<strong>Glacier</strong> <strong>Transportable</strong> <strong>Sampler</strong><br />
Section 5 Maintenance<br />
5. Heat the bag at a temperature of 240 to 250° F (116 to<br />
121° C) for 12 to 16 hours.<br />
6. At the end of the time period, the bag should be immediately<br />
removed and placed in an airtight container for cooling.<br />
7. When the bag has cooled to room temperature, it may be<br />
returned to the <strong>Glacier</strong> controller.<br />
The desiccant will be recharged to approximately 80 to 90% of its<br />
previous capacity. After repeated renewing, the desiccant bag<br />
may require replacement.<br />
Note<br />
Some bags will have the temperature and time for renewing<br />
the desiccant printed on the bag. If they differ, use the temperature<br />
and time printed on the bag.<br />

Self-diagnostics<br />
If you are experiencing problems with the <strong>Glacier</strong>, contact<br />
Teledyne <strong>Isco</strong>’s Repair Service Department. Simple difficulties<br />
can often be diagnosed over the telephone. Before contacting<br />
Teledyne <strong>Isco</strong> however, take a few moments to ensure that<br />
several common problems are first eliminated.<br />
• Ensure that the power supply is adequate. Low power<br />
can cause a variety of problems. Simply replacing the<br />
battery with a freshly charged unit can correct many<br />
faults.<br />
• Ensure that the liquid delivery system is in good<br />
condition. The tubing should be free from leaks caused<br />
by pinholes or cracks. Ensure that the tubing is not<br />
plugged by debris.<br />
• Clear debris away from the end of the strainer and<br />
ensure that it is submerged deep enough to supply<br />
liquid for the entire fill portion of the sampling cycle.<br />
If the cause of the problem cannot be determined, the <strong>Glacier</strong><br />
self-diagnostics routine can be used to test the sampler’s functions.<br />
To run the basic level diagnostics:<br />
1. Press 3424 at the Standby display. The <strong>Glacier</strong> enters the<br />
diagnostics mode.<br />
2. The <strong>Glacier</strong> tests the RAM (Random Access Memory). The<br />
<strong>Glacier</strong> displays the RAM test results for four seconds then<br />
advances to the next test. If the <strong>Glacier</strong> reports “RAM<br />
TEST FAILED” contact Teledyne <strong>Isco</strong>. RAM stores program<br />
settings, log data, internal counters, pump tables, etc.<br />
3. The <strong>Glacier</strong> tests the ROM (Read Only Memory). The <strong>Glacier</strong><br />
displays the ROM test results for four seconds and<br />
then advances to the next test. If the <strong>Glacier</strong> reports “ROM<br />
TEST FAILED” contact Teledyne <strong>Isco</strong>. ROM stores the<br />
embedded software.<br />
