CVS4200 / BVS4300 Stationary Samplers

1. Introduction

The CVS4200-series and BVS4300-series Stationary Samplers are automatic liquid samplers for water and wastewater applications. They use reliable, longlasting, vacuum technology. This sampling method results in faster sample draws and less disturbance of the sample contents. There is also less wear on the tubing, resulting in less-frequent maintenance.

Campbell Scientific offers the following stationary samplers:

• CVS4200C—composite indoor sampler

• CVS4200D—discrete indoor sampler

• BVS4300C—composite outdoor sampler

• BVS4300D—discrete outdoor sampler

Composite samplers deposit all samples into a single container. Discrete samplers place each sample into a separate container.

Before installing the water sampler, please study:

• Section 2, Cautionary Statements

• Section 3, Initial Inspection

• Section 4, Quickstart

2. Cautionary Statements

• A noise free or clean line from primary power is highly recommended to

supply the sampler.

• Never run the sampler’s power wiring in conduit containing phone lines or

power wiring of other devices.

• If possible, site the sampler away from ac power lines.

• Use a BVS4300 with a factory installed heater (option -H) and an

insulated cabinet (option -3) if the sampler will be located outdoors in freezing conditions. Refer to Section 7.1, Use in Adverse Conditions, for more information.

• In extreme cold conditions, insulate or heat the intake hose. If the hose is

positioned mostly vertical, the most prone point of freezing is where the hose enters the frozen water source.

• Use a BVS4300 with the cabinet circulation fan (option -G) if the sampler

will be placed directly in the sun. This keeps the refrigeration unit from getting overtaxed.

CVS4200 / BVS4300 Stationary Samplers

• The intake hose should be 7.6 m (25 ft) or longer. Shorter hoses do not

provide sufficient back pressure to the metering chamber, allowing the pump to efficiently expel all solids into the sampler container.

• Under adverse atmospheric conditions (humid, corrosive, etc.), connect air

to the BVS4300 and use it to purge the cabinet—providing clean air for the pump intake.

CAUTION

Failure to purge the cabinet may damage the sampler and void the warranty (see Section 7.1, Use in Adverse Conditions, for more information).

• Vent the exhaust outdoors if detrimental air conditions exist in the sample

lines of a CVS4200 sampler (see Section 7.1, Use in Adverse Conditions, for more information).

3. Initial Inspection

• Upon receipt of the CVS4200 or BVS4300, inspect the packaging and

contents for damage. File damage claims with the shipping company.

• Immediately check package contents against the shipping documentation.

Contact Campbell Scientific about any discrepancies.

4. Quickstart

Please refer to Section 7.1, Use in Adverse Conditions, if the sampler is used under adverse atmospheric conditions such as extreme humidity.

4.1 Cabinet Positioning

NOTE

Install the sampler as close as possible to the sampling site with a minimum of 10 cm (4 in) of air space around the cabinet (see FIGURE 4-1). Level and secure the unit.

Sampler must be located above sample source, or liquid will flood the machine. For situations where this is not possible, please contact a Campbell Scientific applications engineer for solutions on pressurized sources.

FIGURE 4-1. Sampler installation

4.2 Attach Intake Hose

1. Connect the intake hose to the sampler’s volume control tube (item 1 in FIGURE 5-1 or FIGURE 5-2).

a. If using the 26925-L PVC Intake Hose with option -QD, attach the

hose using the quick deploy connector.

b. Otherwise, place the hose in warm water for a few minutes. Slip the

hose over the volume control tube and secure the hose using the clamp.

2. Route the hose so that it has a near continuous slope from the sampler to the source liquid. This keeps hose clear and fully drained.

3. Place sinker/strainer in source liquid. The sinker/strainer needs to be placed at a depth in which it will remain submerged regardless of the flow velocities.

4.3 Wiring

FIGURE 4-2. Terminal block wiring diagram

4.3.1 CVS4200 Wiring Procedure

1. Remove the hood from chassis. The terminals for field connections are located along the back of the tray (11 on FIGURE 5-2). If the sampler has been provided with a refrigerator, the power plug is also located here.

2. Route cabling from external devices through the clearance holes and connect to the terminal block (see FIGURE 4-2).

NOTE

Use shielded cables for wiring remote/external functions and terminate the shield at the AC ground terminal on the sampler main terminal block, or at the remote site, but not both.

3. Bring power from main distribution panel along a path that does not parallel any existing power wiring to motors, solenoids, or contactors. When sampler power line must cross existing power lines, do so at right angles.

4. Replace hood.

4.3.2 BVS4300 Wiring Procedure

1. Remove four retaining bolts (1/4–20) found across the top of the instrument panel (18 in FIGURE 5-1).

2. If the sampler is refrigerated, make sure the discharge tubing and container full wiring (if so equipped) are extracted from the fridge.

3. Slide out instrument section. The drawer glides that the sampler chassis is mounted on are designed to fully extend from the cabinet.

