19. opposite page 1 2 SCOPE OF THIS MANUAL This manual provides operating instructions for the APD 2000 information on the safe use and care of the equipment troubleshooting procedures and directions for contacting the manufacturer for warranty work repairs and service The manual assumes that the reader has been trained in first response to emergencies in which chemical agent irritant and or radiation is alleged suspected or known to be present 1 3 PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION The APD 2000 automatically detects and identifies chemical warfare agents or irritants such as mace and pepper spray and provides a warning that agents or irritants are present in the atmosphere The APD 2000 detects and identifies agents based on a technology called ion mobility spectrometry IMS An internal pump draws air into the APD 2000 through the nozzle on the front of the unit The air passes by a heated membrane inside the APD 2000 and then exits back into the atmosphere through the nozzle Any agent or irritant vapor in the air passes through the heated membrane and is drawn into a closed air sampling system called the cell assembly In the cell assembly the vapor molecules are ionized by a weak radiation source Ni 63 Agent ions in the cell assembly are swept down a drift tube towards a collector electrode During travel they become separated according to their mass and an electronic signature is produced for each ion based on the time required to reac
