IV. Installing the Water Sampler
a. The sampler should be placed upright (it will not work if placed on its back or
side).
b. Remove the pickup hoses and connect to the sampler using the quick-
disconnect fittings on the side of the enclosure. Place the protective caps over
the protective quick-disconnect plugs and save for future use.
c. To secure the sample bottles:
1. Screw the bottle cap/float switch onto the sample bottle
2. Place the bottles into the sampler enclosure
3. Insert the end of the peristaltic pump's hose in the hole at the top of the
bottle cap
4. Plug the float switch lead into the jack on the front of the control panel
The sampling unit can be secured from vandalism and strong winds by one of
d.
the following methods:
1. Mount unit on post and lock closed
2. Lock closed and chain handles to a solid structure (such as a tree, post, or
building)
3. Enclose and lock unit in a steel electrical box
e. Avoid drilling holes in the enclosure if possible. If holes must be drilled in the
enclosure avoid drilling through the control panel enclosure. Any holes drilled
through the enclosure must be sealed with some type of sealant to prevent
water from entering the case and causing equipment failure.
f. The unit is water resistant, not water proof. The unit must be located well
above the expected water level to continue to provide reliable service.
V.
Installing the Pickup Hose
Remove the pickup hoses from the enclosure and connect to the sampler using the
quick-disconnect fittings. Place the protective caps over the protective plugs and save
for future use. When storing the hoses inside the enclosure, replace the protective caps
and plugs to keep the fittings clean of dirt and contamination. The pickup hoses should
be installed in a wastewater discharge channel or stream. The pickup strainers should
be submerged under water and should be situated to avoid contact with the channel
bottom.