4. Route cabling from external devices through the 2.75 inch conduit knockouts and connect to the terminal block (see FIGURE 4-2). The terminals for field connection are located along the side at the rear of the tray.

CVS4200 / BVS4300 Stationary Samplers

NOTE

Use shielded cables for wiring remote/external functions and terminate the shield at the AC ground terminal on the sampler main terminal block, or at the remote site, but not both.

5. Bring power from main distribution panel along a path that does not parallel any existing power wiring to motors, solenoids, or contactors. When sampler power lines must cross existing power lines, do so at right angles.

6. Ensure that the wiring harness will not rub or catch in the slide mechanisms before sliding the instrument section back into the cabinet.

7. Replace the four retaining bolts. Although not required for operation, use of these retaining bolts reduces the effects of vibration that occur when the sampler is cycling.

3) Discharge hose: – Free of kinks. – Natural downward slope to sample container. – Properly connected to (or in) sample container.

4) Proper exhaust and instrument air connections (see Section 7.1, Use in Adverse Conditions).

5) Power requirements: – Check terminal strip connections. – Test all outside sources of sampler controls.

5. Product Overview

The BVS4300 and CVS4200 Stationary Samplers are automatic liquid samplers for water and wastewater applications. CVS/BVS Samplers are capable of gathering fluid automatically from a variety of sources, including containers, open channels, sewers, pipes, and any open source of water.

Samplers are designed for reliable, unattended sample collection. Refrigerated units will keep the temperature of the deposited liquid at 4ºC (39.2ºF) until the samples are gathered and brought back to the laboratory for analysis.

There are a variety of methods for depositing samples. Composite sampling is used where samples are deposited, over time, into one container. Discrete systems are used when multiple bottles are needed. These are also called “sequential” systems, and involve a stepper with distributor arm which dispenses the liquid into a bottle, then moves to the next bottle.

CVS4200 / BVS4300 Stationary Samplers

Operating temperature for CVS4200 indoor samplers is 10º to 50ºC (50º to 122ºF), adaptable down to 0ºC (32ºF) upon request. The operating temperature for BVS4300 outdoor samplers with heater and insulation is –40º to 50ºC (–40º to 122ºF). Without insulation and heater, the BVS4300 operating temperature is 0º to 50ºC (32º to 122ºF).

Samples can be triggered by a variety of means. The internal clock on the controller can be set to sample based on time/day (for example, sample every hour). There are also a variety of external inputs that can be connected to control sampling. Pulse count is useful for sampling after a certain number of pulses have been reached (for example, using a rain gauge to trigger sampling). The 4-20mA option is useful for flow-based sampling (for example, using a flow meter to trigger sampling after a certain volume of water has passed by). External contact is used to control the sampler from another datalogger, and is useful when full external control is desired. Level control is the option to choose when the application has starts and stops (for example, using a float switch to trigger sampling when water is present, then stop sampling when the water drops below the set level).

When sampling is initiated, liquid travels through the intake tube into the metering chamber. The amount of water taken is set mechanically using the liquid sensing rod and the volume control tube, which means sample accuracy is precise every time, usually within ±2% or ±2 ml.

Once the pre-set amount has been reached, all excess liquid is purged from the system, and the sample is dropped into a container. Sample containers range from 500 ml (500 cc or 2 cups) wedges in discrete systems, up to 20 liters (5 gallons) containers for composite systems.

Intake tube is offered in either 9.5 mm (3/8 in) ID or 15.9 mm (5/8 in) ID. Transport velocity varies depending on height and distance being sampled. For most situations the sampler pulls at over 1.5 m s

–1

(5 ft s–1). For an in-depth

speed chart, refer to Section 6.5, Sample Transport Velocity.

5.3 Discrete and Composite Overview

5.3.1 Discrete Sampling

Discrete sampling is sampling wherein samples are taken into more than one container. Inside of the refrigerator (or cooling chamber on portable sampler units) is a stepper assembly which revolves 360° and delivers samples into separate containers, ranging from 2 to 24 bottles. Discrete sampling is beneficial in situations where change over time needs to be measured, such as measuring different water characteristics over 24 hours. Labs and monitoring personnel tend to rely on discrete portable sampling.

CVS4200 / BVS4300 Stationary Samplers

FIGURE 5-4. Discrete removable bottle tray (24 bottles)

5.3.2 Composite Sampling

Composite sampling is for drawing water samples into one large container. This is the simplest way of taking samples and typical for most situations where a sampler is set up to measure effluent in one location. It is also significantly less expensive than discrete sampling.

FIGURE 5-5. Composite two gallon bottle with lid

5.4 Sinker / Strainer

The intake hose includes either a lead sinker or stainless-steel sinker/strainer. The sinker or sinker/strainer is intended to keep the sample line fully submerged in the source liquid. The stainless-steel sinker/strainer should be used in samples with material that may clog up a normal sinker, or where the standard sinker could stir up bottom sediment.

