1.1 Operating Principles

The Model 464 Electronic Pump Control Unit controls the supply of compressed gas to pneumatic pumps. Drive (pressure) and vent periods are cycled to provide water flow. During pressurization periods, water is forced into the sample tubing. The vent period allows water to re-enter (recharge) the pump. Cycle repetition may be controlled manually or automatically using pre-set pumping rates.
