does not overheat.

Include all stages: pre-purge, intake rinse, sample, sample retries and post-purge.
2. Find the minimum amount of time that the pump must stay off between sample cycles from
Figure 10 .
3. Make sure that the pacing or time interval in the sampler program lets the pump stay off between
sample cycles for the minimum amount of time.
