Sample atmosphere runs from the location to the Vertex M system via a line Each of the 24 sample tubing connections on the Vertex M system corresponds to a point. A sample line can be connected directly to a single point or multiple points via a 4-port manifold (PN: 1295-0349) The system draws air simultaneously from all locations.
Page 26: Chemcassette™ Detection System
2.7 Chemcassette™ Detection System The Chemcassette™ Analyzer module is a self- contained, microprocessor controlled analyzer that occupies one slot in a Vertex M. Sample lines and the vacuum source are connected to the Chemcassette™ via a single 10-tube connector. The system powers up in the same state as when powered down. Data is stored in the module’s memory until the data acquisition computer retrieves it.

All of this is sketched in Figure 8.28. Figure 8.28 The Vertex M presents status as an array of 244 byte as described in Table 8-10 . The values of these data are defined in tables 8-8 and 8-9. Optional gateways translate this data into a variety of fieldbus protocols as listed in Table 8.11.
Page 230 Risk of undetected communication loss – it is essential that external automation equipment which communicate with the Vertex M monitor the "Heartbeat" byte 81. (Or the low byte of word 40) A failure of the heartbeat to increment must be treated as a complete loss of gas monitoring.
