Sampler Settings
This section describes the different options available for programming the
Partisol 2000
i
and 2000
i
-D Samplers. This section includes Instrument
Setup which describes programming the default setting of the Sampler,
including sample type, default sample start and stop times, and other
instrument settings. See the note below that applies to the 2000
i
-D only.

IMPORTANT
The information in this section provides information
specific to the Partisol 2000
i
-D version of the Sampler.

The dichotomous splitter installed in the Partisol 2000
i
-D Sampler has the
fine particulate matter (PM
2.5
), high flow channel (15.0 L/min) located at
the rear of the sampling compartment and a coarse particulate matter
(PM
coarse
), low flow (1.67 L/min) channel located in the front sampling
compartment.
In the software screens on the Partisol 2000
i
-D, the high flow (15.0
L/min), PM
2.5
channel, is shown as “Flow” and the filter in the high flow
sampling position is “Filter,” and the low flow (1.67 L/min), PMc channel,
is “Flow 2” and the filter in the low flow sampling position is “Filter 2.”
This same terminology also applies to the Filter ID and Cassette ID items
in the software. Where the information provided refers to either Flow, or
Filter, the same information and steps are required for Flow 2 and Filter 2.
The Instrument Setup screens set the global default sampling parameters
for the numerous programming options available. The default sample setup
and fefault sample times screens allow the user to set default sampling
parameters. The System Setup screen defines whether the Sampler uses the
default Ambient Temperature and Pressure settings, or Standard
Temperature and Pressure settings for maintaining and reporting flow rates
in volumetric or standard terms. The current local time and date are also
set in the Instrument Setup screens.