FIGURE 5-6. Lead sinker

CVS4200 / BVS4300 Stationary Samplers

FIGURE 5-7. Stainless-steel sinker/strainer

5.5 Special Systems

5.5.1 5/8 in. Systems

In applications with large particles or materials in the source liquid, a 5/8 in. ID system will help prevent clogging. The added diameter adds 66% more volume to the entire system.

For a sampler to increase to a 5/8 in. ID, the following parts and components are changed to allow for more volume: intake tube, volume control tube, all fittings, metering chamber, metering chamber lid, discharge tube, sample container cover, and sinker or strainer. The 5/8 in. system is only offered for our composite samplers.

5.5.2 Sanitary Systems – Teflon and Glass

In applications wherein the water sample must be prevented from coming into contact with any plastics, a sanitary system is recommended. For example, when testing for acid/base/neutral extractable organics and pesticides, the sanitary system will keep the final sample clean from any contaminants.

The sanitary system includes changing all “wetted” components of the sampling system (that is, everything that comes in contact with the final

CVS4200 / BVS4300 Stationary Samplers

sample). TABLE 5-5 outlines the key changes made to the sampler for a sanitary system.

O-Rings Buna-N (or Viton) Silicone

5.5.3 Pressurized Source

Special care must be taken in applications with back pressure so that the sampler does not become flooded. Options for pressurized situations include:

1. Relocate the sampler. Although it may be located farther from the

source, the CVS/BVS vacuum system is able to handle long draws and can be moved to a location (higher) where back-pressure is not an issue.

2. Looping the intake tube. For small amounts of pressure, looping the

intake tube up to a height that the water pressure cannot push above is a simple way of getting around the issue. The maximum height would be the maximum vertical draw, 3.4 m (27.5 ft).

TABLE 5-5. Sanitary System Changes

NOTE

We recommend using a valve with external valve control in this kind of situation, to be on the same side. See FIGURE 5-8.

FIGURE 5-8. Vertical loop for pressurized source

CVS4200 / BVS4300 Stationary Samplers

3. Flow-Through Chamber. Divert liquid from the pressurized line to a

“wet well” or secondary pool, and attach this component to it, as shown in FIGURE 5-9.

4. Configuring a Combination of Valves. Using a combination of valves,

such as pressure reducing valves and ball valves, previous customers have successfully managed to take samples under a certain amount of pressure without flooding the system.

FLOW-THROUGH CHAMBER MUST BE INSTALLED BELOW ELEVATION OF METERING CHAMBER TO AVOID FLOODING OF SAMPLER.

CVS4200 / BVS4300 Stationary Samplers

6.5.1 Using Velocity to Calculate Purge Time

Purge time of the sampler needs to be programmed based on the length of hose and the velocity at which the liquid will travel through the hose. The formula is l / v = p (length / velocity = min. purge time).

NOTE

6.5.2 Horizontal/Vertical Combinations

7. Operation

7.1 Use in Adverse Conditions

Adding a few seconds to the purge time is recommended to ensure the line is fully cleared of any obstructions.

Example: 100 ft of hose, at 5 ft s–1, requires a minimum 20 s purge time. 100 / 5 = 20 s. The number input for purge time should be a minimum of 20, but preferably 24.

Standard purge time for 25 ft of intake tube is 10 s. Although a standard 25 ft hose will sample in less than 4 seconds, 10 s is the minimum recommended for proper clearing of the line.

The velocity charts above measure only horizontal or only vertical. Most applications will have combinations of both. With 61 m (200 ft) of intake tubing, CVS/BVS Samplers are capable of drawing a sample above 0.6 m s

–1

) at 6.1 m (20 ft) of vertical. At 7 m (23 ft) of vertical with 61 m (200

(2 ft s ft) of intake tubing, sampling may or may not be successful, depending on altitude and other factors. For more detailed information for your specific application, please contact a Campbell Scientific applications engineer.

–1

7.1.1 Exhaust

When the sampling sequence is in the suction cycle, the air removed from the metering chamber and intake hose is vented externally through the exhaust fitting. If the unit is installed indoors and detrimental air conditions exist in the sample lines, the exhaust should be vented outdoors. To vent the exhaust, connect a hose to the pump exhaust connection (13 on FIGURE 5-1) and route the hose outdoors.

7.1.2 Instrument Air

Under adverse atmospheric conditions (humid, corrosive, etc.), compressed air should be used to purge the cabinet and provide clean air for the pump intake. Connect the tubing for the air tank to the fittings located on the left side of the BVS enclosure (14 on FIGURE 5-1).

WARNING

Failure to purge the cabinet in harsh conditions may cause damage to the sampler and loss of warranty.

7.1.3 Freezing Conditions

If the sampler is located outdoors in freezing conditions, we recommend a BVS4300 with a factory installed heater and insulation.

CVS4200 / BVS4300 Stationary Samplers

NOTE

CAUTION

As the interior floor of the cabinets is not insulated, an added insulating factor is to fill the cavity under the cabinet between the mounting legs. This can best be accomplished using 5 cm (2 in) foam board (available from your local building supply store).

Intake hose should be positioned to have as little horizontal distance as possible, so that no water can collect in the line and freeze.

