S ec tion 1 Introduc tion
The 6712 Series Samplers are an integral part of Teledyne Iscos comprehensive sampling system. The system includes the 6712 Compact Sampler, the 6712 Standard Sampler and the 6712FR and 6712SR Refrigerated Samplers. The 6712 portable samplers are easily moved from site to site. Constructed from durable, corrosion-resistant materials, the samplers withstand the hostile environments of industrial and municipal monitoring sites. The 6712 Compact differs from the 6712 Standard Sampler only in size and sampling capacity. Both samplers use the same controller and sample-delivery system. Both instruments accept a variety of composite and multiple bottle kits. Because the 6712 Compact and Standard Samplers share many features, this manual includes programming, operation, and maintenance information for both instruments. Except where specifically noted, the contents of this manual apply to both units. This manual contains the information you will need to install, program, operate, and maintain a 6712 portable sampler. There are seven sections and five appendices: Section 1, Introduction lists the features and specifications of the 6712 portable samplers. Section 2, Installation/Preparation steps you through installing the sampler and preparing it for use. Section 3, Getting Started describes features that are common to both standard and extended programming modes. Section 4, Standard Programming shows how to program your sampler using standard programming mode. Section 5, Extended Programming shows how to program your sampler using extended programming mode. Section 6, SDI-12 Sondes provides information on setting up sondes to work with the 6712. Section 7, Remote Operation explains how the 6712 controller can be operated remotely from external devices. Section 8, Maintenance covers the basic maintenance required to keep your sampler in top operating condition.

1.2 About 700 Series Modules
The bay on the controllers side accepts any of Teledyne Iscos 700 Series Modules. The 700 Series includes: 701 pH Parameter Module for monitoring pH and temperature. 710 Ultrasonic Module for monitoring a flow streams level and flow rate with an ultrasonic level sensor. 720 Submerged Probe Module for monitoring a flow streams level and flow rate with a submerged probe. 730 Bubbler Flow Module for monitoring a flow streams level and flow rate with a bubbler system. 750 Area Velocity Module for monitoring a flow streams level, velocity, and flow rate. 780 4-20mA Input Module for interfacing to non-Teledyne Isco devices with 4 to 20 milliampere output signals. The modules are optional accessories. The samplers do not require them for operation. However, the modules offer a number of advantages: they are an economical way to combine flow-rate or parameter monitoring with sampling, and you can program the samplers and modules as a single unit. Finally, the samplers store the readings in memory.
1.3 SDI-12 Sondes
As an option, the sampler accepts up to 16 parameters from up to ten sensors with SDI-12 addresses from 0 - 9 (refer to SDI-12 Sonde Readings, page 1-11, for specific parameters). The data parameters used by the sensing device (sonde) and recording device (sampler) must match. Certain vendors sondes have enhanced commands that facilitate plug and play setup. These Teledyne Isco Ready sondes can tell the 6712 what values they have, their order, and units of measure. Other sondes can be used, but require manual setup to identify proper data types for each data value reported.
1.4 Memory to Store Monitoring Data
The samplers contain enough memory to store five sampling programs, sampling data, Teledyne Isco 700 Series Module readings, and SDI-12 parameter readings. You can view the readings on your samplers display. You can also retrieve the readings and reports so the information can be processed on a personal computer. Readings and reports may be collected with a computer running Teledyne Iscos Flowlink software. Flowlink can download the information through a direct connection, a modem connection (when the
1-2
6712 Portable Sampler Section 1 Introduction sampler is equipped with the optional 4200T dial-out modem or connected to the optional digital cellular modem), or from a 581 Rapid Transfer Device (RTD). The RTD is a quick and simple way to transfer the data from the field to your computer. Reports are easily collected with Teledyne Iscos Samplink software.
1.5 Pump Requirements
The samplers peristaltic pump is extremely powerful. This pump requires a high capacity power source such as Teledyne Iscos model 913 or 923 power pack. Older model power packs do not provide the needed power. A list of recommended power packs and batteries can be found in Installing a Power Source on page 2-9. The pump also requires a pump tube made specifically for the 6712 and 6700 Series samplers. These pump tubes are easily recognized by their blue alignment collars. The 6712 pump tubing is the same as that for Teledyne Iscos 6700 Series samplers, but different from Teledyne Iscos earlier model samplers, such as the 3700 Series. Other types of pump tubing will not work in the 6712. Refer to Replacing the Pump Tube on page 8-8.
CAUTION
This sampler has a high performance pump. As with all such pumps, it relies upon liquid to cool working components. If the sampler is programmed to pump in the absence of liquid in excess of 5 minutes, excessive heat buildup may damage the paddles, rollers, and housing. Ensure that the liquid inlet is completely immersed.

Units of Measure External Sampler Enable A variety of metric and English units of measure for length, flow rate, flow volume, and temperature. Teledyne Isco flow meters and flow loggers have a programmable sampler enable feature that lets them send an electronic signal to a 6712 that enables (starts) or disables (stops) a running sampling program. Dual Sampler Mode operates two samplers. Operate sampler functions using RS-232 communications. Pump Tube Warning. The 6712 displays a warning to inspect the tube. Internal Battery Warning. From the Maintenance screen, the 6712 displays a warning when it is time to replace the internal battery. The internal battery preserves stored data when the 6712 is without external power. The 6712 controller can be ordered with a factory-installed 2400 baud dialout modem. With the modem you can: connect to the sampler and download data using Flowlink software. program the sampler to call a contact list when an alarm condition exists. use the Remote Commands to control the samplers operation from a remote location. When programming the sampler, press the [?] (Help) key for a brief help note. All help topics appear in the index. Standard programming lets you set up typical sampling programs quickly. Extended programming includes all features available in standard programming plus additional features.

Sample Delivery System Features

Peristaltic Pump Benefits: Liquid moves continuously under pumped flow. The pump has no metering chambers or gravity fed internal tubing to trap sediment or residual liquid. Sample liquid contacts only the strainer, suction line, tube coupling, pump tube, bulkhead fitting, and sample bottles. Non wetted Detection: Sample liquid never touches the detector. The sampling cycle always includes a pre-sample purge and post-sample purge that clears the suction line of residual liquid. Simply disconnect the pump tube from the bulkhead fitting on the center section, and place the pump tube over your sample container.

S ec tion 2 Ins tallation/Preparation
2.1 Preparing the Sampler
When sampling with a single bottle, the composite tube guide is installed and the discharge tube is threaded through the guide. When sampling with multiple bottles, both the compact and standard 6712 Samplers use a distributor arm. It is adjustable so that you can position the discharge tube over the bottles of each kit. Each bottle kit also uses a discharge tube of a specific length. Table 2-1 lists the correct discharge tube lengths for each bottle kit. After installing the distributor arm and discharge tube, run the distributor to each bottle position to ensure proper installation. If using bulk tubing to cut your own tubes, cut the ends of the tube square, not at an angle, and cut the length accurately.
2.2 Installing the Distributor Arm and Discharge Tube
The two-piece distributor arm has four positions, marked on the underside with the letters A, B, C, and D. Adjust the arm to the correct position for the bottle kit being used. Table 2-1 shows the correct position for each kit. Thread the discharge tube through the spring and arm so that the tube protrudes from the arm 1/16 to 1/8 inch. If too much tube protrudes from the arm it can catch on bottles and jam the distributor arm. Attach the arm to the distributor shaft. Secure the arm with the black plastic nut. Slide the free end of the discharge tube onto the bulkhead fitting.

2.3 Installing Bottle Kits for Multiplex Sampling
The samplers are shipped from the factory with sample bottles in place. When using the sampler for the first time, you will only need to remove the bottle lids. When installing cleaned bottles or a new kit, keep these guidelines in mind: Never mix glass and plastic bottles together. Install all bottles to insure that they remain in place. Align the bottles correctly. If the bottles are misaligned, the sampler may miss the bottle mouth, or the sampler will deposit samples in the wrong bottle.
2-3
6712 Portable Sampler Section 2 Installation/Preparation Each time you change from one size bottle to another, you must adjust the length of the distributor arm and install a discharge tube of the correct length. Each time you install a bottle kit, check the program settings for the number of bottles and bottle volume. You must adjust the distributor arm and use a different discharge tube for each bottle kit. See Installing Distributor Arm and Discharge Tube, and Table 2-1 for more information. 2.3.1 Aligning Bottle Kits in the Standard Tub Figures 2-2 through 2-5 show each kit being installed in the standard tub. Refer to Table 2-1 to adjust the distributor arm to the correct length and use the correct length of discharge tube.
1. Install the bottles then secure the plastic retaining ring with the three draw cords. (For glass bottles use the stainless steel retaining ring). 2. Adjust the distributor arm to the correct position, insert the discharge tube, and attach the distributor arm.

Place the bottles in the carrier, and secure them with the appropriate retaining ring. 2. Place the carrier in the tub, aligning it as shown in Figure 2-6. The carrier will drop into the notches when properly aligned.
2.4 Installing Bottle Kits for Composite Sampling
You can install a single 21/2 gallon bottle in either the standard or compact sampler tub for composite sampling. Single bottle sampling uses a composite tube guide instead of a distributor arm to position the discharge tube over the bottle. Install the composite tube guide and discharge tube as shown in Figure 2-7. Discharge tube part numbers and lengths are listed in Table 2-2. The compact and standard sampler bottle bases accept a 2 1/2 gallon glass or plastic bottle. Place the bottle in the recess formed in the bottle base.
2.4.1 Optional Jumbo Bottle Base
You can install an optional bottle base on the standard sampler to collect larger composite volumes. The optional base replaces the standard tub and holds a 4 gallon (15 liter) polyethylene bottle, 5 gallon (19 liter) glass bottle or 5.5 gallon (20.8 liter) polyethylene bottle. Prepare the sampler as shown in Table 2-2 and Figure 2-7, and place the bottle in the recess formed in the bottle base.
Step 1
Both the compact and standard samplers use the same composite tube guide to hold the discharge tube in place over the composite bottle. Attach the composite tube guide by firmly sliding it onto the distributor-shaft housing. It will snap in place. The guide has a slot that fits over a key on the housing to align it.
Step 2
Thread the discharge tube through the guide as shown. Attach the tube to the bulkhead fitting.
Removal
To remove the composite tube guide, rotate the metal clip to one side while pulling the guide away from the center section.

2.5 Installing a Power Source
The 6712 Sampler requires 12-volt DC power. Power sources available from Teledyne Isco are listed below. 946 Lead Acid Battery 934 Nickel Cadmium Battery 913 High Capacity Power Pack (120 volts AC, 50/60 Hz) 923 High Capacity Power Pack (240 volts AC, 50/60 Hz) 914 Battery Backed Power Pack (120 volts AC, 50/60 Hz) 924 Battery Backed Power Pack (240 volts AC, 50/60 Hz) (the 924 is not certified for use in Europe) 948 45 Amp Hr Battery
Power Source Connector Icon Connect the power source to the sampler connector that is labeled with this icon.
To install the smaller batteries or power packs on the sampler: 1. Place the power source in the samplers battery recess. 2. Secure the power source with the black rubber draw-catches. 3. Attach the power-source cable to the power-source connector on the controller.
CAUTION
Use only Teledyne Isco-made power packs. If using a power pack with the 6712, Teledyne Isco recommends you use the new 913 or 923 power pack. Older model power packs may not provide sufficient power. Refer to the Teledyne Isco Power Products Guide shipped with your sampler for more information on Teledyne Iscos power sources. If you use a 120 or 240 volt AC-connected power pack, the AC line cord is the "Disconnect Device." Always install the sampler with the line cord and plug visible and readily accessible, so that power can be disconnected easily. 2.5.1 Connecting an External 12-Volt DC Source You can also power the sampler with an external 12-volt DC source, such as an automotive battery. Connect the sampler to the battery with the External 12-Volt DC Power Cable.
CAUTION
Be sure to attach the positive and negative clips to the correct battery terminals. If polarity is reversed, the sampler may be permanently damaged.
2-9
2.6 Suction Line
The suction line is the tubing from the sampling point to the pump intake. The 6712 uses a 3/8-inch ID suction line of lengths 3 to 99 feet. Teledyne Isco offers vinyl or PTFE suction lines. The PTFE tubing has a polyethylene jacket to protect it from kinks and abrasions. Guidelines for Measuring and Cutting the Suction Line: Cut the line to the desired length but use the shortest length feasible for the installation. Cut the line in 1 foot increments. For instance, 4 feet, not 31/2. If using metric units of measure, cut the line in increments of 0.1 meter. Do not include the length of the strainer in the measurement. The vinyl line contains a very low parts-per-million level of phenols. If phenol content affects your sample analysis, use the PTFE suction line. When installing the sampler, be sure the vertical distance between the liquid level and the pump is as small as possible.
2.6.1 Attaching Suction Line to Pump Tube
Attach the vinyl suction line to the pump tube with the 3/8-inch tubing coupler. First, screw the threaded end into the suction line u n t i l t h e f l a t s u r f a ce i s f l u s h a g a i n s t t h e s u c t i o n l i n e (Figure 2-9). Then, push the other end of the coupler into the end of the pump tube until the other flat surface is flush against the tubing.

Figure 2-9 Attaching the suction line to the pump tubing
2-10
6712 Portable Sampler Section 2 Installation/Preparation Once the coupler is attached to the pump tube, removal is difficult, and may require cutting the tube.
2.7 Strainers
Teledyne Isco offers three styles of strainer that help prevent solids from clogging the suction line: 3/8-inch standard weighted polypropylene strainer for routine and priority pollutant sampling 3/8-inch stainless steel low flow strainer 3/8-inch CPVC-coated strainer for acidic liquid sources To select the right strainer for your application, see Table 2-3. To install the optional stainless strainer in PTFE suction line, heat the end of the suction line to make it more pliable, then carefully screw the strainers threaded connector into the suction line.
2.7.1 Alternative to Strainers
When sampling from high velocity streams with heavy suspended solids, some field investigations suggest that more representative samples are obtained without the strainer. Consider attaching a short piece of thin walled aluminum tubing to the end of the suction line; anchor the tubing so that the inlet opens upstream. The aluminum tubings thin wall will not disturb the flow stream, and most sample analyses disregard aluminum ions. Under most conditions, the pre-sample purge removes any debris over the tubing entrance.

All strainer dimensions are in inches. PTFE suction line is compatible only with the 3/8 stainless steel strainer.
2-11
2.8 How Does the Sampler Work?
When the sampler takes a sample, it draws liquid through the strainer and suction line to the pump tube. The liquid flows through the pump tube and past the liquid detector, which senses the liquid. From the detector, the liquid follows the pump tube through the pump to the bulkhead fitting and then through the discharge tube to the sample bottle. 1. The sampler moves the distributor arm over the bottle that is to receive the sample. 2. The pump reverses for the pre-sample purge. 3. The pump direction changes, filling the suction line. 4. When the detector senses liquid, the sampler begins measuring the sample. 5. After depositing the sample, the pump again reverses for the post-sample purge. Sampling cycles vary somewhat according to program settings for distribution. The sampler can move the distributor arm clockwise and counterclockwise, making a number of distribution methods possible. (In this manual, the words sample event refer to a full sampling cycle for any distribution.) Other variations include extended-program settings for suction-line rinses and sampling retries. A sampler running a program with line rinses completes the pre-sample purge and then rinses the line. The suction line is purged after each rinse. When programmed for sampling retries, the sampler will attempt to pump a sample again if it fails on previous attempts.

