3.5 Using the Sampler System
Using the 1303’s sampler system (see
Fig. 1.1
), to deliver a sample to
the Gas Monitor is a 3-stage process:
1.
The required sample valve is opened; all other sample valves are
closed automatically. The sampling pump starts.
2.
The sample valve is connected to the sampling pump via the
1303’s internal 3-way valve, allowing the waste air to be ex-
hausted from the sample channel (via the Waste Air Outlet,
section 2.3.5
) and drawing the new sample.
3.
When the new sample has been drawn to the 1303, the internal
3-way valve is set to direct the sample to the Gas Monitor. The
sampling pump stops, and the Gas Monitor’s pump draws the
sample for analysis.
While the Gas Monitor is analyzing this sample, the next sample can
then be drawn ready for the next analysis.
Three interface jobs control the sampling process.
