1.1 Sampler Overview The 5800 Refrigerated Sampler is an automated wastewater

sampler that can collect liquid samples from a variety of sources
including open channels, sewers, and storm pipe conduits.
This indoor/outdoor use sampler is made of durable UV-resistant
plastic that provides exceptional resistance to corrosion and
weathering. Most notably, the refrigerator body is made from
rotationally molded linear low-density polyethylene. This unique
construction material was selected for its strength, durability,
and its ability to withstand temperature extremes. The system is
rated for –29 to 49 °C (–20 to 120 °F) operation. The hollow
cavities are filled with foam insulation. To protect the non-CFC
sys tem, all refrigerat ion parts ar e pow der coated w ith
heat-treated polyester.
Unattended sample collection events can be triggered by time
intervals (time pacing), or by flow volume measured by an
external flow measurement device (flow pacing or constant
v olu me variable t ime ). T eledyn e ISCO flow meter s are
compatible flow measurement devices, as well as any device that
can provide a 5 to 15 VDC pulse or contact closure of at least
25 mS duration, or a linear 4-20 mA current loop signal. An
external device can also disable the sampler until measured site
conditions are met, at which time the sampler begins the
automated collection.
The sampler’s pump can deliver the liquid through a 9 mm (3/8")
suction line at transport velocities of at least 0.9 meters per
second (3.0 ft/sec) at 0.9 m (3.0 ft) of head. The transport velocity
at 7.6 m (25 ft) of head is 0.67 m/sec (2.2 ft/sec). The maximum
lifting height of the sampler is 8 m (28 ft). To produce accurate
and repeatable samples, the pump uses a pump revolution
counter and non-contacting liquid detector.
The collected samples are stored inside the refrigerated
compartment and cooled for sample preservation. Samples can
be deposited into a single bottle (composite), or collected as
discrete samples, each into a separate bottle of a multi-bottle
rack (sequential), or a combination of these modes. The cooled
samples are maintained until an operator can remove them from
the sampler and deliver them to the laboratory.

in shipping, do not plug it into an AC power source. Contact
Teledyne ISCO or its authorized representative for advice.
Compare the contents of the boxes with the enclosed
packing slip. If there are any shortages, contact Teledyne
ISCO immediately.
2.2 5800 Sampler The following sections provide general instructions for placing
Installation Overview the sampler into operation. In typical applications, the steps are:
1. Position the sampler. (Section 2.3)
2. Connect power. (2.4)
3. Install a bottle kit. (2.5)
4. Attach the suction line. (2.6)
5. Attach a strainer. (2.7)
6. Route the suction line and strainer. (2.8)
7. Connect external instruments. (2.9)
8. Configure and program the sampler. (2.10)
9. Lock the sampler. (2.11)
2.3 Positioning the There are a few considerations when selecting a site for the
Sampler sampler. The foremost concern should be personal safety.
WARNING
The installation and use of this product may subject you to
dangerous working conditions that can cause you serious
or fatal injuries. Take any necessary precautions before
entering the worksite. Install and operate this product in
accordance with all applicable safety and health
regulations, and local ordinances.

WARNING
If this product is used in a manner not specified in this
manual, the protection provided by the equipment may be
impaired.
WARNING
This product has not been approved for use in hazardous
locations as defined by the National Electrical Code.
WARNING
The sampler is heavy. When lifting, use a two-person lift at
the points identified in Table 1-1. When possible, move the
sampler using a two-wheeled hand cart from the back. To
prevent damage to the refrigeration system, do not tip the
sampler more than 45°.
• Dangerous locations – If you must enter a manhole,

confined space, or other dangerous location to install the
suction line and strainer, observe standard safety
precautions. Refer to Appendix B for a discussion of
safety considerations.
• Support – The sampler should be installed on a surface
capable of safely supporting the sampler, full liquid
containers, and personnel.
• AC Power – The mains line cord is the disconnect device
should you need to remove power. Therefore, the
electrical power outlet should be accessible.
• Environmental – The sampler is designed for outdoor
use. Refer to Table 1-2 for environmental specifications.
When possible, avoid subjecting the sampler to chemical
attacks and direct sunlight.
• Avoid submersion – Although the control panel will
resist damage (rated IP 68; NEMA 4x, 6), the
refrigerator system and bottle compartment cannot
prevent liquid from entering. In the event of
submersion, liquid entering the refrigeration system
could permanently damage the sampler; liquid entering
the bottle compartment could contaminate the collected
samples. Liquid entering the electrical compartment for
the refrigeration system could result in a short circuit
and possible shock hazard.
• Liquid sample collection point – It is best to keep the
distance between the sampler pump and the collection
point as short as possible. The shorter distance will
increase pumping efficiency and pump tubing life. Also,
the pump inlet should be located above the liquid
surface to be sampled with no liquid traps. Gravity will
aid suction line rinses and allow the line to drain,

thereby reducing the possibility of sample

cross-contamination. Refer to Table 1-2 for maximum
suction line lengths and suction head heights.
• Security – The sample compartment and pump and
control panel have a padlock feature, but the location
may need additional security to prevent tampering or
vandalism.
• Accessibility – The sampler must be installed in a
location where personnel can easily exchange bottles
and perform routine service.
The sampler requires about 2600 square centimeters (925
in 2 ) of floor space. Additional space must be allowed in
front of the sampler, at its left and right sides, and above
the sampler. Refer to Figure 2-1. Do not block access to
these areas. Obstructions will make routine servicing
activities difficult or impossible.
The back of the sampler may be placed against a wall as
long as air at the top and bottom of the refrigerator can
flow freely to surrounding air. Unrestricted air flow behind
and around the sampler will allow the refrigeration system
work efficiently.

• Level surface – The sampler should be placed on a level

surface and the feet on the refrigerator body should be
adjusted to prevent tipping or spills. If the sampler is
not level, the sample liquid may miss the bottle mouth.

Note
To level the sampler, place a bubble level on the installed bottle
rack or locating base, then adjust the feet. For one-bottle
configurations, place the bubble level on the side rails.
CAUTION
Do not tip the sampler on its side or back. Tipping the sampler
more than 45° might cause oil to run into the compressor inlet,
which can permanently damage the refrigeration sampler.

2.4 Connecting Power

WARNING
Before connecting the sampler to an AC power source, be
familiar with the Electrical Requirements listed on page v
at the front of this manual.
The factory assembles the sampler for either 100VAC/50 Hz,

115 VAC/60 Hz, or 230 VAC/50 Hz. The serial number label
located inside the refriger ator identifies th e AC power
configuration of your sampler. You cannot convert the sampler in
the field without purchasing a replacement refrigeration module.
The mains power cord for 115 VAC samplers is equipped with a
NEMA 5-15P plug for standard North American outlets. The
mains power cord for 230 VAC samplers is equipped with an
EU-16P plug for standard CEE-7 European outlets. For other
types of outlets that supply compatible AC power, convert the
mains power cord plug with a locally-purchased adapter.
Plug the mains power cord into the outlet. The sampler control
panel will briefly show the start up displays.

If you have selected a multi-bottle kit, first install the distributor

arm and discharge tube (Section 2.5.1), then refer to the
instructions for your selected bottle configuration:
• 24 Bottle configurations – Section 2.5.2
• 4 10L Bottle configurations – Section 2.5.3
• 2 Bottle configurations – Section 2.5.6
• 4 20L Bottle configurations – Section 2.5.5
If you have selected a single (composite) bottle kit, refer to the
instructions in Section 2.5.6.
For first-time use of the sampler, or if you have changed the
bottle kit, be sure to configure the software for the new bottle kit
(Section 3.3.2).
2.5.1 Installing the The sampler is shipped with the distributor arm installed on its
Distributor Arm and mounting shaft inside the refrigerator (Figure 2-3).
Discharge Tube 1. Thread the discharge tube through the body of the
distributor arm.
2. Push the end of the discharge tube up to the outlet hole on
the distributor arm. The end of the tubing should be flush
with, or within 3 mm (1/8") of, the lower edge of the hole.
CAUTION
The discharge tube should not extend more than 3 mm (1/8")
below the hole in the distributor arm. This could cause the
distributor to fail if the excess tubing catches a bottle.
3. Pull on the loose end of the discharge tube to remove any

slack. The tube should follow the contour of the distributor
arm.
4. Push the free end of the discharge tube through the tubing
arm and onto the bulkhead fitting in the top-front corner of
the refrigerator.

