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 hose and connect it to the sampler using the quick-
disconnect fitting on the side of the enclosure. Place the protective cap over
the protective quick-disconnect plug and save for future use.
d. To secure the sample bottle:
1. Screw the bottle cap/float switch onto the sample bottle
2. Place the bottle 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
e. 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.
V.
Installing the Pickup Hose
Remove the pickup hose from the enclosure and connect it to the sampler using the
quick-disconnect fittings. Place the protective cap over the protective plug and save for
future use. When storing the hose inside the enclosure, replace the protective cap and
plug to keep the fittings clean of dirt and contamination. The pickup hose should be
installed in a wastewater discharge channel or stream. The pickup strainer should be
submerged under water and should be situated to avoid contact with the channel
bottom.