In extreme cold conditions the intake hose should be insulated and/or heated.

If the hose is positioned mostly vertical, the most prone point of freezing is where the hose enters the frozen water source.

7.2 Power Line/Wiring Considerations

CAUTION

A noise free or clean line from primary power is highly recommended to supply the CVS/BVS sampler. Never run wiring in the same conduit as the aforementioned or together with any telephone line(s).

Bring power from main distribution panel along a path that does not parallel any existing power wiring to motors, solenoids, or contactors.

CAUTION

When sampler power line must cross existing power lines, do so at right angles.

Wiring to remote/external functions should avoid all AC power lines if possible and/or run in shielded cable terminating the shield at the AC ground terminal on the sampler main terminal block, or at the remote site, but not both.

CVS4200 / BVS4300 Stationary Samplers

7.3 Operating Sequence

7.3.1 Sampling Sequence

SAMPLING PROCESS:

1. High pressure air purge of intake hose.

2. Liquid is drawn into the metering chamber, up to the liquid sensing rod.

3. All excess liquid is purged from the system down to the level set by the

volume control tube.

4. The sample is then released into either one composite container or one of

several discrete containers.

The sampling sequence begins with a high pressure air purge of the intake assembly to remove residual liquid and obstructions. Upon completion of the pre-purge cycle, the system converts to a vacuum state, drawing the sample through the intake hose into the metering chamber. The system then pressurizes, ejecting excess fluid back through the intake line until the predetermined sample volume is achieved. The sample is then deposited under pressure into the sample container while the post purge again clears the intake line of any residual liquid.

Should the sampler, for any reason, not be able to draw a sufficient volume of fluid to obtain a sample, the unit automatically initiates a second attempt. Should a sample still not be delivered, the sequence will be abandoned and the unit will await the next initiation. Upon two consecutive failures, the sampler will suspend the sampling program until manually RESTARTed.

If programmed with the FAULT SHUTDOWN “disabled”, the sampler will not make a second attempt to draw the sample, but will simply abandon it and await the next sample initiation. Neither will the unit suspend the sampling program after consecutive failures. This function is provided for use in the event that the sample source may be lacking sufficient fluid from which to draw, for a period of time , yet allows the sampler to continue operating without a FAULT SHUTDOWN occurring. The second attempt is not made to

prevent unnecessary wear on the sampler.

7.3.2 Line Voltage Failure

Should the sampler have a factory installed internal battery or have an external battery connected, the sampler will continue operating (with the exception of the refrigerator and heater). The duration of operation will depend on the capability and charge level of either battery. The frequency and the length of each sample cycle will also have an impact on how long the batteries will last.

7.4 Operating Instructions

7.4.1 Sample Volume Adjustments

CVS4200 / BVS4300 Stationary Samplers

CAUTION

Setting the desired sample volume is accomplished by adjusting the height of the volume control tube within the metering chamber. The tube is mounted through the top of the chamber with a gland nut fixing the position. To adjust the sample volume, loosen the nut until the volume control tube may be moved freely. Raise or lower the bottom end of the tube to the desired volume using the lines provided on the side of the chamber as a guide (lines are spaced at 100 cc intervals with the exception of one at 50 cc). Tighten the gland nut to hold the volume control tube at the desired position.

The volume control tube should always be located below the liquid sensing rod.

CVS4200 / BVS4300 Stationary Samplers

CAUTION

Hold the bottom nut while loosening / tightening the top nut, or it may become loosened from the metering chamber cover and create an imperceptible leak in the vacuum system.

7.4.2 Liquid Sensing Rod

This probe, also called the “level control rod”, is used to stop the sample intake. Always ensure that its lower end is located above the volume control tube. Approximately 1” difference is sufficient. If the fluid intake is turbulent within the metering chamber, more than 1” may be required to ensure splashing of fluid does not trigger probe.

In applications with substantial oil or grease, the rods can become coated and lose their conductivity. This is prevented by cleaning the rods regularly. In extreme cases, extra SS wire can be wrapped around the liquid sensing rod to increase its surface area.

CAUTION

The liquid sensing rod and volume control tubes must be kept clean to ensure conductivity necessary to detect the presence of the fluid.

Most CVS/BVS Samplers incorporate a Barrier Valve in the metering chamber cover, where the tubing from the pump enters. It consists of a cage containing a ball that will float if the sample should rise to the top of the chamber without detection. Should rod conductivity fail, the fluid brings the float into contact with an O-ring surrounding the pressure / vacuum port, sealing the entry to the tubing and the pump (where the fluid may cause serious damage). This O-ring Barrier Valve should be inspected regularly and replaced as necessary.

Due to the restriction of Wetted Materials (such as, stainless steel, glass and fluorocarbons, etc.), some models of the sampler do not contain this barrier valve. In these units, a secondary liquid-sensing circuit may be added as a precaution. This circuit is connected to the pump tubing fitting on the Metering Chamber cover.