A
Figure 2-3 Installing the distributor arm (A) and discharge tube (B)
5. Inspect the discharge tube:
CAUTION
An incorrectly installed discharge tube can cause the
distributor arm to fail. It can also cross-contaminate samples.
To prevent these problems, inspect the discharge tube as
described in the following steps.
a. Manually rotate the arm to make sure that the tube

does not obstruct its movement. If the tube obstructs
arm movement, re-route the discharge tubing.
b. The discharge tube must slope downward from the
bulkhead fitting to the arm throughout the range of
arm motion. Otherwise, liquid may pool in the tube and
cross-contaminate samples.
Note that the discharge tube has a natural curve.
Should the tube create a low spot where liquid can pool,
twist the end of the tube connected to the bulkhead
fitting so that the natural curve holds the tube in a
downward sloping position. Then, retest the tube at
other arm positions.
Note
You can order replacement discharge tubes from Teledyne
ISCO. Order part number 60-9003-279 for a single tube. You
can also order bulk tubing rolls from which you can cut to 20
inches (51 cm). Order part number 68-6700-046 for a 10-foot
roll; 68-6700-047 for a 50-foot roll.
2.5.2 24 Bottles The 24 bottle configurations use a rack to hold and align the
containers. To install the bottles in the refrigerator using the
rack:

1. Place the uncapped bottles in the rack (Figure 2-4).

2. If you are using 350 ml glass bottles, compress the
retaining ring and place it in the center of the rack.
Release the ring and the outward force of the ring will
secure the bottles. (The polypropylene and ProPak® bottles
do not use a retaining ring.)
Note
Bottle caps can be stored in the center of the bottle rack.
3. Locate the back of the rack (arrow, Figure 2-4). This end
has a notch that fits a key on the refrigerator’s rear wall.
4. Lift and insert the back of the rack into the refrigerated
compartment.
Note
There are four metal guides along the sidewall of the
refrigerator, two on each side. The front two guides fit along
the left and right sides of the rack. The back two guides run
along the top of the rack to prevent the rack from tipping
forward.
5. Slide the rack along the guides. Push the rack in until the
left-side latch (inset, Figure 2-5) secures the rack.
Figure 2-4 Insert the keyed end first so that it faces the back of the
refrigerated compartment

Figure 2-5 The 24-bottle rack is held in place by a latch on the left side

2.5.3 4 10L (2.5 Gal) Bottles The four bottle configuration uses a locating base to hold and
align the bottles. To install the base and bottles:
1. Insert the four uncapped bottles into the numbered holes
in the locating base
2. Slide the locating base into the bottom of the refrigerated
compartment (Figure 2-6). Note that the arrow must be
pointing toward the back of the refrigerator.
Note
Bottle caps can be stored between the bottles.
2.5.4 2 Bottles
2.5 gallon bottles The two bottle configuration uses a locating base to hold and
align the bottles. To install the base and bottles:
1. Insert the two uncapped bottles into the holes numbered
“1” and “2” in the locating base
2. Slide the standard locating base into the bottom of the
refrigerated compartment (Figure 2-6). The arrow must
point toward the back of the refrigerator.
Note
When the sampler controller is configured for two bottles
(section 3), samples will only be distributed to bottles 1 and 2.
If you place the bottles in positions 3 or 4 the liquid will miss
the bottle.
Note
Bottles caps can be stored between the bottles.

CAUTION
When the sampler controller is configured for a single 10 liter
bottle (section 3), samples will only be distributed to bottle 1. If

you place the bottle in any other position liquid will miss the
bottle.
20 liter bottle To install the 20 liter bottle:

The distributor arm should be removed to prevent it from being
an obstruction while you replace the bottle. To remove the arm:
1. Remove the knurled nut that secures the distributor arm.
2. Pull the distributor arm downward to remove it from the
keyed shaft.
3. Store the arm in a safe location for future use.
Then install the bottle:
4. Screw the cap with a hole onto the bottle (PE only).
5. Place the bottle in the center of the refrigerator.
6. Feed the discharge tube into the hole (PE only) (see Figure
2-8).
7. Connect the other end of the discharge tube to the
bulkhead fitting at the top-front corner of the refrigerator.
The discharge tube must slope downward from the
bulkhead fitting to the bottle. Otherwise, liquid might pool
in the tube and cross-contaminate samples.
Note that the discharge tube has a natural curve. Should
the tube create a low spot where liquid can pool, twist the
end of the tube connected to the bulkhead fitting so that
the natural curve holds the tube in a downward sloping
position.

2.6 Attaching the Suction The suction line is the tubing from the sampling point to the
Line pump tube inlet. The sampler uses a 3/8-inch ID suction line of
lengths from 3 to 99 feet. Teledyne ISCO offers vinyl or
F E P -l i n ed s u c t i on li n e s . T h e F E P -l i n ed t u b i n g h a s a
polyethylene jacket to protect it from kinks and abrasions.
The vinyl suction line contains a very low parts-per-million level
of phenols. If phenol content affects your sample analysis, use the
FEP-lined suction line.
CAUTION
The 5800 sampling system is designed for operation with
minimal inlet obstruction. In order to prevent pump leakage, or
pump tubing breakage or separation from the coupler, ensure
that the strainer remains unobstructed at all times and that the
suction line cannot be kinked or collapse.
Teledyne ISCO ships suction line in standard lengths of 3.0 m

(10 ft) or 7.6 m (25 ft). Either length should be cut to the shortest
length feasible for the installation. When installed, the line
should run the shortest possible distance from the collection
point to the pump, preferably with a gradual upward slope.
Excess suction line should be cut, not coiled. Coiled suction line
will hol d liqui d between sample events which could
cross-contaminate samples or freeze in cold climates. If the
standard lengths are too short, or if you are cutting compatible
3
/8-inch ID suction line from a bulk spool, you can use lengths
30 m (99 ft) or less.
When accurate, repeatable sample volumes are important, use
care to cut the suction line to the correct increments:
• When the sampler is using metric units of measure, cut
the line in 0.1 m increments. For instance, cut 4.2 m, not
4.26 m.
• When using English units of measure, cut the line in
increments of 1 foot.
Record this cut length. Later, you will enter this value in the
SUCTION LINE configuration option (Section 3.3.4).
2.6.1 Vinyl Suction Line Attach the vinyl suction line to the pump tube with the tubing
coupler. First, screw the threaded end into the suction line until
the flat surface is flush against the suction line (Figure 2-9).
Failure to do this will allow air to leak into the sample and
adversely effect the sample volume accuracy. Then, push the
other end of the coupler into the end of the pump tube until the
other flat surface is flush against the tubing.

1.
2.
Figure 2-9 Attaching the suction line to the pump tubing
Once the coupler is attached to the pump tube, removal is

difficult, and may require cutting the tube.
2.6.2 FEP-lined Suction Line Inserting a tube coupler into FEP-lined suction line will damage
the thin lining. Instead, refer to Figure 2-10 and the instructions
below to attach FEP-lined suction line to the pump tube:
1. Slide a suitable clamp over the pump tube inlet.
2. Push about 20 mm of the FEP-lined suction line into the
end of the pump tube.
3. Slide the clamp over the union and tighten. Do not
overtighten the clamp; this might cause the tubing to
collapse or restrict the flow.

2.7 Attaching a Strainer To select the right strainer for your application, see Table 2-2 and
Figure 2-11.
To attach the strainer to the suction line, carefully screw the
strainer’s threaded connector into the suction line. If attaching
the strainer to an FEP-lined suction line, heat the end of the
suction line before threading the strainer into the line. Warming
FEP-lined tubing will make it more pliable to avoid damage.

