3700 Portable Samplers
Section 3 Programming Guidelines

• How to start and restart the monitoring installation
Equipment Checklist – The equipment listed below is sug-
gested for typical storm-event monitoring:
• 3700 Sampler and power source.
You can use a 2-, 4-, 8-, or 24-bottle configuration for
STORM routines (depending on which 3700 model you
have)
• 4200 Series Flow Meter or 4100 Series Flow Logger, and
power source
• A Sampler-to-Flow Meter Connect Cable
Optional Equipment Checklist –
• Rain gauge with cable and connector (Rain gauges are
required for rain-event triggered sampling)
• Flowlink software (requires IBM-compatible computer
system)
Although the flow meter contains the sampler-enable
conditions most often used in storm water runoff
monitoring, you can use the Flowlink system to
download many additional sample enable conditions to
the flow meter. Refer to the Flowlink help menu for
more information.
• Interrogator communication line kit to connect a
computer to the flow meter.
This kit provides the computer-to-flow meter cabling.
Isco Flow Meters can also be equipped with a modem to
communicate with Flowlink over standard telephone
lines.
• Solar Panel Battery Charger.
Installation Checklist – This checklist summarizes the four
steps required to set up a storm-monitoring installation:
1. Program and install the flow meter. Install the rain gauge,
if used.
You can program 4200 Series Flow Meters for sampler
enable control conditions from the flow meter front panel
or use Flowlink and a computer to download the desired
condition. The 4100 Series Flow Loggers must be pro-
grammed with Flowlink.
NOTE: You can program the sampler to start the routine
at an exact time and date with a start-time entry. You do
not need to use a flow meter to enable the sampler.
2. Program and install the sampler.
Programming the sampler includes adjusting certain con-
figuration option settings as well as entering the STORM
program settings. Table 3-7 lists the configure options and
their recommended STORM settings.
3. Connect the flow meter to the sampler with the connect
cable.
4. Turn the flow meter on. Turn the sampler on and start the
sampling routine by pressing the start sampling key.
Connect the flow meter to the sampler and start the flow
