How to compliance audit check a Trolex AirXD

1. Introduction

The AirXD has been designed with an inbuilt compliance audit routine/test to allow for the infrequent checking of device functionality against a selection of sized reference particulates.

The on-device compliance audit routine must be carried out using the Trolex Compliance Audit Kit, which contains the accessories required to conduct the procedure, including:

• Particle dispersion hood

• Reference particle sizes (reference material)

• Dosing bottle

• Carry case
  The following on-device compliance audit check menu sequence will be presented.

2. Perform Compliance Check

• To perform a compliance check, goto Settings -> Maintenance -> Compliance Test as shown below:

• Follow the on-device instructions and select the reference material size required from the Choose PM Size menu.
• The AirXD will reset the memory module in preparation to perform the test. An on-device message will be displayed Resetting Memory Module - Please Wait...
• Following the reset, the AirXD will prompt a clean down. It is important to ensure that the AirXD particulate inlet has been cleaned before selecting “Yes” and proceeding with the test.
• Ensure that the AirXD top cap is open and select “Yes” to proceed.
• Once it is confirmed that the top cap is open, the AirXD will prompt the fitting of the particulate dispersion hood that is supplied with the Trolex Compliance Audit Kit. It is important to ensure that the particulate dispersion hood is fitted to the AirXD as shown below and that the dosing opening is accessible. 

• Before selecting “Yes” to continue, ensure that the particulate dosing bottle is filled with the required reference material and ready to be presented to the AIR XD.

  

• After selecting Yes from the Fit Particulate Hood screen, use the particulate dosing bottle containing the required size reference material to dose the particulate dispersion hood for the first 10 seconds of the compliance audit check. Note: It is important to dose the AirXD unit with several measures of the reference particulate material during the first 10 seconds of the compliance audit check.

  

• The AirXD will continue to count down and analyse the sample particulate dose for the remain test time frame.

• On sampling completion, the AirXD will return an on-screen Pass or Fail result based on the test results and sampled reference particulate.

• On return of a test result, and completion of the compliance audit test, the AirXD will restart the memory module and revert to sampling function/data logging mode. Note: Users may be required to clean the particle dispersion hood between compliance audit tests.
