SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
DANGERS: NEVER apply AC voltages directly to the EXTERNAL POWER INPUT receptacle on the front
panel. The application of AC voltages can result in injury and death of the operator and
destruction of the unit. Use only the AC/DC Universal Power Supply/Converter supplied
with the unit to power unit from an AC source.
NEVER short or connect the terminals of the battery terminals together. Shorting of the
battery terminals causes rapid internal heating of the battery resulting in the explosion of
the battery and severe injury to or the death of the operator.
The AC/DC Universal Power Supply/Converter is rated for INDOOR USE ONLY. DO NOT use
the AC/DC Power Supply/Converter in an outdoor environment to either charge the battery
or power the drive. Electrical shock, severe injury and/or death are possible if this warning
is ignored.
DO NOT BURN OR INCINERATE THE BATTERY. THE BATTERY MAY EXPLODE CAUSING
SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH OF THE PERSONNEL IN THE AREA. (Dispose of the old battery
by recycling.)
CAUTIONS: Do not reverse the connections to the battery. If the battery connections are reversed,
damage to the unit will occur.
Fully charge the unit before using for the first time. Damage to the internal battery can result
if the battery is in a fully discharged state and operation of the unit is attempted.
Immersion or submersion of the unit will result in improper operation and possible damage to
the unit.
Use of pump heads, tubing sizes and formulations other than those specified in this manual,
or the mounting and use of two or more pump heads concurrently will result in improper
operation and possible damage to the unit.
WARNINGS: Tubing breakage may result in fluid being sprayed from the pump. Use appropriate measures
to protect the operator and equipment.
Turn drive off, remove all the power to the unit, including the AC/DC Power Supply/Converter,
Automotive Power Adapter or other external power source if present before removing or
installing pump head or tubing. This will help prevent accidental activation of the drive
mechanism so fingers or loose clothing will not get caught in the pump drive mechanism.

INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION
GENERAL
The Masterflex®E/S™Composite Sampler is a DSP controlled,
portable, self-contained, programmable peristaltic pump
system designed to meet EPA, NPDES guidelines for the
sampling of storm and waste water.
The Masterflex®E/S™Composite Sampler as shown in Figure
1, consists of an exterior housing, a controls console which
contains the internal power source, pump drive system and
system controls, a Masterflex®L/S®Easy-Load®peristaltic
pump head and a sealed and vented sample reservoir. The
drive system is capable of operating one Masterflex®L/S®
Standard®, L/S®Easy-Load® or L/S® PTFE pump head.
The Masterflex®E/S™Composite Sampler is current limited,
protected from reverse power supply polarity and transient
voltages.
You may operate the Masterflex®E/S™Composite Sampler on
the internal battery, an external 12V DC source or indoors
using the 115V AC or 230V AC with the AC/DC Universal
Power Supply/Converter supplied with the unit.
The system features a built-in spill-proof gel battery and
recharging system allowing the unit to be recharged from an
AC power source using the supplied AC/DC Universal Power
Supply/Converter or from an automotive 12V DC electrical
system if used with the Automotive Power Adapter accessory.
It is designed and programmed to accept, control and power
one Masterflex®L/S®Easy-Load®, Standard or PTFE Tubing
pump head for fluid transfer and sampling in the field.
The unit is housed in a high visibility, protective polyethylene
housing. The control panel and the drive controls have an
environmental protection rating of IP56.
When closed and latched, the drive will float for a minimum of 30
minutes if dropped into a lake or stream to allow recovery of the unit.
SUCTION LIFT
The Masterflex®E/S™ Composite Sampler is capable of lifting
a sample of water up to twenty-five (25) feet vertically. This
capability is called suction lift and is measured from the
surface of the liquid to the pump head.
If the liquid to be sampled has a viscosity or density greater
than water, this lifting capability is reduced or diminished.
This lifting capability is also diminished as altitude above
sea level increases.
SCOPE OF THE MANUAL
This manual contains instructions for installing, setting up,
programming, operating and maintaining the sampling
system. It is intended for use by technicians and operators
as well as maintenance personnel. The TROUBLESHOOTING
section contains a list of possible problems, their probable
causes, and actions to take to remedy each problem.
Instructions for replacing user-serviceable parts and a list of
parts that can be ordered are included.
The ACCESSORIES section lists all available accessories for
the Masterflex®E/S™Composite Sampler.

