CAUTION: Never perform remote sampling
with the PhD Ultra without the sample probe
assembly. The sample probe handle contains
replaceable filters designed to block moisture
and remove particulate contaminants. If the
pump is operated without the probe assembly in
place, contaminants may cause damage to the
pump, sensors and internal components of the
PhD Ultra.
The sample draw pump includes a unique pressure
sensor designed to protect the PhD Ultra from
exposure to water or other liquids. If there is a
change in pressure in the sample draw assembly
due to fluid intake, the pump immediately shuts
down. After a few seconds audible and visual
alarms indicating a low flow condition will also be
activated.
CAUTION: Insertion of the sample draw tube
into a fluid horizontally or at a low angle may
lead to water ingress and may cause damage to
the PhD Ultra.
The pressure sensor in the sample draw pump is
designed to detect changes while the sample-draw
probe is being held in a vertical position. If the
probe is held horizontally or at a low angle when
inserted into a fluid, a pressure drop sufficient to
cause the pump to shut down may not be generated,
and water could be drawn into the pump assembly.
In order to avoid potential damage, care must be
taken to keep the probe vertical any time fluids
might be present.
2.4.2.1 Using the continuous sample draw pump
(1) Turn the PhD Ultra on.
Figure 2.4.2.1.1. Sample draw pump and probe
assembly
(2) Connect the slip-on battery operated pump with
the hose and probe assembly as shown above
in Figure 2.4.2.1.1.
Figure 2.4.2.1.2. PhD Ultra with sample drawing
pump attached
(3) Slip the pump onto the PhD Ultra as shown
above in Figure 2.4.2.1.2.
(4) Make sure the pump is securely attached. (You
should hear a solid “click” as the pump housing
catch engages with the edge of the sensor grill
cover.)
(5) The pump will turn on automatically when
properly attached to the PhD Ultra.
(6) Cover the end of the sample draw probe
assembly with a finger. If there are no leaks in
the sample draw kit components, the pump
should go into a low-flow alarm and shut down,
and the audible and visual low flow alarms
should be activated. A message screen will
identify that there is a low pump flow condition.
A second screen will advise you to remove the
blockage and press “mode” to resume
operation.
Failure to test the pump and
sample draw kit prior to each use may result in
inaccurate readings.
(7) Insert the end of the sample probe into the
location to be sampled.
(8) Wait long enough for the pump to have drawn
the sample through the entire length of hose,
and for the sensors to have stabilized. (Allow
one additional second for each foot or three
seconds for each meter of sample hose.)
Failure to correctly follow the
usage instructions for the pump sample draw kit
may lead to inaccurate readings.
(9) Note gas measurement readings
