<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 />