2.7.1 Alternative to Strainers When sampling from h ig h v elocity streams with heavy
suspended solids, some field investigations suggest that more
representative samples are obtained without the strainer.
Consider attaching a short piece of thin walled aluminum tubing
to the end of the suction line; anchor the tubing so that the inlet
opens upstream. The aluminum tubing’s thin wall will not
disturb the flow stream, and most sample analyses disregard
aluminum ions. Under most conditions, a pre-sample line rinse
removes any debris over the tubing entrance.
2.7.2 Maximum Table 2-2 lists maximum unanchored lengths for each type of
Unanchored Length suction line. During a pre- or post-sample purge or line rinse, the
suction line is filled with air which might cause the suction line
and strainer to float. If the length of the suction line and strainer
exceeds the listed value, securely anchor the strainer.
Note
Even if the maximum length is not exceeded, it is a good idea
to anchor the suction line and strainer when sampling from
high velocity or turbulent flow streams.
2.8 Routing the Suction Route the suction line so that it has a continuous slope from the
Line and Strainer liquid source to the sampler. This helps to drain the line during
pre- and post-sample line purges and rinses. If a suction line
exposed to freezing climates does not fully drain, there is a risk of
liquid in the suction line becoming frozen. Frozen liquid will
cause the sample collection to fail. A warm sampling source (+1°
to +25 °C) can usually prevent this, provided there are no traps or
low spots in the suction line. Some extreme situations may
require more protective measures, such as insulating the suction
line, applying heat tape, or adding a pump heater.
For representative samples, place the strainer in the main
current of the flow stream, not in an eddy or at the edge of flow.
Placing a strainer at the bottom may produce samples with
excess heavy solids and no floating materials, while placing it at
the top may produce the opposite conditions.
CAUTION
As with all such pumps, it relies upon liquid to cool working
components. If the sampler is programmed to pump in the
absence of liquid in excess of 5 minutes, excessive heat
buildup may damage the paddles, rollers, and housing. Ensure
that the liquid inlet is completely immersed. If the suction line
inlet is not completely submersed the sample will not be
accurate.

2.9 Connecting the You can connect the sampler to an external instrument (Figure
Sampler to External 2-12) for a variety of reasons. Typical reasons include:
Devices • Receiving flow pulses from a flow meter device for
variable time or variable volume sample collection.
• Receiving an enable pin signal to enable sampler
operation once site conditions warrant sample collection.
• Sending a three-second event mark at the beginning of
every sample collection event.
• Receiving a linear 4-20 mA analog representation of the
flow rate for variable time or variable volume sample
collection.
• Sending alarm signals when user-specified sampler
events occur.
Figure 2-12 External device connection at rear of sampler
These types of connections can be categorized as Standard

Teledyne ISCO device connections or other device connections.
Each type is discussed in sections 2.9.1 and 2.9.2, respectively.
This rear-panel connection may also be used for communicating
with a computer for the purpose of collecting reports. Please refer
to section 4.3.2 for more information about this feature.
2.9.1 Standard Teledyne You can connect the sampler to an ISCO 4100 Series flow logger or
ISCO Instrument a 4200 Series flow meter. With these ISCO instruments you can:
Connections • Receive flow pulses for variable time or variable volume
sample collection.
• Receive an enable pin signal to enable sampler
operation once site conditions warrant sample collection.
• Send a three-second event mark at the beginning of
every sample collection event.
• Power the flow measurement device.

To connect either of these instruments, use the optional 7.6 m

(25 ft) connect cable, 69-5804-043 (Figure 2-13).

sampler to a non-Teledyne ISCO device to receive flow pacing
and enable pin signals, to send sample event marks and alarm
signals, or to supply 12 VDC power.
All of these types of connections use the optional unterminated
connect cable, P/N 68-5800-020 (Figure 2-14). This 3 m (10 ft)
cable is u nterminated at the devic e en d to allow w ir ed
connections to compatible circuits. Refer to Table 2-3 for wire
identification and connection details.

CAUTION
Risk of equipment damage. Only experienced electronic
technicians should make the connections to an external device
using cable 68-5800-020.
To connect the external device, refer to Table 2-3 and select the
appropriate wires. Splice the wires by soldering or using crimped
connectors. Trim back the tinned ends of any unused wires and
provide appropriate electrical insulation. To complete the
connection, be sure to protect it from the environment. Running
the cables through conduit and making the connections inside a
watertight electrical box generally provides adequate protection.
Note
The Teledyne ISCO Quick Disconnect (Q.D.) box, P/N
60-2004-228, can provide a convenient, watertight connection to
wiring from a non-Teledyne ISCO device. The sealed IP68
(NEMA 4x) enclosure contains seven terminal blocks and is
equipped with a mounting plate. The hazardous location rating
of Q.D. box does not apply when used with an ISCO sampler.

also allows you to configure suction line rinses and sample
retries.
SELECT OPTION: (<-->) 1. Select the LIQUID DETECTOR option and press Enter.
LIQUID DETECTOR
USE LIQUID DETECTOR? 2. Select YES (the factory default) for improved sample
YES NO volume accuracy, and to enable Rinse Cycles and Sampling
Retries. Select NO to turn off all of these features and
return to the SELECT OPTION <- -> screen.
__ RINSE CYCLES 3. Press a Number button to specify how many rinse cycles
(0-3) should be performed before collecting a sample.
RETRY UP TO ___ TIMES 4. If the sampler fails to detect liquid, it can try again to
WHEN SAMPLING (0-3) collect the sample. Press a Number button to specify how
many retries the sampler should attempt.
For most sampling applications you should use Liquid Detection.

Selecting NO may adversely affect sample volume repeatability
and will turn off Rinse Cycles and Sampling Retries.
You can use Rinse Cycles to condition the suction line and
strainer before collecting a sample. Rinse Cycles may also
improve sample volume repeatability by ensuring the suction
line is wetted before each sample. One rinse cycle draws liquid
through the suction line until it reaches the Liquid Detector.
Then, the pump reverses direction and to clear the suction line.
Note that Rinse Cycles add to the Pump Counts (section 3.3.9)
and requires more frequent pump tube changes.

3.3.5 Flow Mode Sampling Select this option to indicate whether or not the sampler should
take a sample when the Run Program button is pressed. The
Sample At Start option is only applicable to Flow Paced
programs.
SELECT OPTION: (<-->) 1. Select the FLOW MODE SAMPLING option and press
FLOW MODE SAMPLING Enter.
SAMPLE AT START? 2. Select YES to take the first sample when the start time is
YES NO reached. Select NO to wait until the flow count triggers the
first sample.
If you select YES, when you run the program the sampler takes
the first sample immediately (if NO DELAY TO START, see section
3.5.20) and starts counting flow pulses for the next interval.
3.3.6 Enable Pin Select this option to specify which actions the sampler controller
should take when the Enable Pin state changes. The Enable Pin
feature allows an external device (section 2.8) to control the
running programs.
SELECT OPTION: (<-->) 1. Select the ENABLE PIN option and press Enter.
ENABLE PIN
REPEATABLE ENABLE? 2. Select YES for unlimited enable/disables. Select NO to

YES NO allow only one enable, after which the sampler will remain
enabled until the end of the program sequence.
SAMPLE AT ENABLE? 3. If your application requires a sample when the sampler
YES NO becomes enabled, select YES. Otherwise, select NO and the
sampler will take the first sample at the programmed
interval.
RESET SAMPLE 4. Select YES to reset the time or flow pacing interval to zero
INTERVAL? YES NO at the moment the sampler becomes enabled. Select NO
and the sampler will continue with the current count.
The sampler controller is disabled when pin 6 of the External

Device connector is held at ground potential. Teledyne ISCO
devices do this by shorting pins 6 (Enable) and 2 (GND) together.
A non-Teledyne ISCO device can disable the sampler by using a
relay contact closure to short these two pins together. The
sampler is enabled when pins 6 and 2 are no longer shorted, that
is, pin 6 is open or allowed to float.
One application that illustrates the enable feature is parameter
monitoring at the head works of a treatment plant. As long as
the measured parameter (pH, for example) is within the normal
range, the monitoring instrument disables the sampler. When
the parameter exceeds the normal range, the instrument enables
the sampler, which then collects samples at intervals specified by
the program.

