Product overview
The pressurized sampling relay module has a high-voltage relay for automatic sample collection from
a pressurized sample line. The module also has low-voltage connections for optional flow pacing and
sampler program control (Figure 1). The module can be used with a portable, refrigerated or an All-
Weather Refrigerated Sampler (AWRS) that has the AS950 controller. The user must decrease the
sample pressure to less than 69 kPa (10 psi) and supply power to the relay. Refer to Figure 2 and
User-supplied equipment on page 7.

User-supplied equipment
Refer to Figure 2 on page 6 for an overview of the plumbing, mechanical and electrical parts that
must be supplied by the user. Make sure that the equipment agrees with local, regional and national
requirements.

• Junction box and cables—Connects to mains power, the ball valve and the relay module.
• Pressure reducer/regulator—Decreases the sample line pressure to less than 69 kPa (10 psi). Use
a pressure regulator that has the applicable requirements for the size of the input sample line, the
input pressure and the sample type. The manufacturer recommends Watts Series SS-263AP M1,
21 to 345 kPa (3 to 50 psi).
• Pressure relief valve—Makes sure that the pressure in the sample line is not too high. Use a tool-
adjustable pressure relief valve with sufficient discharge capacity so that the sample pressure
cannot be more than 103 kPA (15 psi).
• Motorized three-way ball valve—Connects the flow from the pressurized sample line to the
sampler inlet and then to the drain for automated sample collection. Refer to Table 1 for the ball
valve requirements.

Wiring for pressurized sampling

The high-voltage relay connects to the user-supplied equipment for pressurized sampling as shown
in Figure 2 on page 6.
Wiring requirements:

• Only use 4.3 to 11.4 mm (0.17 to 0.45 inch) diameter cable.

• Use cable with a minimum insulation rating of 300 VAC and a minimum wire size of 0.823 mm2
(18 AWG).
• Make sure that the cable jacket is correct for wet outdoor locations.
• Do not install the wiring in conduit.
• Review the relay specifications in Specifications on page 3.

1. Prepare the wires as shown in Figure 5.

2. Install the wires to the TB2 block as shown in Figure 5 and Table 2. Tighten to 0.40 Nm (3.5 inch-
pound).
3. If more than 25.4 mm (1 inch) of the cable jacket is removed, install a plastic wire tie around the
wires. Install the wire tie at a maximum distance of 19 mm (0.75 inch) from the terminal. Refer to
Figure 5.
4. Tighten the cable strain relief sufficiently to keep the environmental rating of the enclosure.
5. Install the cover. Make sure that the screws are tight to keep the environmental rating of the
enclosure.

Wiring for flow pacing

CAUTION
Electric shock hazard. Install low voltage wiring only on the right side of the high-voltage barrier. Do not
mix high and low voltage wiring.

The sampler can connect to a flow device to collect samples at specified flow-volume intervals. When
the auxiliary port on the sampler is in use for pressurized sampling, connect the flow device to the
low-voltage connections in the module. The electrical signal from the flow device can be a pulse
signal, contact closure or 4–20 mA current. Do not connect more than one signal type.
Cables that connect to the TB1 terminal block and are longer than 3 meters (10 ft) must have a
shield. Connect the cable shield conductor to protective earth ground. To prevent an earth ground
loop current, connect the shield only at one end of the cable. For more information, refer to the
shield/drain signal description in Table 3 on page 16.
Only use a 1.31 to 0.13 mm2 (16 to 26 AWG) wire.

CAUTION
Electric shock hazard. Install low voltage wiring only on the right side of the high-voltage barrier. Do not
mix high and low voltage wiring.

The sampler can connect to a device to start, stop or continue sample collection when an electrical
signal is received from the device. The device can be another sampler or measurement device such
as a pH probe. When the auxiliary port is in use for pressurized sampling, connect the device to the
low-voltage connections in the module. Use a simple switch to supply the electrical signal.
Cables that connect to the TB1 terminal block and are longer than 3 meters (10 ft) must have a
shield. Connect the cable shield conductor to protective earth ground. To prevent an earth ground
loop current, connect the shield only at one end of the cable. For more information, refer to the
shield/drain signal description in Table 3 on page 16.
Only use a 1.31 to 0.13 mm2 (16 to 26 AWG) wire.

Plumb the sampler

DANGER
Multiple hazards. Only qualified personnel must conduct the tasks described in this section of the
document.

DANGER
Potential Electrical shock and fire hazards. The drain line must be connected to a drain system that is
at ambient pressure.

Plumbing guidelines:

• Install the plumbing as near to the sample source as possible.

• Make the intake tube as short as possible.
• Keep the intake tube at a maximum vertical slope so that the tube fully drains between samples.
• Make sure that the intake tube is not pinched.
• Make sure that the drain lines are at zero pressure.

1. Refer to the installation documentation for the applicable sampler to connect the tubing to the
sampler.
2. Connect the tubing from the sampler to the ball valve. Make sure that the inlet tubing is above the
ball valve so that the sample drains fully. Refer to Figure 2 on page 6.

Pressurized sample precautions for an AWRS

DANGER
Electrical shock hazard. If a pressurized sample line is plumbed to an All-Weather Refrigerated
Sampler (AWRS) that has a compartment heater, a sample leak can cause sufficient water to collect
under the cover to touch the heater. Make sure there are no blockages in the center cable slot of the
AWRS so that leaks can drain.

For an AWRS with a compartment heater, make sure that a sample leak under the cover can drain.
Remove the foam plug or cable from the center cable slot. Refer to Figure 12.

3 All mains powered equipment that connects to the module terminals must be NRTL listed.

 WARNING
Biological hazard. Obey safety handling protocols and wear all of the personal protective equipment
required when handling an instrument that may have come in contact with biological hazardous
materials. Wash and decontaminate the instrument with a disinfectant soap solution and rinse with hot
water before maintenance or shipping.

Clean the instrument

Clean the exterior of the instrument with a moist cloth and a mild soap solution and then wipe the
instrument dry as necessary.

Replace the fuse

DANGER

Electrocution hazard. Always remove power to the instrument before making electrical connections.

WARNING

Fire hazard. Use the same type and current rating to replace fuses.

1. Remove the cover.

2. Remove the fuse from the fuse holder. Refer to Figure 1 on page 5.
3. Install a new fuse of the same type and current rating. Refer to Specifications on page 3 for the
fuse rating.
4. Install the cover.

Pump maintenance
It is important to keep the sampler pump and tubing in good condition to prevent leaks from the
pressurized sample.

• Do not operate the pressurized sampling relay during tubing or pump maintenance.
• For an AWRS that has a compartment heater, obey the precautions in Pressurized sample
precautions for an AWRS on page 17.

1. Close the valve in the high-pressure sample line to stop the flow of the pressurized sample.
2. Disconnect the auxiliary cable from the relay module to the sampler.
3. Complete the pump maintenance instructions in the sampler documentation.
4. Connect the auxiliary cable from the relay module to the sampler.