6712 Portable Sampler Section 2 Installation/Preparation 2.8.2 Measuring Sample Volume Sample volume refers to the amount of liquid delivered into a bottle. The volume is determined by the programmed value. The volume is dependent on the volume per revolution of the pump, which is dependent on the suction head. The 6712 delivers the sample by counting the pump revolutions and automatically compensating for the suction head. The following paragraphs briefly describe initial sampler installation.
2.9 Installing the Sampler
CAUTION
Tests indicate that the pump produces sound levels in excess of 85db at one meter. Prolonged exposure to this sound could result in hearing loss and requires the use of protective ear plugs. 2.9.1 Icing the Samples Ice is placed in the center of the bottle kit or around the composite bottle. The ice capacity varies according to the bottle kit. To increase cooling for the multiple-bottle kits use an ice-water bath. Place as much ice as possible in the center of the bottle kit and slowly add cold water. Continually add ice, as the water will melt some ice. Always use the retaining rings or hold downs. They hold the bottles in position and keep the bottles from floating. 2.9.2 Tips for Routing Suction Line Route the line so that it runs continuously downhill from the sampler to the liquid source. This helps drain the line during pre-sample and post-sample purges. When the sampler is used in below freezing temperatures, there is a risk of the suction line being frozen. A suitably warm sampling source can usually prevent this, provided there are no loops in the suction line. Some situations may require more protective measures, such as insulation of the suction line, or heat tape. Thoroughly draining the suction line minimizes the possibility of frozen liquid clogging the line. For representative samples, place the intake in the main current of the flow stream, not in an eddy or at the edge of flow. Placing an intake at the bottom may produce samples with excess heavy solids and no floating materials, while placement at the top may produce the opposite conditions. Place the sampler on a relatively flat, horizontal surface. Placing the sampler on a steep incline may cause the sample to miss the bottle mouth. When installing the sampler, be sure the vertical distance between the level of the liquid and the pump is as small as possible.

CAUTION
When using the 6712 sampler with a 750 or 710 module, transmitters such as cell phones or walkie talkies must not be operated within 3 meters of the sampler. If water level readings are fluctuating due to TV/radio station transmitter towers in the area, the sampler must be relocated.
WARNING
The 6712 samplers have not been approved for use in hazardous locations as defined by the National Electrical Code.
WARNING
If you must enter a manhole or other dangerous location to install the sampler, observe standard safety precautions. Refer to Appendix C for a discussion of safety considerations. 2.9.5 Using the Suspension Harness or ProHanger Teledyne Isco has a stainless steel suspension harness to lower or raise the sampler through a manhole or suspend the sampler during operation. You can suspend the harness from any suitable support. Prohanger is an X-shaped bracket that fits inside the lip of a manhole and lets you suspend the sampler using a cable harness. The 6712 sampler can be used in conjunction with several types of external instruments. To connect the sampler to a Teledyne Isco open-channel flow meter, 4100 series flow logger, 2100 series flow module, or 1640 Liquid Level Actuator, attach the sampler-to-flow meter cable to the Flow Meter Connector. To connect the sampler to a closed-pipe flow meter, attach a Teledyne Isco 4-20 mA Input Interface device to the samplers 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. If using a flow meter, logger, or module for flow pacing, the sampler and the flow instrument must both run programs with flow pacing settings. If using a flow meter or flow logger for trigger pacing, the sampler 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.

2.11 Locking the Sampler
Teledyne 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.
2.12 Servicing the Sampler
Servicing the sampler includes: Recovering the sampler from the monitoring site Collecting the filled sample bottles and replacing them with clean bottles Replacing a battery, if required Collecting the data recorded by the sampler during the program.
2-16
6712 Portable Sampler Section 2 Installation/Preparation Samplers are usually serviced after they complete a sampling program. When working up a service schedule, you will need to estimate the program completion time. You should also be familiar with the programs settings for the start time or if the sampler is programmed for continuous sampling. Continuous sampling is controlled by the distribution setting entered at the RUN CONTINUOUSLY? screen. A YES response directs the sampler to reset the distribution sequence and continue the countdown to the next sample event. Appropriate service intervals will prevent overfilled bottles.
2.13 Recovering the Sampler
When recovering the sampler, keep it level to prevent spilling the collected samples. If the batterys charge is questionable, replace it with a fully-charged battery. The 6712 has a fuel gauge that gives an indication of power usage. The controller keeps track of how much power has been consumed since the last time it lost power. The current power consumption, as well as the previous power consumption, can be accessed by pressing the STOP key while in the main menu. Keep in mind that the sampler has no idea as to how much charge was originally stored in the battery (or even if a battery is being used), and therefore has no idea as to the remaining capacity of its power source.
2.14 Collecting Sample Bottles
If you return the entire sampler back to the office, place caps on the bottles and drain any water from the carrier or tub. If you leave the sampler at the site and only need to collect the bottles, follow these guidelines for bottle collection. To collect the bottles from a compact sampler: 1. Open the latches, and lift the center section from the tub. Place caps on the bottles. 2. Remove the bottles by lifting the bottle carrier from the tub. Attach a label to the carrier detailing the location, date, etc.

S ec tion 3 Programming Introduc tion
Before programming the 6712, you should become familiar with its keys and how to use the screens. The 6712 Sampler has two sets of programming modes. The first mode, Standard Programming, lets you set up typical sampling programs easily and efficiently. The second mode, Extended Programming, lets you create sophisticated programs for complex sampling applications. All of the sampling features available in standard programming mode are available in extended programming mode. However, extended programming provides many additional features. Standard and extended programming features are explained in separate sections. This section focuses on some basic features that are common to both programming modes, such as using the menus and setting the clock.
CAUTION
This sampler has a high performance pump. As with all such pumps, it relies upon liquid to cool working components. If the sampler is programmed to pump in the absence of liquid in excess of 5 minutes, excessive heat buildup may damage the paddles, rollers, and housing. Ensure that the liquid inlet is completely immersed.
3.1 Initial Operation

3.5 Menu Screens: Site Descriptions and Program Names
The sampler has two text-entry menus, one for site description and another for an extended-program name. They work in the same way. A site description is commonly a number, address, or other short note that helps identify the monitoring site. Extended programming has a similar screen that lets you enter program names for stored programs. The example on the next page shows how to change the site description from FACTORY01 to SITE 29. Line 1 contains text between two quotation marks. Lines 2 and 3 contain the menu options numbers, letters, and punctuation marks used to spell out the description. In line 3, the space between the ampersand (&) and the double quotes (") is a space character. Line 4 contains two additional options: BACK-UP, an option that moves the cursor on the text line to the left one character. DONE, an option that tells the sampler to save the text. The cursor is the blinking rectangle that identifies the current field. When the screen first appears, the cursor blinks on the first character of the text in line 1. The matching character in line 2 or 3 also blinks. When you press , the cursor on line 1 moves to the right one position, and, at the same time, the sampler blinks on the matching character on lines 2 or 3.

3.6 Messages
The sampler has four sets of messages that supplement the programming screens. Information messages tell you about programming status. Help Notes are brief comments associated with programming screens describing the setting or offering assistance. Warning messages tell you something is different tha Teledyne Iscos standard. Operation messages report the samplers status as it runs a program. These are brief messages about the programming status, such as ROM PASSED TEST or the status message that displays when you first start up the sampler. Information messages are displayed for four seconds, unless they are terminated by pressing any key on the keypad. To see a Help note: 1. Press the ? (Help) key. 2. When the note requires several screens, the word more appears in the lower-right corner. Press for the next note. 3. Move back and forth between screens by pressing the arrow keys. 4. Press Stop at any time to return to the programming screen. Most help notes refer to a related section in this manual.

4.4 Pacing
Standard Time Pacing and Flow Pacing Screens for Samplers without Flow Modules
Sample pacing is the rate at which the sampler takes samples. Depending on the type of pacing you select, the rate is controlled by the samplers internal clock or by inputs received from connected instruments. Standard programming provides time pacing and flow pacing (refer to Step 7 in the previous two programming examples). In time-paced sampling, the interval between samples is a constant time interval. When you program the sampler for time pacing, the sampler prompts you to enter the time between sample events in hours and minutes. Time paced programs always take a sample at the start time. Flow paced sampling requires a flow meter, flow logger, or a module. A flow meter or flow logger paces a sampler by sending an electronic signal to the sampler after measuring a specified volume of liquid. Because each pulse represents a volume interval, flow pacing rates are proportional to the volume of water flowing through the channel. When you program the sampler for flow pacing and are using a flow meter or flow logger, the sampler prompts you to enter the interval between sample events in pulses. The sampler initiates a sample event when the set number of pulses is received. Programs that are flow paced do not take a sample at the start time. After setting the program start time, you will be prompted to enter a maximum run time of zero to 999 hours. If you would like the program to run indefinitely, enter 0 (zero) for maximum run time.
When programming, you will be asked to select time or flow paced sampling. Depending upon your choice, you will see one of the following screens:
TIME BETWEEN SAMPLE EVENTS: __ HOURS, __ MINUTES
FLOW BETWEEN SAMPLE EVENTS: ____ PULSES (1-9999)
Flow Pacing Screen for Samplers with Flow Modules

FLOW BETWEEN SAMPLE EVENTS: ____ Mgal (0.001 -99999)
The flow pacing screens change when you attach a flow module (see example to the left). Because the sampler is more closely integrated with the modules, the standard flow pacing screen prompts you for the flow volume between sample events instead of pulses between events. The flow volume units displayed are what you had previously programmed. Teledyne Isco 4200 Series Flow Meters and 4100 Series Flow Loggers send pulses for trigger pacing. The flow meter or flow logger sends pulses at two different time intervals when trigger pacing a sampler. Trigger pacing, for example, lets you sample less frequently when the trigger condition a condition based on level, flow, or rainfall remains below a set point. The intervals are determined by the flow instruments program settings for trigger pacing. When conditions change and readings pass the set point, triggering the new rate, you can sample more frequently. Or, when the trigger condition is a clock setting, the instrument changes the pacing interval according to the time of day. Using a clock trigger condition, for instance, the flow meter or flow logger can pace the sampler slowly at night and more frequently during the day. (For more information about trigger pacing, see your flow meter or FLOWLINK manual.)
4.4.1 Trigger Pacing
4-5
6712 Portable Sampler Section 4 Standard Programming The flow meter or flow logger sends the same pulse for both flow and trigger pacing, and the sampler cannot distinguish between them. Therefore, to program a sampler for trigger pacing, simply program it for flow pacing.
4.5 Distribution
Distribution describes how the sampler is to deposit samples. A sample is the volume of liquid deposited in a bottle. A sample event includes the full sampling cycle and may deposit a sample into more than one bottle. In standard programming, you can program the sampler for these different distribution methods: Sequential Bottles Per Sample Samples Per Bottle Composite
4.5.1 Sequential
In sequential distribution, the sampler deposits one sample in each bottle. A sequential sample represents a snapshot of the flow stream at a point in time. In bottles per sample distribution, the sampler deposits a sample in each of a set of bottles. A bottle set includes at least two bottles but may include all bottles. Use bottles per sample when the volume to be collected is larger than the amount one bottle can hold or when you need identical samples. In samples per bottle distribution, the sampler deposits samples from several sample events in a single bottle before moving to the next bottle. Use samples per bottle distribution to collect a series of small composite samples. For single bottle configurations, samples per bottle distribution is known as composite sampling. A composite sample represents an average of the flow streams characteristics during the sampling period. Sample programs can be run indefinitely by selecting YES at the RUN CONTINUOUSLY? screen. Continuous sampling resets the distribution when the distribution sequence is complete. That is, when the last bottle/set is reached, the next bottle/set is the first bottle/set. All pacing modes except RANDOM are supported. When running a program continuously, the bottles must be serviced at regular intervals to prevent overfilling the bottles. The sampler assumes that the next bottle/set is empty and ready to receive samples. The figure on the next page steps through the programming screens for sequential, bottles per sample, and samples per bottle distribution.

4.6 Start Times
It is important to understand the difference between the time at which you run a program and the programs start time. Running a program simply means selecting RUN from the samplers main menu. The start time is the time at which the sampler begins the programs first sample interval countdown. The start time is controlled by your selections from the start time screens. Each program contains start-time settings that tell the sampler when to begin the program. When programming the sampler, you can select one of four start time options: NO DELAY TO START, DELAYED START, CLOCK TIME, or WAIT FOR PHONE CALL. Select NO DELAY TO START when you want the sampler to start as soon as you select RUN. Select DELAYED START when you want the sampler to delay from 1 to 999 minutes before starting the program. Select CLOCK TIME when you want the sampler to begin the program at a specific time on at least one day of the week. Select WAIT FOR PHONE CALL when you want the sampler to begin the program after receiving a remote command to start (optional modem required).
4.6.1 How Do Start Times Work?
As soon as you select RUN from the main menu, the sampler checks the programs start time settings. With a DELAYED START setting, the sampler starts a countdown to the start time. The period between the time you select RUN and the start time youve specified in the program is called the delay to start time. When you run a program with CLOCK TIME settings, the sampler also starts a countdown to start time until the day of week and clock times are met. The sampler may not collect a sample at the start time. The sampler must be enabled, and the pacing selected must call for a sample at start. In any event, the sampler checks the pacing settings and begins the pacing-interval countdown.

4.6.2 Sampler Enable/Disable
Teledyne Isco flow meters and flow loggers have a programmable sampler-enable feature that lets them enable (start) or disable (stop) a program according to certain monitored conditions. For example these conditions can be level, flow rate, pH, temperature, percent, rainfall, I/O; or a combination of two conditions. The 1640 Liquid Level Actuator can also be used, as well as any other instrument that can ground the input to pin F. Grounding the input disables the sampler. The sampler disregards disable signals during the delay to start time. However, when the sampler detects a disable signal at the start time, it suspends the program until it is enabled. The diagram in Figure 4-2 shows the samplers responses.
4-9
Sampler enabled at start time A sample event at the start time occurs for time-paced programs.

Figure 4-2 Start Time Diagram
4.7 Running Programs
To run a program, select RUN from the main menu. You may also select YES at the RUN THIS PROGRAM NOW? screen at the end of the programming screens. While running a sampling program the sampler displays a variety of messages that report the programs status. For example, if the sampler has not yet reached the programmed start time, it displays the scheduled start time as well as the current time. Once the program reaches the start time, you can determine the time of the next sample, the next bottle to receive a sample, sample distribution, and other information. Other messages appear while the sampler runs through a sampling cycle and takes a sample. When the sampler needs to report multiple messages, it alternates them, displaying each for one to three seconds.

If an entire reading is filled with asterisks, the value exceeds the number of characters that can be displayed. The sampler stores the actual reading in memory, so it may be collected later. For those programs that have delayed or scheduled start times, the readings will be displayed while waiting for the start time. Keep in mind that any totalizer values will be reset at the start time. Module and sonde readings are also displayed after a program is complete, until a key is pressed. It is not necessary to run a program to view module or sonde readings. Real time data can be viewed on the display by selecting VIEW REPORT from the main menu.
4.8 Interrupting a Running Program
You can interrupt a sampling program by pressing the Stop key while the sampler is waiting for the next sample event. Pressing Stop places the sampler into Manual Paused operation and records a manual pause in the sample event log. In this state, the sampler allows you to access several functions. You can modify the program, reset alarms, take a grab sample, etc., without adversely affecting the running program. Modifying the program is limited to adjusting the pacing intervals, enable conditions and sample volume. The basic program structure, such as the type of pacing, can not be changed. While in the manual paused state, the sampling program continues to operate as normal, with the exception of taking samples. If a sample was to be taken, it is skipped. The sampler records sample skipped in the sample event log and continues to operate as normal. The manual paused state displays a scrolling menu with several options (see example below). Use the Arrow keys to scroll through the manual paused options and the key to make a selection. Return to the running program by selecting resume program or pressing the Stop key. If you do not make a selection, the sampler automatically resumes the original sampling program five minutes after the last key was pressed. STOP PROGRAM

A manual resume event will be logged. This option allows you to view the data recorded by the sampler. See Reports on page 4-19 for more information. When selected, you will be asked to enter the volume to be pumped. A sample will then be taken as if it is to be placed into a container outside the sampler base. Do this by removing the pump tubing from the bulkhead fitting. See Grab Samples on page 4-15. A grab sample event will be logged. If the pump tube is changed, this option should be selected to reset the pump counts on the counter. This will remove the WARNING: REPLACE PUMP TUBING message that may appear while the program is running. A pump tube replaced message is logged. See Replacing The Pump Tube in Section 7, Maintenance. When selected, you will be asked to enter the volume to be pumped. A sample will then be taken as if it is to be placed into a container outside the sampler base. Do this by removing the pump tubing from the bulkhead fitting. After the sample has been pumped, you will then be asked to enter the amount actually delivered. Once you have entered the delivered volume and accepted the calibration, a volume delivered event will be logged. 4.8.7 Cal/Adj Parameters When the sampler is configured for operation with a module, this option becomes available. Selecting this option will display the appropriate level adjustment screens and/or the calibration screens. If the level is adjusted, an adjusted level event is logged. If a parameter is calibrated, an appropriate event is logged. Calibrating a parameter probe will temporarily turn off the partition data storage and the sample enable/disable functions. These functions are disabled during the calibration and for five minutes after the program is resumed. During this time, parameter data normally collected at the data storage interval will be logged as a 252 error message. 4.8.8 Adjust Pacing This option is available when the running program is paced by Time, Flow Pulses or Flow Volume. If you select this option, you are asked to enter a new pacing interval. The sampler logs an interval changed event. The original pacing interval continues to count down until you return the sampler to the running program (select resume program). If the new pacing interval is less than the original count remaining, the new interval is used.

