Degassing Equipment
37
The degassing equipment consists of a base and cup with
a porous filter and O-ring in the middle.
The degassing equipment comes as a single assembly, but
can be disassembled, and parts reordered if they require
replacement.
The filters do not have a shelf life as the longevity of the
component will be dictated by the test samples being used
with the degasser.
Replace Degasser Filter
Release the cup from the base by gently twisting the
1
cup anti-clockwise.
Remove the old filter disc and place the new one in the
2
base of the degasser with the red ring facing upward.
Place the O-ring seal in the cup. Press the seal into the
3
groove situated on the bottom of the cup.

Battery Information
Kemio is supplied with a rechargeable NiMH battery pack that
provide power for approximately 250 tests per charge and
approximately 500 charge cycles, for a total of approximately
125,000 tests before a battery change is required.
To save power, the instrument will dim the screen after 1 minute
and shut down after 2 minutes of inactivity. An indication of
the remaining battery life is displayed on the screen with the
battery status icon. When the battery life is too low to perform
a test, the unit will automatically shut down until charged to a
suitable level.
Charge Kemio using the supplied external charger or a standard
USB connection. The battery charging system provides a
controlled charge current based on the state of the battery and
the power source.
To maximize battery health of a new Kemio instrument, it is
recommended to drain the battery completely and then charge
it to 100% three times to condition the battery management
system.
The battery pack should only be replaced at a Palintest Service
Centre. Please contact: sales@palintest.com for details.
