INTEGRATING WATER SAMPLER IWSIII

Integrating Water Sampler IWS III

Depth or time integrated water sampling made easy

ABOUT

The Integrating Water Sampler IWS III is a light and handy instrument for the acquisition of summing (integrated) water samples according to the EU-WFD (European Water Framework Directive). The integrated sample is automatically achieved in one single draft.There is no need for repeated operations of standard water samplers, followed by mixing procedures. The sampling technique is very simple. An electric motor actuates a piston inside a transparent tube. A microprocessor controls the sampling procedure according to the pre-selected depth, time or spot scenario. A built-in high precision pressure sensor cares for accurate depth measurements. Power supply of the sampler is made by rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, using the safest chemistry currently available.

FEATURES

Bluetooth connection to the hand unit and PC

Long-distance telemetry via electromechanical cables

SAMPLING IS MADE EASY WITH THE IWS III

Select a sampling mode via hand unit or PC without connecting any cable.

Enter the requested depth or time interval.

Put the sampler into the water and lower it to desired depth – the sample will be precisely aspirated according to the selected scenario.

Recover the sampler after the end of the selected depth, time or spot scenario.

Extract the sample by opening the hose clamp located at the bottom of the sampler.

Repeat the scenario by simply pressing the quick-start key.

2.5 L and 5 L capacity

Maximum depth 100m/1,000m
