Portable Refrigerated Sampler
Section 9 Maintenance

CAUTION
Prolonged exposure to noise while the pump is operating could
result in hearing loss. Tests indicate that the pump produces
sound levels in excess of 85db at one meter. If you are operat-
ing the pump for long durations, always wear hearing protec-
tion.
Distributor Test
–
The distributor test is provided for factory
personnel to verify the distributor’s position as it rotates through
the 24 positions. The distributor arm flexes slightly when it con-
tacts the stop, and the sampler measures this flexure. The
sampler uses this measurement to position the arm accurately
over each bottle.
Reinitialize Controller
–
The sampler allows you to reset all
the program settings to the settings shipped with the sampler.
Reinitializing also clears the memory that stores the sampler’s
event log and module data.
Use this option cautiously.
9.4 Replacing the Pump
Tube
Replace the pump tube only with Teledyne ISCO’s BLZZRD/6712
pump tubing.
Other pump tubes will not work
. The
BLZZRD/6712 pump tubing is easily recognized by the blue
alignment collars.
Improper pump tubes include those made for Teledyne ISCO’s
o the r s amp le rs (3700, Glacie r, e tc. ) and tu bing f ro m
non-Teledyne ISCO vendors. Also note that the discharge tube is
not the same as the pump tube. You could experience several
problems if you install the wrong pump tubing:
•
The sampler will not pump the liquid.
•
Pump jams
•
Inaccurate sample volumes
•
Faulty liquid detection
Inspect the pump tube periodically. Replace the tube when it
cracks or appears worn. Inspect the tube frequently when the
sample liquid contains a high percentage of suspended or
abrasive solids.
Note
The importance of regular tubing replacement cannot be over-
stated. The key is to replace the tube before failure, not after.
When a pump tube ruptures, grit and other abrasive debris can
be driven into the pump shaft seal. Over time, this abrasive
material will degrade the pump seal, jeopardizing the
NEMA 4x 6 rating of the controller.
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 pro-
vide years of the reliable service that is expected of a Teledyne
ISCO Sampler.