7.5 Battery

7.5.1 Charging 12 Vdc Battery and Reverse Polarity Protection

The sampler will charge only the factory installed internal battery. This charging takes place continually as long as there is incoming line power. Should the need arise to only charge the internal battery, as would be required to store the sampler for an extended period of time, simply place the “RUN / OFF” toggle switch in the OFF position, and leave the sampler power breaker on. Twenty-four (24) hours should be sufficient to fully charge the battery.

The sampler is equipped with REVERSE POLARITY PROTECTION for checking the connection of an external battery. When attaching an external battery, be sure to check the reverse polarity indicator. If it is ON, reverse the connections at the battery.

CVS4200 / BVS4300 Stationary Samplers

FIGURE 7-1. Battery performance curve

7.5.2 Sampler Controller Backup Battery

The controller contains a 3.6 V lithium backup battery to maintain user settings during loss of system power. If power is removed for any reason, the controller will start a planned shutdown procedure which will save all user settings while its operating voltage is reduced from 5 V to approximately

3.3 V. The rate at which this voltage drops is slowed by the presence of a supercapacitor. By the time the voltage has reached 3.3 V, the controller has safely stored all user settings and entered a “sleep” mode. This is an extremely low-power mode which is maintained by a trickle of current from the lithium battery, and can be maintained for many years under normal circumstances.

The battery is located on the top left hand side of the controller. It is accessible by the removal of the clear cover, and should be changed under powered conditions. Since the controller is a low-power device, this uncovering can be safely done, taking care that no conductive implement contacts sensitive circuit components.

If the controller starts to exhibit certain operating anomalies such as loss of user settings after sustained power outages or an inability to wake up after a normal shutdown, it may be due to a low or totally discharged backup battery. To predict the probability of these events, regular examination of the battery condition is encouraged. The battery status is easily determined while the controller is active. The process will not affect a running program. Battery status can be checked by use of the following Touchpad sequence:

CVS4200 / BVS4300 Stationary Samplers

1. VIEW, OTHER OPTIONS

2. Select MAINTENANCE, ENTER

3. Select B/U BATTERY TEST, ENTER

The display will then show “PASSED”, “LOW” or “FAULT”. The latter two require battery replacement (see Section 9.4, Controller Battery Replacement Procedure).

7.6 Programming

7.6.1 Guidelines

Controller settings may be changed at any time. Changes are termed NEW ENTRIES. No NEW ENTRIES will be acted upon unless the controller is RESTARTed. Once RESTARTed, all NEW ENTRIES become ACTIVE SETTINGS.

Every time the controller is RESTARTed, all accumulators (i.e., SAMPLES TAKEN, TIME REMAINING, REMAINING PULSES, etc.) are cleared

and the ACTIVE SETTINGS are reloaded unless NEW ENTRIES have been made.

Remember - Start Delay is reloaded too !!

7.6.1.1 Flashing Text

Flashing text is the system wide prompt that indicates an input is required from the user. Flashing words or duel flashing digits prompt for arrow keys to be pressed to scroll through available options. A single flashing digit prompts for a numeric key to be pressed. When the desired option or number is shown on the display, press the ENTER key.

7.6.1.2 Real Time Clock

The controller has two basic timing modes. The simplest of these requires no maintenance; it simply provides a “heartbeat” for various timed functions. The other timing mode is the REAL TIME CLOCK that is used in several functions and must be correctly set. This is likely the first item requiring

programming. Although time may have been set at the factory, time zone shifts may require adjustment of the Real Time Clock.

7.6.1.3 Total Bottles

Since the number of bottles is usually determined by customer requirement at the time of purchase, this variable will normally be set at the factory to match the actual container hardware. Choices are restricted to a single container (as in composite) or 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 or 24. These all form instructions to the stepper motor in how it will behave when the internal command is given to step to the next container (as each step increment is 15°).

7.6.2 Touchpad Keys

CVS4200 / BVS4300 Stationary Samplers

TABLE 7-1. Touchpad Button Descriptions

Button Description

The VIEW key is used to review alterable parameters currently in use. It has no effect on the program being executed at the time. Once pressed, the user is prompted for a FUNCTION to be viewed. The parameters visible under the function can be stepped through using the ENTER key.

The SET key is used to change program settings or the entire sampling program. Changes made have no effect on the program being executed at the time until the RESTART key is pressed twice. To leave a programming sequence before entering it in memory, press SET or VIEW and the sequence is aborted.

The ENTER key is used to complete either a VIEW or SET sequence, where sub-menu items are available. Under the control of the VIEW key, parameters are scrolled onto the display, changing with each use of the ENTER key until a complete display of the parameter is completed. Under the control of the SET key, parameters can be displayed, with the added ability to change their values, using the ENTER key to accept the new value until the entire parameter is displayed. (Note: New values are not operational at this time.)

TABLE 7-1. Touchpad Button Descriptions

Button Description

MANUAL PURGE. Purges the intake line independent of program control, as long as a

programmed cycle has not started. Sampler starts its pump, creating pressure in the sample intake tube to purge it of any excess material that may be present. Button must be pressed twice to purge line. Sustained pressure on the key during the second press will cause purging to continue until the key is released.