If you change a sample volume, a volume changed event is logged. The 6712 has a fuel gauge that gives an indication of power usage. The controller keeps track of how much power has been consumed since the last time it lost power. If the controller is powered by an external battery, this fuel gauge can help you estimate the condition of the battery. Keep in mind that the sampler has no idea as to how much charge was originally stored in the battery (or even if a battery is being used), and therefore has no idea as to the remaining capacity of its power source.

Grab samples let you take a single sample on demand, collecting the sample in an external container (Figure 4-4). Keep in mind: When the sampler delivers a grab sample, it runs through a complete sampling cycle, using the current settings for volume and for line rinses or retries. If it is a two-part program, the sampler uses the settings for part A. To take a grab sample while the sampler is running a program, you must interrupt the program by pressing the Stop key. Restart the program by running it again. To take a grab sample: 1. Disconnect the pump tube from the bulkhead fitting. 2. Place the end of the tube over a collection container. 3.

4.12 Calibrate Volume
The sampler delivers accurate sample volumes without calibration. If you find that sample volumes vary significantly from the programmed values, first check the suction line for proper installation. Be sure it slopes continuously downhill to the liquid source and drains completely after each sampling cycle. Then, compare the actual length of the suction line to the suction line length settings in the program to see that they match. Also check the pump tube for excessive wear and replace it if necessary. You may want to calibrate when: A new pump tube is installed. Run the pump for five minutes before calibrating. The sample source is above the sampler. Sampling from pressurized lines (15 PSI Maximum).
4.12.1 Calibration Tips
For the best results, calibrate the sampler after its installed on site. Use a graduated cylinder for volume measurement. The sampler clears the previous calibration setting when you reinitialize the sampler. You cannot calibrate while the sampler is running a program. When the sampler delivers the sample, it runs through a complete sampling cycle, using the current settings for volume line rinses and retries. If it is a two part program, the sampler uses the volume setting for part A. To calibrate: 1. Disconnect the pump tube from the bulkhead fitting. 2. Place the end of the tube over a collection container. 3. Follow the steps in Calibrating Sample Volumes in the margin. 4. Reconnect the pump tube to the bulkhead fitting.

The 6712 records a variety of data while running a sampling program. It uses the data to produce four reports: The Program Settings report, listing the program settings. The Sampling Results report, listing the program settings, time of samples and other program events. The Combined Results report, combining the sample event times with rainfall or module data. The Summary report, listing daily summaries of data collected. The Summary report may be rainfall and/or module data. The sampler stores the data for each report in memory where they remain until you select RUN. Selecting RUN clears the memory so that it can store the data from the next program.

4.15.1 Collecting Reports
There are a number of ways to collect the reports: View reports (program settings, sampling results, and abbreviated summary reports) on the samplers display. Collect the reports (except for summary reports) with a Teledyne Isco 581 RTD and use a computer running flowlink or samplink to transfer the reports from the RTD to a file on the computer. Collect the reports (except for summary reports) with an IBM PC or compatible computer running flowlink.
581 RTD
Collect the reports with and IBM PC or compatible computer running samplink. Because the display area is small, the data on the reports will be displayed a little differently from the data that is transferred to and viewed on your computer. For the Sampling Report, the sampler displays each program event, one at a time. For the Module and Rainfall Data reports, it displays daily summaries, instead of the full reports available with the rtd, Flowlink, or Samplink. If you select Sampling Report or Rainfall (step 3 in Viewing Data, shown in the margin), the sampler begins displaying the report data. The sampler advances automatically through the report items, displaying each item briefly. While the sampler advances automatically through the displays: Stop the automatic displays by pressing Stop once. Then, use the arrow keys to move manually through the report. Return to the main menu by pressing Stop twice.

6712 Portable Sampler Section 4 Standard Programming 4.15.4 Sampling Results Report As the sampler runs a program, it records the programs events. Program events include such items as sample events, program enables and disables, power losses, and so on. Table 4-3 lists each event with a short description. You can view the report by following the steps in Viewing the Data on page 4-19 or print the log as the Sampling Results report. In the text file version of the report, sample-event entries include the time of the event as well as the sample and bottle numbers. The sample column contains the sample number deposited into the bottle. This information reflects the distribution selected for the program. The letters in the Source columns are codes for the cause of the event. The letters in the Error column are codes for the causes of missed samples. The source and error codes appear with explanations at the end of the report. A list of codes appears in Table 4-3. The last column in the Sampling Results report records the pump counts for the sample event. Large variations in pump counts from event to event indicate fluctuating heads, a relocated suction line, or a temporarily clogged strainer.
4.15.5 Combined Results Report
At the time of each sample event, the sampler records the readings from each connected module, rain gauge, or SDI-12 sonde. The Combined Results Report presents the event time, sample and bottle number, and the respective readings from the device. For flow modules, the readings are level and flow rate. For the pH module, the readings are temperature and pH. For the rain gauge and SDI-12 Sonde, the readings vary according to the selections enabled during the hardware setup in extended programming. When recording four or more sonde parameters, the Combined Results report will exceed the standard 40 character width. To read the additional columns, the data must be collected with Flowlink 4 for Windows software.
4.15.6 Summary Report
This report summarizes the rain gauge or module data. The types of readings are the same as those available to the Combined reports. The sampler compiles the data to present a daily total, the days average, maximum, and minimum reading, and a listing of hourly averages. The sampler then graphs the days readings.

System IDs
In addition to viewing report data and configuring reports, the View Report option on the main menu lets you view system identification information. The sampler reports the sampler model number, ID (identification number), and software version number as system identification notes. The sampler also reports the same information for an attached module. The model and ID numbers remain unchanged through the life of the sampler. The ID numbers appear on the samplers reports and in files created by flowlink and samplink when they interrogate the sampler. The software packages use the ID number to make sure that data from different samplers is not combined in the same file. The software version number changes when your samplers software is updated. The system will also list any software options that you have activated on your unit. These software options are discussed in Section 5.

4.17 Programming for 700 Series Modules
The bay on the controllers side accepts any of Teledyne Iscos 700 Series Modules. These modules are optional accessories that are not required for operation of the 6712. However, the modules offer an economical way to combine flow-rate or parameter monitoring with sampling. The programming of these modules is integrated with the programming of the sampler, so attachment of a module will cause different screens to be displayed, depending on the type of module and the selections you make while programming. Two modules that are commonly used are the 730 Bubbler Module, which monitors a flow streams level and flow rate, and the 750 Area Velocity Module for monitoring a flow streams level, velocity, and flow rate. The following sets of screens give you an example of what screens you might see while programming the sampler and module. Refer to Table 4-1 (which does not have a module attached) at the beginning of this section to compare the sequence of screen displays.

S ec tion 5 Extended Programming
The 6712 Sampler has two sets of programming screens. The first set, called standard programming screens, lets you set up typical sampling programs easily and efficiently. The second set, extended programming screens, lets you create sophisticated programs for complex sampling applications. All of the sampling features available with standard programming screens, discussed in Section 4, are available with extended programming screens. However, the extended screens provide several additional features and some screen display differences which are discussed in this section. The menu flowcharts for both sets of programming screens are in Appendix A, Menu Flowcharts.
Note
This section assumes that you have read, and are familiar with, the instructions in Section 4, Standard Programming!
5.1 Extended and Standard Mode
The sampler is shipped with factory default settings in standard programming mode when you first turn the sampler on. The start-up screen tells you which programming mode the sampler is currently using. You can switch between programming modes by entering a numerical command at the main menu: At the main menu type 6712.2 to enter extended programming mode. At the main menu type 6712.1 to enter standard programming mode.
RUN EXTENDED 1 PROGRAM VIEW REPORT OTHER FUNCTIONS Main Menu for Extended Mode
5.2 One-Part and Two-Part Programs
Extended programming lets you set up a one-part program or a two-part program. One-part programs let you fill all bottles of the tub with one set of pacing, distribution, and enable settings. Two-part programs add an additional set of extended pacing, distribution, and enable screens to the sampling program. Each set of screens is called a program part. The program parts are simply called part A and part B. Both parts share the program settings for suction-line length, suction head, and rinses and retries. They also share one start-time setting.
5-1
6712 Portable Sampler Section 5 Extended Programming Each part has its own group of bottles. Because settings for each part are independent of each other, the sampler, when running a two-part program, fills each bottle group as if they were being filled by two different programs. Two-part programs finish when both parts are done. Two-part programming is ideal for sampling storm events. Many storm-water run-off monitoring permits require a first-flush grab sample within the first 30 minutes of the storm event and flow-paced samples during the remainder of the event. With a two-part program, you can set up part A for the first-flush sample and part B for the remainder. Table 5-2 shows a storm-water sampling program.
5.3 Storage for Extended Programs
The sampler stores five sampling programs: one standard and four extended. Program storage eliminates the need to reprogram the sampler with frequently used settings. This feature is especially useful for complex extended programs such as two-part programs or programs with many nonuniform-time settings. Teledyne Isco ships the sampler to you with factory programs that you can modify to suit your own needs. All four extended programs are identical to each other. The stored programs will also save your 700 Series Module program settings and any sampler enable conditions using rain gauge data or SDI-12 sonde parameters. These program settings remain as long as you do not change the type of module, or change the rain gauge or SDI-12 Hardware Setup.
5.3.1 Selecting a Stored Program
When the sampler is in extended programming mode, it always has one current and three noncurrent programs, each occupying a permanent location in memory. The first time you access the extended mode, the current program is EXTENDED 1, one of the factory extended programs. The name of the current extended program appears in quotations on the first line of the main menu. The factory programs are named EXTENDED 1, EXTENDED 2, EXTENDED 3, and EXTENDED 4." You can rename them with more descriptive names, making them easier to identify. The program name is one of the extended programs settings. After selecting a stored program, review the settings with the quick view screens. Each sampling program stores all the settings required by the sampler to run a program. These settings include the bottle-kit information (number of bottles and the bottle volume), the suction-line length, the site description, start times, and so on. If you use the same program at two sites each requiring different bottle configurations, suction line lengths, or other details always check these settings before running a program. You may need to make minor changes to the program to make sure the settings match your equipment.
5-2
6712 Portable Sampler Section 5 Extended Programming The current program is the program you see when you select PROGRAM from the main menu and page through the programming screens. It is the program the sampler uses when you select RUN from the main menu. You cannot delete programs, but you can modify them as often as necessary. To run a program with different settings without losing the settings in your current program, select a stored program and modify its settings. For example, assume you have been running the current program, named EXTENDED 1, at site A for several weeks. This program contains all the settings you need for site A, and you dont want to lose those settings. Nevertheless, you need another program because you want to move the sampler to site B, so you select EXTENDED 2 and modify it for site B. The settings in EXTENDED 1 are preserved automatically. When you return the sampler to site A, you wont need to reprogram the sampler. Merely select EXTENDED 1 again, double-check the program settings, and run the program. To select an extended program, follow the steps in Table 5-1.

5.4 Programming for 700 series Modules
The bay on the controllers side accepts any of Teledyne Iscos 700 Series Modules. These optional accessories are not required to operate the 6712. However, the modules offer an economical way to combine flow-rate or parameter monitoring with sampling. The programming of these modules is integrated with the programming of the sampler, so attachment of a module will cause different screens to be displayed, depending on the type of module and the selections you make while programming. Two modules that are commonly used are the 730 Bubbler Module, which monitors a flow streams level and flow rate, and the 750 Area Velocity Module for monitoring a flow streams level, velocity, and flow rate. Section 4 contains two examples of programming for modules. Module programming is the same in Extended as it was in Standard programming.
5.5 Programming SDI-12 Sondes
As an option, the 6712 accepts up to 16 parameters from up to ten sensors with SDI-12 addresses from 0 - 9. The data parameters used by the sonde and sampler must match. Certain vendors sondes, such as Hydrolab and YSI, have enhanced commands that facilitate plug and play setup. These Teledyne Isco Ready sondes can tell the 6712 what values they have, their order, and units of measure. Other sondes can be used, but require manual setup to identify proper data types for each data value reported. For more information about programming SDI-12 sondes, refer to Section 6.
5.6 Programming Examples
In addition to the features available with standard programming, and discussed in Section 4, extended programming offers: Nonuniform time pacing Random interval pacing Event pacing Multiple bottle compositing Time switched bottles or bottle sets Programmable sampler enable Pauses and resumes Two-part programming Automatic or user-defined suction head Suction line rinses Sampling retries This manual provides several programming examples. Some, demonstrating simple tasks, appear in the margins. Others, demonstrating more complex tasks, appear as examples. Table 5-2 on the following pages steps you through a storm water runoff sampling using extended programming.
5-4
6712 Portable Sampler Section 5 Extended Programming 5.6.1 Storm Water Runoff Sampling Storm water runoff sampling is an ideal application for two-part programming. Typical monitoring permits require that a series of timed samples be taken during the initial portion of the storm event, followed by flow paced samples during the remainder of the event. This example assumes that a Rain Gauge and a Bubbler Flow Module are connected to the sampler.
Note
To enable the Bubbler Module programming screens, insert the module before turning on the sampler Using a 24-bottle kit, it divides the bottles into two groups, with six bottles assigned to part A and 18 to part B. The sampler will begin taking samples after being enabled according to programmable enable controls; that is, when the rain gauge detects 0.15 inches of rainfall in 30 minutes, and the module detects a flow stream level of more than 0.25 feet. Because both program parts use the same enable settings, the sampler will enable both parts at the same time. A list of settings for the program follow: Program type: Extended. Program name: STORM.

5.7 Suction Head

Extended Screen for Suction Head Settings
Suction head is the vertical distance between the surface of the liquid source and the samplers pump. At each sample event, the sampler determines the suction head automatically. In extended programming, you can manually enter the suction head if you want. Select ENTER HEAD only when the head remains stable and you can measure it accurately.
If you choose AUTO SUCTION HEAD, the head will be determined for you. If you select ENTER HEAD, the screen below will be displayed so you can enter the suction head.
SUCTION HEAD OF ___ ft (min - max)
5.8 Rinses and Retries

Screens for Line Rinses and Sampling Retries
__RINSE CYCLES (0-3)
Rinses and retries are extended programming features. You can program the sampler to rinse the suction line automatically. During a line rinse cycle, the sampler draws liquid through the line to the liquid detector. As soon as it detects liquid, the sampler reverses the pump to purge the line. The sampling retries feature lets you set the number of times, from 0 to 3, that the sampler tries to detect liquid in the line before skipping the sample.
RETRY UP TO __ TIMES WHEN SAMPLING (0-3)
5.9 Pacing
Extended Pacing Screen
UNIFORM TIME PACE FLOW PACED EVENT PACED NONUNIFORM TIME
Sample pacing is the rate at which the sampler takes samples. Depending on the type of pacing you select, the rate is controlled by the samplers internal clock or by inputs received from connected instruments. Standard programming provides time pacing and flow pacing, which are described in Section 4. Extended programming provides additional pacing types, so its pacing screen (see example in margin) has four items listed instead of two. Uniform time pacing is identical to time pacing in standard programming. Flow paced is the same for both types of programming. Event paced and nonuniform time pacing are described below.
5.9.1 Event Pacing
To program the sampler for event pacing, select event paced. Refer to Table 5-3 for an example of event paced sampling that uses three event conditions. Up to fourteen event conditions can be defined (for two-part programs, up to fourteen event conditions can be defined for each part). An event will occur when any of the programmed event
5-12
6712 Portable Sampler Section 5 Extended Programming conditions becomes true. The default distribution setting for event-paced sampling is sequential (each time an event occurs, the sampler takes one sample, placing it in one bottle). However, any distribution setting may be used. If you have programmed multiple conditions, and more than one condition comes true at the same time (within your measurement interval), one sample will be taken and all conditions that caused the event will be noted on reports. Table 5-3 uses rate of change for the event condition (see step 7). This feature enables the event condition under specific circumstances. In the example below, a rate of change is set so that if the level rises more than one foot in a two hour time period, the event condition would be enabled and a sample taken. In determining if the rise occurs in this example, the sampler looks back at the previous two hour time period to see if there is a rise of more than one foot between any valley (low point) or peak (high point) within that time period. Once the condition becomes true (a rise of more than one foot is noted), the event condition is enabled. It will not be enabled again unless the condition becomes false, and then true again, within the two hour time window. In event pacing, up to three different rate of change event conditions can be programmed (for two-part programs, a total of six rate of change event conditions can be defined, three for each part). 5.9.2 Event Paced Sampling This example uses a sampler with an attached 730 Bubbler Flow Module, Rain Gauge, and an SDI-12 sonde at address 5 with four parameters.

