- Collect composite samples in container of your choice
- Comply with NPDES and State permit requirements
- Chill or refrigerate composite sample in ice chest or refrigerator
- Collect flow-proportioned composite samples
- Simplify sampling procedures to avoid operator errors and missed samples
The Sentry was designed be flexible. It can be used as a portable or fixed location, wastewater sampler. Composite may be collected simple time or flow proportioned by connecting it to a suitable flow measurement system. or simple composite sample. The addition of an ice chest or refrigerator to preserve the composite sample, gives you a low cost sampling system. Its no-nonsense design means that you don’t have to be a weight-lifter to carry it, a computer expert to program it, or have an unlimited budget to afford it.
The Sentry composites samples in the sample container of your choice, from one gallon to a 55 gallon barrel. It can also be used to feed a laboratory or pilot plants systems. The Sentry operates on either line or battery power.
How it Works:
The Sentry placed near the stream or sewer to be sampled. When installed in a manhole, the sampler is positioned above the high water level. The sample inlet line is connected to the sampler’s peristaltic (squeeze-tube) pump. The size of each sample is set with the “SAMPLE ADJUST” knob. Next, the “SAMPLES PER HOUR” switch is set to collect 1, 2, 4, or 8 samples per hour, or 1 sample every 2 or 3 hours. The FILL CYCLE Switch is set to turn the sampler off after a set period of time. Finally, the “PURGE CYCLE” switch is set to purge before, after, or both before and after sample collection -- a unique power-saving feature. All switch settings are visible and the system takes the first sample right away so you know it is working before you leave the field.
