can select the desired volume by using the left/right arrows to scroll through the available 
volumes. Holding any of the 4 direction keys down will conveniently cause them to auto-repeat. 
When the maximum or minimum volume has been reached the choices will roll over. Thus, 
when using the right arrow, 1100L will be followed by INF and then 5L. Similarly, when using 
the left arrow, 5L will be followed by INF and then 1100L. 

If the Site ID is anything but the Blank ID (ID 00), a SAVE option will appear in addition to 

the EXIT button. Pressing SAVE will store the selected sample volume as the default for that 
ID. If the default volume for that Site matches the current selection, the SAVE button is hidden. 

2.2.2  Sample Delay 

The CI-90A allows the user to set a sample delay time. Although the delay can be used for 

any purpose, it is typically used to give the user time to exit the area being sampled prior to the 
start of the sample. The CI-90A will start the pump 2 seconds before the end of the sample delay 
to get the flow up to speed for the start of the actual sample. The CI-90A has a range of sample 
delays from which the user can choose. The minimum sample delay is 3 seconds, and the 
maximum sample delay is 99 minutes 59 seconds.  Delay values less than 00:03 are impossible 
to set. Sample delay choices are available in 1-second increments from 00:03 to 99:59.  

To select the sample delay, the user must first enter the setup menu, if not already there, and 

then use the up/down arrows as necessary to scroll to the sample delay. The delay minutes and 
seconds are set separately. Once the cursor is on the sample delay minutes or seconds, the current 
value will flash. The user can select the desired delay by using the left/right arrows to scroll 
through the available values.  When the minutes or seconds reach their limit the choices will roll 
over. Thus, when selecting the minutes with the right arrow, 99 minutes will be followed by 00. 
Similarly, when selecting seconds with the right arrow, 59 seconds will be followed by 00 or 03 
(if minutes is currently 00). Using the left arrow will cause a roll over the other way. 

2.2.3  # Labels to print 

The CI-90A allows the user to select the number of labels to automatically print after the 

sample has completed (the user can also manually print extra labels after a sample). The label 
will have the time the sample was completed and other critical information printed on it. A 
sample label appears on the next page.
