Hardware
• Narrowed and modified cabinet more similar in appearance to that of the ASAP 2020. Cabinet
dimensions are 23D × 22W × 40H inches (58D x 56W x 102H centimeters).
• Up to four analyzers can be attached to one computer
• The vacuum system includes a turbo molecular pump mounted internally and a dry roughing
pump external to the cabinet
• The sample port spacing is the same as that of the 3020, but rotated so that a single port is in
front with two ports behind for easier access.
• Pneumatically operated air valves are metal VCR diaphragm valves with Kel-F seats and
require 90-100 psi of house air to operate
• No rubber seals (plungers) in the main manifold portion of the instrument. The gas inlet
manifold is the only part of the manifold that has rubber seals.
• The vapor source connects to the P
0
port
• The sample ports, dosing manifold, and Po tube each have a dedicated 1000-mmHg transducer
to allow concurrent gas adsorption analysis. Any or all three sample ports can be upgraded in
the factory/field to have dedicated 10- and 0.1-mmHg transducers to support micropore/krypton
analysis
• Servo is digitally controlled and used during micropore analysis. This makes it capable of
dosing small amounts of gas, essentially cutting hours off the time to run micropore analyses
• Cabinet is heated, insulated, and temperature-controlled to ensure accurate gas quanrtity
measurement and pressure transducer reading stability
• The SmartPrep connects directly to the instrument using a null modem cable and does not
require additional software (be sure to order 065/00035/00 for this configuration)
