the forward direction and starts to collect the sample.
9. Push STOP when the volume that is specified in the sampling program is collected.
10. Push Finish to complete the calibration or Retry to do the calibration again.
11. Connect the outlet tubing to the tube fitting on the sampler.
12. Push Exit to exit the volume calibration menu.
Verify the sample volume
To make sure that the sample volume is accurate, get a grab sample. Do not go back into calibration
to check the volume since the volume compensation is reset to zero at the start of a calibration.
1. Push MANUAL OPERATION.
2. Select Grab Sample.
3. Put the intake tubing into the sample water.
4. Put the tubing from the outlet side of the pump into a graduated cylinder.

Start or stop the program

Start the sampling program to collect samples. Temporarily stop the sampling program to remove
samples, do manual operation or do a calibration. Stop the sampling program to change the
sampling program, the data log settings or the channel alarms.
Note: When data logging is configured, data logging is done even when the sampling program is temporarily
stopped.
