If the 

Next 

button is pressed after checking the last cartridge channel, a total system 

leak check can be performed.  This checks the entire cartridge sampling path from 
the outlet of the inlet valve to the vacuum pump.  This is especially important when 
maintenance is performed, and the Teflon filter or ozone scrubber has been 
replaced.  The total system leak check if performed by closing the system valve and 
opening the inlet and outlet valves for Port 1.  The pump is started, and the flow is 
monitored for 40 seconds.  A leak is identified if the flow rate exceeds the flow leak 
limit set in the setup section. 

5.5  Data 

The 

Data

  tab  is used to display or download data.  After sampling has been 

completed, the 

Data

 tab is touched and the “Port 1 Data” screen is displayed.  The 

stored data includes: start time; stop time; average, minimum, and maximum flow 
rate; collected volume; error status, and elapsed time.  

NOTE: 

 The start time is when the sampling cycle starts.  This includes 20 seconds 

of leak check prior to allowing flow through the cartridge.  The end time is when the 
sampling cycle is completed after a thirty second leak check.  Therefore, the total 
time for flow through the cartridge is the end time minus the start time minus 50 
seconds. 
 
If the label printer option has been installed, a label can be printed for each port by 
pressing the 

Label

 button.  On each label the following information will be printed: 

start date/time, end date/time, total sampled volume, average flow rate, and error 
flag.  The error flag is the sum valve of all errors that occurred during the sample 
period.  The error values are:
