Info

• After the station has been measured, the operator will disconnect the tubing from the instrument (the tubing and dust filter stay connected to the probe), remove the probe from the hole and manually clean the tip perforation to remove the residual soil particles before moving on to the next station. If a contamination was indicated the operator should clean the probe by blowing it out to remove all residual gas and condensation from inside the probe. Clean air can be blown through by means of a manual pumping device such as that used for inflating rubber mattresses. It is important not to blow into the sampling probe with your own breath as this may cause moisture to enter the probe and may give incorrect results. After measuring a contaminated station, use a new set of tubing and dust filter for the next station The operator must prepare in advance and carry sufficient spare tubing and dust filters into the field. After completing a contaminated station, the used tubing and dust filter are stored for future cleaning. Used tubing will usually self-clean when placed on the room heater overnight and is ready to use on the next day. Dust filters may stay contaminated and their residual contamination must be measured before re-using in the field. • At the next station the operator will repeat the measuring procedure by making a hole and inserting the probe. Wait a while before starting to measure by pressing right arrow on the instrument handle. Always use the right arrow to start measuring the next station, because it means that the “Y” coordinate is increased by the selected increment. The measuring cycle starts with resetting and follows the described procedure. 4.2 REPEATING A SELECTED STATION � If you need to re-measure a station do not use the original hole as the soil vapor conditions may have been changed by the first effort. Always make a new hole about 30 cm away from the previous one. In the Measuring Mode of the instrument (Window W.11.1)select the station you want to re-measure using left/right arrow button on the instrument handle. Press the RUN button and window W.12 will be displayed. � Select Measure from the displayed menu (Window W.12). The measurement of the station with the displayed coordinates is repeated. The original values will stay on the screen. Both original and new values are stored in the instrument disk and are available in the data sheet after transferring data to a computer using ECOPROBE_VIEW software.

4.3 DATA LOGGING USING THE STANDARD GRID There are two possibilities for selecting a station to be measured within the grid of the specific locality. The data are logged according their coordinates. A. First option •From the Measuring Mode (Window W.11.2), you can move to the graphic overview of the measured stations by using ▲ on the instrument handle. ABC Inc:10.0 X: 0.0 Y: 10.0 O 2 : 20.3% T: 17.9 P: PID 43 698 ppm Meth 3687 ppm T.P. 7658 ppm CO 2 546 ppm W. 11.2 - Measuring Mode. • The grid with measured stations will be displayed on the screen (Window W. 13). • Browse the grid by means of the four handle arrows. Select any station you want to measure and press RUN on the instrument panel to start its measurement. • To return to the Measuring Mode, press ESC. MEASURING – STANDARD GRID Note: The grid with the last selected ∆X and ∆Y increments is always displayed on the screen. All the stations measured in this grid are displayed as “o”. The stations that are not measured in the last set grid may be displayed as “x” or “z” The sign “x” means that there is a measured station at this point of the grid together with one or several stations measured in the vicinity of the “x” station. The sign “z” means that there is a station or several stations measured in the vicinity of this point. The station located exactly at this point has not been measured. To view the measured stations around “x” and “z” points on the screen, you have to change the increments of the grid to the previously defined grid, as is described in the following chapter. 30 o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o W. 13 - Measured stations of specific locality.
