Replace the Mercury Vapor Filter

  Mercury vapor filters are used on vacuum pumps to minimize the release of mercury vapors.
  The mercury vapor filter should be replaced annually when preventive maintenance is performed. When the mercury exhaust filter is replaced, go to Unit [n] > Show Dashboard. Right click the Days until Hg filter replacement is due box and click Reset. The counter resets to 365 days until the next filter change is due. Service Mode and password are required to make this change.
