Analyzer Modules
The Vertex Edge System is populated with up to nine universal analyzer modules. Modules are
installed in slots on one of three tiers. Each tier includes three slots for a total of nine slots in a
Vertex Edge System. Analyzer modules occupy one slot each.

Sampling System
Each Analyzer module is a monitoring center for sampling lines from sample locations. As they
apply to the Vertex Edge System, the words point, line and location require definition:
• A location is a place to be monitored
• Sample atmosphere runs from the location to the Vertex Edge System via a line
• Each of the 72 sample tubing connections on the Vertex Edge System corresponds to a point.
A sample line can be connected directly to a single point or multiple points.
The system draws air simultaneously from all locations. Two different types of flow are:
• Transport flow: high-velocity, large-volume air movement through the lines
• Sample flow: air admitted to the Chemcassette® detection system
The high speed of transport flow allows rapid monitoring and response time when using long
lines from monitored locations to the Vertex Edge System. A small portion of the transport flow
(sample flow) is analyzed to determine concentration levels.
The complete sampling and monitoring system consists of the following components:
• Sample lines to all monitored locations
• Flow connections through quick-connect ports in bulkheads on top of unit
• Moving cable and connectors
• Vacuum pumps
