If an event is longer than the programmed bottle filling time, two or more bottles will be filled for this event depending on the programmed bottle filling time. Page 20 Manual SP 5 Zone 2...
Operation Vacuum sampling system Vacuum metering vessel with pinch-valve - pneumatic pinch-valve which closes the dosing hose below the metering vessel. - no sensor, thus almost no wear. - easy disassembly of metering vessel for cleaning. - the sample volume can be adjusted between 20 and 350 ml by displacing the filling tube.

Program run: As soon as there is an event signal, the distributor moves to the next empty bottle (is recorded in the memory as event bottle). The sample extraction is effected according to the set values as long as the signal is present. If the signal is active longer than the bottle filling time set, further bottles are filled.

BOTTLE FILLING PAUSE (SÜV program ) Setting range: between 0-10080 min. (7 days). This function enables a deferred sample extraction (filling pause) related to the bottles before the next bottle is filled. The pause is entered in minutes. Example: Sampler with 24-bottle distributor system. Bottle fill time: 2 hours.
(according to our example it would be bottle 2) and automatically changes to this position at the first requested sample extraction! WEEKDAY/TIME The program start is effected on the selected weekday and at the selected time in the format: day; hh:mm. Page 44 Manual SP 5 Zone 2...

• PROGRAM ENDOPTIONS After having defined the start conditions, the program end can be set as follows: AFTER 1 RUN Program is terminated after 1 run. AFTER X RUNS Program is terminated after X runs. CONTINUOUS OPERATION The program is repeated indefinitely. DATE/TIME The program can be terminated at a certain date/time.

FLOW-PROPORTIONAL SAMPLE EXTRACTION According to the output signal of your flow meter either the operating mode flow analog or flow digital can be selected in the program settings. FLOW ANALOG – set resp. calibrate - Under „SETTINGS“ ->„SAMPLER SETTINGS ->ANALOGSIGNAL“ the analog input can be set to the default values 4-20 or 0-20 mA or it can be adjusted/calibrated to the plant’s signal.
