Minimum Required Parts
Before installing any Module, make sure you have at least the following components:
- SmartSampler – Core control unit
- Module – Specific Module you like to use
- Power Supply – 12VDC, battery, or a similar power source
Optional Components (Recommended for Specific Applications)
Depending on your sampling requirements, you may also need:
- Pumps, Sensors, …
- Sample Container – Syringe, bag, or other suitable vessel
- Tube-to-Luer Lock Fitting – For secure sample connections
- Tubings
- Additional Accessories – As needed for specific setups
Ensure all components are properly sized and compatible.
Preparing for Installation
Before installing any Module, follow these preparation steps to ensure a smooth deployment and optimal performance:
- Inspect for Damage: Check the unit for any signs of damage. Verify that all screws, connectors, and seals are intact.
- Check Seals and Connections: Ensure that all O-rings, gaskets, and cable seals are properly seated and undamaged to maintain the weatherproof rating.
- Clean the System (if necessary): If the Module has been stored for a long period or used in a previous deployment, run a clean cycle to remove any residual contaminants.
- Power and Communication Check: Test the power connections and communication ports to confirm proper operation before placing the unit in the field.
- Firmware Update (Optional): Check if the SmartSampler2 is running the latest firmware version for improved functionality and stability.
- Site Assessment: Ensure the installation site is suitable for the Module, including proper mounting options, adequate power supply, and sufficient protection from physical impacts.
- Pre-Deployment Test (if required): When installing any Module for the first time, we recommend setting up the system in the lab under conditions that are as close as possible to the planned deployment. Replicating factors such as cable or tubing lengths, mounting height or orientation, and any expected environmental or mechanical constraints helps ensure that the Module performs as intended once installed. This approach allows you to verify operation, adjust settings, and avoid unexpected behavior in the field.
