HAPSITE Smart Plus Operating Manual

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.
