*04 Time Mode - Multiple Intervals
The *04 mode allows programming o f up t o 12 DIFFERENT non-uniform t ime intervals (1 min t o 99 hours
and 59 minutes). Non uniform time intervals refer to each interval being different from the previous or next
interval. Once an interval is entered, the user is given the option of repeating the interval or entering a new
interval. To repeat the interval, press <ENTER> once for each time the user wants the same interval repeated.
The display will show t he COUNT increasing, indicating the same interval is being logged multiple times. An
interval can be the same as a previous interval as long as there is a DIFFERENT interval between them. For
example if 01:00 was entered for the first interval, 02:00 for the second, and then 01:00 was entered again, this
would be counted as THREE different intervals. After t he program is initiated, t he sampler will begin
counting down t he first interval. O nce t hat interval has elapsed, the unit will start t he sample t aking sequence
and will immediately start counting down the next interval. T he sampler will draw and place a sample in 1
bottle and then advance t he spout. T he sampler will repeat the operation each time an interval expires. The
sampler will continue t his pattern until all t he intervals entered have expired, the total number o f bottles the
unit is configured for (set in *99) each have at least 1 sample placed in them, or a bottle full condition occurs.
Data entry can be ended at any time by pressing the * key.
Display on LCD Explanation
SAMPLER READY
04/30 04:30:02
This display indicates the sampler is ready t o program and displays
the current time. Press the * key t o begin programming.
ENTER * MODE
__ __ 04:30:02
The sampler is now prompting fo r a star mode to be input. E nter the
numbers which represent the star mode of choice, in this example 04,
and press <ENTER>.
ENTER FIRST INTERVAL
__ __ :__ __ 04:30:02
The user is prompted t o input t he first time interval in HH:MM
format. Once the entry is complete press <ENTER>. The sampler
considers this the FIRST t ime interval.
INTERVAL:1 COUNT: 1
01 :00 04:30:02
The display is now indicating it has recorded 1 interval (up to 12
different ones can be entered) and the interval has not been repeated.
In this example the user entered an interval of 1 Hour. The user
must now input a new interval or repeat the current interval.
INTERVAL:2 COUNT: 1
02 :00 04:30:02
The user inputs a new interval (0200) representing 2 hours. The
display indicates the new interval has been logged by showing a (2)
after the interval.
INTERVAL:2 COUNT: 2
02 :00 04:30:02
The user decides to duplicate the last interval. Press <ENTER> once
for each time the current interval should be repeated. THIS DOES
NOT COUNT AS A NEW INTERVAL as shown by the 2 after the
COUNT.
INTERVAL:2 COUNT: 3
02 :00 04:30:02
In this example, the user has pressed <ENTER> again to log another
interval of t he same length. T his is the third interval of 2 hours.
