The front panel of the controller contains a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) with a dual readout and a 6-button
keypad for configuring the controller and retrieving data. During operation, the LCD displays the sample
count for the current sampling period, as shown in Figure 11.
From the front keypad, the operator can change the operating mode, stop a sampling period, start a
sampling period, change the sampling configuration settings, initiate a test of the sampling process, and
display performance and job status indicators on demand.
This section describes each of these functions except for changing configuration settings. See Section 5, for
configuration instructions.
Figure 11: Liquid Crystal display and keypad with the overlay
KEYPAD OVERVIEW
Before programming or operating the sampler for the first time, review this section to familiarize yourself with
the functions of each key.
•MODE—allows the operator to manually control the start and stop of a sampling period.
•RESET—starts a new sampling period using the settings last configured. This function is enabled
only when the controller is in “Stop” mode.
•SAMPLE SETUP—provides access to configurable settings for controlling the sampling process,see
section 5 for step-by-step configuration instructions.
•LEFTARROW/ DISPLAY—during normal operation, initiates the scrolling display of status
parameters and volumes, see Table 1 for details; during configuration, allows user to select a digit to
be changed
•UPARROW/ TEST—during normal operation, initiates a test of the sampling process; during
configuration, increments the value of a selected digit.
•ENTER/SAVE—during configuration, saves each setting entered and advances the display to the
next required configurable parameter.

•External Reset Control Switch—provides 3 different functions based on the hold time.
o0.3 second—scroll through next parameter on display
o5.0 seconds—one button quick RESET and START sampling function if the
Sampler Controller is in Stop or Idle mode
o10 seconds—if the system is running, it will issue a STOP Command; if the system is in
STOP mode, it will resume running
COMMON KEYPAD FUNCTIONS
The following information explains how to perform some common tasks with the controller keypad. For step
by step instructions for configuring a sampling job, see Section 5.
STOP A SAMPLING PERIOD
To terminate a sampling period, press MODE and press UP ARROW/ TEST to navigate to “Stop” mode.
Then press ENTER.
START A SAMPLING PERIOD
To initiate a new sampling period, press MODE and press UP ARROW/ TEST to navigate to “Start” mode.
Then press ENTER.
Alternatively, if the controller is in “Stop” mode, press RESET to start a new sampling period using the
settings last configured. Pressing RESET automatically changes the mode to “Start.” (If the controller is set
to a mode other than “Stop” before pressing RESET, a new sampling period will not be created. In this case,
RESET will have no effect on the sampling job.)
PAUSE AND RESUME SAMPLING WITHOUT STARTING A NEW SAMPLING PERIOD
To resume sampling after putting the controller in “Stop” mode without zeroing the sample count, press
MODE, press UP ARROW/ TEST to select “Continue” and press ENTER. This is ideal for pausing the
sampling process just long enough to change the frequency or volume setting (for example, to expedite
completion of the sampling period).
DISPLAY STATUS INDICATORS ON DEMAND
During normal operation, press UP ARROW/ TEST to initiate a scrolling display of status parameters and
volumes, see Table 1 for details. After several seconds, the display will revert to the normal operating
screen.
TEST THE CONTROLLER
During normal operation, press UP ARROW/TEST to initiate a test of the sampling configuration.
ON-DEMAND DISPLAY OF STATUS INDICATORS AND VOLUMES
During normal operation, the operator can initiate a scrolling display of performance and job status indicators
by pressing LEFT ARROW/ DISPLAY. The parameters displayed can vary, depending on the type of
sampling programmed. Table 1 lists all supported indicators, and indicates which parameters are available
for each sampling configuration. The last two columns of the table show the content of top and bottom
readouts associated with each parameter.

RUN TIME
Run Time displays the length of time (number of days) the sampler has been in operation during the existing
sampling period. The run time value is zeroed each time a new sampling period is started.
PERCENT DONE
Percent Done displays the percentage of a sampling job that is completed at any point in time. This indicator
is not available for Continuous Time sampling since the total samples required is not entered or calculated.
FLOW RATE
Flow Rate displays the rate of flow sensed by the input device based on the K-factor entered. The controller
displays the flow rate in terms of flow per second, per minute, per hour or per day.
TOTAL VOLUME
Total Volume is the volume of pipe flow sensed by the input device (TFM frequency input) during a volume-
based sampling period. The controller calculates and displays pipe flow volume totals in gallons, barrels,
cubic meters, litres, or standard cubic feet. If a different unit is required, a “none” option is also available in
the controller. Volume is updated once per second. Both volume per sampling period (total volume) and total
accumulated volume (grand total volume) are stored in the controller.
Total volume is cleared each time a new sampling period is started.
GRAND TOTAL VOLUME
Grand Total Volume is the total accumulated volume of pipe flow. Unlike total volume, which is zeroed each
time a new sampling period begins; the grand total volume is zeroed only when performing a manual reset.
SYSTEM VOLTAGE
System Voltage displays the DC voltage generated by either the battery or an external power supply after
power is regulated internally.
SAMPLER STATUS
Sampler Status indicates the status of sampler operation. When the sampler is in operation (controller is
placed in “Start” or “Continue” mode), the status will display as “Running.” When performing a test of the
sampler (UPARROW/ TEST), status will display as “Test.” When sampling is manually terminated (controller

True Cut 2000 Sampler Controller

placed in “Stop” mode), status will display as “Stop.” When a sample period has ended, status will display as
“Done.”
FIRMWARE VERSION
It may be helpful to confirm the firmware version if a question arises about the operation of the device. Over
time, multiple firmware versions may be released with varying functionality.
SAMPLES TAKEN
Samples taken during the current sampling period.