3.3.7 Refrigeration Select th is opt ion to set th e tar get temper atu re of the
refrigeration system. The sampler will operate the cooling or
heating systems as needed to maintain this target temperature.
SELECT OPTION: (<-->) 1. Select the REFRIGERATION option and press Enter.
REFRIGERATION
TARGET TEMPERATURE 2. Use the Number buttons to set the target temperature as
__ C (1-9) degrees Celsius. Press Enter to save the setting.
QUICK COOL FOR FIRST 3. Single Bottle Only — Select YES to enable the Quick
DAY? YES NO Cool mode, NO to disable it.
Quick Cool lowers the target temperature for the first 24
hours. This feature can be useful for drawing down the
temperature quickly when collecting warm liquids or
larger sample volumes. It is optimized to quickly cool
hourly 250 ml, 22 °C samples.
Smaller or cooler samples may be susceptible to freezing if
the Quick Cool option is turned on.
3.3.8 Output Pins Select this option to configure the four alarm outputs. An alarm
output is based one of the following events:
• PROGRAM STARTED – This event occurs when the
Start Time is met. For programs using NO DELAY TO
START, this will occur immediately when you press the
Run button. The alarm output signal lasts three
seconds.
• PROGRAM COMPLETED – This event occurs when a
running sampling program has finished. This alarm
output stays on as long as the run time display reads
PROGRAM COMPLETED.
• PUMP ERROR– This event occurs when the sampler has
detected a pump failure or an absence of liquid. If this is
a true pump failure (pump is jammed), manual
intervention is required before the sampling program
can resume. For all other pump errors, the alarm output
stays on until the pump is successfully operated or
liquid is again present.
• DISTRIBUTOR JAMMED – This event occurs when the
sampler has detected a distributor failure. This
condition must be corrected before the sampling
program can resume. This alarm output stays on until
the distributor is successfully operated.
• 3-WAY VALVE CONTROL – This event occurs whenever a
sample is initiated and controls the optional Three-way
Valve. For more information about the optional
Three-way valve option contact your Teledyne ISCO
dealer or the Teledyne ISCO factory.
• TAKING SAMPLE – This event occurs each time a sample
is taken. The alarm output stays on until the sample
event is completed.

• PUMPING FORWARD – This event occurs for the

duration of the forward pumping step of a sampling
event (between pre- and post-purge).
• PUMPING REVERSE - This event occurs for the
duration of the reverse pumping steps of a sampling
event (pre- and post-purge). Is also active for manual
reverse pumping.
• POWERED UP – This event occurs when power is
supplied to the sampler.
• BOTTLE FULL – This event occurs if a composite
program using a bottle larger than 10,500 ml purges
liquid from the sample bottle. Sample volumes larger
than 60 ml and a post-sample purge larger than 100
counts are required for this alarm. The alarm will not
occur until after the first five samples have been taken.
This allows the sampler to determine normal operating
conditions. The alarm remains on until a key is pressed
to exit this screen.
Note: A bottle full condition will not halt a running
program unless a BOTTLE FULL output is selected.
• DELAY BEFORE SAMPLE – This event occurs at the
start of a sample event prior to movement of the
distributor arm. When you select this output, you will be
prompted to enter a delay time between 1 and 99
seconds.
To configure the alarm output pins:

SELECT OPTION: (<-->) 1. Select the OUTPUT PINS option and press Enter.
OUTPUT PINS
SET OUTPUT _: (<-->) 2. Press the Previous or Next arrows to select an event type
PROGRAM COMPLETED for the displayed output channel.
3. Press the Enter button to select the event type and
advance to the next output channel.
Repeat until all four alarm outputs are programmed.
Refer to Section 2.8 for details on connecting the alarm output
pins to external devices.
3.3.9 Tubing Life Select this option to view and reset the pump counts. The Tubing
Life feature serves as a reminder so you can replace the pump
tube at regular intervals before its wall cracks and ruptures.
Several problems may arise from a weak or ruptured pump tube:
• The sampler will not pump the liquid
• Pump jams
• Inaccurate sample volumes
• Faulty liquid detection

To set the Tubing Life reminder:

SELECT OPTION: (<-->) 1. Select the TUBING LIFE option and press Enter.
TUBING LIFE
___ PUMP COUNTS, 2. The sampler displays the current pump count. The display
WARNING AT 1000000 automatically advances in four seconds or press Enter to
continue.
RESET PUMP COUNTER? 3. If you have replaced the pump tube, use the Next and
YES NO Previous arrows to select YES, then press Enter.
Otherwise, select NO.
__00000 PUMP COUNTS 4. Enter an interval using the Number buttons and press
TO WARNING Enter. (The default value is “5.”)
The sampler counts pump revolutions in both the forward and

reverse cycles with a resettable counter. When the counter
reaches the default of 1,000,000 counts, the sampler displays an
alert message, “WARNING! CHANGE PUMP TUBE.” After
replacing the pump tube (see section 5.1.2), reset the count to
zero so the sampler can begin tallying the pump counts for the
new tube.
Note
Opening the pump housing and replacing the pump tube will
not reset the counter.
The default count of 1,000,000 represents the average interval at

which the pump tube should be inspected. Because liquid
properties and site conditions affect the life of the pump tube,
you can change this interval to better suit your application. If a
pump tube inspection (section 5.1.1) at 1,000,000 counts reveals
little or no wear, this value can be increased to avoid needless
replacements. Conversely, if an inspection reveals significant
wear at 1,000,000 counts, this value should be reduced to prevent
a pump tube failure. Pump tubes wear out sooner when the
sampled liquid contains a high percentage of suspended or
abrasive solids. Pump tubes typically last 1,000,000 counts when
pumping relatively clean liquids at normal temperatures.
Note
The importance of regular tubing replacement cannot be
overstated. The key is to replace the tube before failure, not
after. When a pump tube ruptures, grit and other abrasive
debris can enter the pump housing. Over time, this abrasive
material may degrade the sample collection performance.
Failure to maintain the pump tube may result in permanent
damage to the sampler. Check the condition of the pump tube
regularly and if the tube shows signs of fatigue or wear,
replace it immediately. A properly maintained sampler will
provide years of reliable service that is expected of a Teledyne
ISCO Sampler.

3.3.10 Program Options Select this option to choose a program, turn the Program Lock
feature on or off, and change the password. When this security
feature is enabled, the sampler requires a numeric password

the sampler memory, display, keypad, pump, distributor, and
various inputs and outputs.
For more information about this service-related feature, refer to
Section 5.2.
3.3.14 Exit Configuration Select this option to exit the configuration mode and return to
the Main Menu screen.
3.4 Sampling Program The sampling program controls how often sample events occur
Overview and what should take place at each event. A sample event may
happen when:
• you start a flow paced program that is programmed to
Sample at Start (Section 3.3.5).
• a time paced program reaches the First Sample time
and date,
• your programmed time interval has elapsed,
• your programmed number of flow pulses has been
reached, or
• a disabled sampler becomes enabled (Section 3.3.6).
At each event, the sampler:

1. Resets the programmed flow or time pacing interval.
2. Moves the distributor arm over the next bottle. (This step
does not occur for samplers configured with the 20 liter
composite bottle.)
3. Rinses the suction line (see Section 3.3.4).
4. Sends a three-second event mark signal that begins at
forward pumping. The sampler deposits the programmed
sample volume into the bottle.
If programmed to deposit a sample volume in more than
one bottle, the sampler:
a. Moves the distributor arm over the next bottle.
b. Deposits the programmed sample volume into the
bottle.
c. Repeats steps 4a and 4b until the programmed number
of bottles per event is reached.
5. Rinses the suction line (see Section 3.3.4).
There are four categories of sampling program instructions that

control the above actions in an event:
• Pacing instructions define what controls the sample
collection interval and its frequency.
• Distribution instructions define where the collected
liquid sample is placed.

