The suction line is the tubing from the sampling point to the pump intake. The 6712SR uses a lengths 3 to 99 feet. Teledyne Isco offers vinyl or Teflon® suction lines. The Teflon® tubing has a polyethylene jacket to protect it from kinks and abrasions.

The volume is determined by the programmed value. The volume is dependent on the volume per revolution of the pump, which is dependent on the suction head. The 6712SR delivers the sample by counting the pump revolutions and automatically compensating for the suction head.
CAUTION When using the 6712SR sampler with a 750 or 710 module, transmitters such as cell phones or walkie talkies must not be operated within 3 meters of the sampler. If water level readings are fluctuating due to TV/radio station transmitter towers in the area, the sampler must be relocated.
The refrigerator’s lower compartment is not watertight. Do not install in a location where the refrigerator’s lower compartment could become submerged. The 6712SR sampler can be used in conjunction with several types of external instruments. To connect the sampler to a teledyne Isco open-channel flow...

Table 7-4. To use telephone commands: 1. Dial the sampler’s telephone number. When the sampler connects, it answers with “Teledyne Isco Sampler Site [number].” If the sampler does not receive a touch-tone command in five seconds, it assumes that a computer modem has called and initiates the modem connect sequence.

8.2.1 Refrigerator 8.2.2 Controller This section describes how to maintain and troubleshoot your 6712SR sampler. If you think your unit requires repair, or if you have questions concerning its operation or maintenance, contact Teledyne Isco’s Technical Service Department: Phone: (800) 228-4373...
7. Replace the back panel and front grille. Clean sampling equipment is essential for valid laboratory analysis. Teledyne Isco recommends that you develop cleaning protocols in consultation with a laboratory analyst when designing the monitoring program. For example, to clean sample...
3. Acid wash with at least 20 percent hydrochloric acid. 4. Dishwasher cycle (wash and tap water rinse, no detergent). 5. Replace in covered Teledyne Isco tubs. • Use new suction line for each new sampling setup, therefore, no cleaning is required.
Teledyne Isco ships samplers from the factory with the clocks set to the correct Central Standard Time. Reset the clock when installing the sampler in a different time zone, for daylight savings time, or when needed.
You can change the alarm count to represent the pump tube life for your application. The example below shows how to set the alarm count and reset the pump counts. STOP to return to the main menu. 6712SR Refrigerated Sampler Section 8 Maintenance Press STOP to return to the main menu.
You do not need to run the diagnostic tests on a routine basis. The diagnostic tests are a troubleshooting tool; Teledyne Isco’s Customer Service department staff may ask you to run these tests when they work with you in diagnosing problems with your sampler.

Memory Test – Screens 1 and 2 at left show you the diagnostic tests for the unit’s memory. If either screen shows you a message saying that the memory failed the test, contact Teledyne Isco’s Customer Service. Display Test – Screen 3 shows you the display test. You should see the test pattern illustrated in the screen.
Use this option cau- tiously. Replace the pump tube only with Teledyne Isco’s 6712 pump tubing. Other pump tubes will not work. The 6712 pump tubing is easily recognized by the blue alignment collars.
Page 157
Note To extend the pump-tube life: • Always use Teledyne Isco pump tubes. • Install the tube properly, aligning the blue collars correctly in the liquid detector’s grooves. • Follow the natural curve of the tube when wrapping the tube around the pump rollers.
