<strong>6700</strong> SAMPLERS<br />
SERVICING THE SAMPLER<br />
Servicing the sampler includes:<br />
Recovering the sampler from the monitoring site;<br />
Collecting the filled sample bottles and replacing them with<br />
clean bottles;<br />
Replacing a battery, if required;<br />
Collecting the data recorded by the sampler during the program.<br />
(See Sampling Reports on page 59.)<br />
<strong>Sampler</strong>s are usually serviced after they complete a sampling<br />
program. When working up a service schedule, you will need to<br />
estimate the program completion time. You should also be familiar<br />
with the program’s settings for the start time or if the sampler<br />
is programmed for continuous sampling.<br />
Continuous sampling is controlled by the distribution setting<br />
entered at the “RUN CONTINUOUSLY?” screen. A “YES”<br />
response directs the sampler to reset the distribution sequence<br />
and continue the countdown to the next sample event. Appropriate<br />
service intervals will prevent overfilled bottles.<br />
RECOVERING THE SAMPLER<br />
When recovering the sampler, keep it level to prevent spilling the<br />
collected samples.<br />
If the battery’s charge is questionable, replace it with a fullycharged<br />
battery.<br />
The <strong>6700</strong> has a “fuel gauge” that gives an indication of power<br />
usage. The controller keeps track of how much power has been<br />
consumed since the last time it lost power. The current power<br />
consumption, as well as the previous power consumption, can be<br />
accessed by pressing the STOP key while in the main menu.<br />
Keep in mind that the sampler has no idea as to how much<br />
charge was originally stored in the battery (or even if a battery is<br />
being used), and therefore has no idea as to the remaining capacity<br />
of its power source.<br />
COLLECTING SAMPLE BOTTLES<br />
If you return the entire sampler back to the office, place caps on<br />
the bottles and drain any water from the carrier or tub. If you<br />
leave the sampler at the site and only need to collect the bottles,<br />
follow these guidelines for bottle collection.<br />
Compact <strong>Sampler</strong> Bottle Collection<br />
1. Open the latches, and lift the center section from the tub. Place<br />
caps on the bottles.<br />
2. Remove the bottles by lifting the bottle carrier from the tub.<br />
Attach a label to the carrier detailing the location, date, etc.<br />
3. Pour any ice water out of the tub.<br />
4. Slide a new bottle carrier filled with clean bottles into the tub.<br />
5. Pour more ice in the carrier or tub.<br />
