The traditional manual sample conditioning system can require constant adjustment during startup or as plant conditions change. Sample Sentry II is designed to meet requirements for representative sampling by maintaining a constant flow rate with varying inlet conditions. Automated flow control is achieved by continuously monitoring the sample flow rate and controlling a motorized pressure reduction valve (PRV).

PRV is being located. After the PRV positions are stored, the system returns the PRV to the home setting and enters Operation screen in Manual mode. Refer to Figure 5. Any time that the Sample Sentry II power is reset, the unit enters its startup routine.

On newer models (11/16/11 and later) a couple of options have been added. 1. When in a high temperature alarm, the user can cool the Sample Sentry II down by opening SV1 and opening the PRV. Press and hold the ESC button to open SV1. Release the ESC button to close SV1.

1. SV-1 and SV-2 valves close. 2. Sample Sentry II pulses the motor in the opposite direction of the previous motor direction movement. It performs this part of sequence for 15 seconds. If the motor movement is detected Sample Sentry II displays “PRV Calibration” on the display and performs PRV calibration where Sample Sentry II determines the number of turns in the PRV.

5. Replace VREL valve (replacing VREL valve near the fully open position reduces startup time). 6. Apply power to the Sample Sentry II. 7. Wait for Sample Sentry II unit to finish its startup routine (date screen will no longer be shown). Main Menu Figure 7.

Ensure that there is sufficient pressure differential between the startup pressure set point and shutdown pressure setpoint so that the Sample Sentry II does not enter a continuous loop senario . (ie . Startup pressure must always be suffieciently higher than Shutdown pressure to account for pressure drops during startups .

For example, Recalibrate should be done if a VREL valve is replaced after it has been taken off the Sample Sentry II for cleaning. Also, if the coupling slips on the shaft of the PRV, a recalibration is required. For older models, this setting is not available and resetting the PRV must be done by a reboot of the unit.

BAUD rate to be changed. For further information on using the MODBUS feature, please refer to “Appendix A - MODBUS” on page 41. The PID parameters should only be changed with the assistance of Sentry Equipment. For this reason, PID parameters are password protected. If the system needs tuning, please contact Sentry Equipment for assistance.
Password protected. Flow Meter Calibration The Sample Sentry II system has a stated flow accuracy of ± 3% of full scale which correlates to ± 102cc. Under normal operation of the system this value is fine; however, if additional accuracy is required it possible to generate a multiple point correlation table to normalize each system to a specific sample point.
Page 25
Sample Sentry II automatically operates with power supplied in this range. A power supply lead of 16 AWG (1.3 mm²) copper wire is recommended. The Sample Sentry II should be connected to an electrical outlet or outlet strip with surge suppression and filtering. A suitable external over-current protection device such as a fuse or circuit breaker (15 A) is recommended for both the hot (L) and neutral (N) leads.
Replace gaskets that show visible leaks. Keep spare shell gaskets on hand for this need. 3. During reassembly, tighten the bolts only enough so that shell side leaking does not occur. Over tightening ma y cause gasket failure. Sentry Sample Sentry II...
