CVS4200 / BVS4300 Stationary Samplers Introduction The CVS4200-series and BVS4300-series Stationary Samplers are automatic liquid samplers for water and wastewater applications. They use reliable, long- lasting, vacuum technology. This sampling method results in faster sample draws and less disturbance of the sample contents. There is also less wear on the tubing, resulting in less-frequent maintenance.

CVS4200 / BVS4300 Stationary Samplers Operating Sequence 7.3.1 Sampling Sequence SAMPLING PROCESS: High pressure air purge of intake hose. Liquid is drawn into the metering chamber, up to the liquid sensing rod. All excess liquid is purged from the system down to the level set by the volume control tube.
CVS4200 / BVS4300 Stationary Samplers If programmed with the FAULT SHUTDOWN “disabled”, the sampler will not make a second attempt to draw the sample, but will simply abandon it and await the next sample initiation. Neither will the unit suspend the sampling program after consecutive failures.
CVS4200 / BVS4300 Stationary Samplers 7.4.2 Liquid Sensing Rod This probe, also called the “level control rod”, is used to stop the sample intake.
