Campbell PVS4100C User manual

COMPONENTS
PVS4100C and PVS4100D
Portable Automatic Liquid Samplers
Biggest,
Fastest Pump
Vacuum technology
for better samples
Overview
The PVS4100C and PVS4100D are deluxe, portable water samplers
that use ac power with a backup battery. The PVS4100C is a com-
posite sampler that deposits its water samples into a 9 L bottle;
the PVS4100D is a discrete sampler that deposits its water samples
into up to 24 containers. These samplers have a bigger pump than
our other portable water samplers allowing them to support the
fastest sampling rates and longest sampling distances.

Benets and Features
Rapid transport velocities of samples (horizontal draws 76.2 m
(250 ft) at 0.8 m s-1 (2.5 ft s-1), meaning more accurate samples,
even of solids
Controller housed in an environmentally sealed enclosure for
corrosion protection, and all information is easily controlled
and viewable on a 2 by 16 character backlit LCD
Composite or discrete models available
Side handles for easy lifting (increases diameter)
Interfaces with Campbell Scientic dataloggers for more
measurement and control capabilities
Stainless-steel suspension harness* available for sampling
in sewer systems
Handcart* available for easy transport

Vacuum Pump
The PVS4100C and PVS4100D samplers use an external vacuum
pump to draw water through intake tubing, instead of the tra-
ditional peristaltic pump that induce ow by squeezing exible
tubing. Because the vacuum method disturbs the water samples
less, they better represent the original water solution, especially
if the solution has high concentrations of suspended solids. To
prevent cross contamination, the samplers use air pressure (up
to 28 psi) to purge the tubing of excess water. See our vacuum
pump water samplers in action at:

Controller/Interfacing with a Datalogger
The PVS4100C and PVS4100D include a programmable controller
with 16-key intuitive touch pad. The controller can accept a pulse
input (e.g., rain gage), a 4 to 20 mA signal (e.g., ow meter), or
initiate a sample on a timed basis. See a demonstration of the
programmable controller at:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRr80Lm-5Hs
The sampler can also be interfaced with our dataloggers. Our
dataloggers can measure nearly any turbidity, water level, or
hydrometeorologic sensor, as well as control the sampler based
on time, event, or measured conditions.
