The Clif Mock True Cut 2000 Sampler Controller is an electronic controller that can be used to control any pneumatic device.
When paired with a liquid/gas sample pump, the device is ideal for sampling liquid or gas flow streams.
The controller can be configured to act as a timer or a pulse counter for sampling product in proportion to time or volume.
This design allows external pacing devices such as positive displacement meters, turbines meters, or dry contact closures from computers to control the sampling frequency.
The controller consists of a weatherproof fiberglass enclosure with a window for viewing a dual LCD and a six-key keypad, a solenoid, battery pack and electronic circuitry.
With three different power options, the device can be used in a variety of applications and locations.
A lithium battery pack typically provides autonomous power for 15 months or longer when the device is configured for 30-minute sampling intervals.
Where solar power is desired, the controller is equipped with a rechargeable lead acid battery.
An external DC power supply can also be used to power the device, in which case the lithium battery provides backup protection.
The controller supports inputs from both turbine meters and pulse-generating devices such as the contact closure input of a positive displacement meter.
Frequency settings for pulse inputs can be read from a preconfigured EFM device or entered manually.
While external communications are not required for operating the True Cut 2000 controller, external Modbus communicating devices or Modbus SCADA systems can be connected to the controller for collecting real-time data or for configuring the controller remotely.
The unit is CSA certified as an intrinsically safe device for use in Class I, Division 1, Groups C and D hazardous areas when installed in accordance with Cameron instructions.
