2. Hardware Interfaces

The AutoSampler8 connects directly to the SmartSampler2 using the dedicated Module port.
Key hardware elements include:

Module Connector

• Provides power, communication, and control
• Weatherproof locking connector for outdoor use

8-Position Sampling Manifold

• Directs gas or liquid flow to the selected sample position
• Supports sealed bags, vials, or external containers

Dual Pumps

• High-Flow Pump: For fast flushing and clearing the system
• Peristaltic Pump: For precise and low-shear sample transfer

Inline Flush Valve

• Minimizes cross-contamination between sample positions
• Ensures cleaner transitions, especially in gas sampling applications

External Tubing Interface

• Compatible with standard tubing sizes for gas or liquid feed
• Supports flexible pump height and tubing length depending on installation

Module-to-Module Support

• Up to five AutoSampler8 Modules can be operated from one SmartSampler2
• Each module can be individually controlled and logged
