Theory of o f Operation Operation The MobileTrace® device operates by first trapping traces of vapors or particles given off or left behind by explosives and/or controlled drugs. Morpho Detection’s Detection’s ITMS™ detection technique operates by ionizing the target vapors and then subsequently measuring the mobility of the ions in an electric field. The mobility of each target ion differs sufficiently so that each is uniquely identified. Samples are collected on clean/new traps either by hand wiping suspect surfaces with the trap or by attaching the trap to the hand wand. Any vapors or microscopic particles of target materials collected on the sample trap are released into the detection system by placing the sample trap into the detection slot on the desorber. Desorbed vapors are drawn into the MobileTrace® detection system by the action of a small sampling pump. The sampled air leaving the desorber is drawn over a semi-permeable, elastomeric membrane that allows target vapors to permeate through the detection system. Most dust and dirt is excluded by the membrane, thus  protecting the detector detector from contamination. Figure Figur e 5. Pneum Pneumatic atics s diag diagram ram

The sample molecules that pass through the membrane are carried into the detector on a stream of clean, dry air (gas). This gas flows through an ionization chamber whose walls are lined with a Ni-63 radioactive foil; this foil emits low-energy beta particles. As the gas proceeds through the chamber, both positive and negative ions © 2010 Morpho Detection, Inc. All rights reserved.

are formed. There is no measurable level of radiation emitted by the detector itself, thus allowing for completely safe operation. The electric field in the detector's ionization chamber is at most times zero, but at 33 ms intervals, short pulses are applied across the chamber. This pulsed electric field forces the sample, now in an ionized gas state, to be  pulsed out out of the ionization chamber and proceed toward the collector electrode. The speed of the ion is related to its size; thus, a measurement of this speed makes substance identification possible. The collector and related electronics pass a constant stream of analog information from the detector to the system computer for digital conversion, analysis, and identification. Selectivity is gained from the use of the semi-permeable membrane in the sampled air stream before the detector.. Many organic vapors are transmitted through the membrane and produce unwanted responses in the detector detector.. These responses are eliminated by the addition of a trace of dopant vapor in the gas stream entering detector the detector. The dopant is chosen such that it steals charge from unwanted ions, and in the absence of narcotics (or explosives in negative ion mode) produces a single-response peak in the spectrum. The spectrum is known as the plasmagram. When controlled drug (or explosive) vapors enter the detector, they have very strong charge affinity and steal charge even from the dopant ions. The system software is designed specifically for the device and includes a user-friendly graphical interface and produces fast and unambiguous results.

MobileTrace® User Manual

Overview After the calibration routine, a verification of the calibration should be performed. There are four ways to calibrate the device: • Automatic Automatic calibrati calibration on in particle particle mode • Manual Manual calibratio calibration n in particle particle mode mode • Dua Duall peak (reco (recommen mmended ded)) • Si Sing ngle le pea peak  k  • Automatic Automatic calibra calibration tion in vapor vapor mode mode • Manual Manual calibratio calibration n in vapor vapor mode mode • Dua Duall peak (reco (recommen mmended ded)) • Si Sing ngle le pea peak  k  The ionization process in the detector is affected by moisture, temperature, and pressure within the detector. detector. Large increases in contamination can lead to shifts in the peak positions in the plasmagram. This is likely to occur after the device has been stored for a long time or during the pressurization cycle of an aircraft flight. In  both of these circumstances, circumstances, Morpho Detection recommends that the device device be turned ON  and  and allowed to run at least 24 hours before attempting a calibration. The detection and recognition algorithms in the MobileTrace® software are extremely sophisticated and are designed to interpret the results completely completely,, providing unambiguous output. Substances are recognized by specific positions of peaks in the plasmagram, which are all set in the substance configuration. The positions of these peaks may vary slightly due to pressure, temperature, and the amount of humidity in the device. Manual calibration of the peak recognition windows may be necessary only upon receipt of the device, or when the device fails to recognize a calibration sample. This latter occurrence is very rare; manual calibration is not usually required unless the device is moved to another site, or after performing the monthly maintenance  procedures. It is advisable advisable to run a calibration check check every day before beginning beginning sampling operations. operations. The manual calibration routine can be accessed via the Menu screen and requires at least a 4-digit maintenance level user ID. Morpho Detection recommends that only a qualified, high level user be allowed to change any  parameters in the manual calibration calibration routine. The status bar displays the Stabilizing Temperature message, followed by the Calibration Warning message after log on for all user levels. To the left of the Calibration Warning message, in small text, are the current operating modes. Table 13. Operating Operating mode modes s

MobileTrace® User Manual

The primary operational use of the MobileTrace® device is to obtain samples to detect traces of narcotics or explosives. The device is intended to be used with little to no operator supervision. It is equally important to adopt procedures to ensure the integrity and accuracy of results obtained from the device.

Default fault Sa Sampl mplin ing g Matr Matrix ix De The following table indicates the best collection methods for the substances of interest. The MobileTrace®  device can also detect taggants, which are compounds added to explosives e xplosives by manufacturers to aid vapor detection of less volatile compounds. Some agencies elect to detect for taggants to demonstrate the presence of explosives. While intended to aid vapor detection, taggants are targeted by some agencies for detection in  particle mode. The device detects detects taggants in bot both h particle and vapor modes modes but vapor is the recommen recommended ded method. Table 23. Default sampling matrix

Traps Note:

 Always wear clean cotton cotton gloves (supplied with the device) when handlin handling g traps to perform calibration or sampling. Gloves reduce the transfer of finger oils and other contaminants to the trap.

