INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION
GENERAL
The Masterflex
®
E/S
™
Composite Sampler is a DSP controlled,
portable, self-contained, programmable peristaltic pump
system designed to meet EPA, NPDES guidelines for the
sampling of storm and waste water.
The Masterflex
®
E/S
™
Composite Sampler as shown in Figure
1, consists of an exterior housing, a controls console which
contains the internal power source, pump drive system and
system controls, a Masterflex
®
L/S
®
Easy-Load
®
peristaltic
pump head and a sealed and vented sample reservoir. The
drive system is capable of operating one Masterflex

or L/S
®
PTFE pump head.
The Masterflex
®
E/S
™
Composite Sampler is current limited,
protected from reverse power supply polarity and transient
voltages.
You may operate the Masterflex
®
E/S
™
Composite Sampler on
the internal battery, an external 12V DC source or indoors
using the 115V AC or 230V AC with the AC/DC Universal
Power Supply/Converter supplied with the unit.
The system features a built-in spill-proof gel battery and
recharging system allowing the unit to be recharged from an
AC power source using the supplied AC/DC Universal Power
Supply/Converter or from an automotive 12V DC electrical
system if used with the Automotive Power Adapter accessory.
It is designed and programmed to accept, control and power
one Masterflex
®
L/S
®
Easy-Load
®
, Standard or PTFE Tubing
pump head for fluid transfer and sampling in the field.
The unit is housed in a high visibility, protective polyethylene
housing. The control panel and the drive controls have an
environmental protection rating of IP56.
When closed and latched, the drive will float for a minimum of 30
minutes if dropped into a lake or stream to allow recovery of the unit.
SUCTION LIFT
The Masterflex
®
E/S
™
Composite Sampler is capable of lifting
a sample of water up to twenty-five (25) feet vertically. This
capability is called suction lift and is measured from the
surface of the liquid to the pump head.
If the liquid to be sampled has a viscosity or density greater
than water, this lifting capability is reduced or diminished.
This lifting capability is also diminished as altitude above
sea level increases.
SCOPE OF THE MANUAL
This manual contains instructions for installing, setting up,
programming, operating and maintaining the sampling
system. It is intended for use by technicians and operators
as well as maintenance personnel. The TROUBLESHOOTING
section contains a list of possible problems, their probable
causes, and actions to take to remedy each problem.
Instructions for replacing user-serviceable parts and a list of
