8.4 Auto-collector operating procedures
IMPORTANT: The Auto-collector software does not communicate with the PILS and
therefore has no information about liquid flow rate. It is up to the user to configure the
vial fill time properly so that the vials are filled with an appropriate volume of water.
WARNING: When installing the vial-holding carousel to the carousel turn ta-
ble, be sure to properly align the locating pin on the turn table with the small hole in
the vial-holding carousel. Improper installation of the carousel will cause the needle
to strike the carousel resulting in damage and failure of the Auto-collector. See figure
25 for proper orientation.
Ensure that the small locating pin on the carousel turn table is inserted properly inside
the mating hole on the carousel. Note that an arrow cutout on the carousel turn table
points to the locating pin for easy reference. Once the carousel is resting flat on the turn

sampling.
Be sure to drain the Auto-collector drain bottle when it is full.