Single-bottle samplers can only distribute the sample to

the composite bottle therefore skip the steps in this
category.
• Volume instructions define how much liquid is collected
at each interval, and the total volume to collect.
• The Start Time tells the sampler when to begin
operation.
These categories and their related programming screens are

illustrated in Figure 3-3 for time paced sampling programs and
Figure 3-4 for flow paced sampling programs. Each screen
includes a section number that you can refer to should you need a
detailed explanation of the step.

3.5 Programming Steps To begin programming from the Main Menu screen, use the Next
or Previous arrow to select PROGRAM. Press the Enter button to
display the first programming screen. Refer to Figures 3-3 or 3-4
and the following descriptions.
3.5.1 Program Selection The sampler is capable of storing up to four separate programs.
When the sampler is initially started, Program #1 will be used.
As you enter thru and complete Program #1, the ‘Program
Completed’ message will indicate that you have changed the
settings of Program #1.
If a different program is required (for example Program #2), you
must:
1. Access Program #2 by going into
CONFIGURE-PROGRAMMING options and use the arrow keys
to get #2 highlighted.
2. Press Enter to load Program #2. Once this step is
completed, Program #2 will be available to modify thru the
Program menus.
3. Once you have completed programming for Program #2 the
‘Program Completed’ message gives you the indication that
Program #2 has been saved.
To access Program #1 again, or to verify what program is
currently loaded, you need to go to CONFIGURE-PROGRAMMING
options and the flashing program number will indicate which
program is currently loaded.
3.5.2 Pacing There are two pacing methods for sampling programs:
• Time paced sampling programs use the sampler’s
internal clock to collect samples at a constant time
interval. When you program the sampler for time
pacing, the sampler will prompt you to enter the time
between sample events in hours and minutes.
• Flow paced sampling programs require an electronic
signal from a flow measurement device. This electronic
signal is typically a pulse that indicates some
user-programmed volume interval has passed through
the flow channel. Because each pulse represents a
volume interval, flow pacing rates are proportional to
the volume of water flowing through the channel. This is
sometimes called “Constant Volume Variable Time
(CVVT) sampling.” When you program the sampler for
flow pacing, the sampler will prompt you to enter the
number of pulses to count before collecting a sample.
Note
All Teledyne ISCO flow meters provide a compatible flow
pulse. Non-Teledyne ISCO flow measurement devices may be
used to paced the sampler. Refer to section 2.8, Connecting
the Sampler to External Devices, for more details.

Use the Next or Previous arrows to select the time or flow option,
then press the Enter button.
3.5.3 Sample Every Time Paced Only. Use the Number buttons to enter the time
__ Hours, __ Minutes interval in hours and minutes. The sampler collects a sample
each time this interval elapses while the program is running.
3.5.4 Sample Every Flow Paced Only. Use the Number buttons to enter the flow
__ Pulses interval as a number of pulses. While the program is running the
sampler counts the flow pulses until this number is reached. At
this time the sampler collects a sample and resets the interval to
begin counting again.
The volume that each flow pulse represents is determined by the
flow measurement device. With some instruments this volume is
user-defined; others use a fixed volume. Refer to the instruction
manual of the flow measurement device.
For example, consider a Teledyne ISCO 4250 Flow Meter
programmed to send a flow pulse every 100 gallons. If you are
required to collect a sample every 10,000 gallons, you would
enter 100 flow pulses.
10000 gallons  100 gallons per pulse = 100 pulses
If the flow measurement device sends flow rate data via a

4-20 mA current loop instead of flow pulses, the sampler converts
this analog current to flow pulses representative of a volume.
The sampler assumes that the current is linear from 4 mA at
zero flow to 20 mA at the full-scale flow rate. This
factory-calibrated conversion produces one pulse every 12
seconds (5 flow pulses per minute) at 20 mA and scales the pulse
intervals until there are no pulses at 4 mA. See Table 3-2 for flow
pulse intervals at various currents.

To calculate the number of flow pulses to enter in this sampler

programming screen, follow the steps below.
1. Determine the full scale flow rate (Qmax) that is
represented by the flow measurement device at 20 mA.
2. Divide Qmax by a time factor (Ftime) to find the volume
represented by a single flow pulse. The time factor you
choose is the time unit on which the flow rate is based:
Time Unit Ftime Factor

3
seconds (cfs, m /s, etc.) 0.08333
minutes (gpm, l/m, etc.) 5
3
hours (gph, m h, etc.) 300
days (mgd, m3d, etc.) 7200
3. Divide the sample interval (Isamp) by the result of step 2.

The final value is the number of pulses you enter in this
screen.
T h e s t e ps c a n b e s u m m a r i z ed i n t h e e q u a t i o n b e l ow .
Isamp (Qmax  Ftime = Number of pulses
Note
The equation requires similar units for Qmax and Isamp. That is,
the volume and flow rate units must use the same basic unit
(cubic feet and cubic feet per second, gallons and gallons per
minute, etc.). If they are dissimilar, convert the units before
applying them to the equation.

Example 1. Consider a flow meter programmed to output 20 mA

at 1,000 liters per minute, the peak flow rate of the channel. If
you are required to collect a sample every 10,000 liters, you
would enter 50 flow pulses according the equation.
10000 liters  (1000 liters per minute  5) = 50 pulses

at 20 cubic feet per second. If you are required to collect a sample
every 2400 cubic feet, you would enter 10 flow pulses according
the equation.
2400 cubic feet  (20 cubic feet per second  0.08333) = 10 pulses

at 8 mgd (million gallons per day) and you are required to collect
a sample every 10,000 gallons. Because the base units are
dissimilar, you first must convert either the flow rate to gallons
per day or your sample interval to millions of gallons. (The
example below shows the flow rate converted to gallons per day.)
After completing the equation you would enter 9 flow pulses.
10000 gallons  (8000000 gallons per day  7200 = 9 pulses
3.5.5 __ Bottles per Sample Multiple Bottles Only. The sampler places a sample volume in
Event one bottle or sets of bottles at each sample event. Use this screen

intervals, use this screen to specify the first switch time. All
other bottle or bottle set switches will be relative to this time.
Press the Number buttons to enter the time of day in 24-hour
format.
3.5.9 __Samples per Bottle Multiple Bottles Only. The sampler places a sample volume from
one or more sample events in a bottle. Use this screen to enter
the number of sample volumes to place in a bottle. The effect of
this number is illustrated below.

3.5.10 Run Continuously? Multiple Bottles Only. Sample programs can run indefinitely by
selecting YES at the RUN CONTINUOUSLY? screen. Continuous
sampling resets the distribution when the distribution sequence
is complete. That is, when the last bottle/set is reached, the next
bottle/set is the first bottle/set.
In this mode, the sampler assumes that any filled bottles are
replaced and ready to receive samples while the program is
running, thus the pacing interval is never interrupted.

If you select NO, the sampler will run until it completes the
distribution sequence, at which time it stops the program and
reports PROGRAM DONE. The sampler will wait in this state
until the bottles have been emptied and the program is restarted.
If your sampler is configured for composite sampling, refer to
section 3.5.17 for instructions on continuous sampling.
3.5.11 Enter Sample Volume At this screen you have the option to enter a sample volume
Use Defined Sample (factory default is 200 ml) or use a manually defined sample
volume based on pump counts.
If you choose ENTER SAMPLE VOLUME, the programming
displays will step through a series of screens that let you enter
the sample volume. When running a program, the sampler will
use these settings and vary the sample collection cycle to deliver
the entered sample volume at any suction head height.
To view or change the entered sample volume, use the Next or
Previous arrow to select ENTER SAMPLE VOLUME. Then, press
the Enter button to advance to the next screen (section 3.5.13).
If you choose USE DEFINED SAMPLE, the sample collection cycle
is always a fixed number of pump counts. This option can be
beneficial when sampling conditions make it difficult to detect
liquids and collect accurate sample volumes. To USE DEFINED
SAMPLE, press the Next or Previous arrow to select this option.
Then, press the Enter button.
Note
When using defined samples, be sure to DEFINE SAMPLE
using the Calibrate button. See the example “Defining the
Sample Volume” on page 3-25.
Note
Selecting USE DEFINED SAMPLE will disable bottle overflow
detection.
3.5.12 Volumes Dependent Time Paced Only. The sampler can vary the sample volume
on Flow? according to an input from an external flow rate measurement
device, or use a fixed volume at every time interval. To use
variable sample volumes, sometimes called Constant Time
Variable Volume (CTVV) sampling, select YES. To use fixed
sample volumes, select NO.
3.5.13 Sample Volume __ ml This screen displays the defined sample volume. Use the Number
buttons to enter the sample volume. Press the Enter button to
accept the displayed value.

input is provided by the external flow measurement device (see
section 2.8).

