Section 4 Operating the Sampler
4.1 Overview This section shows you how to run Glacier programs. In this
section you will find:
• Starting Programs (4.2)
• Start time Delays (4.3)
• Sampler Inhibiting (4.4)
• Run State Displays (4.5)
• An explanation of the Sample Collection Cycle (4.6)
• An explanation of the refrigeration control (4.7)
• Pausing or Stopping a Program (4.8)
• Program Completion (4.9)
• Post-sampling Activities (4.10)
• Viewing the Log (4.11)
• Text Reports using Teledyne Isco’s SAMPLINK
software (4.11.2)
• Errors (4.11.1)
• Taking Grab Samples (4.12)
4.2 Starting a Program You can easily start the Glacier operation by pressing the GO
button. Pressing this button runs the current program.
The Glacier operation can also be started with the one-button
programming sequence. This action will load the stored program
settings as the current settings and run the program.
Generally when you start a program, the Glacier will attempt to
take its first sample at the start time—unless the first sample is
delayed (4.3) or the Glacier is inhibited (4.4).
CAUTION
Tests indicate that the pump produces sound levels in excess
of 85 db at 3 feet (1 meter). Prolonged exposure to this sound
level could result in hearing loss and requires the use of protective
ear plugs.
4.3 Counting Down Delay
Times
After pressing the GO button, the Glacier will immediately take
a sample regardless of whether it is a time or flow paced
program. However, the Delay to First Sample setting can be used
to start the sample collection up to 9,999 minutes after you press
GO.
