6700 SAMPLERS
MEMORY TO STORE MONITORING DATA
The samplers contain enough memory to store five sampling
programs, sampling data, Isco 700 Series Module readings, and
YSI 600 parameter readings. You can view the readings on
your sampler’s display, or print data reports with Isco’s 3770
Field Printer.
You can also retrieve the readings and reports so that the
information may be processed on a personal computer. Readings
and reports may be collected with a computer running Isco’s
Flowlink software. Flowlink can download the information
through a direct connection, a modem connection (when the
sampler is equipped with the optional dial-out modem), or from a
581 Rapid Transfer Device (RTD). The RTD is a quick and simple
way to transfer the data from the field to your computer. Reports
are easily collected with Isco’s Samplink software.

PUMP REQUIREMENTS
The sampler’s peristaltic pump is extremely powerful. This pump
requires a high capacity power source such as Isco’s model 913 or
923 power pack. Older model power packs do not provide the
needed power. A list of recommended power packs and batteries
can be found in Installing a Power Source on page 46.
The pump also requires a pump tube made specifically for the 6700
sampler. These pump tubes are easily recognized by their blue
alignment collars. The 6700 pump tube is different from other
types, including pump tubes for Isco’s earlier model samplers, such
as the 3700 Series. Other types of pump tubing will not work
in the 6700. Refer to Replacing the Pump Tube on page 75.
GETTING HELP
If you need help, have any questions, or think your sampler requires
repair, contact Isco’s Technical Service Department.
