3.7.1 Sampler
Two versions of sampler are available for the sample feed of the multi EA 4000:

the solid autosampler FPG 48

the manual feed
The autosampler FPG 48 offers space for 48 sample boats. The boats are automatically
picked from the trays and transferred to the combustion furnace. The feed for the
transfer is computer-controlled. Dependent on the equipment the boats are placed
back on the autosampler after the measurement or discarded in a waste container af-
ter cooling.
For analyses in the quartz combustion tube (Cl measurements) the FPG 48 can be
combined with a flame sensor.
The manual feed is a robust device facilitating the movement of the ceramic hook with
the straight aligned sample boats into the combustion furnace. In the manual sample
feed it is important that with highly reactive samples the transfer into the combustion
tube must be slow and controlled.
3.7.2 Flame sensor
A flame sensor can optionally be combined with the autosampler FPG 48 for Cl deter-
mination. The flame sensor captures the combustion of highly reactive samples in the
quartz tube visually and controls the boat advance in accordance with the brightness
of the flame. The ensuing optimized combustion characteristics lead to precise meas-
uring results.
3.7.3 Scales
Scales can be connected for the automatic volume transfer for the calculation of the
analysis results. The samples must be weighted in accordance with the instructions in
the program. The determined weights are automatically transferred to the sample ta-
ble.