6712 Portable Sampler Section 5 Extended Programming 5.9.3 Nonuniform Time Pacing The extended time pacing options are uniform time and nonuniform time. Uniform time pacing is identical to time pacing in standard programming. Nonuniform time pacing uses an irregular interval between sample events; each interval is individually programmable. There are three types of nonuniform time pacing: Nonuniform clock time pacing. Nonuniform interval pacing. Random interval pacing. 5.9.4 Nonuniform Clock Time Pacing For clock time pacing, enter specific times for each sample event (see screen 2). You can enter as many as 99 clock times, but the interval between times cannot be greater than 24 hours. (Remember to use a 24-hour clock when entering times.) The sampler takes a sample at the start time. For nonuniform interval pacing, enter the number of sample events spaced at intervals of minutes: 12 samples at 5 minute intervals, 6 samples at 10 minute intervals, and so on. The sampler accepts as many as 99 nonuniform interval entries. The sampler takes a sample at start time.

To program the sampler for random interval pacing, enter the length of time you want to sample. The run time is the only random programming setting youll need to enter because the sampler derives the number of sample events required for the program from the distribution settings. (You can combine random pacing with any distribution.) Each time you run the program, the sampler generates a new set of random intervals. This makes each sample event unpredictable from run to run. In both nonuniform clock time pacing and nonuniform interval pacing, the sampler takes a sample at the start time. For random pacing, however, it takes the first sample at the end of the first interval, not at the start time.

5.10 Distribution
Distribution describes how the sampler is to deposit samples. A sample is the volume of liquid deposited in a bottle. A sample event includes the full sampling cycle and may deposit a sample into more than one bottle. You can program the sampler for five distribution methods: Sequential Bottles per sample Samples per bottle Composite Multiple Bottle Compositing
5.10.1 Sequential
In sequential distribution, the sampler deposits one sample in each bottle. A sequential sample represents a snapshot of the flow stream at a point in time. In bottles per sample distribution, the sampler deposits a sample in each of a set of bottles. A bottle set includes at least two bottles but may include all bottles. Use bottles per sample when the volume to be collected is larger than the amount one bottle can hold or when you need identical samples. In samples per bottle distribution, the sampler deposits samples from several sample events in a single bottle before moving to the next bottle. Use samples per bottle distribution to collect a series of small composite samples. For single bottle configurations, samples per bottle distribution is known as composite sampling. A composite sample represents an average of the flow streams characteristics during the sampling period. Multiple bottle compositing is a combination of bottles-per-sample and samples-per-bottle. At each sample event, the sampler deposits a sample into a set of bottles. It moves to a new bottle set only after each bottle of the first set contains the programmed number of samples. Use multiple-bottle compositing to collect identical sets of composite samples or a composite sample that is larger than the capacity of a single bottle. Multiple bottle compositing is available only in extended programming. In extended programming, the sampler offers an additional distribution feature, time switching. This feature determines when the sampler fills the next bottle or bottle set, and may be used with time-paced or flow-paced sample programs. Time switching distribution occurs at regular intervals (as programmed in screen 3 in the margin). The switch times are relative to the programmed FIRST SWITCH TIME (screen 4). Switch times occur regardless of the state of the sampler. Be aware that the sampler may leave empty bottles if it becomes disabled. Pause and resumes are an exception; the sampler will not switch bottles during a pause if the current bottle is empty.

6712 Portable Sampler Section 5 Extended Programming Time Switched Distribution

1 2 BOTTLES PER SAMPLE EVENT (1-max)
If the program settings instruct the sampler to take a sample at the start time, the sampler also draws a sample at the switch time. When this occurs, the pacing will also be reset at the switch time. Time switching is normally used with flow-paced programs that do not take a sample at start. These programs will place a sample in the current bottle if it is empty at the switch time, and then move to the next bottle/set. Pacing intervals are reset at every switch time. When you use the time switching feature, the volume in each bottle or bottle set may vary. Sample volumes that would exceed the bottle capacity are not taken and a PROBABLE OVERFILL message is logged.
Enter the number of bottles that should receive samples at each sample event.
Select TIME.
SWITCH BOTTLES EVERY __ HOURS, __ MINUTES
Enter the time between bottle switches.

4 FIRST SWITCH TIME AT: __:__
Enter the first bottle switch time.
5.10.7 Continuous Sampling
Sample programs can be run indefinitely by selecting YES at the RUN CONTINUOUSLY? screen. Continuous sampling resets the distribution when the distribution sequence is complete. That is, when the last bottle/set is reached, the next bottle/set is the first bottle/set. All pacing modes except RANDOM are supported. When running a program continuously, the bottles must be serviced at regular intervals to prevent overfilling the bottles. The sampler assumes that the next bottle/set is empty and ready to receive samples. If you are using this feature with two-part programming, keep in mind that the parts will most likely reset at different intervals.

5.11 Flow Proportional Sample Volumes
The 6712 can collect flow proportional sample volumes. For some sampling protocols, these flow-weighted, variable-volume samples can be more representative of the stream. This is because stream characteristics often change as the flow fluctuates. Variable-volume sampling is possible when the sampler is programmed for Uniform Time pacing. To enable this feature, select Y E S a t t h e d i s p l a y a s k i n g D O YO U WA N T S A M P L E VOLUMES DEPENDENT ON FLOW?
DO YOU WANT SAMPLE VOLUMES DEPENDENT ON FLOW? YES NO
After answering YES, the sampler displays screens to program the flow proportional volumes. If the sampler has a 700 Series Flow Module inserted, you will be asked which flow measurement should be used to determine the volumes.
FLOW PULSES FLOW MODULE VOLUME
To base the volumes on an external flow measurement device attached to the Flow Meter connector, select FLOW PULSES. To base the volumes on the 700 Series Flow Module readings, select FLOW MODULE VOLUME. Next, the sampler asks for the SAMPLE VOLUME to collect at each time interval. This volume is expressed as 10 ml for every X number of pulses, or if using a flow module, for every volume unit.
SAMPLE VOLUME: 10 ml FOR EVERY ___ PULSES
Refer to section 5.11.1, Calculating Variable Sample Volume Settings, for a more detailed discussion on this setting. The final screen used to program variable-volume sampling is the MINIMUM SAMPLE VOLUME. If the number of flow pulses or flow module volume is not sufficient enough to collect this minimum volume, the sample is skipped and the flow count carries over to the next sample time. This setting ranges from 10 ml to a maximum determined by the bottle volume.
MINIMUM SAMPLE VOLUME ___ ml (10 - maximum)
5-19
6712 Portable Sampler Section 5 Extended Programming 5.11.1 Calculating Variable Sample Volume Settings The entry for the SAMPLE VOLUME display can be calculated based on expected flow rates and collection volume requirements. The number of pulses or flow module volume that you enter should ensure that the minimum volume of liquid required for analysis is collected without exceeding the bottle volume capacity of the sampler. You may find it helpful to determine a range of values by calculating both possibilities. The number you enter would be selected from this range. This range is illustrated in Figure 5-2.

Time
Figure 5-2 Factors Affecting Flow-Weighted Variable-Volume Samples In other words, at the greatest expected flow, this SAMPLE VOLUME value should be set to prevent filling the bottle before the end of the program. An early full-bottle condition would result in a composite sample that is not representative of the flow stream. At the lowest expected flow, the SAMPLE VOLUME value should be set to ensure that enough sample is collected. If too little sample liquid is collected, there may not be enough for analysis although it is a representative composite sample. For example, consider an NPDES sampling program used to collect a flow-proportional composite sample for BOD, TSS, and NH3-N analysis. The laboratory requires at least 1,000 ml for BOD, 100 ml for TSS, and 400 ml for NH3-N tests. The minimum composite volume needed for analysis is then 1,500 ml, but to allow for duplicates and spillage, this volume is doubled to 3,000 ml. The samples are to be collected over an eight hour period at 15 minute intervals into a 9,400 ml composite bottle. Flow rates at the site range from 1.5 to 2.0 mgd, the equivalent volume of 500,000 and 666,667 gallons respectively over the eight hour period. This flow is measured by an external flow meter that sends a flow pulse every 100 gallons. Figure 5-3 depicts this scenario.

Figure 5-3 Variable-Volume Scenario 5.11.2 Calculations when Using an External Flow Meter The highest possible SAMPLE VOLUME value is determined by the minimum volume required for analysis and the least expected flow rate over the sampling duration. To calculate the number of pulses at this high end of the range, you should know: the least expected flow volume that will pass the flow measurement point the flow volume interval between each flow pulse from the external flow meter the minimum composite sample volume required for analysis. Allow for duplicates and spillage. These factors would be applied to the following equation.
(Least Total Flow Vol) / (Flow Pulse Vol) 10 ml for every __ pulses = (Minimum Required Vol) / (10 ml per unit)
SAMPLE VOLUME: 10 ml FOR EVERY ___ PULSES
From the scenario we can apply the factors for the equation.
(500,000 gallons) / (100 gallons per pulse) 10 ml for every 16.7 pulses = (3,000 ml / 10 ml)
Because the SAMPLE VOLUME entry must be in whole numbers, 16.7 is rounded down to 16. It is important to note that this number is inversely proportional to the amount of volume collected. Rounding up would result in less volume collected. The lowest possible SAMPLE VOLUME value is dependent upon the highest expected flow and the available bottle volume. To calculate the number of pulses or volume at this low end, you should know: the greatest expected flow volume that will pass the flow measurement point the flow volume interval between each flow pulse from an external flow meter the available bottle volume for sample collection.
5-21
6712 Portable Sampler Section 5 Extended Programming These factors would be applied to the following equation.
(Greatest Total Flow Vol) / (Flow Pulse Vol) 10 ml for every __ pulses = (Total Bottle Vol) / (10 ml per unit)
From the scenario we can apply the factors to the equation.

(666,667 gallons / 100 gallons) 10 ml for every 7.0 pulses = (9,400 ml / 10 ml)
At high flow rates, a number below 7 would overfill the bottle. At low flow rates, a number greater than 16 would collect too little sample. Therefore, a value should be selected between 7 and 16 pulses. 5.11.3 Calculations when Using a 700 Series Flow Module The same principles discussed in Section 5.11.2 apply. However, the equations differ slightly because the flow module directly measures the streams flow volumes. The equation for the high end of the range is:
(Least Total Flow Vol) 10 ml for every __ units = (Minimum Required Vol) / (10 ml per unit)
Using the same scenario the calculations would be:

SAMPLE VOLUME: 10 ml FOR EVERY ___ Gallons
500,000 gallons 10 ml for every 1667 gallons = (3,000 ml) / (10 ml per gallon)
The equation for the low end of the range is:

(Greatest Total Flow Vol) 10 ml for every __ units = (Total Bottle Vol) / (10 ml per unit)
The scenario would be applied as:

666,667 gallons 10 ml for every 709 gallons = (9400 ml) / (10 ml per unit)
Therefore, a value should be selected between 709 and 1667 gallons for the given scenario.
5-22
5.12 Sampler Enable
Certain external instruments can enable (start) or disable (stop) a sampler by sending a signal to pin F of the samplers flow meter connector. Teledyne Isco flow meters, flow loggers, and the Model 1640 Liquid Level Actuator have a programmable sampler-enable feature that lets them enable or disable the sampler. You can define the condition (such as level, flow rate, pH, temperature, percent, rainfall, and I/O) or combination of conditions that need to be true in order to enable the sampler. Refer to Figure A-12 in Appendix A for details on programming sampler enables. When the sampler detects that it is disabled at start time, it suspends the program until it is enabled. Once enabled, the sampler collects a sample only when programmed to take a sample at the enable time. The diagram in Figure 5-4 shows the samplers response when enabled or disabled at the start time.
Sampler enabled at start time A sample event at the start time always occurs for time-paced programs (except for random). For flow-paced programs, it occurs when the program requires a sample at start time.
Sampler disabled at start time by signal from pin F A sample event at enable time occurs only when the program requires a sample at enable.

5-24
5.13 Sampler Enable Responses
In addition to programming enable conditions, extended programming lets you control the samplers response to its enable state. You can: Stay enabled after the first enable. Set up a repeatable enable. Take a sample at enable or disable. Delay the start of sampling after the enable. Reset the sampling interval countdown each time the sampler is enabled. Control the sampling interval countdown while disabled. Enable Part B of a two-part program when Part A is done.
5.13.1 Once Enabled Stay Enabled
For certain monitoring programs, you may want the sampler to continue to sample, even though the conditions that enabled the sampler no longer exist. When you use the ONCE ENABLED, STAY ENABLED feature, after becoming enabled the sampler takes samples until it reaches the end of its program.
ONCE ENABLED, STAY ENABLED? YES NO
Note
The STAY ENABLED feature works only when the sampler becomes enabled following program start. If you need this feature with enable prior to program start, contact Teledyne Isco for details. 5.13.2 Repeatable Enable After enabling the sampler, the enabling instrument (or instruments) continues to monitor the conditions and disables the sampler when the conditions are no longer satisfied. If re-enabled, the sampler resumes the sampling program.
Note
Repeatable enable is called sampler latching in flow meters, flow loggers, and FLOWLINK. Latching a sampler produces the same results as selecting YES; the difference is that the external instrument controls the latching. 5.13.3 Sample at Enable or Disable You have the option of directing the sampler to take a sample as soon as it receives the enable and/or disable signal. If you program the sampler to stay enabled and choose to take a sample at enable, the sample interval will be reset at the enable time. Samples at disable do not affect the sample intervals. Standard programs do not take a sample at the enable time.
5-25
6712 Portable Sampler Section 5 Extended Programming 5.13.4 Delay To Start Of Sampling If you have selected ONCE ENABLED STAY ENABLED and have chosen to not sample at the enable, you have the opportunity to suspend the start of sampling. This choice is useful for storm programs that require a flow-paced sample taken after the initial grab sample.
START SAMPLING AFTER A ___ MINUTE DELAY (1-999)
5.13.5 Dry Period Option
For samplers used with a 0.01 inch tip rain gauge, you can cause the sampler to wait for a dry period of under 0.10 inches of rain over a 72-hour period before running the program. At RUN time, the sampler asks if you want to restart the 72-hour period. Select this choice if you want the sampler to disregard any dry period that took place prior to the program start. The sampler will wait for up to one year for the dry period to occur.
START EXTENDED 1 AFTER A 72 HOUR DRY PERIOD? YES NO
5.13.6 Resetting the Sample Interval at Enable You may want the pacing countdown to start over each time the sampler becomes enabled. To accomplish this, select YES when asked if you want to reset the sample interval at enable. The next sample event will occur at the end of a full interval. Furthermore, if the sampler is enabled several times during the program, it resets the countdown each time. Use the reset-interval feature carefully. For example, avoid resetting the interval when you sample with uniform-time pacing and want to take samples at specific times. The effects of resetting the interval can be seen in this example: A sampler has been programmed to sample every 15 minutes and to reset the interval when enabled. It receives an enable signal at 10:03 and takes a sample. After resetting the interval, the sampler takes subsequent samples at 10:18 (not 10:15), 10:33 (not 10:30), and so on. If you select NO when asked if you want to reset the sample interval at enable, you will be asked if you want to continue the countdown while disabled. You can have the sampler continue the countdown, repeating it as often as necessary while the sampler is disabled, or you may suspend the countdown while disabled, resuming the countdown as the sampler is enabled. The standard program allows the countdown to continue while disabled.
RESET SAMPLE INTERVAL AT ENABLE? YES NO
If you answer NO to the above screen, you will see:

CONTINUE COUNTDOWN WHILE DISABLED? YES NO

5.14 Pauses/Resumes
Pause and Resume Screens
Flowcharts containing the pause and resume screen appear in Appendix A.
PAUSE RESUME 1. 17:00 MO 08:00 TU 2. 17:00 TU 08:00 WE CLEAR DONE
Pause and resume settings, available in extended programming, create an intermittent sampling schedule. A program with pauses and resumes begins sampling at its programmed start time, continuing until the first pause time and day of the week. It then suspends sampling until the first resume time, when it begins sampling again. If the start time falls within a pause period, the sampler will not begin sampling until the next resume time. Pauses and resumes repeat weekly. You can enter up to nine pairs of pause and resume times. The pause and resume times shown as examples to the left suspend the program between 5:00 p.m. Monday and 8:00 a.m. on Tuesday and between 5:00 p.m. Tuesday and 8:00 a.m. on Wednesday. If the start time is Monday at 8:00 a.m., the sampler takes samples between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Monday; between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Tuesday; and, continues after 8:00 a.m. Wednesday. To remove pause and resume settings from a program, select CLEAR. A sampler running a pause/resume program resets the pacing interval at each resume time. You can program the sampler to take a sample at resume times (see screen at left).
SAMPLE AT RESUME? YES NO
5.15 Running Programs
To run an extended program, select run from the main menu. You may also select YES at the RUN THIS PROGRAM NOW? screen at the end of the programming screens. Extended programs scheduled to start at a clock time will not start until the programmed clock time on or after the first valid date. Note that if you have recently calibrated a parameter probe, the sampler may delay the start and display PLEASE WAIT until valid readings are expected from the probe. The delay accounts for the time typically required to install the probe, and lasts for five minutes after you complete the calibration.
5.15.1 Run Time Screens
Run time screens, which report the programs status while running a program, are explained in Section 4. Interrupting a running program is also explained in Section 4. The scrolling menu that appears during the manual paused state can have two extra options when using extended programming: Adjust Enable This option is available for extended sampling programs that have programmed enable conditions. Selecting this option allows you to change the set-points or ranges for the enable conditions. The sampler displays all of the programming screens that define the thresholds of the programmed enables. You cannot change the type of enables used or the way they are combined. If rain is an enabling condition, you also have the option of resetting the rain history.

