Note<br />
If using a power pack with the<br />
<strong>6700</strong>, <strong>Isco</strong> recommends you use<br />
the new 913 or 923 power pack.<br />
Older model power packs may<br />
not provide sufficient power.<br />
Refer to the <strong>Isco</strong> Power Products<br />
Guide shipped with your sampler<br />

About Suction Lines<br />
Thevinyllinecontainsavery low parts-per-million level of<br />
phenols. If phenol content<br />
affects your sample analysis,<br />
use the Teflon suction line.<br />
Occasionally, your sampling<br />
application may suggest a<br />
nonstandard line. For best<br />
sampling results, however, use<br />
the standard suction line<br />
available from <strong>Isco</strong>.<br />
When installing the sampler,<br />
be sure the vertical distance<br />
between the liquid level and<br />
the pump is as small as<br />
possible.<br />

INSTALLING A POWER SOURCE<br />
The <strong>6700</strong> <strong>Sampler</strong> requires 12-volt DC power. Power sources<br />
available from <strong>Isco</strong> are listed below.<br />
946 Lead Acid Battery<br />
934 Nickel Cadmium Battery<br />
913 High Capacity Power Pack (120 volts AC, 50/60 Hz)<br />
923 High Capacity Power Pack (240 volts AC, 50/60 Hz)<br />
914 Battery Backed Power Pack (120 volts AC, 50/60 Hz)<br />
924 Battery Backed Power Pack (240 volts AC, 50/60 Hz)<br />
948 45 Amp Hr Battery<br />
To install the smaller batteries or power packs on the sampler:<br />
1. Place the power source in the sampler’s battery recess.<br />
2. Secure the power source with the black rubber draw-catches.<br />
3. Attach the power-source cable to the power-source connector<br />
on the controller.<br />
Connecting an External 12-Volt DC Source<br />
You can also power the sampler with an external 12-volt DC<br />
source, such as an automotive battery. Connect the sampler to<br />
the battery with the External 12-Volt DC Power Cable.<br />
Be sure to attach the positive and negative clips to the correct<br />
battery terminals. If polarity is reversed, the sampler may be<br />
permanently damaged.<br />
SUCTION LINE<br />
The suction line is the tubing from the sampling point to the pump<br />
intake. The <strong>6700</strong> uses a 3 /8-inch ID suction line of lengths 3 to 99<br />
feet. <strong>Isco</strong> offers vinyl or Teflon ® suction lines. The Teflon ® tubing<br />
has a polyethylene jacket to protect it from kinks and abrasions.<br />
Guidelines for Measuring and Cutting the Suction Line<br />
Cut the line to the desired length but use the shortest length<br />
feasible for the installation.<br />
Cut the line in 1 foot increments. For instance, 4 feet, not<br />
3 1 /2. If using metric units of measure, cut the line in increments<br />
of 0.1 meter. Do not include the length of the strainer<br />
in the measurement.<br />
Attaching Suction Line to Pump Tube<br />
Attach the vinyl suction line to the pump tube with the tube coupling.<br />
Use the black clamp for the pump tube and the white<br />
clamp for the suction line. Attach the line and tube to the coupling<br />
by pushing them onto each end of the coupling. Then<br />
tighten the clamps by squeezing the finger pads together. Loosen<br />
a clamp by twisting it until its teeth disengage.<br />
Attach the Teflon ® suction line to the pump tube by inserting the<br />
line into the tube and secure with a suitable clamp.<br />
