BLZZRD
™
Portable Refrigerated Sampler
Section 1 Introduction
The BLZZRD is a multi-bottle, sequential/composite water
sampler featuring a transportable refrigeration system and an
advanced, multifunction controller. Its unique design provides
easy transport, quick setup, and on-site cooling — without
reliance on ice or utility power. An optional Mobility Kit with
pneumatic tires lets you wheel the sampler over rough terrain to
remote sampling sites.
The BLZZRD is ideal for storm water, TMDL, pretreatment com-
pliance, and other mobile sampling applications requiring
accurate sample preservation, versatile control, and flexible,
reliable data handling.
In the field, the sampler delivers 48 hours or more of refriger-
ation from a 12 volt deep cycle battery, which mounts conve-
niently on the optional wheeled cart. Its power-saving system
begins cooling when the first sample is drawn. the sampler can
wait patiently for days or weeks to collect event-triggered
samples, dial out an alarm/notification on its optional modem,
and then preserve the samples until they are retrieved. For even
greater versatility, the sampler runs on either 12 VDC or AC line
voltage.
The BLZZRD controller offers all of the control, expansion, and
data management options available with Teledyne ISCO’s 6700
Series Samplers, including:
• Plug-in flow measurement modules eliminate the need
for a separate flow meter.
• Direct-connect rain gauge, and SDI-12 connection to
multi-parameter sondes enable comprehensive runoff
and non-point-source monitoring.
• High-capacity data logging and Teledyne ISCO’s
Flowlink

Software provide the tools for sophisticated
analysis and reports.
