®
L/S
®
24 size silicone peroxide-cured tubing. The operator only
needs to connect an external sample line using the supplied
tubing connector into Sample Line Inlet bulkhead connector
shown in Figure 2.
TUBING SELECTION
The flow rate at which a sample can be taken is dependent
on the tubing size, tubing material and the height the sample
must be raised to enter the sample reservoir. The purity of
the sample is dependent on the formulation of the tubing
material. The Composite Sampler is supplied with L/S
®
24
size tubing made of peroxide cured silicone resins. The tubing
supplied with the unit has been selected based on its purity
versus flow and lift performance. Optimum lift and flow
performance can be had by using Tygon
®
LFL or Lab tubing.
See Table 1 for other tubing materials and sizes available for
operation with the Composite Sampler.
INSTALLATION
SITE REQUIREMENTS
The E/S Composite Sampler is designed to operate in most
outdoor conditions. Ensure that the work area temperature
range is between 1°C to 50°C (39°F to 122°F) and that the
relative humidity remains between 10% and 90%.
Position the sampler in an upright position with the carrying
handle at the top of the case (as shown), preferably on a firm
level surface, adjacent to the source to be sampled. The
sampler may also be suspended or attached to a vertical
support using the D-rings at the top of the exterior housing.
POWER REQUIREMENTS:
The Masterflex
®
Composite Sampler is internally powered by a
12 V sealed gel battery. The unit may also be operated or
charged in an outdoor environment using the Automotive
Power Adapter Accessory 07571-50 Auxiliary Power Pack
07571-52 or 07571-54, or any DC source supplying 11-18 volts.
Sampler can be operated or charged indoors from a 115
(90-130) VAC or 230 (180-260) VAC 50/60 Hz incoming power
using the AC/DC Universal Power Supply/Converter (supplied).
DANGER:
NEVER apply AC voltages directly
to the EXT PWR IN receptacle on
the front panel. The application of
AC voltages can result in injury
and death of the operator and
destruction of the unit. Use only
the AC/DC Universal Power Supply/
Converter supplied with the unit to
power unit from an indoor AC
source.Fully charge the unit before
using for the first time. Damage to
the internal battery can result if the
battery is fully discharged and
operation of the unit is attempted.
