temperature falls below 10 °C for 30 seconds. If the sample pump does
initiate due to low temperatures, it stops running when the ambient
temperature exceeds 10 °C.
When the pump is running during cold weather, but not sampling, the
flow through the pump enters the system through the vacuum vent valve
when not actually sampling, but is in Wait or Stop modes. This does not
affect the filter that is in sampling position.
The heater in the electronics compartment turns on when the electronics
compartment temperature falls below 5 °C. The heater turns OFF when
the electronics compartment temperature rises above 10 °C.

, before attempting to operate the Sampler. Power
can be applied to the unit once the sampling system has been wired to a
main electrical source of the proper voltage in accordance with local
standards.
IMPORTANT
Ensure that all applicable safety standards are met before
applying power to the hardware.

Use the following procedure to turn on the Sampler.
1.
Press the power switch on the main panel to its “ON” (1) position to
activate the Sampler.
2.
If necessary adjust the liquid crystal display (LCD) to view the display.
Refer to “
Adjusting the Screen Contrast
” below for instructions.
Once the power switch is pressed, the pump in the unit may start up
momentarily. This is the default setting of the unit in case it is being
turned on under extreme cold conditions where additional heat is
necessary to warm the electronics.
The Screen Contrast display is used to change the contrast of the display.
Values between 0 and 100% in increments of 5 are available. It may be
necessary to change the screen contrast if the instrument is operated at
extreme temperatures or lighting conditions.
Note
The optimal contrast will change with changes in temperature.