3.5.15 10 ml for Every Time Paced Only. If you selected FLOW PULSES to determine
__ Pulses the sample volume (section 3.5.14), use the Number buttons to
enter the number of pulses required to deliver 10 ml of liquid.
This value establishes the ratio of flow rate to the sample volume
at each event.
For example, consider a time-paced sampler programmed to
collect a sample every hour and you entered “10 ml for every 5
pulses.” If the sampler records 100 pulses over the hour, it will
collect a 200 ml sample (100 pulses  5 pulses  10 ml = 200 ml).
3.5.16 Sample Volume at Time Paced Only. If you selected ANALOG INPUT to determine
20 mA: __ ml the sample volume (Section 3.5.14), use the Number buttons to
enter the sample volume to be collected at the maximum flow
rate, 20 mA. The sampler will linearly scale sample volumes at
flow rates less than maximum.
3.5.17 __ Composite Samples Single Bottle Only. Use the Number buttons to type the number
of composite samples to take. Press Enter to accept the value.
Note
If you enter the number zero for sample, it will cause the
sampler to run continuously.
The sampler calculates the maximum possible number of

samples by dividing the configured bottle size (Section 3.3.2) by
the size of each sample volume (Section 3.5.13).
3.5.18 Suction Head This screen is displayed only if the liquid detector is turned off
(Section 3.3.4). Use the Number buttons to type the suction head
height. Press the Enter button to accept the value.
Suction head height is the vertical distance from the liquid
surface to the pump inlet. To measure the suction head height,
refer to Figure 3-5.
For most applications, Teledyne ISCO recommends that you turn
on the liquid detector (Section 3. 3.4). The sampler will
automatically calculate the suction head height, typically
resulting in more accurate and repeatable sample volumes.

Figure 3-5 Suction Head Height
3.5.19 Pause & Resume The Pause & Resume option allows you to pause the operation of
the sampler and then resume operation at a later time and/or
date. This option has to be enabled before the sampler is
programmed. It typically runs on continuous mode.
To enable the Pause & Resume option on the sampler:
1. Turn on the sampler.
2. At the Home screen press 5 8 0 0 9.
3. An option screen will appear. Press 1 7 6 0 and Enter.
A screen will appear that reads “Option 1760 Enabled”.
Once the Home screen reappears, you can begin programming as
usual. The Pause & Resume programming screen will appear
after the Sample Volume programming is complete.
The first time you get to the Pause & Resume screen it will not
have any information entered, so you will need to select YES to
modify the information by using the arrow button and hitting
Enter. You can enter up to nine Pause & Resume pairs.

2. Next type in the minutes (MM) and hit enter.
3. Use the arrow keys to select the day, then hit enter.
4. You will follow these same steps on the Resume side.
Note
Pause & Resume pairs cannot span more than a week. Also, if
the program stops due to a full bottle, you must restart the
program manually.
Once you have finished entering in all of the pairs you want
scheduled, press the down arrow key to get to the CLEAR DONE
options. Selecting CLEAR will erase all entries and DONE will
accept the entries.
After this screen you are asked if you want a sample taken at
resume. Select YES or NO. Once this is complete, you will
program the sampler as usual.
To disable the Pause & Resume option return to the Home screen
and repeat steps 1 through 3.
3.5.20 No Delay to Start At this screen you have the option to start the sampling program
Set Start Time immediately when you press the green Run Program button, or
delay the sampling program until user-defined start time is met.
To program the sampler to start immediately, use the Next and
Previous arrow to select the NO DELAY TO START option and
press the Enter button.
To set a start time and date, use the Next and Previous arrows to
select the SET START TIME option. Then, press the Enter button
to advance to the next screen (Section 3.5.23).

Note
If you enter a “First Sample At” or Start Flow Count At” month
less than the current month, the sampler interprets the start
time as next year’s date.
3.5.21 Auto Re-Run Use this option when you want to sample on specific days of the
week, like Monday, Wednesday, Friday. The program will stop
once all of the selected samples you programmed the sampler to
take are complete. The program will automatically start again on
the next available day.
If a program reaches its end without using all of the bottles,
AUTO RE-RUN causes the sampler to begin with the next
available bottle in the sequence, the next time a program is run.
Use this setting with caution, as the bottles must be emptied
before the next program begins filling them with more liquid.
This option works well for flow pacing when a max runtime is
used.
3.5.22 First Sample At: Time Paced Only. Use the Number buttons to set the start time
hours. Press the Enter button to accept the value and advance to
the minutes. Repeat to complete the minutes, date, and month.

hours. Press the Enter button to accept the value and advance to
the minutes. After setting the start time minutes, press Enter to
accept the value and advance to the next screen.
3.5.24 Select Days: Use the arrow buttons to select the desired days of the week,
pressing Enter to activate or deactivate selections. When
selections are completed, select DONE, then press Enter to
advance to the next screen.
3.5.25 First Valid Day Use the number keys to set the program starting day and month,
pressing Enter to accept the values.
3.5.26 Maximum Run Time Flow Paced Only, Not Run Continuously. U s e t h e N u m b e r
__ Hours buttons to set the maximum run time. The sampler will stop the
running sampling program when this time has elapsed.
This feature is useful for applications that require the collection
of a total sample volume proportional to the flow volume over a
specific duration. An example of this would be a flow-weighted
composite sample representative of the total daily flow volume
(24 hours). If your application does not limit the sample
collection to a specific duration, enter zero.

4.4 Grab Samples Grab samples let you take a single sample on demand and
collecting it in an external container. You can collect a grab
sample while the sampler is running a program, paused, or at
the Main Menu screen.
To collect a grab sample:
1. Press the GRAB SAMPLE button.
2. The sampler asks how much liquid to collect. To collect a
sample volume defined by pump counts, select USE
DEFINED SAMPLE. To collect a different volume, select the
ENTER SAMPLE VOLUME, then use the Number buttons
to enter the desired grab sample volume.
Note
If you selected the USE DEFINED SAMPLE option, the
sampler will collect the sample volume according to the
DEFINED SAMPLE calibration setting. For more information
on this feature see the example “Defining the Sample Volume”
on page 3-23.