If you make changes to the suction head value, the sampler logs a changed suction head event.
5.16 Sampling Reports
The 6712 records a variety of data while running a sampling program. Sample reports can be found in Section 4. Section 4, Table 4-3 contains a list of source codes and program events that may be recorded when using either standard or extended programming.

5-28
6712 Portable Sampler Section 5 Extended Programming 5.18.2 Programming Style The sampler has two different styles of programming screens: normal and quick view. These are both explained in Section 3. When you are in extended programming, the default style is Quick View, which allows you to move more quickly through the screens. If you prefer a step-by-step display for the screens, switch to the Normal setting. 5.18.3 Measurement Interval If using a 700 Series module or SDI-12 Sonde parameter for enabling, the sampler will request a Measurement Interval. The Measurement Interval allows the sampler to compare the parameter to the enabling conditions at a rate faster than the Data Storage interval. If the Measurement Interval is equal to or greater than the Data Storage interval, the parameter will be checked at the rate of Data Storage interval. Normally, there are two considerations when selecting the Measurement Interval: power consumption and duration of the enabling event. This setting for battery powered samplers will require some degree of balance between the need to conserve power yet detect the enabling event before it has passed. 5.18.4 Dual Sampler Mode Dual Sampler Mode Dual Sampler Mode lets you operate two samplers as a pair. The primary sampler disables the secondary one until the primary sampler completes its sampling program. The samplers then reverse roles with the second sampler becoming the primary one. Setting Up Dual Samplers 1. Turn on the dual sampler mode in both samplers. 2. Install the samplers. 3. Connect the samplers with the Dual Sampler Mode Interconnect Cable by attaching the cable to the samplers flow-meter connectors. If your installation includes a flow meter or flow logger, use the Dual Sampler Mode to Flow Meter Cable instead. 4. Decide which sampler is to be the primary sampler; the primary sampler should be the sampler with the program you want to run first. 5. Turn the primary sampler on and run its sampling program by selecting RUN. After at least 5 seconds, turn the secondary sampler on and select RUN from its main menu. How Does It Work? The primary sampler sends a disable signal out its flow meter connector. The secondary sampler receiving the signal is held disabled until the primary sampler completes its program. When using a flow meter or flow logger a Dual Sampler Mode to Flow Meter cable must be used. This cable is constructed so that the pacing instrument receives only the event marks. Therefore, a connected flow meter will not receive a bottle number signal, nor will it be able to control the sampler inhibit. 5-29

DUAL SAMPLER MODE? YES NO
Select YES to put the sampler in the dual sampler mode. When you no longer need dual samplers, return to this screen to turn the feature off.
6712 Portable Sampler Section 5 Extended Programming Bottle Full Detect

BOTTLE FULL DETECT? YES NO
Bottle Full Detection The sampler can detect a full bottle condition when collecting samples in a single bottle (composite sampling). When the sampler detects a full bottle, it stops the sampling routine. A BOTTLE FULL condition will also stop a sampling routine that is set to RUN CONTINUOUSLY. The Bottle Full Detect screen allows you to enable or disable this feature. Selecting YES enables the sampler to detect a full bottle and stop the sampling routine. Selecting NO disables this feature. The Bottle Full Detect setting is part of the sampling program. Because it is a program setting, full bottle detection can be enabled or disabled for each of the four extended programs. If the Bottle Full Detect setting is critical to your sampling program, always check this Software setting after you select a different Extended Program. This feature relies on a post-purge after each sample. When using the Bottle Full Detect, make sure that post-sample purges greater than 100 are used. Bottle Full Detect is always disabled in the Standard Programming mode.
Adjusting the Display Backlighting

BACKLIGHT ALWAYS OFF TIMED BACKLIGHT CONTINUOUS BACKLIGHT
Display Backlighting The display has a backlight that is adjustable so that the backlight is always off, timed or always on. In the timed backlight mode the sampler turns the backlight off after detecting no key strokes within 60 seconds. Any keystroke (except ON-OFF) turns the backlighting on again. In this mode the backlight must be on before the sampler accepts a menu choice or number entry. If you press a key and a screen does not respond, it is because the keystroke turned the backlight on. It is recommended that you use either BACKLIGHT ALWAYS OFF or TIMED BACKLIGHT when using a battery.
Event Marks
EVENT MARK SENT FOR: EVERY SAMPLE COMPLETE SAMPLES
Event Marks The sampler generates an event mark at each sample event, sending it through the flow meter connector to a connected instrument. The event mark may also control an external device; a connected solenoid relay, for example. When using the event mark for a data logger or to control external devices, you may need to adjust the mark by changing the factory settings. The event mark is adjustable through the software setup screens. You can set up the sampler to generate an event mark for EVERY SAMPLE or for COMPLETE SAMPLES. If you select COMPLETE SAMPLES, the sampler sends a three-second pulse only after it successfully collects a sample. The sampler will not send an event mark if an error occurs, such as No Liquid Detected. If you select EVERY SAMPLE, the sampler will send an event mark every time a sample is initiated. The event mark signal can be a: 3-second pulse at the beginning of the pre-sample purge.
5-30
6712 Portable Sampler Section 5 Extended Programming 3-second pulse at the beginning of forward pumping only, marking the time the sampler deposited the sample. Variable duration pulse generated during the pump cycle, from the beginning of the pre-sample purge to the end of the postsample purge. Variable duration pulse generated only during forward pumping. Figure 5-5 shows event mark timing diagrams. Bottle Number Concurrent with the event mark, the sampler also sends a bottle number signal. The bottle number signal is a series of pulses. The number of pulses sent represents the bottle currently accepting a sample (see Figure 5-5).

The pre-sample purge is when the pump runs in reverse clearing the strainer of any debris before taking a sample. The pre-sample purge is set at 200 pump counts. After the sample is taken a post-sample purge occurs to clear the liquid from the suction line. The duration of the post-sample purge is determined by the length of the suction line to maximize the battery life. The preand post-sample purge can also be manually set.

5.18.7 Program Lock
The specialized software option Program Lock (P/N 60-9003-532) may be purchased from Teledyne Isco. Once activated, the purchased option is always available, even if the software is upgraded at a later time. The option must be installed at the factory. Consult the factory for further details. To view which software options have been activated, select VIEW REPORT>SYSTEM IDs. A Software Options screen will list a code for each active option. The code for Program Lock is 1108. The Program Lock adds password security to the 6712 sampling programs. With this option activated, a user-selected password (up to five digits) must be entered before any program changes or run time modifications can be made. Run time modifications include accessing the Manual Pause menu options and shutting off the sampler. You will still be able to run the current program, view reports, and interrogate the sampler without the knowledge of the password. If three consecutive attempts to enter the password fail, a five minute time-out will follow in which most keys are deactivated. The user-selected password defaults to 6712 and may be changed in the Software options that are available in the Extended Program mode (see example at left). While the password may only be changed in the Extended Program mode, the program lock works for both Standard and Extended programs. Should you forget your password, a key code can be obtained from Teledyne Iscos Customer Support department for a nominal fee.

6712 Portable Sampler Section 5 Extended Programming 5.19.3 I/O Pin Programming Pins C, H, and I on the Rain Gauge Connector are user-configured as I/O1, I/O2, and I/O3 (Input/Output pins) respectively. Each pin can be either an input for sampler enabling, or an output for alarms.
Note
The state of the I/O lines is not defined when the sampler is OFF. The enable input requires a pulse signal of 5 to 15 volts. Teledyne Isco offers optional interface modules for converting from a 4-20 mA analog or pulse duration signal. The alarm output can be set for any RUNNING PROGRAM or RUN ERROR state. In addition, the CONDITIONS output can report alarm conditions using the parameters the 6712 is configured to measure. You can set thresholds for one or two conditions and the CONDITIONS output can then trigger alarms when the measured parameters exceed the threshold. Alarm function requires an alarm interface module, factory-installed talking modem, or external digital cellular modem (see Section 5.19.4 Dialout Alarms). Teledyne Isco offers a module designed to provide one, two, or three contact closures. The alarm module can interface the sampler with many types of non-Isco devices. For more information about the alarm module, contact your Teledyne Isco sales representative.

6712 Portable Sampler Section 5 Extended Programming 5.19.4 Dialout Alarms Dialout alarms require the sampler to be equipped with the factory-installed 2400 baud talking modem, or the external digital cellular CDMA or GSM modem. The dialout alarm allows the sampler to notify a contact list when an alarm condition exists (is true). At the transition to the true state, any programmed I/O output can cause the sampler to warn of the alarm condition. As many as three telephone numbers can be entered. The sampler tries each telephone number in succession until the alarm is acknowledged. For each alarm condition, the sampler will attempt each telephone number entered a maximum of five times, at user specified intervals. Alarms are set up through the I/O programming menu, shown in Section 5.19.3. I/O1, I/O2, and I/O3 represent the three alarms.
Example: Dialout Alarms

