ISOLOK SAL-Q Sampler
possible problem(s)
Buildup in sample spool cavity or
sampler nose
Issues with power source and/or air
connections
Issues with pneumatic and/or
electric power source
remedy
Check sample spool cavity for
buildup; if present, add flush or air
eject provision to sampler body
Check sampler nose for buildup;
if present on nose or pipe wall
interior, remove the body from the
line frequently and clean it using
plant procedures
Check power source and air
connections; connect as required
Check air lines for proper
connection, as plunger must dwell
retracted; air lines connected
backwards will cause sampler to
dwell (pause) extended into the
process line
Check for air bind; depending
on the density of the product
sampled, this sometimes can be
resolved by opening a top port on
the sampler
Check sampler operating air
pressure and process line
pressures; operating air pressure
must be sufficient to move
the plunger against process
pressure . Issue may be resolved
by increasing or decreasing air to
sampler or relocating sampler .
Verify correct 115V or other
specified power to controller
If using a remote contact unit,
check the output signal to the
controller from the flow meter;
check purchase records, and
if an incorrect output signal
was specified, contact Sentry
Equipment
Secure a qualified technician to
run a complete operating check
of timing circuits, remote contact
inputs and/or counter inputs that
sequence the electric or pneumatic
power valve
