Installing At A Sampling Site; Suction Hose Connection, Positioning, And Length - YSI ProSample Series User Manual

Installing at a Sampling Site

The ProSample unit must be placed on a steady, level surface.
YSI recommends carefully planning out the installation location before drilling any holes, cutting any tubing, etc.
The ProSample should be installed in a location where the sample temperature is between 0 °C and 40 °C. The
sampler should not be exposed to explosive substances or an environment with an explosive atmosphere.
A
WARNING: If the unit is to be continuously connected to AC power, ensure the electrical supply is sufficiently
protected against short circuits.

Suction Hose Connection, Positioning, and Length

The suction hose is the hose that will transport water from the sampling site to the sampler. The other key consideration
when installing a ProSample unit is the correct positioning of the suction hose. One end of the suction hose connects
to the intermediate tube, while the other end of the suction hose is placed in the environment where samples are
collected.
NOTICE: The connectors on the ProSample intermediate tube and suction hose are ¾ inch-14BSPP. If not using
a YSI suction hose (5, 10, and 20 meter available), ensure the suction hose being used has a ¾ inch-
14BSPP connection. A ¾ inch-14BSPP female connection (item # 630127) is available if the suction
hose being used does not have a ¾ inch-14BSPP connection.
There is a small gasket zip-tied to the suction hose upon delivery. Place this gasket in the suction hose connector
before connecting the suction hose to the intermediate tube. This gasket prevents air from getting in the line, thus
ensuring accurate dispensing of solution.
