Explosion hazard. Training in pre-entry testing, ventilation, entry procedures, evacuation/rescue
procedures and safety work practices is necessary before entering confined spaces.
The information that follows is supplied to help users understand the dangers and risks that are
associated with entry into confined spaces.
On April 15, 1993, OSHA's final ruling on CFR 1910.146, Permit Required Confined Spaces, became
law. This standard directly affects more than 250,000 industrial sites in the United States and was
created to protect the health and safety of workers in confined spaces.
Definition of a confined space:
A confined space is any location or enclosure that has (or has the immediate potential for) one or
more of the following conditions:
An atmosphere with an oxygen concentration that is less than 19.5% or more than 23.5% and/or a
•
hydrogen sulfide (H2S) concentration that is more than 10 ppm.
• An atmosphere that can be flammable or explosive due to gases, vapors, mists, dusts or fibers.
• Toxic materials which upon contact or inhalation can cause injury, impairment of health or death.
8English
Confined spaces are not designed for human occupancy. Confined spaces have a restricted entry
and contain known or potential hazards. Examples of confined spaces include manholes, stacks,
pipes, vats, switch vaults and other similar locations.
Standard safety procedures must always be obeyed before entry into confined spaces and/or
locations where hazardous gases, vapors, mists, dusts or fibers can be present. Before entry into a
confined space, find and read all procedures that are related to confined space entry.

Volume calibration
The sample volume can be calibrated automatically with the liquid sensor or manually. When the
liquid sensor is used for volume calibration, the sensor is adjusted to accurately measure all
programmed volumes. If the liquid sensor is disabled, the volume for samples, rinses and stormwater
must be calibrated manually.
For typical applications, tap water can be used for the volume calibration. If the sample composition
is significantly different from typical water samples, calibrate the sampler with the liquid to be
collected. All programs must be stopped before calibration.
Calibrate the liquid sensor
The accuracy of the liquid sensor varies with the type of liquid that is sampled. For example, the
volume of a highly turbid sample may not be as accurate as that of clear water. The liquid sensor can
be calibrated with the sample water to improve volume accuracy.

N O T I C E
Do not clean the controller compartment heater with liquids of any kind.
If water is not sufficient to clean the controller and the pump, disconnect the controller and move the
controller away from the sampler. Allow sufficient time for the controller and pump to dry before the
parts are re-installed and put back into service.
Clean the sampler as follows:
Sampler enclosure—Clean the internal and external surfaces with a damp cloth and a mild
•
detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
English23
• Sample bottles—Clean the bottles with a brush and water and a mild detergent. Rinse with fresh
water and then with distilled water. Use an autoclave to clean glass bottles if necessary.
Replace the desiccant
A desiccant cartridge in the controller absorbs moisture and prevents corrosion. Monitor the
desiccant color through the window (Figure 12). Fresh desiccant is yellow. When the color is green,
replace the desiccant.
1. Unscrew and remove the desiccant cartridge (Figure 12).
2. Remove the plug and discard the spent desiccant.
3. Fill the desiccant tube with fresh desiccant.
4. Install the plug.
5. Apply grease to the O-ring.
6. Install the desiccant tube in the controller.

Replace the pump tubing
N O T I C E
Use of tubing other than that supplied by the manufacturer can cause excessive wear on mechanical parts and/or
poor pump performance.
Examine the pump tubing for wear where the rollers rub against the tubing. Replace the tubing when
the reminder message is shown or when the tubing shows signs of wear.
Pre-requisites:
Pump tubing—pre-cut or bulk 4.6 m or 15.2 m (15 ft or 50 ft)
•
1. Disconnect the power to the controller.
2. If the bulk tubing is used, cut the tubing and add alignment dots. Refer to the expanded manual
on the manufacturer's website.
3. Remove the pump tubing as shown in the illustrated steps that follow.
4. Clean the silicone residue from the interior of the pump housing and from the rollers.
5. Install the new pump tubing as shown in the illustrated steps that follow.

Clean the rotor
Clean the rotor, pump tube tracks and pump housing with a mild detergent. Refer to Replace the
pump tubing on page
24 and the illustrated steps that follow.
Replace the distributor arm tube
The distributor arm moves over each bottle during multiple bottle sampling. Replace the tube in the
distributor arm when the tube is worn. Make sure that the correct tube is used for the correct
distributor and distributor arm.
Note: The distributor tubing is not the same as the pump tubing. The pump tubing installed in the distributor
assembly can damage the distributor. Also, samples can be missed because the distributor arm cannot move
easily.
1. Remove the tube from the distributor arm and from the ceiling of the
center section.
2. Insert the new tube into the distributor arm. Make sure that the tube is aligned with the
dimensions shown in Figure 13.
3. Insert the other end of the tube into the fitting on the ceiling of the center section.
4. Complete the diagnostic test for the distributor to make sure that the operation is correct.