Section 4 Operation
5. Return the pump tube to the bulkhead fitting.
Note
If a grab sample is taken while a program is running, it is not
counted as part of the number of samples.
4.5 Calibrate Sample The sampler can deliver sample volumes repeatable to ±5 ml or
Volumes ±5% of the average volume in a set. For accurate sample
volumes, the sampler uses the suction line length (Section 3.3.4)
to generate pump tables. The pump tables along with the liquid
detector are used to determine the suction head height and
measure the liquid volume. By calculating the suction head, the
delivered volumes are not affected by varying liquid levels.
Note
Incorrect suction line values, disabling the liquid detector, and
worn pump tubes may adversely affect the sample volume
accuracy.
Calibrating the sampler can enhance sample volume accuracy. To

calibrate sample volumes, follow the steps below. These steps
assume that the sampler has been correctly installed (Section 2)
and the suction line has been cut and its length entered in the
sampler configuration (Section 3.3.4). These steps also require a
graduated cylinder to measure the delivered sample volume.
Note
Teledyne ISCO offers a 1000 ml graduated cylinder. Order part
number 299-0020-00.
To calibrate the sample volume:

1. At the Main Menu, press the Calibrate button.
CALIBRATE VOLUME 2. Select the CALIBRATE VOLUME option and press Enter.
DEFINE SAMPLE
CALIBRATE VOLUME: 3. Pull the lower pump tube from the bulkhead fitting. Hold
PRESS  WHEN READY! the end of the tube over the graduated cylinder. Press the
Enter button when you are ready.
TAKING ___ ml 4. Hold the graduated cylinder while the sampler collects the
CALIBRATE SAMPLE sample.
VOLUME DELIVERED: 5. Measure the sample volume collected in the graduated

___ ml cylinder and enter it in the VOLUME DELIVERED screen.
___! ARE YOU 6. If there is a large difference between the expected volume
SURE? YES NO and your entered volume, the sampler asks you to confirm
the entered volume. If the volume you entered is correct,
select YES. Otherwise, select NO and re-enter the
measured sample volume.
7. Return the pump tube to the bulkhead fitting.

Section 4 Operation
For small volumes, repeat the calibration to ensure that the

calibration is averaged and not unduly influenced by normal
random variations.
An alternative method using manually defined sample volumes
may be helpful for difficult applications. See Section 3.5.10.

• Faulty liquid detection
• Inaccurate sample volumes
• The sampler will not pump any liquid
• Pump jams.
To inspect the pump:
1. Press the On/Off button to place the sampler controller in
the Standby state. This ensures that the sampler will not
attempt to operate the pump.

WARNING
from operating when the pump housing band is open. DO
NOT tamper with the pump housing and band. The pump is
extremely powerful. The pump can injure you severely if the
sampler activates the pump while you are working on it.
Place the sampler controller in the Standby state before
opening the pump housing.
2. Refer to Figure 5-1. Release the latch (G) securing the

metal pump housing band (J).
3. Swing the pump housing band away from the pump
housing.
4. Inspect the following:
a. Pump tube – Look for excessive wear caused by the

5.1.2 Pump Tube The correct sampler pump tubing is easily recognized by the blue
Replacement alignment collars. Table 5-1 lists part numbers for replacement
pump tubes. Pump tubing from non-Teledyne ISCO vendors and
tubes designed for other types of samplers should not be used.
Incorrect pump tubing may result in poor pump performance or
even cause parts to fail prematurely. Also note that the discharge
tube is not the same as the pump tube.
Refer to Figure 5-1 and the following steps to replace the pump
tube.
1. Unplug the sampler to ensure that it will not attempt to
operate the pump.
WARNING
from operating when the pump housing band is open. DO

12. Reconnect the suction line.
Pump Tube Life . Several factors shorten the pump tube life.
Among them are:
• Incorrect installation.
• Abrasive materials suspended in sample liquid.
• Frequent line rinses.
• Long purge cycles, such as those used with long suction
lines.
To extend the life of the pump tubes:
• Always use Teledyne ISCO pump tubes.
• Install the tube properly, aligning the blue collars
correctly in the notches.
• Follow the natural curve of the tube when wrapping the
tube around the pump rollers.
• Minimize the line rinses and sampling retries in the
sampling programs.
• Use the shortest possible suction line.

5.3 Temperature Should there be a need to verify the temperature readings

Verification displayed by the control panel, it is important to read the
temperature as close as possible to the sensor inside the
refrigerator.
To verify the temperature without a 24-bottle rack or locating
base, place the refrigerator thermometer in the back-right corner
of the refrigerator. The thermometer should sit in front of the
return air opening to the refrigeration system, but not obstruct
the air flow.
To verify the temperature with the 24-bottle rack, place the
refrigerator thermometer on the rack near bottles 20 and 21
(Figure 5-4). For samplers with the bottle locating base, place the
refrigerator thermometer between bottles three and four
(Figure 5-5).
The refrigerator thermometer can be read after 30 minutes and
compared with the displayed refrigerator temperature (section
5.2.8).

Teledyne ISCO
The safety of the personnel who use the sampler is a critical

consideration. The following procedures, applicable to working in
and around manholes and sewers, are those used by Black &
Veatch, a respected consulting firm, and are published here by
their permission.
Field personnel must keep safety uppermost in their minds at all
times. When working above ground, rules of common sense and
safety prevail. However, when entering manholes, strict safety
procedures must be observed. Failure to do so could jeopardize
not only your own life, but also the lives of other crew members.
WARNING
The sampler has not been approved for use in hazardous
locations as defined by the National Electrical Code.
CAUTION
Before you install any sampler, you must take the proper safety
precautions. The following discussion of safety procedures
offers only general guidelines. Each situation in which you
install a sampler varies. You must take into account the
individual circumstances of each installation.
Additional safety considerations, other than those discussed

here, may be required. Check applicable guidelines, codes, and
regulations of federal, state, city, and county agencies.
B.1 Hazards There are many hazards connected with entering manholes.
Some of the most common hazards are:
• Adverse Atmosphere–The manhole may contain
flammable or poisonous gases or the atmosphere may be
deficient in oxygen. Forced ventilation may be necessary.
• Deteriorated Rungs –Manhole steps may be corroded
and not strong enough to support a man. It may be
difficult to inspect the rungs because of poor lighting.
• Traffic–Whenever manholes are located in the traveled
way, barricades and warning devices are essential to
direct traffic away from an open manhole.
• Falling Objects–Items placed near the manhole opening
may fall and injure a worker in the manhole. All loose
items should be kept away from the manhole opening.
EAR99 Technology Subject to Restrictions Contained on the Cover Page B-1

This applies to hand tools as well as stones, gravel and

other objects.
• Sharp Edges –Sharp edges of items in or near a manhole
may cause cuts or bruises.
• Lifting Injuries–Unless proper tools are used to remove
manhole covers, back injuries or injuries to hands or feet
may result.
B.2 Planning Advance planning should include arrangements for test

equipment, tools, ventilating equipment, protective clothing,
traffic warning devices, ladders, safety harness, and adequate
number of personnel. Hasty actions may result in serious
injuries. Time spent in the manhole should be kept to a
minimum.
B.3 Adverse Atmospheres [Refer to the table of Hazardous Gases at the end of this
appendix.] Before workers enter a manhole, tests should be made
for explosive atmosphere, presence of hydrogen sulfide, and
oxygen deficiency. Combustible or toxic vapors may be heavier
than air, so the tests on the atmosphere must be run at least 3/4 of
the way down the manhole.
Whenever adverse atmosphere is encountered, forced ventilation
must be used to create safe conditions. After the ventilating
equipment has been operated for a few minutes, the atmosphere
in the manhole should be retested before anyone enters the
manhole.
When explosive conditions are encountered, the ventilating
blower should be placed upwind to prevent igniting any gas that
is emerging from the opening. When a gasoline engine blower is
used, it must be located so that exhaust fumes cannot enter the
manhole.
If testing equipment is not available, the manhole should be
assumed to contain an unsafe atmosphere and forced ventilation
must be provided. It should never be assumed that a manhole is
safe just because there is no odor or the manhole has been
entered previously.
B.4 Entering Manholes Sin ce the top of th e man hole i s usu ally flus h wit h the
surrounding surface, there may not be anything for the person
who is entering the manhole to grab on to steady himself.
Persons who are entering manholes should not be permitted to
carry anything in their hands as they enter the manhole, to
ensure that their hands will be free to hold on or grab if they slip.
A good method for entering a manhole is to sit on the surface
facing the manhole steps or ladder, with the feet in the hole and
the arms straddling the opening for support. As the body slides
forward and downward, the feet can engage a rung, and the back
can rest against the opposite side of the opening. If there is any
doubt about the soundness of the manhole steps, a portable
ladder should be used.
B-2 EAR99 Technology Subject to Restrictions Contained on the Cover Page

