2.2.1 Standard Base Section
2.2.2 Compact Base Section
To place your sampler into operation, prepare the base section,
attach the suction line, connect a power source, place the sampler
at the sampling site, place the suction line properly in the liquid
source, and interface an external flow meter (if used) with the
sampler. You can program the sampler on site or in the office.
Guidelines for programming the sampler are in Section 3.
Disassemble the case by separating the cover and base from the
center section. To remove the cover, unlatch the three black
rubber draw catches and lift off the cover. To gain access to the
base section, unlatch the three lower stainless steel latches and
lift the center section straight up. Reassemble the case by
reversing this procedure.
The 3700 Standard's sequential base section, is supplied with 24
wide-mouth, cylindrical glass bottles with a capacity of 350 ml
each or 24 wide-mouth, wedge-shaped polypropylene bottles with
a capacity of 1,000 ml each. Although sets of glass and plastic
bottles are interchangeable in the base, you cannot mix glass and
plastic bottles in the same base.
The 3700 Standard is shipped from the factory with the sample
bottles in place. For first-time use, the only preparation nec-
essary will be to remove the bottle caps. You can store these
bottle caps in the center of the base, if you are not using ice.
For subsequent uses, place new or cleaned bottles in the base.
Take care that all bottles are fitted properly into the base before
replacing the bottle retaining ring. All 24 bottles must be
installed in the base to assure that they are properly held in
place. The bottle numbers molded into the base indicate the
order in which the bottles are filled.
On the 3700 Compact, the inner sleeve is numerically coded to
indicate which bottle is which. You can choose whichever bottle
configuration(s) you wish for your sampler when you order it.
The center section of the 3700 Compact is keyed so it will only go
on the proper way because it is important that the distributor
arm stops at the first bottle to ensure proper sequencing.