If the controller is equipped with a dialout modem, it can be programmed to notify a telephone or pager contact list when an alarm condition is true. Before proceeding the I/O conditions must be defined. Refer to section 5.19.4. These steps program a dialout alarm when the condition defined for I/O1 is true. 1. Select YES to enable the dialout alarm.
DIALOUT WHEN IO1 BECOMES TRUE? YES NO
If the phone number requires extended characters, or if you need to designate a number as a pager, press the decimal key. The controller displays:
SELECT CODE PAGER # *
Use an arrow key to select a code and press Enter to insert it in the number on the DIALOUT NUMBERS screen. 3. Enter the delay time between each attempt. A delay will allow time between attempts so you can return a call to the controller to acknowledge the alarm condition.
__ MINUTE DELAY BETWEEN CALLS (0-99)
The controller asks the same question for IO2 and IO3. Select NO.
DIALOUT WHEN IO2 BECOMES TRUE? NO YES
DIALOUT WHEN IO3 BECOMES TRUE? YES NO
Note: Numbers may be removed from the list by advancing the cursor to the very end of the number with the right arrow key, then pressing the left arrow key to erase the number.
2. Using the number entry keys, enter as many as 3 telephone numbers to the contact list.
DIALOUT NUMBERS: 1. 9,55555550001 2. 9,55555550002 3. P5550003
5-39
6712 Portable Sampler Section 5 Extended Programming When the call is answered, the samplers modem announces the alarm condition (analog talking modem) or sends a digital text message (external cellular modem), and the samplers three-digit ID number. To acknowledge the call, press the (star) key, and the three-digit ID number on your phone. The sampler will reply with an acknowledgment when the keyed entry is correct.
A record of alarms and acknowledgements is available in the Sampling Report. When the sampler detects the alarm condition, it records the type of alarm and the time it occurred. Acknowledgements are a separate Sampling Report entry, recording the time and telephone number that responded to the call. As mentioned previously, as many as three telephone numbers may be entered. The modem can dial up to 25 digits. Enter numbers using the numeric keys on the sampler keypad. When entering telephone numbers longer than 17 digits, the display will scroll. Extended characters, the Comma (,), Pound (#), and Star (*), also may be included in the 25 digits. To enter an extended character, press the Decimal Point key on the sampler keypad. The sampler displays a screen used to select and enter the extended characters. Each comma entered will cause the modem to pause for two seconds before proceeding with the remaining digits. Phone numbers that are no longer needed can be removed. Advance the cursor to the end of the telephone number and then press the Left Arrow key to erase the preceding character. If the cursor is not at the end of the telephone number, the Left Arrow key will only shift the cursor without erasing any characters. Dialout telephone and pager numbers are included in the Program Settings Report.
Note
Connecting either the serial output or the standard interrogator cable to the sampler disables the internal dial-out modem. The interrogator or serial output cable must be disconnected before you can use the modem. 5.19.5 Pager Numbers The extended character screen contains a pager option that designates the phone number as a pager. When programmed as a pager number, an identification string will be sent seven times after the pager number is dialed, with a three second delay between strings. An example identification string would be 828-1, meaning Alarm condition #1 exists at sampler 828. If more than one alarm condition exists, the string would read similar to 828-1-3. 5.19.6 Digital Modem Text Messaging The sampler can send alarms in the form of text messages containing the same information as that found in voice messages. To use this option, you must have: a cellular phone with text messaging capabilities
5-40
6712 Portable Sampler Section 5 Extended Programming an external digital modem recommended: Teledyne Iscos CDMA cellular modem part # 60-5314-489 or GSM cellular modem part # 60-5314-563
Note
If an internal voice modem is installed, the sampler will use that modem, and text messaging will be disabled. When you enter each of the (up to three) phone numbers for the sampler to call, if text messaging is active, a request for the TAP (Telocator Alphanumeric Protocol) server number and communications parameters will be made. As with voice messaging, the sampler will dial each telephone number up to five times per alarm condition, until the message is acknowledged. 5.19.7 Refrigerator Temperature Teledyne Isco offers a temperature sensor intended for use with the 6712FR Refrigerated Sampler. The optional sensor connects to the Rain Gauge port and uses I/O3 to transmit its temperature readings to the 6712.
Note
If alarms are being used, the temperature sensor is simply plugged into the panel mount on the one- or two-alarm output module. Because the temperature sensor uses I/O3, it cannot be used with a three-alarm output module. To configure an attached temperature sensor, select FR-TEMP a s t h e i n p u t f o r I / O 3 . T h e 6 7 1 2 w i l l d i s p l ay t h e N E W HARDWARE SETUP screen. Select DONE and the 6712 reconfigures its memory partitions to record the temperature readings. Temperature readings are updated approximately every 2.5 seconds. The readings are stored as FR-TEMP readings at the data storage interval. You can retrieve a history of temperature readings through the 6712s reports. The temperature data also can be used as a sampler enable condition. 5.19.8 Analog Output Teledyne Isco offers three analog outputs as a factory installed option. The option is installed inside the controller and includes a six-pin connector to interface with external devices. The analog outputs can be programmed for either 0-to-20 mA or 4-to-20 mA operation. With the exception of rain, any parameter that the 6712 sampler is currently measuring can be used to control any (or all) of the analog output channels. Programming the outputs requires parameter levels at each end of the analog range and then assumes a linear relationship between those points. MANUAL CONTROL of each output is also available.
5-41
Note
The internal analog output can not be installed in a controller that has the internal voice modem also installed. Contact the factory for information regarding external cellular modem options. Flowcharts for analog output screens appear in Appendix A.
5.20 Memory
The 6712 Sampler contains 512 kilobytes of battery backed RAM (Random Access Memory) that stores: Five sampling programs The sampling results from the most recent program The rainfall data collected from rain gauges The data from a refrigerator temperature sensor The data collected from a 700 Series module Parameter data collected from an SDI-12 Sonde Calculated flow information from the current flow module The sampling results memory stores up to approximately 1004 events (the actual number is dependent on the number of SDI-12 parameters). The program run and start time information is logged as four events. These four entries are held for the duration of the program. The remaining 1000 are for logging sample events, program events, and errors from the currently running program. If the running program exceeds 1000 events, the data will roll over. That is, the sampler will replace the oldest stored event with the newest event. When using an SDI-12 sonde, the sampler logs additional entries at each sample event. Module, sonde, refrigerator temperature, and rain gauge readings are stored in memory partitions. The storage capacity depends on the reading types, the number of bytes per reading, and the data storage interval. The sampler clears the sampling results memory when the site description changes. It is important to collect the sampling results before changing the site description the data can not be retrieved afterwards. Keep in mind that the description may change when selecting an extended program. The partition data is cleared when the sampler automatically creates and sizes the memory partitions. This occurs when you: Select a new program with a different storage interval Change the Data Storage Interval in the current program Change the programming mode Install a new 700 Series Module Change 700 Series Module mode of operation Add or remove a rain gauge with the Hardware Setup
5-42
6712 Portable Sampler Section 5 Extended Programming Add or remove a refrigerator temperature sensor as I/O3 Add or remove a SDI-12 sonde parameter with the Hardware Setup Reinitialize the sampler The stored data is lost as the sampler reformats its memory. As a precaution, before clearing the memory, the sampler display will show the following message:
INTERVAL CHANGED -DOWNLOAD DATA NOW OR LOSE ALL DATA! DONE
If you want to keep the stored data, download it before proceeding. When DONE is selected, the sampler clears the stored data and reformats the memory partitions. The sampler then displays the new capacity of the partition memory.
PARTITION MEMORY WILL LAST 13 DAYS
If the duration is too short, try changing the data storage interval or eliminating unnecessary reading types in the Hardware or Module Setup. For example, a sampler configured with a 730 Bubbler Module and a rain gauge storing data at a one-minute interval, creates level and rainfall partitions that hold 100 days of readings. Changing the storage interval to two minutes extends the storage capacity to 201 days. The sampler does not have to be running a program to store readings. When the sampler is on, it stores readings at the selected data storage interval. Once the partition is filled, the readings roll over. When the sampler is running a program, the partitions become triggered by the programmed start time or the first enable time, whichever is later. A triggered partition continues to log readings at the selected interval, but will not replace any readings taken after the trigger event. The sampler fills the partition and then stops recording to preserve the data. The first reading preserved in a full partition is one hour before the trigger event. A full partition can be reset by starting another program or changing storage parameters. If you need continuous readings for analysis, be sure to collect the readings before the partition fills or rolls over to avoid gaps in the data.
5-43
5.21 Pressurized Lines
The sampler can obtain samples from pressurized lines, as long as the line pressure remains below 15 PSI (pounds per square inch). Pressures greater than 15 PSI may prevent the sampler from purging the suction line; moreover, extreme pressures can force liquid past the pump, even when the pump is not running. For more consistent sample volumes from lines under constant pressure, calibrate the samples. For information about sampling with line pressures greater than 15 PSI, contact Teledyne Isco.
5.22 Command Driven Operation
The 6712 controller can be used as a slave to an external controller. The external controller is responsible for determining when to take a sample, how much volume to pump, and where to put the sample. The external controller directly interfaces to the sampler via an RS-232 communications port at 2,400-19,200 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit. A comma-separated-value protocol is used by the external controller to make requests, and by the sampler to report results. Use a standard computer connect cable (see Appendix E) to connect the samplers interrogator port and the external controller. For information on serial data codes and their meanings, refer to Table 5-5 Serial Data Codes in this section. The 6712 Sampler will respond to three commands: Turn Sampler On, GET STATUS, and TAKE SAMPLE. All commands must include the instruction set. The checksum value is optional. The available commands are: 1. Turn Sampler On: STS,2,CS,582<CR> 582 is the byte-by-byte sum of the ASCII values in the string STS, 1,CS. <CR> is a carriage return signifying the end of the command. If the sampler is OFF, this command will turn it ON before returning status info. 2. Get Status: STS,1,CS,581<CR> STS,1 instructs the sampler to return the current status. CS,581 is the optional checksum value. The byte-by-byte sum of the ASCII values in the string STS,1,CS is 581. <CR> is a carriage return signifying the end of the command. 3. Take Sample: BTL,2,SVO,100,CS,1039<CR> The TAKE SAMPLE command is only valid if the sampler is WAITING TO SAMPLE. BTL,2 instructs the sampler to place the sample in bottle 2. SVO,100 instructs the sampler to take a 100 ml sample.
5-44
6712 Portable Sampler Section 5 Extended Programming CS,1039 is the optional checksum value. The byte-by-byte sum of the ASCII values in the string BTL,2,SVO,100,CS, is 1039. <CR> is a carriage return signifying the end of the command. 5.22.1 Command Driven Sampler Responses The 6712 Samplers response string is the same for each of the three commands. A sample response string is shown below: MO,6712,ID,2424741493,TI,35523.50000,STS,1,STI,35523.4187 5,BTL,2,SVO,100,SOR,0,CS,xxxx<CR> Note that the samplers response is a series of alphabetical and numerical pairs. The alphabetical characters are headings that describe the following numerical value or code. A complete description of each pair is listed below. MO,6712, is the model number of the sampler. ID,2424741493, is the samplers unique identification number. TI,35523.50000, is the samplers current time. STS,1, is the samplers current status. The possible states are: 1 = WAITING TO SAMPLE. 4 = POWER FAILED (for short time after power is restored). 5 = PUMP JAMMED (must be resolved before continuing). 6 = DISTRIBUTOR JAMMED (must be resolved before continuing). 9 = SAMPLER OFF. 12 = SAMPLE IN PROGRESS. 20 = INVALID COMMAND. identifier code is not supported. bottle requested is not in current configuration sample volume requested is outside its range (10 - 9990 ml) day (Set_Time) must be 5 digits and more recent than 1977 21 = CHECKSUM MISMATCH. 22 = INVALID BOTTLE. (bottle requested is not in the current configuration) 23 = VOLUME OUT OF RANGE. ( the sample volume requested is outside its range (10-9990 ml) STI,35523.41875, is the most recent sample time. BTL,2, is the bottle receiving the most recent sample. SVO,100, is the most recent samples volume. SOR,0, is the results of attempting the most recent sample. The possible results are: 0 = SAMPLE OK. 1 = NO LIQUID FOUND. 2 = LIQUID LOST (not enough liquid to satisfy requirements.) 5-45

S ec tion 6 S DI-12 S ondes
In order to provide you with the flexibility to use the water parameter sensors that best meet your needs, Teledyne Isco has implemented support for SDI-12 protocol. Support of this standard allows you to use SDI-12 compatible devices in conjunction with your 6712 sampler in Extended Programming mode.
6.1 SDI-12 Data Parameters
The 6712 Sampler can accept up to 16 parameters from up to ten sensors with SDI-12 addresses from 0 - 9 (refer to chart in Figure 6-1). This data can be used in different ways. Data can be logged at user selectable time intervals for later download and processing by Teledyne Iscos Flowlink program. You can set up sampling programs that will be enabled to run only if conditions based on parameters monitored by the connected SDI-12 devices are met. The sampler can also be programmed to take samples each time certain parameter limits are exceeded. The data parameters used by the sensing device (sonde) and recording device (sampler) must match. Otherwise, the equipment could record the data values for one parameter as anothers, such as reporting a pH value as being temperature. Certain vendors sondes (such as Hydrolab and YSI) have enhanced commands that facilitate plug and play setup. These Teledyne Isco Ready sondes can tell the 6712 what values they have, their order, and units of measure. Other SDI-12 compatible sondes can be used, but require manual setup to identify proper data types for each data value reported. This section shows you how to set up both Teledyne Isco Ready and other SDI-12 sondes for use with the 6712.
WARNING
SDI-12 Sondes have not been approved for use in hazardous locations as defined by the National Electrical Code.
CAUTION
Before you install any sonde, you must take the proper safety precautions. Refer to Appendix C in the back of this manual. Additional safety considerations may be required. Check applicable guidelines, codes, and regulations of federal, state, city, and county agencies.

6.2 Scanning For Sondes
You must be in Extended Programming to use a sonde with the 6712. The sampler can automatically scan for the presence of sondes if you enable that option: From the main menu, select OTHER FUNCTIONS. Select HARDWARE. As you press to move through the hardware screens, you will see one that looks like the following:
NO SDI-12 SONDE AUTO SDI-12 SCAN OFF
Select NO SDI-12 SONDE to scan for sondes. If one is found, you can set it up, and the AUTO SDI-12 SCAN option will be switched to yes. Select the AUTO SDI-12 SCAN option to manually turn on (or off) automatic scanning for sondes when the sampler is turned on. If a sonde has already been connected and set up, the hardware screen will instead display a screen similar to the following:

1 SELECT ADDRESS OF SONDE TO SETUP: __ __ DONE
If the 6712 scans for sondes and finds one that is Teledyne Isco Ready, it will automatically recognize the sondes data types and units. You can then use Hardware options to setup the definitions for data storage and calibrate the sonde. Even with a Teledyne Isco Ready sonde, the 6712 may find a parameter that is not on its list of supported parameters (Figure 6-1). It can still work with such a parameter. Such a parameter will be identified as something like 05DATA1 and you will have to mentally associate the appropriate data type with that label. However, once such data is brought into Flowlink, data sets can be manually changed so that reports show the appropriate labels.
Select the address you want to set up.

Wait a few seconds for the above display to disappear, or press .

You will then be asked if you want to store the parameter data. Refer to SONDE SETUP - STORING PARAMETER DATA on page 6-4.
6.4 Other SDI-12 Sondes
If you have connected an SDI-12 sonde that is not Teledyne Isco Ready, you will need to define the sondes data values. When you select the address of the sonde you want to set up (see screens in the margin), the company model and other information will be displayed along with the number of data values the sonde has. When you advance to the next screen (see #3 below), the data types will be listed as OTHER because you have not defined them yet. Move between the data types using the arrow keys. Select one to change by pressing . A list of possible parameters will be displayed (see #4 below). Use the arrow keys to move through the options. When the one you want is blinking, press .

6.5 Sonde Setup - Storing Parameter Data
Whether you are using a Teledyne Isco Ready sonde or other SDI-12 compatible sonde, you will need to tell the 6712 if you want to store all of the parameter data or data from selected parameters. Data is stored in memory partitions. A fixed amount of memory is available to store data. If you are using some parameters to simply trigger an event or enable condition, it is not necessary to store the data. If all of the parameters data will fit in memory, you will be asked if you want to store all of the parameter data. Answering NO will still allow you to selectively store parameter data; otherwise, all data will be stored. You will be asked to store parameter data during the setup process. You can also manually change the setup using options in the Hardware menu. To access the setup option in the Hardware menu, select Other Function from the main menu, then choose Hardware. Advance through the screens until you see one that displays SDI-12 DATA.

6712 Portable Sampler Section 6 SDI-12 Sondes Select this screen to display the following:
NO SDI-12 SONDE SETUP KNOWN SONDES SCAN SDI-12 SONDES
Select SETUP KNOWN SONDES and then indicate the address of the sonde you want to setup. A screen containing the sonde model and number of data values will appear briefly. Then you will be asked to verify, parameter by parameter, what data you want to store. The screens will look similar to the one below:
SONDE 5, STORE TEMPERATURE DATA? YES NO LABEL IS: TEMP5
Indicate if you want to store the data for that particular parameter and then advance through the rest of the parameter screens. Once you have defined your data storage options, select DONE. You will be prompted that you have entered a new hardware setup and asked if you want to erase the stored data. Indicate YES or NO. A partition memory status message will be displayed and (if a parameter exists that can be calibrated) you will then advance to the calibration screen (refer to SONDE CALIBRATION AND VALIDATION on this page). If you do not want to calibrate or validate, select DONE to return to the Hardware Options screens.
6.6 Sonde Calibration and Validation
It is recommended that calibration of your sonde be done in the lab, according to manufacturers recommendations. However, for your convenience, the 6712 allows for field calibration of pH, Dissolved Oxygen (DO), and Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP). Field calibrations are stored in the sampler, NOT the sonde, and are used to modify readings from the sonde until a new sonde is connected. When a sonde is moved to another sampler, it will retain calibration constants set in the lab, but will not retain any that were set in the field. Although field calibration is limited to three parameters, you can validate any of the available parameters. Validation allows you to immerse the sonde in a known solution, note the readings, and see if the sonde is functioning properly. The validation process does not modify any readings like calibration does; it merely alerts you to inaccurate ones. No data will be stored, nor will enable conditions be updated, while calibrations or validations are being performed.

6712 Portable Sampler Section 6 SDI-12 Sondes 6.6.1 The Calibration Screens To access the calibration screens from the main menu, select Other Functions, Hardware. Advance through the screens until you see one that displays SDI-12 DATA. Select this screen to display the following:
Select SETUP KNOWN SONDES and then select DONE. You will see a screen similar to the following that will list the parameters you can calibrate.
SELECT PARAMETER TO CALIBRATE: pH5 DO5 ORP5 DONE
The sondes address will appear after the parameter (such as pH0 and pH5). If you have multiple sondes attached, use the arrow key to select the correct one to calibrate. Depending upon the parameter you selected, a series of screens will be displayed to step you through the calibration process. pH - You will be given the choice of three different pH solutions: 4.00, 7.00, and 10.00. After making your selection, rinse the probe and place in the pH buffer. If the reading is off by more than 0.5 pH units, you will asked to verify if the reading is correct. DO - For dissolved oxygen, you can choose between two methods: DO Standard and Saturation. The saturation method requires a temperature reading between 0.0 and 47.0 C. You will also need to enter your altitude and barometric pressure. ORP - You will asked to enter the value of your calibration standard. When calibration is complete, select DONE to proceed to the validation screen. If you do not want to validate any parameters, select DONE again to return to the Hardware options screens. 6.6.2 The Validation Screen The validation screen appears after you select DONE on the calibration screen. It will be similar to the screen shown below.

S ec tion 7 Remote Operation
The 6712 controller can be operated remotely from external devices. External controlling devices may be a computer via RS-232 serial communications or a telephone via touch-tone comm a n d s. R e m o t e t e l e p h o n e o p e r a t i o n r e q u i r e s t h e factory-installed 2400 baud talking modem.
Note
The internal modem cannot be installed in a controller with the analog output option also installed.
7.1 Computer Operation
The 6712 controller can be operated from a remote location using a computer. There are two different levels of computer control: Menu control is used to start and stop the current sampler program (or programs if in Extended programming mode) and to access other menu commands. This level of remote operation relies on the sampler program for much of its capabilities. External program control ignores the samplers program and current state. Using external control, you can turn on the sampler, take a sample, and request sampler status data. The pump, distributor, and serial data output simply respond to the external commands. To operate the sampler remotely on either level, you must first establish RS-232 serial communication between the computer and the 6712 controller. To do so: 1. Connect your computer to the 6712 controllers interrogator port with a standard interrogator cable, P/N 60-2544-044 (for 9-pin serial ports). 2. On your computer, open a terminal emulator program such as HyperTerminal, and configure it for: baud rate of 19,200 or less no parity 8 data bits 1 stop bit VT100 terminal emulation 3. Using your communications software, connect to the sampler. Press and hold the question mark (?) on the computer keyboard until the sampler returns its banner string. A caret (>) prompt will appear on the screen when the sampler is ready to accept commands.

