Campbell PVS4100C, PVS4100D Specifications

COMPONENTS

PVS4100C and PVS4100D

Portable Automatic Liquid Samplers

Biggest,

PVS4100C

Overview

The PVS4100C and PVS4100D are deluxe, portable water samplers
that use ac power with a backup battery. The PVS4100C is a com­posite sampler that deposits its water samples into a 9 L bottle;
the PVS4100D is a discrete sampler that deposits its water samples

Fastest Pump

Vacuum technology

for better samples

PVS4100D

into up to 24 containers. These samplers have a bigger pump than
our other portable water samplers allowing them to support the
fastest sampling rates and longest sampling distances.

Benets and Features

Rapid transport velocities of samples (horizontal draws 76.2 m
(250 ft) at 0.8 m s-1 (2.5 ft s-1), meaning more accurate samples,
even of solids

Controller housed in an environmentally sealed enclosure for
corrosion protection, and all information is easily controlled
and viewable on a 2 by 16 character backlit LCD

Composite or discrete models available

Side handles for easy lifting (increases diameter)
Interfaces with Campbell Scientic dataloggers for more

measurement and control capabilities
Stainless-steel suspension harness* available for sampling

in sewer systems
Handcart* available for easy transport

Options*

Quick connect terminals
Power supply options: 80 to 264 Vac with a 17 A h battery or

80 to 264 Vac without a battery
Water Detection Probe
Warranty options: three or ve year

Technical Details

Vacuum Pump

The PVS4100C and PVS4100D samplers use an external vacuum
pump to draw water through intake tubing, instead of the tra­ditional peristaltic pump that induce ow by squeezing exible
tubing. Because the vacuum method disturbs the water samples
less, they better represent the original water solution, especially
if the solution has high concentrations of suspended solids. To
prevent cross contamination, the samplers use air pressure (up
to 28 psi) to purge the tubing of excess water. See our vacuum
pump water samplers in action at:

Controller/Interfacing with a Datalogger

The PVS4100C and PVS4100D include a programmable controller
with 16-key intuitive touch pad. The controller can accept a pulse
input (e.g., rain gage), a 4 to 20 mA signal (e.g., ow meter), or
initiate a sample on a timed basis. See a demonstration of the
programmable controller at:

www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRr80Lm-5Hs

The sampler can also be interfaced with our dataloggers. Our
dataloggers can measure nearly any turbidity, water level, or
hydrometeorologic sensor, as well as control the sampler based
on time, event, or measured conditions.
