Every syringe has a corresponding pawl and vertical
bar; once loaded it holds the syringe’s piston in closed
position.
When the programmed software reaches the first time
set, the motor moves one-step forward, releasing a
single syringe. The arm “A” releases the syringe by
pushing the pawl to a side, so the spring-loaded bar
pulls the syringe’s piston backwards allowing a sample
to be taken.
4
The syringes is loaded one by one, by pushing the
holder downwards; at the same time turn the pawl to
hold the bar in its lower position.
5
Three syringes have been loaded so far.

still in unloaded position.
Programming
7
Connect the 5-conductor cable from the motor to the
battery cylinder.
Charge the battery inserting the 8-conductor cable to
the Battery Charger connector. A fully discharged
battery requires charging for 8-10 hours, approx. The
charger contains advanced electronics preventing
overcharging even if connected for a long time.
The Subconn connectors requires to be greased with
Molykote, see recommendations on page 7-10.
The photo shows the programming plug (to the left)
and a dummy for the Subconn connector (optional).
8
The tablet comes with pre-installed software for the
programming. Once charged replace the charger cable
with the USB cable and connect to USB on the tablet.
9
Run the KC program on the tablet’s desktop.
10
The software detects the hardware and the label “PLC
Connected” (located at the screens lower, left corner)
turns green.

If “PLC Connected” turns red, there is no connection.
Follow these instructions:
1. Disconnect USB cable and battery supply if
connected.
2. Close Program on tablet.
3. Connect USB cable to tablet and KC timer.
4. Click the KC icon on tablet.
12
Assuming the connection is correct you are now ready
to program the individual delays.
Click on the icon “Read Settings”
13
The sampler has a short delay of 1 min. for the first
sample. If delay for sample 1 is set to “0”, the sampler
starts immediately after the delay.
If you estimates that, the deployment to the desired
depth takes 5 minutes you may enter the value “5”.
All remaining samples may have various delays
between every sample. You can enter an individually
delay in the range of 1 min. to 600 hours for every
sample but keep in mind, that the battery capacity
may be insufficient for very huge delays which may be
repeated several times.
14
For a sampler having 24 syringes you must click the
icon “Rosette 17-24” for adding the remaining delays.
15
When programming is finished, press button “Send
New Settings”
16
Once you are ready to deploy the sampler, start the
time lapse trigger by inserting the programming plug.
