Optional Strainer. Intake Hose Stepper Assembly Distributor Arm Sample Container(s) Retaining Plate T-Bar Bottle-Guide Notch Description For easy transport. Molded medium-density linear polyethylene, 3 piece construction. Provides protection from wind and rain. Not submersible. The hose must lie in the slot for lid to close properly. A secondary notch is provided for lining up the sampler properly. There are three clasps for each section, for a total of six. The clasps have ringlets for attaching a suspension harness. Red Light: Reverse Polarity, Green Light: Power Left Plug: External Signals (to be used with optional signal cable) Right Plug: Power - 120VAC or 12VDC Left Fuse: 120VAC, Right Fuse: 12VDC Toggle Switch: Power On/Off For detailed chart, see page 1-8. For easy transport. The volume control tube is where the intake hose is connected to the sampler. This stainless steel tube is raised or lowered manually using fitting to set the sample volume (see FIGURE 1-3 on page 1-6). Connects electricity to the rods for sampling. When replacing metering chamber, these rods can be easily disconnected. To adjust sample volume, twist top nut while holding bottom nut in place. Hand tightening works for many applications, but a wrench is advised. This chamber is where the sample liquid is drawn into before dropping into the final container. The rods inside are raised and lowered to the sample volume desired. Standard on all samplers. The PVS4100 battery is 15 lbs, 17AH. The PVS4120 battery (shown) is 4 lbs, 7 AH. This is where sampler is controlled and programmed. Keeps the end of the intake tube in the source liquid. Optional strainer can raise collection point above sinker. Standard samplers come with 25 Feet of 3/8" ID PVC tube. Moves the distributor arm for multiple bottle configurations. This is not present on composite (single bottle) samplers. Dispenses liquid into bottles. Moves to next bottle after sampling. On composite (single bottle) samplers, this is replaced with discharge tube. The container(s) that the sample is deposited in can be made from a variety of materials, shapes, and sizes. In discrete samplers, there is a distributor arm that deposits samples into multiple containers. Holds sample bottles down tightly (discrete samplers only). This bar is needed to hold the retaining plate down. It is imperative that the bottles do not lift up even a little bit, as they can interfere with the mobility of the distributor arm (discrete samplers only). This notch is the location of bottle number one. It lines up the middle section of the sampler so that the distributor arm can be placed at the same location. 1-3