SETUP
UNPACKING
Care has been taken in the packaging of the Masterflex®E/S™
Composite Sampler to protect it in transit to its final destination.
After opening the carton, save the packing material until proper
product operation has been verified.
The Masterflex®E/S™Composite Sampler consists of the
following items:
(1) Sampling Unit
(1) AC/DC Universal Power Supply/Converter
(1) Sample Line Tubing Connector
(2) Keys for the locking latches
(1) 25 feet of Masterflex®L/S®24 size peroxide-cured
silicone tubing
(1) Operator's Manual CD
(1) Warranty Card
ASSEMBLING
Unit is shipped fully assembled and plumbed with Masterflex®
L/S® 24 size silicone peroxide-cured tubing. The operator only
needs to connect an external sample line using the supplied
tubing connector into Sample Line Inlet bulkhead connector
shown in Figure 2.
TUBING SELECTION
The flow rate at which a sample can be taken is dependent
on the tubing size, tubing material and the height the sample
must be raised to enter the sample reservoir. The purity of
the sample is dependent on the formulation of the tubing
material. The Composite Sampler is supplied with L/S®24
size tubing made of peroxide cured silicone resins. The tubing
supplied with the unit has been selected based on its purity
versus flow and lift performance. Optimum lift and flow
performance can be had by using Tygon®LFL or Lab tubing.
See Table 1 for other tubing materials and sizes available for
operation with the Composite Sampler.
INSTALLATION
SITE REQUIREMENTS
The E/S Composite Sampler is designed to operate in most
outdoor conditions. Ensure that the work area temperature
range is between 1°C to 50°C (39°F to 122°F) and that the
relative humidity remains between 10% and 90%.
Position the sampler in an upright position with the carrying
handle at the top of the case (as shown), preferably on a firm
level surface, adjacent to the source to be sampled. The
sampler may also be suspended or attached to a vertical
support using the D-rings at the top of the exterior housing.
POWER REQUIREMENTS:
The Masterflex®Composite Sampler is internally powered by a
12 V sealed gel battery. The unit may also be operated or
charged in an outdoor environment using the Automotive

FAMILIARIZATION WITH
SYSTEM FEATURES
The system has unique features with which the operator needs to
become familiar during the course of system operation. Understanding
the features will enable the operator to know if the system is
operating properly and effectively. These features are as follows:
1. Automatic Power-Up: Any time an external power source is
connected to the EXT POWER IN receptacle located on the front
of the control console, the system will power up and go through a
boot up routine or display a system message as to system status.
If no action is taken, the system will charge the battery.
2. Automatic Power Conservation: If the system is not imple-
menting an internal command or the operator has not pressed a
key on the control console for 10 minutes the system to conserve
power will POWER DOWN. The LCD display will display a message
for 5 seconds:
POWERING DOWN

8
After which the display will blank. If an external power source
is connected at the time, the battery will continue to charge
while the display is blank. If a sampling program was running
or in process at the time of power down the system will
continue to run the program. The display panel will show a
message when the unit starts to take a sample and show
the time until the next sample is to be taken. The display will
remain active for an additional 5-10 seconds before returning
to a powered down state.
If the display panel is not active, press the 0-1/STATUS key
on the control console to awaken the system.
3. Automatic Battery Charging: System will automatically
charge the internal battery any time an external power source
such as the AC/DC Universal Power Supply/Converter or
Automotive Power Adapter is plugged into the EXT PWR IN
receptacle. The rate at which the internal battery is charged
will vary with other system operations. Once the battery is
fully charged, the integral battery charging circuit will place
the battery on a floating or maintenance charge to maintain
the battery in a fully charged state.
4. Automatic Purging: The system will automatically purge
the sample intake line prior to the taking of any sample or the
occurrence of a rinse cycle. This is to ensure that the sample
inlet line is free of any obstructions or debris.
5. Glow-In-Dark Keypad: The keypad is printed with
phosphorescent pigments. These pigments will glow for up
to 20 minutes if exposed to ultraviolet radiation from the sun
or a krypton flashlight. This feature is helpful in low ambient
light conditions. The LCD display is backlightable and when
used with keys that glow in the dark, this lessens the need for
external lighting in dim and dark areas.

