Getting Started
The Sampler monitors and controls airflow continuously. Occasionally the motor speed adjusts
automatically to compensate for changes in environmental and sampling conditions. The
Sampler also automatically enters calibration mode when required.
At any time, you can verify that the Sampler is operating correctly by blocking the flow and
generating a low flow alarm.