Traps are used for either calibrating, verifying or for collecting samples for analysis. The calibration traps are marked with a C  at  at the handle end of the trap, and the tapered end (sampling area) is inserted into the desorber for calibration. Similarly the verification traps are marked with a V  at  at the handle end of the trap, and the tapered end (sampling area) is inserted into the desorber for verification. The sample (multipurpose) traps have a hole in the handle end, and the tapered end is swiped over the area  being sampled for narcotics narcotics or explosives. Han Handle dle all traps with gloves gloves on and by the wi wide de or handle end only only.. Figure 127. Traps

Calibration Trap

Verification Trap

The calibration traps have a shelf life of 7.5 months. The verification traps have a shelf life of 6 months. Check the Best Used By date on the bottom of the can to ensure they are at their best and thus provide an accurate calibration. The sample traps have a shelf life of one year. Again, check the Best Used By date on the bottom of the can to ensure they are at their best and thus provide an accurate sample collection. To ensure accurate calibration and verification, both the calibration and verification traps can only be used once and then must be discarded. The sample trap may be used for up to ten (10) sampling events as long as none of the samples causes an alarm and the trap is not visibly dirty dirty,, torn, or damaged. A sampling event consists of swiping up to five (5) surfaces, and then placing the trap into the desorber for analysis. If a trap causes an alarm, or when it is dirty or damaged, do not use the trap for another sample. Discard it and resume sampling with a clean sample trap.

Va Vapor por Sa Sampli mpli ng In situations when a particle sample cannot be obtained, the MobileTrace® device can be used in vapor mode. Vapor sampling is not designed for sampling open areas. It is intended for use in sampling confined areas such as trunks of vehicles, glove compartments, lockers, bags, cases, etc. Contraband stored for a period of time in a confined area (especially at elevated temperatures) has the best chance for successful vapor detection. Some substances have a higher probability of being detected in vapor mode. See Table 23, Default sampling ng matrix 23, Default sampli on page page 102. 102. The vapor method should be selected to allow lower alarm levels and manual control of the sampling pump. The operator should locate a vapor release point on the suspect item and, while ensuring not to make physical contact, hold the device close to this point. The operator should then press and hold the Trigger button for 8 to 10 seconds (to draw in vapors that are escaping through the vapor release point of the suspect item). Once the Trigger button is pressed a second time, the device completes the analysis and indicates whether or not a substance has been detected. WARNI ARNING: NG: We Wear ar clean cotton gloves when removin g the desorber. The internal temperature of the device is high. Use extreme care not to burn your hands.

Removing the Desorber and Installing the Vapor Plate 1. Press the power power switch switch on on the rear rear of the the device device to turn the device device OFF . 2. While wearing clean cotton gloves, pull the metal rings apart and lift the desorber cover to remove it.

If the battery battery is in nee need d of fuel fuel gauge gauge recalibr recalibration ation,, the red red LED on the the char charger ger will flash upon insertion of the battery. This indicator provides feedback to the user on the accuracy of the fuel gauge and avoids unnecessary battery calibration cycles. The user has the option to calibrate the fuel gauge and charge the battery, or to only charge the battery. This option is given because a recalibration cycle is longer than a charge cycle and it may not be convenient to go through the calibration cycle. To recalibrate the battery, press the Calibrate button on the front of the charger.  No action is required if only a recharge is required, required, as the charger will automatically begin to charge the battery. The blue calibration LED will flash to indicate that the battery is undergoing the recalibration cycle. There may be a short delay before the calibration begins. During calibration the discharge resistors resistors will heat up and the fan will operate to maintain temperature within acceptable limits. Removing the battery and/or  pressing the calibration button button again will restart the process from from the beginning. beginning. At the end of this procedure the blue LED will stay constant indicating a fully charged, fully calibrated battery. The most common cause of calibration failure is overheating of the pack during discharge. Keep the charger away from direct sunlight or heat sources.

Battery Notes: What is recalibration and why is it needed?

The fuel gauge in the battery uses a highly accurate voltmeter, ammeter, and time clock to measure actual charge in and out of the battery pack. In addition, there are algorithms to compensate for the effects of discharge rate, discharge temperature, self-discharge and charging efficiency efficiency,, etc. Recalibration is the means to ensure the continued reliability of this device throughout the life of the battery  pack. Recalibration is used used to reset the fuel gauge al algorithms, gorithms, reestablish reestablish the full and empty points, points, and recalculate the actual capacity in the battery. In this way, way, even as the battery ages and things change, the accuracy and reliability of the fuel gauge can be retained throughout the life of the battery. The charger will automatically take the batteries through this process and is a useful alternative, ensuring accuracy and reliability of the fuel gauge throughout the life of the battery. battery. Recalibration consists of a calibration charge, followed by a calibration discharge. Finally the battery is given a regular charge. A calibration cycle will be faster if the battery is fully charged to begin with. Recalibration time for the device main battery could be as long as 14 hours.
