Stationary Refrigerated Composite Vacuum Sampler Model S-5000 and S-5200

Are you losing suspended solids?
The Harris Keffer report again supports vacuum samplers. The report states: “The comparison studies indicated that the high vacuum, high liquid intake velocity samplers were more effective in capturing solid material. Although these units also produced higher concentrations of BOD and COD, the increase in the NFS was disproportionately greater. It would appear that the slower acting peristaltic and piston pump type samplers are either not capturing settleable [sic] materials or that after introduction to the intake line particle settling velocities are higher than liquid intake velocities. Another factor could be the agitation of the sample increments during collection. The greater intake velocities of those compositors, which have yielded high strength samplers, may be breaking up larger size suspended material as the aliquot passes through the sampling train and into the collection container. In the laboratory, suspension of smaller sized particle would be more amendable to extraction of representative amounts of residue with routine pipetting procedures.”

Representative Samples
Vacuum samplers have been supported in multiple tests as a superior form of sampling, providing the most representative samples. The most comprehensive and commonly cited sampling study is the Harris Keffer report. Their findings were supported in the Department of Transportation test conducted by the United States Geological Survey in Madison Wisconsin.
The Environmental Protection Agency’s Recommendation
The Harris Keffer report states: “Although the results of the sampler comparison studies are not conclusive, it is the opinion of the Field Investigations Section that high-vacuum, sampling equipment produces more representative samples. On waste sources with appreciable concentrations of large and/or heavy settleable [sic] material such as raw municipal wastewater, the section makes every effort to install a high vacuum unit when compatible with site conditions and data requirements. Since these units yield higher results, they are of advantage to treatment plants in determination of removal efficiencies.”
Suspended Solids Performance
Are you losing suspended solids? The Harris Keffer report again supports vacuum samplers. The report states: “The comparison studies indicated that the high vacuum, high liquid intake velocity samplers were more effective in capturing solid material.

Reliable
The S-5000 is one tough sampler. The rugged construction and the field-proven reliability of this system mean years and years of dependable service. S-5000 and S-5200 units in daily use routinely last over 20 years. Check out our Decade Club online.
Easy to Use
Straightforward in design, these samplers are easy to use. How often do you want a sampler that does the basic functions, but get a complicated unit that is difficult to use and requires significant training? The 5000 series provides you with time and flow-based sampling. It’s so easy that even the new guy won’t have any problems!
High Transport Velocity
Why does the EPA recommend high transport velocity? If you had a cup of water with particles settling out in the bottom, the quicker you can get that cup to your composite bottle the more representative it will be. The same is true for getting your sample volume to the bottle. The S-5000 and S-5200 both offer the high transport velocity of a Manning vacuum pump with a 5/8” line: 9.75 liters per minute!
Accurate Repeatable Volumes
If your sample volume varies, then your data in a composite sample routine will be offset. The 5000-series samplers deliver a minimum accuracy of ±0.5% of the set volume. A peristaltic sampler is affected by head height, tube wear, and other changing conditions. Vacuum samplers maintain their accuracy independent of head height and other changing conditions and do not require the costly regular replacement of tubing.
5/8-inch Intake path
A favorite of paper mills and municipal applications where the suspended solids can be a major problem; these units perform. The larger intake path and high-pressure purge keep the intake path clear.
Trouble-free Controller
Reliable from the beginning, the S-5000 and S-5200 controllers have been updated after 30 years to continue the tradition of trouble-free use. A sampler that works well, so well that it’s still very effective after 30 years, is a sampler you can rely on.
Standard Refrigerator
This optional 110 VAC refrigerator, offered in white enamel-coated or stainless steel finish, is durable and corrosion resistant. Capable of maintaining samples at the EPA-recommended 0-4° C even in high ambient temperatures, this industrial-grade refrigerator is built to handle the toughest environments. Features such as a corrosion-resistant frame and exterior, all copper refrigerant lines wrapped with asphalt cork tape to resist damaging gases, evaporation coils with corrosion-resistant finish, and a heavy-duty compressor with a fan-cooled heat exchanger, ensure reliable operation even in harsh conditions.
	S-5000 with Economy Refrigerator
Economy Refrigerator
Proudly introduced in Spring 2005, this unit is offered as an economical alternative to the standard refrigerator and can be used with the Manning S-5000 single bottle (composite) samplers. This refrigerator will maintain the EPA-recommended temperature of 0-4° C as long as the ambient air temperature is within the range of 39-110° F (3.89-43.33° C).* Aimed at single-bottle, sheltered, indoor, or protected-environment applications, this clever choice will appeal to the money-saving measures needed to survive today’s budget cuts and cost-reduction programs.
Totalizer Option
The Totalizer has been updated with a new display and new features, although it continues with the simplistic theme. The Totalizer option uses a 4-line by 20-character backlit LCD with simple on-screen menus. For accurate measurements of the 4-20-mA signal, the design incorporates a 10-bit analog to digital converter. The S-5200 allows for the use of one or two Totalizers.
Cost Over Time
Why do people pay more for quality in the beginning? For the simple reason that over time the cost is less. Low maintenance, virtual elimination of downtime, ease of use and operation, little or no required training, no consumable parts, and the over-all reliability of the product mean you continue to save money each year of ownership. With budgets shrinking and equipment costs increasing, it’s important to invest in a unit that will provide exceptional long-term value.
S-5000 and S-5200
The S-5000 and the S-5200 are manufactured from the same basic design. The S-5200 is a dual sampler, functioning as if there were two S-5000s side by side. Two independently controlled samplers operate in the same enclosure and deposit samples to separate bottles in the same refrigerator. This saves on cost if you have two sites in close proximity and saves labor to only have collection from one location.
