5.3.3 Operate from external signal (setpoint sample)
The setpoint sample option starts and stops the sampler after
receiving a signal from an external device such as a flow meter.
The current status indicates when the sample program is being
inhibited by an external device.
Note: Setpoint and stormwater sampling cannot be enabled at the
same time.

•
START ON SETPT
—starts a sample program when the
signal is received, ignoring all future transitions, and
continues until the program is complete.
•
START/STOP
—starts a sample program when the signal is
received and stops the program when the signal is no
longer received.
4. Enter a delay time in hours and/or minutes that must expire
before the sample program starts. The delay time will begin
when the external signal is received. The program will begin
after the delay time has passed.