MANUAL ADVANCE. Distributor arm advances one position (for example, to next bottle), dependent on the equipment available (discrete samplers only). This action is NOT updated to

any current sampler program. Button must be pressed twice to initiate manual advance.

MANUAL SAMPLE. Initiate a single Sample Cycle. Sampler must not be engaged in a sampling event at the time. This action and any resulting sample collected are NOT updated to any current sampler program. The Bottle Position is NOT advanced. Program will continue uninterrupted. Button must be pressed twice to initiate manual sample. Whether successful or

not, the display will read “MANUAL SAMPLE Completed”.

7.6.3 General Terms

CVS4200 / BVS4300 Stationary Samplers

Many of the functions available on the Touchpad have a variety of options to enhance their capabilities. These options are programmable from the Touchpad and require only that the sampler have the correct equipment configuration to utilize them.

DISABLE

The display showing disabled will reflect the status of any function not being used.

TIME/DAY

The basis for several timed functions is the Real Time Operating System. Time (of) Day will be a means of setting the timing period for the START DELAY function. The format is on a weekly basis, requiring hour, minute, AM/PM and day inputs (HH:MM AM SUN). This means the START

DELAY can be set to any particular minute in a week.

INTERVAL TIME

Sampler operation can be controlled by fixed time intervals which do not require Time/Day setting. SAMPLE INITIATION has an option whereby an interval time can be set between sample cycles. The controller will cause samples to be taken on a timed interval basis, continuing until the sample program is completed by a full jar or operator intercession.

PULSE INPUT

This option will allow the controller to determine the sampler operation based on external criteria. Pulses fed to an internal accumulator in the controller will be compared to the setting entered by the operator and will cause a sample cycle to start. The accumulator will reset immediately and counting of pulses

CVS4200 / BVS4300 Stationary Samplers

will begin again. There is no loss of count the sample cycle. Pulse requirements of the system are detailed in the specifications.

4-20mA INPUT

Where external devices do not themselves generate pulses in any relation to their process but generate a current signal of 4-20mA, this input option will generate internal pulses proportional to the incoming 4-20mA signal. These can then be treated the same as the Pulse Input option and accumulated in the controller to determine when a sample cycle will occur.

EXTERNAL CONTACT

The sampler controller can react to an external, dry contact, otherwise known as a zero-voltage contact, to activate a sample cycle on demand. This will generally be when external conditions have caused a relay to close, requiring a sample be taken at that time.

LEVEL CONTROL

The START DELAY function is a special case of the external contact option where the contact signal is required to be present for a pre-programmed time. This enables verification of the signal where fluctuations may occur in the level which would trigger samples at unwanted times. This is the only case in which the START DELAY is not a single timed event. The operation of the sampler after the level signal is verified will be controlled by whatever function is set in the SAMPLE INITIATION. It will continue until the level drops or the function is terminated by the controller. If the level drops before the function is finished, any sample cycle already in progress will be completed and then the system will shut down until the next verified level control signal.

COMPOSITE

A program option which determines that all the samples that are gathered will be placed in a single container. The sample program terminates after a specific number of samples.

MULTI-COMPOSITE

This option is used for discrete sampling applications, to deposit multiple samples to one container before advancing the distributor mechanism to the next container. The interval between each sample is controlled by the SAMPLE INITIATION options. The multi-composite setting is programmable up to 99 samples per container, for up to 24 containers depending on the hardware configuration.

CONSECUTIVE

This option is used for discrete sampling applications, to successively deposit one sample to each of a programmed number of containers on any given sample initiation. The consecutive setting is programmable up to 99 containers per sample initiation, although this may be severely limited by hardware configuration.

CVS4200 / BVS4300 Stationary Samplers

DAILY CYCLE

Allows the sampler to deposit equal sample volumes into a predetermined number of containers per programmed day. Each day may have any number of samples taken, dependent on the SAMPLE INITIATION mode chosen. Deposits are made to as many as 9 containers per day, to a cumulative total of 24 containers. (For example, choosing a 24 bottle format, the sampler may be programmed to deposit to Three (3) bottles on any six days of the week, together with up to Six (6) bottles on the seventh.) Timing is dependent on the crystal-controlled Real Time Clock in the controller. The first program day will be the current day the programming is done, unless the START DELAY option is chosen to determine when sampling will begin.

TIMED STEP (Override)

This option will cause the sample distributor to step to a new container regardless of the status of the SAMPLE INITIATION setting. For example, the actual sampling may be under the control of a flowmeter and taking samples based on the flow rate as determined by pulses or 4-20mA input to the controller. When the user-programmed Timed interval has elapsed, the controller will Step to a new container. The Timed Step can be set for any interval up to 99 hours 59 minutes. Progress of the step timer can be viewed by selecting View, Program Type and pressing ENTER twice. Thus you may view the REMAINING TIME or the step timing.

