Table 3: inFlow™ ACE Troubleshooting (Continued)

Issues

Possible Causes

Solutions

The sample container is filling too
quickly.

The inFlow™ ACE is not collecting the
correct sample volume.

The inFlow™ ACE may be set at a faster
sampling frequency than desired.

The relief on the inFlow™ ACE may be set
too low.

Welker recommends the Welker
Checkpoint™ Sample Bite Verification
Panel for verifying the sample volume of
the inFlow™ ACE. See

Section 2.4, Setting

the Sample Volume,

for instructions on

adjusting the sample volume.

Adjust the inFlow™ ACE to sample at the
desired rate. Ensure that the calculations
used to determine the sample frequency
are correct (

Figure 10

Check the setting on the relief and adjust
as necessary.