7-2
Table 7-1 6712 Remote Menu Commands

Menu Command Description
0 or START 1 or RUN1 This command will immediately start any program set to WAIT FOR PHONE CALL and currently waiting for the remote start command (see Section 4.6). This command will load Program 1 as the samplers current Extended program, reset partition if the storage interval has been changed, and run the program. RUN1 is valid when the sampler is in standby, or when it is waiting for a start command. RUN1 will also run the current program while in Standard programming. These commands will load the selected program number as the samplers current Extended program, reset partition data if the storage interval has changed, and run the program. They are valid when the sampler is in standby, or when it is waiting for a start command. The commands are available for Extended programming only. This command is similar in functionality to a pin F low signal (a signal typically used to enable or disable the sampler from a flow meter). At run time, the sampler starts with the sampler in the enabled state. DISABLE is valid while a program is running. If successful, a display of REMOTE ENABLE IS FALSE will be returned. A Remote Disable is the highest priority disable. If the sampler is disabled with this command, no condition other than menu command 6, ENABLE, will allow the program to become enabled again. 6 or ENABLE This command is used to re-enable a disabled sampler. ENABLE is valid while a program is running. If successful, a display of REMOTE ENABLE IS TRUE will be returned.
2 or RUN2 3 or RUN3 4 or RUN4 5 or DISABLE
7 or TAKE_SAMPLE This command causes the sampler currently running a program to take a sample. The sample will count as one of the programs samples and is placed in the current bottle (Part As current bottle when using two-part programming). TAKE_SAMPLE is valid while the program is running, after the start time, but not while in the MANUAL PAUSE screens. If successful, a response similar to PUMPING XXML SAMPLE INTO BOTTLE ## will be returned. If not, a response similar to NO SAMPLE, PROGRAM WAITING START will be returned. ST or STATUS SD or SCREEN_DUMP This command causes the sampler to return its status information and current parameter data. This command causes the sampler to return the information currently displayed on the samplers screen. The remote screen follows the samplers display as the information is updated. This mode can be used to observe from a remote location while the sampler is programmed on-site. This command causes a sampler currently running a program to enter the MANUAL PAUSE menu. While you are connected in this mode, the sampler keypad becomes disabled, and your computers keypad will be redirected to simulate the sampler keypad. The following keys will be activated: <Enter>, decimal point, and number keys. <Esc>, S, or s = STOP. <Backspace>, L or l, and U or u = Left/Up arrows. R or r, and D or d = Right/Down arrows.
P or PAUSE
Sampling reports
You can retrieve the sampling reports at any time using the same serial connection. Type Q to exit the menu. Then at the > prompt, type REPORT and press Enter. The sampler controller will send reports as configured.
7-3
6712 Portable Sampler Section 7 Remote Operation 7.1.2 External Program Control Under external program control, the sampler operates according to received commands. An external program can be as simple as manually entered commands to collect a sample when needed, or as complex as a user-developed process control program (for SCADA or other systems) that directs sample collection according a systems needs. The 6712 controller will respond to four commands: Turn on the sampler Take a sample Send status Send data Note that commands and responses are comma-separated pairs. The first set of alpha-characters is an identifier; the second set of numeric characters indicates the value. The 6712 controller will not receive and process the command unless it is followed by a carriage return. Turn on the sampler If the sampler is OFF, the sampler responds by placing itself in the ON state and returning a status string to report the new status. (See Send Status for a description of this string.) The command to turn the sampler ON and return status is: STS,2<CR> Take a Sample This directs the sampler to take a sample. The command specifies how much volume to take, and which bottle to place the sample in. The sampler responds by taking a sample and returning a status string that reports the new status. An example of a command to take a sample is shown below: BTL,2,SVO,100<CR> This example instructs the sampler to place the distributor arm over bottle 2 (BTL,2) and take a 100 ml sample (SVO,100). While most settings of the sampler program (start times, enables, distribution schemes, etc.) are ignored when responding to external commands, the sampler does rely on two program settings that configure the sampler. These settings are: Number of Bottlesis used to determine the distributor arm position and the acceptable range for the BTL values. Suction Line LengthUsed with liquid detection to deliver correct sample volumes according to the SVO value.
7-4
6712 Portable Sampler Section 7 Remote Operation Send Status This command causes the sampler to return a data string that identifies the controller and lists its current status. The command to send current status is: STS,1<CR> The status is received as pairs of comma-separated identifiers and values. A complete description of each pair is listed below. MO,6712, is the model number of the sampler. ID,2424741493, is the samplers unique ID number. TI,35523.50000, is the samplers current time, shown in a date-time format based on the number of days since 00:00:00 1-Jan-1900, and the time shown as a fraction. The possible states returned by the STS,1 command are: 1 = WAITING TO SAMPLE. 4 = POWER FAILED (for short time after power is restored). 5 = PUMP JAMMED (must be resolved before continuing). 6 = DISTRIBUTOR JAMMED (must be resolved before continuing). 9 = SAMPLER OFF. 12 = SAMPLE IN PROGRESS. 20 = INVALID COMMAND. Possible causes may be: identifier code is not supported. bottle requested is not in current configuration sample volume requested is outside its range (10 - 9990 ml) day (Set_Time) must be 5 digits and more recent than 1977 21 = CHECKSUM MISMATCH. (see Optional checksum on page 7-8) 22 = INVALID BOTTLE. (bottle requested is not in the current configuration) 23 = VOLUME OUT OF RANGE. (the sample volume requested is outside its range (10-9990 ml) STI,35523.41875, is the most recent sample time. BTL,2, is the bottle that received the most recent sample. SVO,100, is the most recent samples volume. SOR,0, is the results of attempting the most recent sample. The possible results are: 0 = SAMPLE OK 1 = NO LIQUID FOUND 2 = LIQUID LOST (not enough liquid) 3 = USER STOPPED (using the Stop Key) 4 = POWER FAILED 5 = PUMP JAMMED

Note
For commands that are not understood (INVALID COMMAND or CHECKSUM MISMATCH) or when no samples have been taken, the most recent bottle information is left off the response string. Send Data This command causes the sampler to return the Send Status appended with data from any module, rain gauge, or SDI-12 device. Refer to Table 7-2 to interpret the returned string.

6712 Portable Sampler Section 7 Remote Operation Optional checksum Optionally, commands to the sampler can be validated using a checksum. Checksum validation can avoid problems caused by faulty program control or communication lines. When using the checksum, add the CS identifier and a comma at the end of the command, and the checksum value of the string up to the last comma. For example, the command with checksum validation to turn the sampler on would appear as: STS,2,CS,582<CR> The numeric value of each character is its ASCII equivalent expressed in decimal format. The checksum of 582 was calculated as shown below.

7.2 Telephone Commands
6712 controllers equipped with an internal voice modem can be operated using telephone commands. This factory-installed option includes a 12 ft (3.6 m) modem cable. After connecting to the sampler from a touch-tone telephone, command numbers may be entered from the telephones keypad, followed by the # (pound) button. The commands are listed in Table 7-4. To use telephone commands: 1. Dial the samplers telephone number. When the sampler connects, it answers with Teledyne Isco Sampler Site [number]. If the sampler does not receive a touch-tone command in five seconds, it assumes that a computer modem has called and initiates the modem connect sequence. If this occurs you must hang up and try again. 2. Enter the command. For example, to run program 1, press 1 # . 3. If the command is valid for its current state of operation, the sampler responds with [command number], please acknowledge. If the command is not valid the sampler responds with the command number followed by three quick beeps. Enter a valid command. 4. Acknowledge the valid command by pressing the number. For the example, press 1 . 5. If the number is incorrect, the sampler responds with your entry followed by three quick beeps. You must re-enter the command (step 2). 6. After the command is confirmed, the sampler replies with [command number] acknowledge and executes the command. To enter additional commands, repeat steps 2 through 5. The sampler will hang up after ten seconds of quiet time.

This section describes how to maintain and troubleshoot your 6712 sampler. If you think your unit requires repair, or if you have questions concerning its operation or maintenance, contact Teledyne Iscos Technical Service Department: Phone: (800) 228-4373 (402) 464-0231 FAX: (402) 465-3022 E-mail: [email protected]
8.1 Maintenance Checklist
Inspect the pump tube for wear. Replace it if necessary. Clean the pump tubing housing. Change the suction line if necessary. Clean the bottles, suction line, strainer and pump tube. Check the humidity indicator. Check the controllers internal battery status and replace the battery every five years. If the keypad label has bubbles under it, the air inside the controller has expanded. To release this pressure, unscrew the flow meter cable or connector cap on the back of the controller. Push down on the label to force the air out, then re-tighten the cable connector or cap.
8.2 Cleaning Guidelines

8.2.1 Controller, Top Cover, Center Section, Retaining Ring, and Tub Clean the top cover, center section, retaining ring, and tub with warm soapy water or by spraying them with a hose. Avoid using a high-pressure hose to clean the controller, especially around the control panel. Extreme pressures may force water past the control-panel seal. When cleaning the controller and top cover, cap the connectors at the back of the controller tightly. Keep a power source connected to the power-source connector, or replace the protective cap (shipped with the sampler) over the power source connector, to protect the pins from moisture damage. Make sure the two pump drain holes (located on the bottom right-hand side of the pump, beneath the pump band) are open and free of debris or buildup. 8.2.2 Sample Bottles The sample bottles have a wide mouth to facilitate cleaning. Wash them with a brush and soapy water, or use a dishwasher. You can autoclave the glass bottles.
8-1
6712 Portable Sampler Section 8 Maintenance 8.2.3 Suction Line, Pump Tube, and Discharge Tube Clean the suction line, pump tube, and discharge tube by placing the end of the suction line in a cleaning solution and pumping it through the delivery system. Rinse with clean water. If these items are severely contaminated, discard them. For critical sampling applications, refer to the following sections. Clean the strainer with a brush and soapy water. Clean sampling equipment is essential for valid laboratory analysis. Teledyne Isco recommends that you develop cleaning protocols in consultation with a laboratory analyst when designing the monitoring program. For example, to clean sample bottles, suction line, and pump tubes, Lair (1974) suggests these protocols used by USEPA Region IV Surveillance and Analysis field personnel engaged in NPDES compliance monitoring. The protocols are based on U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Publications EPA-600/4-77-039 (Sampling of Water and Wastewater by Dr. Phillip E. Shelley). 1. One spectro-grade acetone rinse. 2. Dishwasher cycle (wash and tap water rinse, no detergent). 3. Acid wash with at least 20 percent hydrochloric acid. 4. Dishwasher cycle (wash and tap water rinse, no detergent). 5. Replace in covered Teledyne Isco tubs. 8.3.2 Vinyl Suction Line Use new suction line for each new sampling setup, therefore, no cleaning is required. Use PTFE suction line when sampling for organic compounds. 8.3.3 Teflon Suction Line 1. Rinse twice with spectro-grade acetone. 2. Rinse thoroughly with hot tap water using a brush, if possible, to remove particulate matter and surface film. 3. Rinse thoroughly three times with tap water. 4. Acid wash with at least 20 percent hydrochloric acid. 5. Rinse thoroughly three times with tap water. 6. Rinse thoroughly three times with distilled water. 7. Rinse thoroughly with petroleum ether and dry by pulling air through the line. 8. Dry overnight in a warm oven (use an oven temperature of lower than 150 F), if possible. 9. Cap ends with aluminum foil. 8.3.4 Teledyne Isco Pump Tube 1. Rinse by pumping hot tap water through the tube for at least 2 minutes. 2. Acid wash the tube by pumping at least a 20 percent solution of hydrochloric acid through the tube for at least 2 minutes.
8.2.4 Strainer
8.3 Cleaning Protocols for Priority Pollutants

6712 Portable Sampler Section 8 Maintenance 3. Rinse by pumping hot tap water through the tube for at least 2 minutes. 4. Rinse by pumping distilled water through the tube for at least 2 minutes.
Note
For critical sampling applications, consider replacing the suction line, pump tube, and discharge tube. Replacement eliminates the possibility of any cross contamination from previous sampling sites.
8.4 Maintenance Screens
When you select OTHER FUNCTIONS from the main menu, and then select Maintenance, the following screen will be displayed:
Using these options, you can set the samplers time and date, set the number of pump counts for the pump tube warning, reset the battery warning for the internal battery, and run a set of diagnostic tests for troubleshooting purposes. 8.4.1 Set Clock Entering Times and Dates
ENTER TIME AND DATE: HH:MM DD-MON-YY __:__ __-__-__
Teledyne Isco ships samplers from the factory with the clocks set to the correct Central Standard Time. Reset the clock when installing the sampler in a different time zone, for daylight savings time, or when needed. When setting the clock and calendar, use a 24-hour clock for times and the day-month-year format for dates. The illustration at the left shows blanks for each position that accepts an entry. The positions are called fields. When this screen appears on your sampler, the fields will contain the samplers current settings for the time and date. To move from one field to another without changing the setting, press the arrow keys. Use this technique when you want to change only one or two settings. Change the setting by typing a new number. Press to accept the new setting. For example, to enter 2:00 p.m. (2:00 p.m is 14:00 on a 24-hour clock), type 14. Press . Next, type 0 (zero) for the minutes, and press . To enter a date, such as January 22, 2001, type: 22 01 01 .

8.4.2 Pump Tube Alarm
The sampler tracks the pump counts in both the forward and reverse cycles with a resettable counter. When the counter reaches the default count of 1,000,000 or the count you have e ntere d, the sa mp le r d is p lay s a m ess ag e, WA RN IN G ! REPLACE PUMP TUBE. The message appears each time you turn the sampler on or run a program until you reset the counter. After replacing the pump tube (see page 8-8), reset the count to zero so the sampler can begin tallying the pump counts for the new tube. Replacing the pump tube does not reset the counter. Experience may suggest a significantly different pump tube life. You can change the alarm count to represent the pump tube life for your application. The example below shows how to set the alarm count and reset the pump counts.

8.4.4 Diagnostics
The sampler has several self-diagnostic tests that check the memory (both the RAM and ROM), pump, and the distributor arm position. It also contains screens that let you reset the samplers program settings and memory to factory settings. You do not need to run the diagnostic tests on a routine basis. The diagnostic tests are a troubleshooting tool; Teledyne Iscos Customer Service department staff may ask you to run these tests when they work with you in diagnosing problems with your sampler. Access the diagnostic screens by selecting Other Functions from the main menu, then Maintenance, and Diagnostics. The unit will automatically test the memory and display; you can choose whether it tests the pump and distributor, and whether it reinitializes the unit to its original factory settings.

You should see the test pattern illustrated in the screen. If the pattern does not match the illustration, the display or its circuitry require repair. Pump Test Screen 4 lets you start the pump test by selecting YES. As the sampler runs the test, it first runs the pump forward for a short period. Next, it displays an ON/OFF ratio number. After displaying the forward pumping ratio, the sampler reverses the pump to obtain a purge ratio. The acceptable range is between 0.80 and 1.25. If either ratio is outside the acceptable range, the pump requires repair. You do not need to pump liquid while running the test, and you can run the test with or without a tube in the pump.
8-7
CAUTION
Tests indicate that the pump produces sound levels in excess of 85db at one meter. Prolonged exposure to this sound level could result in hearing loss and requires the use of protective ear plugs. Distributor Test The distributor test is provided for factory personnel to verify the distributors position as it rotates through the 24 positions. (screens 9 through 11). The distributor arm flexes slightly when it contacts the stop, and the sampler measures this flexure. The sampler uses this measurement to position the arm accurately over each bottle. Reinitialize Controller The sampler allows you to reset all the program settings to the settings shipped with the sampler (screen 12). Reinitializing also clears the memory that stores the samplers event log and module data. Use this option cautiously.
8.5 Replacing the Pump Tube
Replace the pump tube only with Teledyne Iscos 6712 pump tubing. Other pump tubes will not work. The 6712 pump tubing is easily recognized by the blue alignment collars. Improper pump tubes include those made for Teledyne Iscos other samplers (3700, GLS, etc.) and tubing from non-Teledyne Isco vendors. Also note that the discharge tube is not the same as the pump tube. You could experience several problems if you install the wrong pump tubing: The sampler will not pump the liquid. Pump jams Inaccurate sample volumes Faulty liquid detection Inspect the pump tube periodically. Replace the tube when it cracks or appears worn. Inspect the tube frequently when the sample liquid contains a high percentage of suspended or abrasive solids.
Note
The importance of regular tubing replacement cannot be overstated. The key is to replace the tube before failure, not after. When a pump tube ruptures, grit and other abrasive debris can be driven into the pump shaft seal. Over time, this abrasive material will degrade the pump seal, jeopardizing the NEMA 4x 6 rating of the controller. Failure to maintain the pump tube may result in permanent damage to the sampler. Check the condition of the pump tube regularly and if the tube shows signs of fatigue or wear, replace it immediately. A properly maintained sampler will provide the years of reliable service that is expected of a Teledyne Isco Sampler.
8-8
6712 Portable Sampler Section 8 Maintenance 8.5.1 Checklist For Replacing Pump Tube 1. Disconnect power from the sampler.
WARNING
The pumps safety lock prevents the sampler from running the pump when the pump band is open. DO NOT tamper with the safety mechanism. The pump is extremely powerful. The pump rollers can injure you severely if the sampler activates the pump while you are working on it or inside it. Disconnect power from the sampler before replacing the pump tube. 2. Loosen the liquid detectors cover by unscrewing the black knob on top of the detector. Unlatch the pump band. (The band is the rounded metal band that holds the tube in the pump.) 3. Pull the tube away from the bulkhead fitting. Pull it from the pump and detector. 4. Clean the pump rollers and the inside of the pump band. 5. Thread the new tubing through the pump so that the tube follows its natural curve around the pump rollers. You may need to move the pump rollers to make the installation easier. 6. The blue collars on the tube help align the tube in the detector and pump. Align the tube by placing the collars in the grooves inside the liquid detector. 7. Close the detectors cover and tighten the black knob. Close the pump strap and latch it. 8. Reset the pump-tube counter. (See example in table 8-2.) 9. Take a dry grab sample to test the tube installation.
Note
To extend the pump tube life: Always use Teledyne Isco pump tubes. Install the tube properly, aligning the blue collars correctly in the liquid detectors grooves. Follow the natural curve of the tube when wrapping the tube around the pump rollers. Minimize the line rinses and sampling retries in the sampling programs Use the shortest possible suction line. Conditions that shorten tube life: Improper installation. Abrasive materials suspended in sample liquid. Frequent line rinses. Long purge cycles, such as those used with long suction lines.

