5-10
Sequence Step Purpose
43. Helium -> waste Helium is again flushed through the sample path to the
waste bottle.
44. End liquid sample This completes the water sample process sequence.
5.6.2 Soil Sample Sequence
Sequence Step Purpose
1. Getting Vial The Robotic Arm picks up the sample vial.
2. Check Vial Type The vial is placed in the ID cup to identify its type.
3. Going to soil probe The vial is transported to the soil sampling station.
4. Parking The Robotic Arm goes to rear park.
5. Water-> Lines Water flushes internal standard path to the waste
bottle.
6. Elevator up The sample vial is now raised up onto the soil
probe.
7. Syringe fills Syringe fills with programmed amount of water.
8. Adding standard 1 (and or 2) Standard 1 and or 2 is added to the sample.
9. Water -> soil vial Water is transformed to the soil vial.
10. Helium ->waste Helium flushes sample path to the waste bottle.
11. Pre-heat Soil Sample Sample vial is heated.
12. Pre-heat Time Length of time of heating.
13. Purge Sample is purged.
14. Elevator down The vial is lowered from the soil probe.
15. Return vial The Robotic Arm verifies vial position is empty, then
picks up the vial and returns it to the sample tray.
16. Parking The Robotic Arm goes to the Rear Park
17. Autodrain The Archon waste valve opens and helium
pressure from the purge and trap will drain the
sparge tube.
