6. Figure 5 3 Variable volume scenario 5 10 2 Calculations when Using an External Flow Meter SAMPLE VOLUME 10 ml FOR EVERY PULSES 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 ofthe range you should know the least expected flow volume that will pass the flow measurement point e 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 mi Tor every Buses Minimum Required Vol 10 ml per unit From the scenario we can apply the factors for the equation 500 000 gallons 100 gallons per pulse 3 000 10 ml 10 ml for every 16 7 pulses 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 cal culate the number of pulses or volume at this low end you should know the greatest expected flow volu

10. Figure 5 2 Factors affecting flow weighted variable volume samples 5 20 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 NHs 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 Avalanche Portable Refrigerated Sampler Section 5 Extended Programming 9400 ml 666 667 gal 3000 500 000 gal

18. Mgal 0 001 99999 Because the sampler is more closely integrated with the 700 Series flow 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 2100 and 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 intervals are determined by the flow instrument s program set tings for trigger pacing When conditions change and readings pass the set point trig gering 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 Help 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 pac

A _ MINUTE DELAY 1 999 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 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

ONE is selected the sampler clears the stored data and reformats the memory partitions The sampler then dis plays 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 730 Bubbler Module and a rain gauge storing data at 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 par tition 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 pa