7.6.4 Programming START DELAY

7.6.4.1 START DELAY Overview

START DELAY is the function which will delay the beginning of a sample program until certain external conditions are met. Upon meeting those conditions, the sampler will initiate a sample cycle and then operate based on the SAMPLE INITIATION parameters. Under START DELAY, flashing text prompts the user to scroll through available options by pressing arrow keys. These options only require that the correct equipment is present to utilize them. The last option selected in previous programming will be the first to appear on the display.

The display showing Disabled will reflect the fact that the function is not being used.

CVS4200 / BVS4300 Stationary Samplers

This option will allow the controller to determine the sampler’s start of operation based on external pulses. Pulses fed to an internal accumulator in the controller will be compared to the setting entered by the operator. Pulse requirements of the system are detailed in the specifications.

Where external devices do not themselves generate pulses in any relation to their process but generate a current signal of 420mA, this input option will generate internal pulses proportional to the incoming 4-20mA signal. These can then be treated the same as the Pulse Input option a

nd accumulated in the controller to determine when a sample program should start.

The sampler controller can react to an external dry contact, otherwise known as a zero-voltage contact, to activate a sample program on demand. This will generally be when external conditions have caused a relay to close, requiring a sample program be started at that tim e.

7.6.4.2 START DELAY using Time/Day

This option is a special case of the external contact option. The key difference is that

the contact closure must be present fo pre-programmed time, thus enabling verification of the signal. This will accommodate fluctuations as seen in a level switch, thereby avoiding triggering of samples at unwanted times. This is the only

case in which the START DELAY is not a single timed event. Should the contact open

for the same pre-programmed time, the sampler will, after completing any sample cycle already in progress, halt the sampling initiation and await the next verified signal. At this time, the sampling program will resume.

The following sequence of entries are made on the Touchpad to create a future starting time for the operation of the Sampler. The ACTIVE SETTINGS are not being altered.

7.6.5 Programming SAMPLE INITIATION

7.6.5.1 SAMPLE INITIATION Overview

SAMPLE INITIATION is the function that will determine the frequency that samples are drawn. A variety of options to enhance the capabilities of this function are available on the Touchpad. When the SAMPLE INITIATION has been chosen to be set, a list of options is presented as flashing text below the main heading of the function selected. The list is advanced using the ARROW keys (any direction) until the desired option is displayed. These options are programmable from the Touchpad and require only that the sampler have the correct equipment configuration to utilize them. The last option selected in previous programming will be the first to appear on the display.

CVS4200 / BVS4300 Stationary Samplers

The display showing disabled will reflect the fact that the function is not being used.

Sampler operation can be started at uniform intervals. This option allows an interval time to be set between sample cycles.

This option will allow the controller to determine the SAMPLE INITIATION based on external pulses. Pulses fed to an internal accumulator in the controller will be compared to the setting entered by the operator and will cause a sample cycle to start. The accumulator will reset immediately and counting of pulses will begin again. There is no loss of count during the sample cycle.

CVS4200 / BVS4300 Stationary Samplers

7.6.5.2 SAMPLE INITIATION using Interval Time

The sampler controller can react to an external dry contact, otherwise known as a zero-voltage contact, to activate a sample cycle on demand. This will generally be when external conditions have caused a relay to close, whose contact will cause a sample to be taken.

The following sequence of entries are made on the Touchpad to form a basic operating parameter for operation of the sampler. This will determine the time from the start of a sample cycle to the start of the next sample cycle. No time is lost during the actual sample cycle. The ACTIVE SETTINGS are not being altered.

7.6.6.1 PROGRAM TYPE Overview

PROGRAM TYPE is the function that determines how the sampler will perform its program. A variety of options are available. These options are programmable from the Touchpad and require only that the sampler have the correct equipment configuration to utilize them. The basic function of the PROGRAM TYPE is to determine the movement of the distributor.

The program option which determines that all the samples that are gathered will be placed in a single container. The sampler program terminates after the specified number of samples have been taken.

This option is used for discrete sampling applications, to deposit one or a number of samples to one container before advancing to the next container. The interval betwee samples is controlled by the SAMPLE INITIATION function. The multi-composite setting is programmable up to 99 samples per container, for up to 24 containers depending on the hardware configuration.

CVS4200 / BVS4300 Stationary Samplers

This option will cause the sampler to step to a new container regardless of the status of

the SAMPLE INITIATION setting. For example, the actual sampling may be under the control of a flowmeter and taking samples based on the flow rate as determined by pulses or 4-20mA input to the controller. When the user-programmed timed interval has elapsed, the controller will step to a new container. The Timed Step c be set for any interval up to 99 hours 59 minutes. Progress of the step timer can be viewed by selecting View, Program Type and pressing ENTER twice. Thus you may view the step timing and the amount of time until the next

step occurs.

7.6.7 Programming OTHER OPTIONS

7.6.7.1 OTHER OPTIONS Overview

SET or VIEW

This feature allows the user to SET or VIEW the internal Real-Time clock of the

microprocessor.

