IV. Installing the Water Sampler

a. The sampler should be placed upright (it will not work if placed on its back or

side).

b. Open the sampler and remove the battery charger from the unit. Store the

charger for later use.

c. 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.

d. 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

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

f. 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.

g. 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.

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.
