While in the Sampling mode, the Sampler is currently in a user-defined
sampling interval. Except in the case of Advanced sampling with
conditions, the unit will draws ambient air in through its sampling system
at the volumetric flow rates specified by the user. For the Partisol 2000
i
the
default flow rate is 16.67 L/min and for the Partisol 2000
i
-D the default
flow is 1.67 L/min for the coarse flow channel and 15 L/min for the fine
flow channel. The sample will continue unless the sample flow rates deviate
from their set points by 10% or more for more than 60 seconds or until the
ending time/date is reached.
If the sample flow rate deviates from the defined setpoints, the unit will
enter the Error mode and it will stop sampling. The software will register
an “S1” Status Code and remain until the user resets the unit.
Pressing
, when in the Sampling mode, offers the user the choice of
entering the Audit mode (for exchanging or cleaning the inlets or
performing a Sampler audit) or the Stop mode.
Once the ending time/date is reached, the unit automatically enters the
Done Operating Mode if the current status code is “Ok,” or enters the
Error Operating Mode if the Sampler has encountered a status condition
(See
Status Codes
on page
9-62
). Editing of sample information is not
allowed in this mode.
The Sampler enters Done at the completion of its sampling program if it
encountered no status conditions during sample collection (that force the
end of sampling). Pressing
with the run screen displayed with the
hardware in this mode causes the Sampler to return to the Stop Operating
Mode.
Note
Do not exchange filter cassettes with the Sampler in Done mode.
Return to the Stop Operating Mode before exchanging the collection
media.

The Sampler proceeds to Err mode at the completion of its sampling
program if it encountered a status condition during sample collection
(status code is not “Ok”), or if it encounters the flow rate deviation
condition, “S1” (See
Status Codes
on page
9-62
). Pressing
in the
Main screen with the hardware in this mode causes the Sampler to return
to the Stop Operating Mode.
