  • Page 26: Sdi-12 Cable Wiring

    One end of item # 630146 has flying leads for connecting to an SDI-12 device or a Signal Output Adapter for the SDI- 12 device (e.g. YSI EXO1 and YSI EXO2). The other end of this cable is connected to the SDI-12 input on the ProSample P-12 or ProSample PM-12.

  • Page 27: Programming

    2. Analog Input Trigger: The ProSample will begin collecting samples when a 4-20 mA device (e.g. YSI Amazon Bubbler or YSI IQSN sensor) meets user-defined sampling criteria. All ProSample models can be used for this sampling scenario. See page 32.

  • Page 28: Stand-Alone Sampling

    Stand-Alone Sampling The ProSample will collect samples at a user-defined interval. All ProSample models can be used for this sampling scenario. A flow signal cable and/or SDI-12 cable is not required to run this program. NOTE: The settings modified in the section Configure Key Instrument Settings on page 22 will be applied to each and every program, so it is important these settings are carefully set before starting any program.
  • Page 29 5. The Bottle Fill Time is displayed. If using a composite bottle, Bottle Fill Time determines how long the program will run. As an example, if Sampling Interval is set to 15 minutes, Sample Volume is set to 100 mL, and Bottle Fill Time is set to 2 hours, then the ProSample will collect 100 mL of sample every 15 minutes for 2 hours, resulting in a total of 800 mL of sample collected.

  • Page 32: Analog Input Trigger

    Analog Input Trigger In this type of program, sampling will only occur when the trigger criteria are met. If the trigger criteria are no longer met while the program is active, sampling will pause. Sampling will continue if and when the trigger criteria are met again and will continue until the program is complete.
  • Page 33 5. Input a 0/4 mA value. In this example, 4 will be entered. After entering a value, press the Enter key. 6. Input a 20 mA value. In this example, 20 will be entered. After entering a value, press the Enter key. 7.
  • Page 34 9. The ProSample will request a Deadband be entered. If a High Setpoint is entered, Deadband is the value which the mA signal must drop below before sampling no longer occurs. As an example, if 10 mA is the High Setpoint and a Deadband of 0.5 is entered, the mA signal must drop below 9.5 mA before sampling no longer occurs.
  • Page 35 14. Enter a Sampling Interval. This determines how often a sample will be collected and is determined by the user based on the application and sampling requirements. Press the Enter key to begin modifying the program. 15. The Sample Volume is displayed. This is the amount of sample that will be collected at each Sampling Interval.

  • Page 38: Analog Input Volume Modulation

    Analog Input Volume Modulation In this type of program, the ProSample will begin collecting samples when a 4-20 mA device (e.g. YSI Amazon Bubbler or YSI IQSN sensor) meet user-defined sampling criteria. The amount of sample collected depends upon the 4-20 mA signal.
  • Page 39 5. Enter a Var Sample Interval. This determines how often a sample will be collected and is determined by the user based on the application and sampling requirements. 6. The Var Sample Volume 20 mA is displayed. This is the amount of solution that should be collected when the mA signal is 20 mA.
  • Page 40 9. The Var Max. Sample Volume is displayed. Enter a value that is larger than the Var Sample Volume 20 mA (see step #6) but smaller than or equal to the maximum sample volume of the containers being used (e.g. 1000 mL when using 1000 mL bottles).
  • Page 41 13. Last Bottle is displayed. Enter the bottle number in which the last sample should be placed. Press the Enter key. 14. The More Settings menu is displayed. Highlight Programming OK and press the Enter key. The Programs menu is displayed. 15.

  • Page 42: Digital Pulse Input Trigger

    This sampling scenario can only be completed with the ProSample P-12. The SDI-12 cable with flying leads (item #630146) must be used. Please refer to the SDI-12 Cable with Flying Leads section on page 26 or contact YSI assistance when setting up this sampling scenario. NOTE: The settings modified in the section Configure Key Instrument Settings on page 22 will be applied to each and every program, so it is important these settings are carefully set before starting any program.
  • Page 43 7. Highlight Time and press the Enter key. 8. Enter a Sampling Interval. This determines how often a sample will be collected and is determined by the user based on the application and sampling requirements. Press the Enter key to begin modifying the program.
  • Page 44 As another example of discrete sampling, if Sampling Interval is set to 15 minutes, Sample Volume is set to 100 mL, and Bottle Fill Time is set to 45 minutes (i.e. three times longer than Sampling Time), then each bottle is filled three times and each bottle will contain 300 mL of sample.

  • Page 45: Data Pulse Input Event

    Digital Pulse Input Event In this program, sampling will occur each time the ProSample receives a pulse from a digital device (e.g. a data logger). Please refer to the user manual of your device to ensure it is programmed as desired. All ProSample models can be used for this sampling scenario.
  • Page 46 4. The Sample Volume is displayed. This is the amount of sample that will be collected at each Sampling Interval. The Sample Volume is determined by the user based on the application and sampling requirements. Press the Enter key to begin modifying the program.

  • Page 48: Sdi-12 Parameter-Driven Sampling

    SDI-12 Parameter-Driven Sampling In this sampling scenario, the ProSample will collect samples based upon measurements from an SDI-12 device (e.g. YSI EXO3 sonde). This sampling scenario can only be completed with the ProSample P-12 and ProSample PM-12. Please refer to the SDI-12 Cable Wiring section on page 26 when connecting the SDI-12 device to the ProSample.
  • Page 49 3. Highlight an SDI-12 CHANNEL to configure and press the Enter key. NOTE: Select a different input channel for each SDI-12 parameter that will be used to trigger sampling. The input channel selected for each parameter should match the channel configured for that parameter on the SDI-12 device.
  • Page 50 8. Trigger Channel is displayed. To collect samples using the Event method, highlight Event, then press the Enter key. To collect samples using the Continuous method, highlight Start Prg. 1, then press the Enter key. NOTE: If more than one SDI-12 parameter is set to trigger sampling, only the continuous method can be used.
  • Page 51 13. The Bottle Fill Time is displayed. If using a composite bottle, Bottle Fill Time determines how long the program will run. As an example, if Sampling Interval is set to 15 minutes, Sample Volume is set to 100 mL, and Bottle Fill Time is set to 2 hours, then the ProSample will collect 100 mL of sample every 15 minutes for 2 hours, resulting in a total of 800 mL of sample collected.

  • Page 54: Maintenance And Cleaning

    Maintenance and Cleaning Draining the Bottom Sampler Housing On the ProSample P and ProSample P-12, there is a drain plug in the center of the bottom sampler housing. This drain can be removed when cleaning the sampler housing, removing any spilled solution, or when draining any ice used to keep collected samples cold.

  • Page 55: Peristaltic Pump Tube Replacement

    YSI does not have a recommended replacement interval for the peristaltic pump tube, as the lifetime of the tube varies based on application. As an example, if the sampler is used at the outlet of a plant, the sampling environment is likely relatively clean with little/no solids.

  • Page 56: Changing The Fuse(S)

    Changing the Fuse(s) If the ProSample is not operating as expected, it may be necessary to change one of the two fuses installed in the ProSample – 8A and 2A. To remove the fuse, rotate as outlined in the picture below and pull out. Insert the replacement fuse and tighten.

  • Page 57: Factory Reset

    Factory Reset A factory reset can reset all settings to the factory default. Please note that all setting and data will be deleted when completing a factory reset. To complete a factory reset: 1. Turn OFF the ProSample. 2. Hold the power key and the Back key at the same time. 3.
