    NOTICE Delicate internal electronic components can be damaged by static electricity, resulting in indeterminate instrument performance or eventual failure. Smart Storm recommends taking the following steps to prevent ESD damage to your instrument: • Before touching any instrument electronic components (such as printed circuit cards and the components on them) discharge static electricity from your body.

    3. Introduction The Hydrocell Wastewater Sampler Range is designed to collect composite (flow, event or time proportional) samples of trade effluent discharges in industrial applications. The bottles available for sampling in the Hydrocell gives flexibility in sampling and collecting, allowing both Continuous and Single Programmed Sequences to be performed. The large display and touch screen is simple, user friendly programming and clear reporting of the Sampler Status.
  • Page 8: Intake Hose Connection

    4.3. Intake Hose Connection The Hydrocell can be supplied with a 10-meter length of braided intake hose. One end of the intake hose should be attached to the Peristaltic Pump and secured with a suitable Jubilee Clip. The other end should be placed in the effluent at the point from which the sample is to be taken.

    5. Operating the Hydrocell Home Screen Figure 5.1A HC1 Home Screen The Home Screen provides information about the status of the Hydrocell. This also shows how full the sample bottle is. The System Status is displayed at the top left of the screen immediately above the Stop/Start and Spot Sample Buttons.

    Display Setup Display Setup button allows access to Screens giving information regarding the Set-Up and History of the Hydrocell. Figure 5.1B HC1 Display Setup A button is provided to access the Menu for configuring the Hydrocell. The Home Screen is also used to empty Bottles and take Spot Samples.

    Start/Stop Button Figure 5.2 HC1 Pressing the Stop Button When the Stop Button is pressed, the Button will change to a green Start Button and the System Status will change depending on the Programming Mode of the Hydrocell. If the Hydrocell is in Continuous Mode, the System Status will show STOP and sampling will re commence once the start button is pressed If the Hydrocell is in Programmed Mode, the System Status will show PAUSE and sampling will re commence once the start button is pushed.
  • Page 12: Spot Sample Button

    Spot Sample Button The Spot Sample Button is used to take a Manual Sample. This is typically used to check the operation of the sampler (calibration and functionality) or to take an immediate, non- composite sample for testing. Figure 5.2 HC1 Spot Sample When the SPOT SAMPLE Button is pressed, the Button changes to a red STOP Button.

    Finally, the Hydrocell will carry out a Post Purge designed to evacuate the INTAKE HOSE of any liquid. At the end of the Spot Sample Sequence the Hydrocell will return to its previous Status and the percentage volume in the Bottle will increase by the volume set on the Sampling Page. N.B.
  • Page 14 Figure 5.4B HC1 Emptying button Once you have pressed the EMPTY Button, the volume will be reset to 0% and the Hydrocell can now take a Sample. N.B. Emptying the Bottle only resets the volume of the Bottle it does not physically empty the Bottle! After resetting the volume, it is essential that all the effluent is removed from the Bottle to prevent overfilling.

    5.2.1 Password The Hydrocell is configured from the Menu Screens. These are accessed by pressing the Menu Button on the Home Screen and entering the Password. Fig 6.1 HC1 Password Screen The Password is factory set to 2010 and if correctly entered the MENU Screen will appear. The Hydrocell will be placed in PAUSED mode whilst accessing the Menu and will need to return to RUNNING when the Menu is exited.

    The large Run Mode Button returns the Hydrocell to the Home Screen. The Engineering Button is only accessible when the Engineering Password is entered. For further information please contact Smart Storm. The Menu will time-out 15 minutes after no button is pressed to prevent the Hydrocell being left in a PAUSED state.

  • Page 19: Choosing The Sample Size

    4.3.1 Choosing the Sample Size The Hydrocell is designed to fill the bottle to approximately 95% of its volume and stop. Ideally the sample should be Flow Proportional i.e. more samples should be taken when the flow is high, and the bottle should fill over the entire time the Bottle is Active. Consider a Bottle which is Active for a period of 24 hours (e.g.

  • Page 21: Reset Pump Tube

    Reset Pump Tube A Button is provided to reset the time the Peristaltic Pump Tube has been installed. Pressing this Button and confirming will reset the values displayed on the Settings Screen to indicate when the Pump Tube should be changed. Typically, a pump Tube will last around 100 hours, although this is dependent on the nature of the effluent.
  • Page 22: Sampling Mode

    Sampling Mode Several different trigger methods are available to initiate a sample request on the Hydrocell • Timed (all versions) – A sample is taken after the specified number of minutes. This method does not give a Flow Proportional Composite Sample. Samples are taken even when there is no flow.
  • Page 23 Fig 6.2 HC1 Sampling Menu Sampling Menu Description: • Run Continuously: o If not checked: When the sample Bottle is 95% full or at the end of the current day, it will automatically stop. This is the safest mode of operation and prevents overflow.
  • Page 24 • Purge: Purge the tube. • Sample Sequence: A sample sequence consists of a minimum of 3 cycles: o Purge: The pump runs in reverse and pumps air down the tube into the sample vessel. This clears the tube of any debris or stale sample. o Sample: The pump then sucks a sample through to the 10L container.
