1.5 Vapor Purge
The Micro TOL is equipped with a continuous vapor purge system. A replaceable
desiccant pouch in the lower portion of the instrument dries the air. System heat is used to
warm the air. A fan inside the instrument continuously circulates heated dry air around the
optical well and the flow through cuvette. This feature eliminates the need for a dry purge
line.
The Micro TOL monitors the replaceable desiccant pouch condition continuously. The
LCD display will show DESC on the lower line in the event that the desiccant pouch
needs replacement. Replacement desiccant pouches are available from HF scientific or the
local representative (Part # 21555R). Refer to section 10.2 Replacing or installing the
Desiccant Pouch.
The desiccant can activate an alarm to notify the operator of a saturated desiccant. See
section 7.15 Desiccant Alarm.
Note: Prior to installing the desiccant pouch for the first time the shipping support must be
removed. This tube can be discarded after installation.
