Delay Start - Time
Delay Start - Time works in conjunction with TIME and certain * Modes to expand the capabilities of the
sampler. It is not a stand alone program and cannot be used with * Start, FLOW MODES, *01, *05, *06,
*09, *11, *12, or *13. Delay Start - Time works by allowing the user to add a period of time to the beginning
of a TIME or * Mode to delay the start of the program. This time period must elapse before the program can
begin to operate. NOTE: Some programs already have a Delay Start - Time in the program negating the
user’s ability to add an additional Delay Start - Time. The user selects the mode of choice and enters the
required information. The PUSH START/OPTIONS prompt will then appear on the display. At this cue
press <DELAY START> and enter the amount of time (in HH:MM format) the sampler is to wait before
beginning the program. Once the Delay Start has elapsed, the program will start. For example, if the sampler
were programmed with a 9.5 hour Delay Start - Time and a 1.5 hour Time Interval, the sampler would wait
for 11 hours until the first sample is taken, (9.5 hours of Delay Start - Time and 1.5 hours for the Time
Interval). The sampler would then take a sample every 1.5 hours until all of the bottles (set in *99) each have
a sample placed in them or a bottle full condition occurs.
Display on LCD Explanation
SAMPLER READY
04/30 04:30:02
This display indicates the sampler is ready to program. Delay Start -
Time is not a stand alone program. It works in conjunction with
TIME, and certain * Modes. In this example <TIME> was pushed as
the mode of choice.
ENTER INTERVAL TIME
__ __:__ __ 04:30:02
Enter the time interval as a 4-digit number (HH:MM format) and
then press <ENTER>.
PUSH START/OPTIONS
04:30:02
The program can then be started by pressing <START> or other
functions can be added on such as Delay Start - Time. In this
example <DELAY START> was pressed.
ENTER DELAY START
__ __:__ __ 04:30:02
This display prompts the user to enter a Delay Start time (in HH:MM
format). This is the amount of time the sampler is to wait before
starting the regular program (in this case TIME mode).
PUSH START/OPTIONS
04:30:02
The sampler is now ready to begin operation. Press <START> to
begin the Delay Start countdown, or add other options such as
Multiple Samples per Bottle or Multiple Bottles per Sampling Event.
DELAY START TIME
__ __:__ __ 04:30:02
This display shows the time remaining on the Delay Start.
TIME TO NEXT SAMPLE
__ __:__ __ 04:30:02
Once the Delay Start has counted down to zero, the Interval Time
entered earlier will begin counting down. This display shows the
time left to take a sample. As mentioned above, Delay Start - Time
works with TIME, and certain * Modes.