8.6 Opening the Controller Case
You will need to open the controller case to gain access to: The desiccant bag that dries the controllers interior The battery that provides backup power to the controller
CAUTION
The circuit boards can be damaged from a discharge of static electricity. Always use an antistatic mat when opening the controller to protect the circuit boards. To open the case: 1. Pull the discharge tube and pump tube away from the bulkhead fitting. 2. Remove the distributor arm by unscrewing the nut that attaches the arm to the distributor shaft. DO NOT ROTATE THE DISTRIBUTOR ARM MANUALLY; THIS WILL SEVERELY DAMAGE THE DISTRIBUTOR DRIVE GEARS. 3. Remove the controller from the center section. 4. Open the case by removing the 11 screws that attach the case bottom to the case top.
Note
The case top and bottom fit together with a sealed tongue-and-groove joint. Any damage nicks or cuts to the tongue, groove, or sealing gasket prevent the case from sealing completely when you close it. Use extreme care when opening the case to avoid damaging the joining surfaces. Refer to Figure 8-3 for the location of the desiccant box. To gain access to the main circuit board and battery, remove the two distributor connectors and the EMI shield.
8.7 Replacing the Desiccant
A humidity indicator, labeled INTERNAL CASE HUMIDITY, is located to the right of the keypad. It indicates the amount of moisture present inside the control box. The paper indicator is blue when the control box is dry. The control box is a completely sealed unit. You do not need to open the control box during normal operation. The 6712 Samplers use a desiccant bag inside the controller case to prevent moisture damage to its electronic components. Thus, the humidity indicator should remain blue under normal conditions. If moisture does accumulate, the numbered areas on the indicator will turn light pink or white, starting with the area numbered 20. This indicates that the relative humidity inside the control box exceeds 20%. As more moisture accumulates, the areas numbered 30 and 40 will turn light pink or white, indicating relative humidities of 30% and 40% respectively.
8-11
6712 Portable Sampler Section 8 Maintenance If the 30% area of the humidity indicator turns light pink or white, open the control unit, inspect it for leaks, and replace the desiccant bag.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to reactivate the used desiccant. Reactivation may cause desiccant to leak out of the bag, causing mechanical damage inside the controller. Follow the instructions in Opening the Controller Case in Section 8.6 to open the controller. Remove the bag from the cardboard box (part #69-9003-518) at the front of the case and replace it with a fresh bag of desiccant (part #099-0002-00).

8.8 Replacing the Internal Battery

Battery Status Display
WARNING! REPLACE INTERNAL BATTERY BEFORE 17-OCT-06
A lithium battery housed inside the controller maintains power to the samplers memory when the controller is disconnected from a power source. If it discharges completely, the sampler will lose all program settings and all data stored in memory when the external power source is disconnected. The battery requires replacement every five years. The sampler keeps track of the time that has passed since the battery was installed. To view this information, select INTERNAL BATTERY from the Maintenance screen (see example at left). After 5 seconds, the sampelr asks if you have replaced the internal battery (see exapmple at left). Select YES to reset the countdown to 59 months from the current date. While replacing the battery, it is likely that the stored readings will be lost and your program will revert to the default program. Before proceeding, retrieve the stored data and record your program settings.
DID YOU REPLACE THE INTERNAL BATTERY? YES NO
Note
Teledyne Isco recommends you replace the battery every five years, as soon as the battery warning appears. To ensure that the replacement meets Teledyne Iscos specifications, use only Teledyne Isco replacement batteries. (See Appendix D, Replacement Parts.)

MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET -- September 28, 1998 SORB-IT Packaged Desiccant SECTION IV -- FIRE EXPLOSION DATA Fire and Explosion Hazard - Negligible fire and explosion hazard when exposed to heat or flame by reaction with incompatible substances. Flash Point - Nonflammable. Firefighting Media - Dry chemical, water spray, or foam. For larger fires, use water spray fog or foam. Firefighting - Nonflammable solids, liquids, or gases: Cool containers that are exposed to flames with water from the side until well after fire is out. For massive fire in enclosed area, use unmanned hose holder or monitor nozzles; if this is impossible, withdraw from area and let fire burn. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety device or any discoloration of the tank due to fire.
SECTION V -- HEALTH HAZARD DATA Health hazards may arise from inhalation, ingestion, and/or contact with the skin and/or eyes.

Appendix C General S afety Proc edures
In field installations of Teledyne Isco wastewater samplers and associated equipment, the safety of the personnel involved should be the foremost consideration. The following sections provide safety procedures for working in and around manholes and sewers. the first section offers general safety advice. The second section deals with the special problem of hazardous gases found in sewers.
WARNING
The 6712 has not been approved for use in hazardous locations as defined by the National Electrical Code.
CAUTION
Before any sampler is installed, the proper safety precautions must be taken. The following discussions of safety procedures are only general guidelines. Each situation in which you install a flow meter varies. You must take into account the individual circumstances you are in. Additional safety considerations, other than those discussed here, may be required.
C.1 Practical Safety Precautions
The following procedures are those used by Black & Veatch, a respected consulting firm, and are published here by permission. Field personnel must keep safety uppermost in their minds at all times. When working above ground, rules of common sense and safety prevail. However, when entering manholes, strict safety procedures must be observed. Failure to do so could jeopardize not only your own life, but also the lives of other crew members.
C.1.1 Hazards
There are many hazards connected with entering manholes. Some of the most common hazards are: Adverse Atmosphere The manhole may contain flammable or poisonous gases or the atmosphere may be deficient in oxygen. orced ventilation may be necessary. Deteriorated Rungs Manhole steps may be corroded and not strong enough to support a man. It may be difficult to inspect the rungs because of poor lighting. Traffic Whenever manholes are located in the traveled way, barricades and warning devices are essential to direct traffic away from an open manhole. Falling Objects Items placed near the manhole opening may fall and injure a worker in the manhole.
C-1
6712 Portable Sampler Appendix C General Safety Procedures Sharp Edges Sharp edges of items in or near a manhole may cause cuts or bruises. Lifting Injuries Unless proper tools are used to remove manhole covers, back injuries or injuries to hands or feet may result. C.1.2 Planning Advance planning should include arrangements for test equipment, tools, ventilating equipment, protective clothing, traffic warning devices, ladders, safety harness, and adequate number of personnel. Hasty actions may result in serious injuries. Time spent in the manhole should be kept to a minimum. [Refer to Table C-1, Hazardous Gases, at the end of this appendix.] Before workers enter a manhole, tests should be made for explosive atmosphere, presence of hydrogen sulfide, and oxygen deficiency. Combustible or toxic vapors may be heavier than air, so the tests on the atmosphere must be run at least 3/4 of the way down the manhole. Whenever adverse atmosphere is encountered, forced ventilation must be used to create safe conditions. After the ventilating equipment has been operated for a few minutes, the atmosphere in the manhole should be retested before anyone enters the manhole. When explosive conditions are encountered, the ventilating blower should be placed upwind to prevent igniting any gas that is emerging from the opening. When a gasoline engine blower is used, it must be located so that exhaust fumes cannot enter the manhole. If testing equipment is not available, the manhole should be assumed to contain an unsafe atmosphere and forced ventilation must be provided. It should never be assumed that a manhole is safe just because there is no odor or the manhole has been entered previously. C.1.4 Entering Manholes Since the top of the manhole is usually flush with the surrounding surface, there may not be anything for the person who is entering the manhole to grab on to steady himself. Persons who are entering manholes should not be permitted to carry anything in their hands as they enter the manhole, to ensure that their hands will be free to hold on or grab if they slip. A good method for entering a manhole is to sit on the surface facing the manhole steps or ladder, with the feet in the hole and the arms straddling the opening for support. As the body slides forward and downward, the feet can engage a rung, and the back can rest against the opposite side of the opening. If there is any doubt about the soundness of the manhole steps, a portable ladder should be used. A person should never enter a manhole unless he is wearing personal safety equipment, including a safety harness and a hard hat. Two persons should be stationed at the surface continuously while anyone is working inside a manhole, to lift him out if he is
C.1.3 Adverse Atmospheres
C-2
6712 Portable Sampler Appendix C General Safety Procedures overcome or injured. One man cannot lift an unconscious man out of a manhole. The persons stationed at the surface should also function as guards to keep people and vehicles away from the manhole opening. To avoid a serious injury, a person should not be lifted out of a manhole by his arm unless it is a dire emergency. When more than one person must enter a manhole, the first person should reach the bottom and step off the ladder before the next one starts down. When two men climb at the same time, the upper one can cause the lower one to fall by slipping or stepping on his fingers. C.1.5 Traffic Protection In addition to traffic cones, markers, warning signs, and barricades, a vehicle or a heavy piece of equipment should be placed between the working area and oncoming traffic. Flashing warning signals should be used to alert drivers and pedestrians. Orange safety vests should be worn by personnel stationed at the surface when the manhole is located in a vehicular traffic area. All loose items should be kept away from the manhole opening. This applies to hand tools as well as stones, gravel and other objects. Manhole covers should be removed with a properly designed hook. Use of a pick ax, screwdriver, or small pry bar may result in injury. A suitable tool can be made from 3/4-inch round or hex stock. Two inches of one end should be bent at a right angle and the other end should be formed into a D-handle wide enough to accommodate both hands. Even with this tool, care must be exercised to prevent the cover from being dropped on the toes. The 2-inch projection should be inserted into one of the holes in the cover, the handle grasped with both hands, and the cover lifted by straightening the legs which have been slightly bent at the knees. Other precautions which should be taken when entering a manhole are: Wear a hard hat. Wear coveralls or removable outer garment that can be readily removed when the work is completed. Wear boots or nonsparking safety shoes. Wear rubberized or waterproof gloves. Wear a safety harness with a stout rope attached. Do not smoke. Avoid touching yourself above the collar until you have cleaned your hands.

C.2 Lethal Atmospheres in Sewers
The following is an article written by Dr. Richard D. Pomeroy, and published in the October 1980 issue of Deeds & Data of the WPCF. Dr. Pomeroy is particularly well known for his studies, over a period of nearly 50 years, in the field of the control of hydrogen sulfide and other odors in sewers and treatment plants. He has personally worked in a great many functioning sewers. In the earlier years he did so, he admits, with little knowledge of the grave hazards to which he exposed himself. It is gratifying that the subject of hazards to people working in sewers is receiving much more attention than in past years, and good safety procedures are prescribed in various publications on this subject. It is essential that people know and use correct procedures. It is less important to know just what the hazardous components of sewer atmospheres are, as safety precautions should in general be broadly applicable, but there should be a reasonable understanding of this subject. It is disturbing to see statements in print that do not reflect true conditions. One of the most common errors is the assumption that people have died from a lack of oxygen. The human body is able to function very well with substantially reduced oxygen concentrations. No one worries about going to Santa Fe, New Mexico, (elev. 2,100 meters), where the partial pressure of oxygen is equal to 16.2% (a normal atmosphere is about 21%) oxygen. When first going there, a person may experience a little shortness of breath following exercise. People in good health are not afraid to drive over the high passes in the Rocky Mountains. At Loveland Pass, oxygen pressure is 13.2% of a normal atmosphere. At the top of Mt. Whitney, oxygen is equal to 12.2%t. Many hikers go there, and to higher peaks as well. After adequate acclimation, they may climb to the top of Mt. Everest, where oxygen is equal to only 6.7%.
C-4
6712 Portable Sampler Appendix C General Safety Procedures The lowest oxygen concentrations that I have observed in a sewer atmosphere was 13 percent. It was in a sealed chamber, near sea level, upstream from an inverted siphon on a metropolitan trunk. A man would be foolish to enter the chamber. Without ventilation, he might die, but not from lack of oxygen. It seems unlikely that anyone has ever died in a sewer from suffocation, that is, a lack of oxygen. Deaths have often been attributed to asphyxiation. This is a word which, according to the dictionary, is used to mean death from an atmosphere that does not support life. The word has sometimes been misinterpreted as meaning suffocation, which is only one kind of asphyxiation. In nearly all cases of death in sewers, the real killer is hydrogen sulfide. It is important that this fact be recognized. Many cities diligently test for explosive gases, which is very important, and they may measure the oxygen concentration which usually is unimportant, but they rarely measure H2S. Death has occurred where it is unlikely that there was any measurable reduction in the oxygen concentration. Waste water containing 2 mg per liter of dissolved sulfide, and at a pH of 7.0, can produce, in a chamber with high turbulence, a concentration of 300 PPM H2S, in the air. This is considered to be a lethal concentration. Many people have died from H2S, not only in sewers and industries, but also from swamps and from hot springs. In one resort area, at least five persons died from H2S poisoning before the people were ready to admit that H2S is not a therapeutic agent. Hardly a year passes in the U.S. without a sewer fatality from H2S as well as deaths elsewhere in the world. The presence of H2S in a sewer atmosphere is easily determined. A bellows-and-ampoule type of tester is very satisfactory for the purpose, even though it is only crudely quantitative. When using a tester of this type, do not bring the air to the ampoule by way of a tube, as this may change the H 2 S concentration. Hang the ampoule in the air to be tested, with a suction tube to the bulb or bellows. Lead acetate paper is very useful as a qualitative indicator. It cannot be used to estimate the amount of sulfide, but it will quickly turn black in an atmosphere containing only a tenth of a lethal concentration. Electrodes or other similar electrical indicating devices for H2S in air have been marketed. Some of them are known to be unreliable, and we know of none that have proved dependable. Do not use one unless you check it at frequent intervals against air containing known H2S concentrations. A supposed safety device that is unreliable is worse than none at all. Remember that the nose fails, too, when it comes to sensing dangerous concentrations of H2S. Various other toxic gases have been mentioned in some publications. It is unlikely that any person has been asphyxiated in a sewer by any of those other gases, except possibly chlorine. The vapor of gasoline and other hydrocarbons is sometimes present in
C-5
6712 Portable Sampler Appendix C General Safety Procedures amounts that could cause discomfort and illness, but under that condition, the explosion hazard would be far more serious. The explosimeter tests, as well as the sense of smell, would warn of the danger. Pipelines in chemical plants might contain any number of harmful vapors. They, too, are sensed by smell and explosimeter tests if they get into the public sewer. Such occurrences are rare. The attempt to instill a sense of urgency about real hazards is diluted if a man is told to give attention to a long list of things that in fact are irrelevant. Be very careful to avoid high H 2 S concentrations, flammable atmospheres, and hazards of physical injuries. Remember that much H2S may be released by the stirring up of sludge in the bottom of a structure. Obey your senses in respect to irritating gases, such as chlorine (unconsciousness comes suddenly from breathing too much). Be cautious about strange odors. Do not determine percent oxygen in the air. There is a danger that the result will influence a man's thinking about the seriousness of the real hazards. Most important, use ample ventilation, and do not enter a potentially hazardous structure except in a good safety harness with two men at the top who can lift you out.
