SAMPLER ENABLE<br />

<strong>Isco</strong> flow meters, flow loggers, and PAL 1101s have a programmable<br />

sampler-enable feature that lets them enable (start) or<br />

disable (stop) a program according to certain monitored conditions.<br />

For example these conditions can be level, flow rate, pH,<br />

temperature, percent, rainfall, I/O; or a combination of two conditions.<br />

These flow instruments enable or disable a sampler by sending a<br />

signal to pin F of the sampler’s flow meter connector. The instrument<br />

can enable or disable the sampler:<br />

At a specific time and date.<br />

When the pH, temperature, level, velocity, or flow rate passes<br />

asetpoint.<br />

When the reading is within a certain range or outside a certain<br />

range.<br />

When the rainfall rate exceeds a set point.<br />

The Model 1640 Liquid Level Actuator can also be used, as well<br />

as any other instrument that can ground the input to pin F.<br />

Grounding the input disables the sampler.<br />

A sampler running either a standard or extended program can<br />

rely on external input for enable or disable controls.<br />

The sampler’s extended programming screens let you program the<br />

sampler similar to the way devices controlling pin F are programmed.<br />

Input from a rain gauge, YSI Sonde, programmable I/O<br />

pin, or a 700 Series module may be used when programming<br />

enable conditions. Any combination of up to two conditions can be<br />

programmed.<br />

Check Enable Interval<br />

If programming the sampler to use a 700 Series module or YSI<br />

Sonde parameter for enabling, the sampler will request a Check<br />

Enable interval. The Check Enable interval allows the sampler<br />

to compare the parameter to the enabling conditions at a rate<br />

faster than the Data Storage interval. If the Check Enable interval<br />

is equal to or greater than the Data Storage interval, the<br />

parameter will be checked at the rate of Data Storage interval.<br />

Normally there are two considerations when selecting the Check<br />

Enable interval: power consumption and duration of the enabling<br />

event. This setting for battery powered samplers will require<br />

some degree of balance between the need to conserve power yet<br />

detect the enabling event before it has passed.
