad, Display, and a Battery
Charger.
Probe . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Also known as the Hand Control Unit, this
consists of a hand piece and a heated inlet
line. The hand piece contains a small display
and buttons. The inlet line connects to the
HAPSITE and provides a flexible heated
sample flow path to the HAPSITE.
Service Module . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Also known as the SM, the Service Module
contains the turbo-molecular high-vacuum
pump, the roughing pump, the mechanism
for operating the interconnecting valve, a
battery-charger and a power supply.
