3 Preface
3.1 Introducing the GreyScan Device
The ETD-100 is the world’s first automated Explosive Trace Detection (ETD) device to detect homemade inorganic
explosives based on nitrates, chlorates and perchlorates.
GreyScan sets the global standard for inorganic ETD and extends the current security capabilities by complementing
commercially available Ion Mobility Spectrometry (IMS) explosive trace detectors.
To operate the device effectively, please follow the instructions contained in this Operator’s Manual.
This includes following key conventions in the trace detection industry, with some explained in this Operator’s Manual.

5.4 Installation of the Sample Filter and Sample Filter Retainer
Sample Filter Installation Method (FIRST TIME ONLY)
1. When the device is shipped, the Sample Filter Assembly will not be installed. There will be a sticker/tape on
top of the filter slot. Remove the sticker/tape and following these installation instructions.
2. Remove the Sample Filter Assembly from the filter bag. It comprises two parts affixed together. The first part
is the Sample Filter itself (refer to Figure 5 Top item) and the second part is the Sample Filter Retainer (refer
to Figure 5 Bottom item).
3. Insert the Sample Filter into the Sample Filter Retainer. Refer to Figure 5:Sample Filter Rotation Orientation.
4. To correctly insert the Sample Filter/Sample Retainer Assembly, the lugs on both the top and bottom
sections must align with the Sample Filter Slot in the device.
5. Fully insert the Sample Filter into the Sample Filter Slot then rotate the filter clockwise to lock the filter into
place. The bottom of the Sample Filter Retainer rotates a small amount independent of the top (Sample
Filter).

The horizontal bars on the left of the screen indicate the status
of the: filter, consumable reagent fluids and battery.
Consumable items need to be replaced periodically when
expired or, in the case of the filter, if the baseline of the
electropherogram is ‘noisy’ and the battery needs to be kept
charged. If any indicators drop below a threshold, a prompt will
be displayed indicating that attention is required and the bar will turn red. Refer to Section 8.1 Maintenance Overview.
The SETTINGS BUTTON on the INSERT SWAB Screen is used to access the Settings Screen.
