Extraordinary Flexibility in a Compact Unit
WS 98 Wall-Mount Sampler
The WS 98 is a compact sampler for indoor applications that do not require cooling. It features the same range of functions as larger, stationary samplers.
- Typical WaterSam quality and performance in a compact package
- Housing made of high-value 316Ti stainless steel as standard; well suited for use in demanding environments
- Compatible with all WaterSam sampling systems; even as a douple sampler for sampling from two different points
- Suitable for refitting existing samplers (including those from other manufacturers); optionally with connections such as cooling, etc.
- Can be combined with a commercially available refrigerator for low-cost cooling of composite samples
- Optional XY Distributor in a support frame for discrete sample distribution to a variety of bottle combinations
- Optional rinsing of complete sampling line with clean water


Controller
WaterSam controllers feature user-friendly operation and reliability. Both controller types not only enable to the activation of programs at the same time, they can be also run simultaneously.
Custom software modifications can easily made upon request.

Standard Controller
The standard WaterSam controller is suitable for a wide variety of applications. Its 4-key user interface is easy to operate, and yet it offers the possibility of running up to 9 sampling programs at the same time. In addition, the standard controller has multiple menu levels, enabling the user to set a code that restricts access to certain menus. The 4 analog inputs and 10 digital inputs enable time-, volume-, flow-, and event-proportional sampling.
A built-in RS-232 serial port permits communication with external devices. With an optional modem, even remote control is a possibility.

MS3
The WaterSam MS3 controller offers user-friendly operation in addition to a range of communications possibilities and the ability to retrieve data from internal and external sources.
Despite the wide-ranging possibilities available, sampler operation is very user-friendly thanks to the 24 keys and large graphic display. Color-coded direct function keys serve to start, pause and stop selected programs. A grab sample can be taken simply by pressing the blue key.
Intelligent sensors can be connected directly to the controller, without the need for a transmitter. If desired, a variety of data can be accessed and retrieved via a USB port.
Sampling Systems
Depending on conditions and requirements, samplers are available with diverse sampling systems:
Sample Distribution
Direct Bottle Filling with Numerous Possibilities
Our XY Distributor system has been in use successfully for nearly 20 years. Its wide array of possibilities, reliable operation and minimal follow-up costs have made it the distributor of choice among our customers. The two-axis system makes full use of the entire sample storage chamber by using coordinates to travel and locate bottle positions.
