Connect a Sigma 950 or FL900
If sample pacing is flow based, supply the controller with a flow input
signal (pulse or 4–20 mA). Connect a Sigma 950 or an FL900 Flow Logger to the
AUX I/O port.
As an alternative, connect a flow sensor to a sensor port. Refer to Connect a
sensor on page 19. Item to collect: Multi-purpose auxiliary full cable, 7 pin
- Connect one end of the cable to the flow meter. Refer to the flow meter documentation.
- Connect the other end of the cable to the AUX I/O port on the controller.
Connect a non-Hach flow meter
To connect a non-Hach flow meter to the AUX I/O port, do the steps that
follow. Items to collect: Multi-purpose auxiliary half cable, 7 pin
- Connect one end of the cable to the AUX I/O port on the controller.
- Connect the other end of the cable to the flow meter. Refer to Figure 11 and Table 1.
Note: In some installations, it is necessary to connect external equipment to the Pulse input, Special output and/or Program Complete output with long cables. Since these are ground-referenced pulse interfaces, false signaling can be caused by transient ground differences between each end of the cable. High ground differentials are typical in heavy industrial environments. In such environments, it may be necessary to use third-party galvanic isolators (e.g., optocouplers) in line with the affected signal(s). For the Analog input, external ground isolation is typically not necessary because the 4–20 mA transmitter typically supplies isolation

3 | Pulse input or Analog input | Orange | This signal is a sample collection |
trigger from the flow logger (pulse or4–20 mA) or a simple floating (dry)
contact closure.| Pulse input —Reacts to a positive pulse with respect to
pin 2. Termination (pulled low): pin 2 through a series1 kΩ resistor and 10 kΩ
resistor. A7.5 zener diode is in parallel with the 10 kΩ resistor as a
protection device. Analog input —Reacts to the analog signal that enters
pin 3 and returns on pin 2. Input burden: 100 Ω plus 0.4 V; Input current
(internal limit): 40 to50 mA maximum6Absolute maximum input: 0 to 15 VDC with
respect to pin 2.Signal to make the input active: 5 to 15 V positive-going
pulse7 with respect to pin 2, 50 millisecond minimum.
4| Liquid level input or Auxiliary control input| Black| Liquid level
input —Start or continue the sampling program. A simple float level switch
can supply input. Auxiliary control input — Start a sampler after the
sampling program on another sampler ends. As an alternative, start a sampler
when a trigger condition occurs. For example, when a high or low pH condition
occurs, the sampling program starts.| Termination (pulled high): internal +5 V
supply through an 11 kΩ resistance with a series 1 kΩ resistor and 7.5 V zener
diode terminated to pin 2 for protection. Trigger: High to low voltage with a
low pulse of 50 milliseconds minimum.Absolute maximum input: 0 to 15 VDC with
respect to pin 2. Signal to make the input active: external logic signal with
5 to 15 VDC power source. The drive signal must be typically high. The
external driver must be able to sink0.5 mA at 1 VDC maximum at the logic low
level.A logic high signal from a driver with a power source of more than 7.5 V
will source current into this input at the rate of: I = (V – 7.5)/1000 where I
is the source current and V is the power supply voltage of the driving
logic.Dry contact (switch) closure:50 millisecond minimum between pin 4 and
pin 2. Contact resistance: 2 kΩ maximum. Contact current: 0.5 mA DC maximum

Clean the rotor
Clean the rotor, pump tube tracks and pump housing with a mild detergent.
Refer to Replace the pump tubing on page 21 and the illustrated steps that
follow.
Replace the distributor arm tube
The distributor arm moves over each bottle during multiple bottle sampling.
Replace the tube in the distributor arm when the tube is worn. Make sure that
the correct tube is used for the correct distributor and distributor arm.
Note: The distributor tubing is not the same as the pump tubing. The pump tubing installed in the distributor assembly can damage the distributor. Also, samples can be missed because the distributor arm cannot move easily
- Remove the tube from the distributor arm and from the ceiling of the sampler cabinet.
- Insert the new tube into the distributor arm. Extend the tube past the end of the distributor arm 4.8 mm (3/16 in.) or 19 mm (3/4 in.) as shown in item 1 of Figure 15.
- Insert the other end of the tube into the fitting on the ceiling of the sampler cabinet.
- Complete the diagnostic test for the distributor to make sure that the operation is correct.