A person should never enter a manhole unless he is wearing

personal safety equipment, including a safety harness and a hard
hat. Two persons should be stationed at the surface continuously
while anyone is working inside a manhole, to lift him out if he is
overcome or injured. One man cannot lift an unconscious man
out of a manhole.
The persons stationed at the surface should also function as
guards to keep people and vehicles away from the manhole
opening. To avoid a serious injury, a person should not be lifted
out of manhole by his arm unless it is a dire emergency.
When more than one person must enter a manhole, the first
person should reach the bottom and step off the ladder before the
next one starts down. When two men climb at the same time, the
upper one can cause the lower one to fall by slipping or stepping
on his fingers.
B.4.1 Traffic Protection In addition to traffic cones, markers, warning signs, and
barricades, a vehicle or a heavy piece of equipment should be
placed between the working area and oncoming traffic. Flashing
warning signals should be used to alert drivers and pedestrians.
Orange safety vests should be worn by personnel stationed at the
surface when the manhole is located in a vehicular traffic area.
B.4.2 Removing the Covers Manhole covers should be removed with a properly designed
hook. Use of a pick ax, screwdriver, or small pry bar may result
in injury. A suitable tool can be made from 3/4-inch round or hex
stock. Two inches of one end should be bent at a right angle and
the other end should be formed into a D-handle wide enough to
accommodate both hands. Even with this tool, care must be
exercised to prevent the cover from being dropped on the toes.
The 2-inch projection should be inserted into one of the holes in
the cover, the handle grasped with both hands, and the cover
lifted by straightening the legs which have been slightly bent at
the knees.
B.4.3 Other Precautions Other precautions which should be taken when entering a
manhole are:
• Wear a hard hat.
• Wear coveralls or removable outer garment that can be
readily removed when the work is completed.
• Wear boots or nonsparking safety shoes.
• Wear rubberized or waterproof gloves.
• Wear a safety harness with a stout rope attached.
• Do not smoke.
• Avoid touching yourself above the collar until you have
cleaned your hands.

B.4.4 Emergencies Every member of the crew should be instructed on procedures to

be followed in cases of an emergency. It is the duty of each crew
chief to have a list of emergency phone numbers, including the
nearest hospital and ambulance service, police precinct, fire
station, and rescue or general emergency number.
B.4.5 Field Equipment The following equipment should be available for use:
Blowers Gloves
Breathing apparatus Hard Hats
Coverall Harnesses
First aid kits Manhole irons
Emergency flashers Pick axes
Flashlight Rain slickers
Mirror Ropes
Gas detectors Safety vests
Gas masks Traffic cones
Waders
B.5 Lethal Atmospheres in The following is an article written by Dr. Richard D. Pomeroy,
Sewers and published in the October 1980 issue of “Deeds & Data” of the
WPCF. Dr. Pomeroy is particularly well known for his studies,
over a period of nearly 50 years, in the field of the control of
hydrogen sulfide and other odors in sewers and treatment plants.
He had personally worked in a great many functioning sewers. In
the earlier years he did so, he admitted, with little knowledge of
the grave hazards to which he exposed himself.
“It is gratifying that the subject of hazards to people
working in sewers is receiving much more attention than
in past years, and good safety procedures are prescribed in
various publications on this subject. It is essential that
people know and use correct procedures.
“It is less important to know just what the hazardous
c om pon e n t s of s ew er at m os ph e r es a r e, a s s af et y
precautions should in general be broadly applicable, but
there should be a reasonable understanding of this subject.
It is disturbing to see statements in print that do not
reflect true conditions.
“One of the most common errors is the assumption that
people have died from a lack of oxygen. The human body is
able to function very well with substantially reduced
oxygen concentrations. No one worries about going to
Santa Fe, New Mexico, (elev. 2,100 meters), where the
partial pressure of oxygen is equal to 16.2% (a normal
atmosphere is about 21%) oxygen. “When first going there,
a person may experience a little ‘shortness of breath’
following exercise.
“People in good health are not afraid to drive over the high
passes in the Rocky Mountains. At Loveland Pass, oxygen
pressure is 13.2% of a normal atmosphere. At the top of Mt.

Whitney, oxygen is equal to 12.2%. Many hikers go there,

and to higher peaks as well. After adequate acclimation,
they may climb to the top of Mt. Everest, where oxygen is
equal to only 6.7%.
“The lowest oxygen concentrations that I have observed in
a sewer atmosphere was 13 percent. It was in a sealed
chamber, near sea level, upstream from an inverted siphon
on a metropolitan trunk. A man would be foolish to enter
the chamber. Without ventilation, he might die, but not
from lack of oxygen.
“It seems unlikely that anyone has ever died in a sewer
from suffocation, that is, a lack of oxygen. Deaths have
often been attributed to ‘asphyxiation.’ This is a word
which, according to the dictionary, is used to mean death
from an atmosphere that does not support life. The word
h a s s o m et i m e s b ee n m i s i n t er pr et ed a s m e a n i n g
suffocation, which is only one kind of asphyxiation.
“In nearly all cases of death in sewers, the real killer is
hydrogen sulfide. It is important that this fact be
recognized. Many cities diligently test for explosive gases,
which is very important, and they may measure the oxygen
concentration which usually is unimportant, but they
rarely measure H 2 S. Death has occurred where it is
unlikely that there was any measurable reduction in the
oxygen concentration. Waste water containing 2 mg per
liter of dissolved sulfide, and at a pH of 7.0, can produce, in
a chamber with high turbulence, a concentration of 300
PPM H 2 S, in the air. This is considered to be a lethal
concentration. Many people have died from H2S, not only
in sewers and industries, but also from swamps and from
hot springs. In one resort area, at least five persons died
from H2S poisoning before the people were ready to admit
that H2S is not a therapeutic agent. Hardly a year passes
in the US. without a sewer fatality from H 2S as well as
deaths elsewhere in the world.
“The presence of H 2 S in a sewer atmosphere is easily
determined. A bellows-and-ampoule type of tester is very
satisfactory for the purpose, even though it is only crudely
quantitative. When using a tester of this type, do not bring
the air to the ampoule by way of a tube, as this may change
the H2S concentration. Hang the ampoule in the air to be
tested, with a suction tube to the bulb or bellows.
“Lead acetate paper is very useful as a qualitative
indicator. It cannot be used to estimate the amount of
sulfide, but it will quickly turn black in an atmosphere
containing only a tenth of a lethal concentration.
“Electrodes or other similar electrical indicating devices for
H2S in air have been marketed. Some of them are known to
be unreliable, and we know of none that have proved
dependable. Do not use one unless you check it at frequent
intervals against air containing known H2S

concentrations. A supposed safety device that is unreliable

is worse than none at all.
“Remember that the nose fails, too, when it comes to
sensing dangerous concentrations of H2S.
“Various other toxic gases have been mentioned in some
publications. It is unlikely that any person has been
asphyxiated in a sewer by any of those other gases, except
possibly chlorine. The vapor of gasoline and other
hydrocarbons is sometimes present in amounts that could
cause discomfort and illness, but under that condition, the
expl osi on h a zar d w ou ld be f ar mor e ser i ous . T he
explosimeter tests, as well as the sense of smell, would
warn of the danger. Pipelines in chemical plants might
contain any number of harmful vapors. They, too, are
sensed by smell and explosimeter tests if they get into the
public sewer. Such occurrences are rare.
“The attempt to instill a sense of urgency about real
hazards is diluted if a man is told to give attention to a
long list of things that in fact are irrelevant.
“Be very careful to avoid high H 2 S concentrations,
flammable atmospheres, and hazards of physical injuries.
Remember that much H2S may be released by the stirring
up of sludge in the bottom of a structure. Obey your senses
in respect to irri tating gases, such as chl ori ne
(unconsciousness comes suddenly from breathing too
much). Be cautious about strange odors. Do not determine
percent oxygen in the air. There is a danger that the result
will influence a man's thinking about the seriousness of
the real hazards. Most important, use ample ventilation,
and do not enter a potentially hazardous structure except
in a good safety harness with two men at the top who can
lift you out.”
