The Filter Bag is not sealing.

Possible Causes:

The dial on the heat sealer may not be turned up high enough. The XT4 Filter Bag is sealed at a setting of "6." Different lab conditions may effect the proper setting. Experiment with a bag to "dial in" the correct setting.

The heating element is broken. On the sides of the Teflon cover are two shiny metal strips that keep the cover in place. Loosen the screws that keep the strips tight to the base of the heat sealer and remove the Teflon cover. Check to see if there is a break in the heating element. If there is, take the extra heating element from the box that the heat sealer came in and replace the defective element. Additional elements can be ordered from ANKOM Technology.

The Insulator is not properly installed. The insulator should be installed to ensure that the heating element does not touch any of the metal on the base of the heat sealer.
