Atlas Cart Review

Introduction
• We bought this cart to meet an urgent need and accepted Atlas’s cart
version of the sampling manifold. They offer a different cabinet
version.
• Questions:
• If this is the accepted hardware for some customers, can we in fact use this
for AMC?
• Is a combination of metal plumbing and general purpose valves acceptable?
• Is there any use to this cart and/or the sampling manifold (alone or together)?

Cart Pic’s (Warrington)

Cart Pic’s (Warrington)
• Advantech ARK 2120 computer
• Software only loads when
sampling manifold detected
• Multiple user levels
Cart Pic’s (Warrington)
• Cumbersome S/W
interface (would get
easier to use after
initial learning
curve)
Cart Pic’s (Warrington)
• May have more
flexibility than
obvious, but history
and real-time
screens don’t look
very user friendly
Cart Pic’s (Warrington)
• Main screen has most of the
relevant info and shows valve
sequencing.
