and Partisol 2000
i
-D Instruction Manual
7-17
Sampled2_Volume, Sampled2_Volume_std
- For a Partisol 2000
i
-D
Sampler the Total volume (in m
3
) sampled through Filter2 is recorded in
these records. Both the actual and standard volumes are recorded.
PM10_Sample_vol
- The PM
10
sample Volume is the cumulative sample
volume for PM
10
sample. For the Partisol 2000
i
, this will equal the Volume
(std) and for a Partisol 2000
i
-D Sampler, this will equal the sum of the
sample Volume std) and sample Volume2 (std).
Power_fail_time(s)
- At the end of the filter data records, up to ten time
fields (hh.mm) that indicate the starting time of all power outages longer
than 60 sec that occur during sampling.
●
Interval Data
- The Sampler writes a new record of interval data every
five minutes. Each record contains the latest five-minute average of the
ambient temperature, filter temperature, and ambient pressure.
Time, Date
- The ending time/date (hh.mm yy/mm/dd) of the five
minuteinterval whose information is being displayed.
Flags
- This field is the current instrument status flag indicator.
T-Amb
- The Amb Temp field displays the five-minute average of the
ambient temperature (°C).
T-Flt
- The Filt Temp field displays the five-minute average of the filter
temperature (°C).
P-Amb
- The Amb Pres field displays the five-minute average of the
ambient pressure (mmHg).
Flow
- The Flow field displays the five-minute average of the sample flow
rate (volumetric L/min). For the Partisol 2000
i
-D Sampler, this will be
the main or PM
2.5
flow channel.
Flow2
- The Flow2 field displays the five-minute average of the sample
flow rate (volumetric L/min). For the Partisol 2000
i
-D Sampler, this
will be the main or PM
2.5
flow channel.
●
User Data
- The Sampler writes a record of User data at the time
interval set by the operator. The Sampler is shipped with default
storage variables and is set to store the values at an interval of every 30
minutes. The Sampler operator can change the storage interval and the
variables stored in the user records on the Sampler. Refer to Chapter 9
“
Firmware Screen Descriptions
” for instructions on how to set the User
data storage interval and the storage variables. The default variables
stored by the Sampler are:
Time, Date -
Date and time at the end of the recording period.
Flags
- Status flags recorded by the instrument at the end of the
recorindingperiod.