those currently loaded into the non-volatile memory.
Selecting a menu option or setting using the up and down
arrow keys does not load that option or setting in memory
until the ENTER key is pressed.
Settings must be modified as necessary to suit the sampling
site and equipment used. Many of these settings may use the
default values, such as pump head selection, tubing size or
formulation. Other parameters such as lift height and tubing
length or location will vary with the sampling site and will be
changed frequently.
GLOBAL SETTINGS TOUR
The tour of the GLOBAL SETTINGS menu will take the operator
through each of the menu selection display screens. Going
through the entire menu is not necessary each time a change
to one or two GLOBAL SETTINGS parameters is made. It is
recommended that you take the tour to familiarize yourself
with all of the options and screens available.

NONE—POWER SAVER
The display will not be backlit under any circumstance. This
is the default setting and is used to conserve power. If the
LCD display can be read without difficulty in the sampling
environment, then this is adequate.
BACKLIGHT ON KEY PRESS
The LCD will be backlit for 10 seconds when any key is
pressed. After 10 seconds the display will return to its normal
unlit state. This setting can be useful during programming
since it improves the readability of the display without wast-
ing power and provides backlighting during programming or
selecting menu options in low ambient light conditions.
KEY PRESS AND SAMPLING
The LCD will be backlit for 10 seconds when any key is
pressed or whenever a sample is to be taken. Ten (10)
seconds after the last key is pressed or after the sampling
cycle is completed the display will return to its normal unlit
state. This setting can be useful during programming since it
improves the readability of the display and allows monitoring
of the sampling process in low ambient light conditions.
If the Composite Sampler will be left unattended during the
sampling process this setting is not recommended.
CONTINUOUS BACKLIGHT
The LCD will always be backlit as long as the display is active.
HINT: The system's automatic power conservation feature blanks
the LCD display if no key has been pressed for 10 minutes.
Blanking of the LCD also occurs 10 seconds after the system
has taken a sample or processed an internal instruction while
running a program. See the FAMILIARIZATION WITH
SYSTEM FEATURES section on page 7.
It is recommended that you experiment with the various
backlighting options to determine your preference. You can
always return to the menu option by pressing enter once you
have made your selection and pressed enter, because the
display will change to read:
Proceeding down the menu, use the down arrow key to
navigate and select the next menu option LOG DATA and
press ENTER. The display will change to read:

choices at one time. Remember the arrow in the first column
indicates whether there are choices above or below the ones
you are viewing.
LOG DATA
The system logs all events, such as: sample location, cycle
date and time, sample volume, and any faults which may
occur during the sampling process. The system is capable of
logging 300 events. This log is stored in non-volatile memory
outside of the DSP. This log may be viewed or printed.
Viewing or printing the log does not erase or clear the log
from memory. The log may only be erased through the use of
the CLEAR LOG DATA menu option.
NOTE: should you forget to clear the logged data, the system
will begin to overwrite the oldest data first. This occurs only
once the capacity of the non-volatile memory log has been
exceeded.
VIEW LOG DATA
Allows the user or operator to view the data log. This does
not erase or clear the data log.
This is the default option for LOG DATA.
PRINT LOG DATA
Allows the printing of the data log. This menu option requires
the use of the RS 232 cable accessory catalog no. 07580-65.
See the ACCESSORY section for details. Printing of the data
log does not erase or clear the data log.

their default values.
If you have made changes to the GLOBAL SETTINGS and
lost track of the changes you have made or would just like to
start your changes from some common point, this option will
prove to be helpful. This option allows resetting of the
GLOBAL SETTINGS without having to track your changes or
remember what the default was.
To reset the GLOBAL SETTINGS you must use the up arrow
key to navigate and select RESET GLOBAL SETTINGS and
press ENTER. This confirmation of your selection to return
the settings to their default value is done to prevent accidental
or unintended changes to the global settings. Once you press
the enter key your previous changes will be lost and cannot
be recovered.
HINT: To exit the menu and return to a system ready prompt
use the cancel key.
HOT KEY
One option of the GLOBAL SETTINGS menu is also accessible
via a "Hot Key" located on the control console keypad. The
key is round, blue in color and labeled LIFT HEIGHT. This key
allows the operator to access the lift height setting in the
GLOBAL SETTINGS without going through the menu.
VIEW/ EDIT PROGRAMS
GENERAL
There are a total of 6 programs supplied with the Composite
