NOTE The Geotech Geocontrol PRO cannot be made dangerous or unsafe as a result of failure due to EMC interference. W RNING Do not operate this equipment if it has visible signs of significant physical damage other than normal wear and tear.
Chapter 1: System Description Function and Theory The Geocontrol PRO is a unique controller for operating down well bladder type sampling pumps. When an external 12 VDC power source is connected to the controller, the internal air compressor is capable of producing a pressure of 100 PSI (7 bar). This pressure allows the user to take samples from a depth to 180 feet (55 mm).
To operate the Geocontrol PRO, make sure the power switch is in the “off “position (rocker in down position). Plug the power input cord into a fuse protected 12V lighter receptacle on a negatively grounded system.
Double check 12V system positive and negative are not reversed at any connection point. Before turning the power switch “on” turn the Geocontrol PRO’s “Fill” and “Discharge” timer knobs to adjust the cycle times. These knobs are located on the front face of the Geocontrol PRO below the airline pressure gauge.

The air line pressure gauge can be utilized to maximize efficiency. s a general rule, the pressure indicated on the gauge should not exceed an equivalent depth to water pressure. 1 PSI = 2.31 feet (1 bar=1.02 m) of water. Once the bladder in the pump is empty of liquids the pressure will in- crease sharply.
Unit must be returned to Geotech Environmental Equipment for any service. In order to ensure a long service life, keep the Geocontrol PRO clean. Often a soft, damp cloth can be used to remove dust and dirt from the exterior surfaces of the Geocontrol PRO. In extreme cases, or to remove aged caked on dirt and dust, a mild soap and water solution can be applied to a soft cloth and used to clean the exterior surfaces of the Geocontrol PRO.
Geocontrol PRO, call Geotech Service at 1-800-833-7958 to arrange for the equipment to be sent back to a factory authorized repair location. • If pressure can be built at the air outlet on the front of the Geocontrol PRO while the compres- sor is running:...

While the compressor is running, very little air discharge should be felt at the pump discharge fitting. The pressure gauge on the front of the Geocontrol PRO should in- dicate a rise in pressure. If this does not occur and a continuous air flow can still be felt at the pump fluid discharge fitting, then the bladder, or bladder seal, has been compro- mised and should be repaired or replaced.
• Operation with dedicated pump systems and special purpose well caps. • pprox. 45 to 60 minute operation with 7.5 h lead acid battery (Battery Module w/o Charger, Geotech PN: 77250001). • Reverse polarity protection. • C adapter optional for use with world mains connection.
