Time Mode - Single Time Interval
This mode is similar to * START except t he user sets the Time Interval instead of having it automatically set
to 1 hour. The user enters a time in HH:MM format from 1 minute to 99 hours and 59 minutes. This time
interval is used to initiate each sampling sequence in this program until the sampler ends its cycle and/or is re-
programmed. After the t ime interval is entered and t he program has been initiated by pressing <START>, the
sampler will begin counting down the time interval. W hen the interval has elapsed, t he unit will advance the
spout, draw 1 sample, and place it in a bottle. The timer will reset as soon as t he sample cycle starts and will
immediately begin counting down t he same time interval again. A fter the interval has elapsed again, the spout
will advance and another sample will be taken and deposited. T his will continue until t he total number o f
bottles the unit is configured for (set in *99) each have 1 sample placed in them or a bottle full condition
occurs. For example, if the time interval is set for 1 hour 30 minutes, the sampler would count down 1 hour
and 30 minutes, advance the spout, take the first sample, and reset the timer. After another 1 hour and 30
minutes the spout would advance to bottle 2, the sampler would take a sample and reset the timer, etc.
