BLZZRD Safety
Information
The Teledyne ISCO BLZZRD Transportable Sampler is a
“definite purpose” device, intended for use only with compatible
Teledyne ISCO equipment. Do not use this product with any
other manufacturers’ equipment, or for any other purpose. Use
for any purpose not described in this manual could cause per-
sonal injury or property damage.
Electrical Requirements The sampler requires 12 VDC at 6 Amperes. The DC power input
is through the controller back panel 12V input ports. The
primary power port (3-pin) takes priority over the secondary
power port (2-pin). If power is removed from the primary port,
the se c on d ary port will be engaged after a momentar y
switch-over period, resuming normal operation. Battery back-up
configurations should connect the battery to the secondary input.
If only one 12V source is connected, it should be connected to the
primary port.
The Teled yne ISCO-supplied DC connect cables provide
over-current protection through the use of an in-line 8A, 32V
fuse. The sampler may also be powered by 90 to 264 VAC, 47 to
63 Hz, 2 Ampere power source using the attached AC line cord.
The internal AC power supply is protected by an internal 4A
250V input fuse. Additionally, the controller circuitry is protected
by an internal 5.0 ampere PTC (Positive Temperature Coeffi-
cient) device.
WARNING
Electrocution hazard. Never manipulate electrical switches
or power connections with wet hands or when your feet are
in contact with water.
WARNING
AC electrical power must meet the applicable electrical
code requirements for your installation and must be
provided with an earth ground connection. If necessary,
consult with a certified electrician to ensure that AC power
is provided in accordance with the local electrical code.
AC Powered BLZZRDs The AC power cord of this device is equipped with a three-prong
grounding plug designed to mate with a grounded power outlet.
Grounding minimizes the possibility of electrical shock.
It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that the AC power source
is properly grounded. If in doubt, have the outlet checked by a
qualified electrician.
If the available AC power outlet only accepts two prongs, or if it
is determined that the outlet is improperly grounded, the outlet
must be replaced by a qualified electrician before attempting to
power this device.
WARNING
Never modify the AC power cord or use a three-prong to
two-prong adapter.
