CONNECTING EXTERNAL INSTRUMENTS
Flow Meter Connector
Connect the sampler to Isco flow meters, flow loggers, PAL 1101s,
or 1640 Liquid Level Actuators by attaching their connect cable
to the Flow Meter Connector. When using the sampler with an
external instrument, remember these guidelines:
Both the sampler and the flow instrument must be on and
running a program.
Ifusingaflowmeterorflowloggerforflowpacing,thesampler
and the flow instrument must both run programs with
flow pacing settings.
Ifusingaflowmeterorflowloggerfortriggerpacing,thesampler
must run a program with flow pacing settings, and the flow
instrument must run a program with trigger pacing settings.
When the sampler runs an event-paced program, it disregards
pacing pulses from a flow meter or flow logger. However,
the sampler continues to monitor for enable signals.
(See Sampler Enable on page 87.)
Rain Gauge Connector
Connect the rain gauge, YSI Sonde, or Refrigerator Temperature
Sensor connect cables to the nine-pin Rain Gauge Connector.
(Samplers with a four-pin Rain Gauge Connector can only accept
a rain gauge.) When connecting a rain gauge and a YSI Sonde, or
rain gauge and a Refrigerator Temperature Sensor, use the
appropriate Y-connect cable. See the Accessories appendix at the
end of this manual.
Notes
Select Extended Programming to use the YSI sonde. (See
Changing to and from Extended and Standard Screens on
page 25.)
Update the Hardware Setup whenever you add or remove a
rain gauge, refrigerator temperature sensor, or YSI sonde.
(See Hardware Setup on page 93.)
In extended programming, rain gauge and YSI sonde readings
are only available if they are selected in the Hardware Setup.
However, when using standard programming, rain gauge readings
are automatically stored in the sampler’s memory.
LOCKING THE SAMPLER
Isco offers stainless steel cables to lock the sampler (standard
size – use P/N 68-6700-134; compact – use 68-6700-111). To lock
the sampler, place the hook through the center section latch.
Repeat this for the other two latches, and then pull the ends of
the cables together over the top of the sampler. Lock the loops
with the padlock. You can also lock each latch individually, using
three padlocks, one for each of the latches.
