1 Sample flow adjustment valve
4.3.1 Sample flow valve
The sample flow valve has three positions:
• Sample line PURGE
• Sample flow ON
• Sample flow OFF
The PURGE position is used to clear the sample line of any build up of air bubbles. For a thorough
purge, it is recommended to keep the valve in this position for 5 seconds. During this operation, the
sample flows directly from the inlet tubing to the outlet tubing. All measurements are suspended
during this time as the sample does not come into contact with the sensor.
The ON and OFF positions turn the sample flow on and off respectively.
