6100CR Refrigerated Sampler
Section 3 Installation of the Sampler
3.1 Installation Guidelines
Note
Never install the 6100CR where there is any possibility of submersion.
Water could seriously damage mechanical components
inside the controller. Teledyne Isco will not honor the
warranty for any 6100CR Sampler that shows evidence of submersion.
Other than this, there are no serious restrictions on the installation
of the sampler. You must locate the controller no further
than 100 feet from the effluent pipe that is being sampled. Mount
the sampler upright, in a stable location so it will not be tipped
over. Route the drain hose away from the sampler far enough so
the area around the base will not get wet. Avoid placing the controller
in very hot locations. Make installations in a secure place
so they will not be at risk from vandals or damage from any other
activity going on in the area.
3.1.1 Connection of the
Sample Line
The sample line provided by Teledyne Isco is a 1 /4" OD polyethylene
tube with an internally bonded Teflon liner to maintain
sample integrity. The sample line is attached to the effluent lines
by a customer-supplied valve, with appropriate coupling. The
length is 25 ft. minimum to 100 ft. maximum.
Note
The tap into the effluent line must be a valve, rather than just a
simple fitting. It is necessary to be able to turn off the flow
through the sample line to service the filter periodically and for
other maintenance concerns, in addition to safety concerns.
CAUTION
The sample tube (and its valve) are connected to an effluent
pipe containing discharge that may be pressurized (as much
as 120 psi); may be hot (as high as 180°F [85°C]), and will be
chemically reactive, either caustic (high pH) or acidic (low pH),
depending on which effluent line is being sampled. While the
risk of chemical burns from either line may not be severe, the
risk of heat burns from liquid this hot is very serious. Do NOT
cut or shorten the sample line, even if the entire length is not
needed. The 25 foot length helps remove heat from the sample.
