Power Used The 6700SR has a “fuel gauge” that gives an indication of power us- age. The controller keeps track of how much power has been con- sumed since the last time it lost power. If the controller is powered by an external battery, this fuel gauge can help you estimate the condition of the battery.

6700SR Refrigerated Sampler Event pacing uses the combination of both the programmed enable conditions and the external enable (pin F of the external flow meter connector) to determine the enable state. Each time it becomes en- abled, the sampler takes one sample, placing it in one bottle. The sampler must become disabled between events.
6700SR Refrigerated Sampler Multiple Bottle Compositing Multiple bottle compositing is a combination of bottles-per-sample and samples-per-bottle. At each sample event, the sampler depos- its a sample into a set of bottles. It moves to a new bottle set only after each bottle of the first set contains the programmed number of samples.

If you program the sampler to stay enabled and choose to take a sample at enable, the sample interval will be reset at the enable time.
6700SR Refrigerated Sampler A sampler running a pause/resume program resets the pacing in- terval at each resume time. You can program the sampler to take a sample at resume times. (See screen 24.) Start Times It is important to understand the difference between the time at Select RUN which you run a program and the program’s start time.

6700SR Refrigerated Sampler Note Flowlink 3 can not handle reports longer than 40 columns. If you are using Flowlink 3 to get your reports, you must limit the number of YSI parameters used to three (level can not be one of these three if flow rate and flow volume are calculated from the YSI level reading).
