A.4 P100 Sampler Assembly Set-Up and Testing
NOTES:
Before sampling with the P100:
• Perform the sanitization procedure in Appendix B.
• The P100 must be calibrated as a system with the desired configuration (28.3 LPM (1CFM) or 100 LPM
inlet cover). Both the 28.3 LPM and 100 LPM can be calibrated on each unit.
1. P100 Sampling Assembly Set-Up and Testing
1.1 Upon completion of sanitization per Appendix B (If applicable), place the P100 at the desired test
site.
1.2 Initiate unit power as follows:
1.2.1 Turn on the unit power switch found at the bottom back corner of the P100 controller unit.
NOTE: The unit can run off of internal battery power, or directly from the AC/DC power adapter.
The unit must have 1% power before it will run directly from the AC/DC power source if the
battery has been substantially depleted.
1.2.2 P100 Media Stage Adjustment:
1.2.2.1 Adjust the media stage (FIG A) by turning it clockwise to lower, or counter
clockwise to raise the stage, to achieve the desired stage height.
1.2.2.2 The stage should be lowered or raised to a point that the distance gauge, located on
the interior center surface of the P100 inlet cover (FIG. B), makes a mark on the
center of the surface of a test media plate (FIG. C) that looks like FIG. D. If the
media stage is too high, you will see a mark on the media surface similar to FIG. E.
If the media stage is too low, you will not see a mark on the media surface, as in FIG.
F. It may take an additional test plate, and a little trial and error to achieve the proper
height for sampling on each testing day.