This feature allows the user to SET or VIEW the duration for which the sampler will purge the intake line prior to drawing in a sample to the chamber. The maximum allowable setting is 99 seconds.

This feature allows the user to change how the Pinch Valve will operate during sampling cycles. The setting is dependant upon which generation of sample the controller is used on. If this is a new unit, the Pinch Valve action will have been factory set. Should the controller be used as a retrofit into an older model, the setting may have to be changed. If the sampler has a Pinch Valve that squeezes shut the discharg tube even during an inactive state, this model is termed as normally closed. Shou the tubing be shut only when the Pinch Valve is energized, it is termed normally open. This is the ONLY setting for the PVS samplers.

This feature will enable or disable the ability of the controller to cease operations wh encounters repeated difficulties in the drawing of samples. The controller norm will attempt to obtain a valid sample by repetition of its programming with extend purge times and vacuum cycles, als extending the time allowed for the acquisition of the sample. When a sam not obtained, this fact is noted in the controller memory and the program resum If after two (2) successive attempts have failed, the controller will Shut Down, haltin sampling until operator intervention clears any reason for fault and RESTARTs th program. This is not always a required course of action. If FAULT SHUTDOWN is disabled, the program will record all failures to obtain samples a sample initiation.

9. Maintenance

NOTE

The following maintenance procedures should be performed at regular intervals.

9.1 General Maintenance

1. Disconnect power.

2. Open metering chamber by removing wing nuts and chamber cover.

3. Clean volume control tube and level sensing probe with mild detergent.

Alternatively, exchange tube and probe with clean set. Do not use any

cleaner which may be harmful to the metering chamber cover. Do not use solvents such as acetone, benzene, carbon tetrachloride or lacquer thinners. Grease and oil may be removed with kerosene or aliphatic naphtha (nonaromatic).

4. Check and clean O-rings in metering chamber cover.

Replace if damaged, worn or brittle.

5. Clean metering chamber using mild detergent.

Do not use any cleaner which may be harmful to the clear acrylic (for example, petrochemical solvents, as noted above). Do not use abrasives or “scouring” compounds.

6. Check discharge tubing for wear and replace as necessary.

7. Check pinch valve to ensure free movement.

8. If possible, run sampler through several sampling sequences in clean

water.

9.2 Maintenance of Refrigerator

CVS4200 / BVS4300 Stationary Samplers

9.2.1 Cleaning

CAUTION

Never use acids, chemical thinner, gasoline, benzene, or the like for cleaning ANY part of the refrigerator. Boiling water and benzene may deform or damage the plastic parts.

1. Turn off power.

2. Remove containers and trays.

3. Wash interior liner with a warm solution of two tablespoons of baking

powder per quart of water. Rinse and wipe dry. Do not use soaps, detergents, scouring powder, spray cleaners or the like on the interior liner as it may cause odors in the refrigerator compartment.

4. Wipe the exterior surface with a soft cloth dampened with soapy water and

then dry with another soft cloth. Common appliance spray cleaner may be used for exterior only. Use only mild soapy water to clean door gaskets.

9.2.2 Temperature Control

Refrigerator temperature can be regulated by adjusting the cold control. The closer to “MAX” position, the lower the temperature. Recommended setting is between “3 – 4”. However, refrigerator temperature will vary depending on the ambient air temperature and on the frequency with which the door is opened. This refrigerator may cycle on and off more frequently than regular size refrigerators. This is normal because of its compactness.

CVS4200 / BVS4300 Stationary Samplers

9.3 Testing System Vacuum

Using the (optional) built-in pressure/vacuum gauge, take a reading to ensure system has no leaks. Optimal pressure is above 28 psi. Optimal vacuum should be 12 psi or better.

If the system is not performing at its peak, try the following:

1. Check intake hose for leaks/kinks.

2. Check discharge tube, ensure it has no leaks and is in good shape.

3. Check all fittings to ensure they are tight.

4. Make sure when tightening and loosening the gland nuts on the top of the

metering chamber that the bottom nut is held secure and does not move on the cover. Ensure the top nut is securely tightened, and use a wrench if necessary.

5. If system is still not performing at its peak, inspect pump and all pump

tubing.

9.4 Controller Battery Repalcement Procedure

1. Make sure the controller is powered.

2. Remove Touchpad (clear) cover from the controller, remembering to

handle internal ribbon cable and connector with care.

3. Locate the battery holder on the normal left side of the circuit board. The

battery is a 1/2” cylinder about 1” in length. The positive (+) end of the battery has a raised button. Note the button’s relative position in the holder. It should be pointing away from the display side of the board.

4. Place new battery in holder, noting position of button with respect to the

polarity indicators in the holder.

5. Check battery status, as above. If necessary, locate small white button at

top of the control board (under display) and push to restore factory defaults.

6. Replace cover securely and re-enter user settings.

9.5 Storage

If the sampler is not to be used for an extended period of time, store the unit in an upright position in a warm, dry location. If the unit has an integral battery, recharge the unit prior to storage.

Acceptable storage temperature: –30º to +60ºC (–22º to +140ºF)
