III. PRINCIPAL OF OPERATION
A.GENERAL
A sample of liquid is delivered to the sample filtering chamber at an
approximate rate of 500 cc/minute. The excess overflows to drain.
The sample then passes through the annular space between the two
fixed electrodes in the sensing cell. As it passes, a small direct current is
generated in direct linear proportion to the amount of chemical present in
the liquid.
The surface of both electrodes is kept clean by the continuous action of
PVC spheres agitated via a motor driven rotating striker.
This constant cleaning eliminates signal drift and recalibration providing an
accurate residual measurement. A thermistor compensates for sample
temperature variations.
The residual value is displayed on the LCD display.
B.REAGENT FEED SYSTEM
Reagents are fed into the sensing cell to lower the pH to enable reliable
measurement. The sample pH is adjusted by the buffer to a range of
4.0 to 4.5 pH. When CO2 is used as a buffer, the pH will be lowered to
a range of 5.5 to 6.0 pH. The addition of potassium iodide, when used,
reacts to liberate free iodine and provides a means of measurement of
total chlorine residual. Refer to CO2 BUFFERING on page 9 for CO
operation.

1.Remove four (4) screws securing side cover and remove cover.
2.Connect input power (120 Vac standard) to N,H,G terminals.
3.Connect current output and alarm contacts.
NOTE: DO NOT RUN LINE VOLTAGE AND SIGNAL VOLTAGE
IN THE SAME CONDUIT.
V.REAGENTS
A pH buffering solution or carbon dioxide gas is required for analyzer operation.
In addition, potassium iodide solution is required when measuring other residuals
as described in the SPECIFICATIONS Section.
Fill reagent bottle with pre-mixed solution or mix reagents as follows:
NOTE: NEVER DISABLE UNIT WITHOUT REMOVING REAGENT
BOTTLE AND FLUSHING WITH CLEAN WATER UNTIL THE ENTIRE
CHEMICAL IS REMOVED.
A.Liquid Reagents for Chlorine Residual
Pre-mixed pH buffer solution is available, contact factory. OR, mix pH
buffer solution as follows:
1.For Free Chlorine Measurement:
a.Using a 2 quart (1.9-liter) bottle, fill bottle 3/4 full with
distilled/deionized water.
b.Add 460 grams sodium acetate trihydrate crystals and mix until all
the crystals are dissolved.
c.Add 900 grams or 885 cc glacial acetic acid or distilled white
vinegar.
d.Fill bottle to the top with distilled or deionized water and shake to
thoroughly mix solution and pour contents into the analyzer
reagent bottle.
2.For Total Chlorine Measurement:
Mix potassium iodide solution in a separate bottle. (Potassium iodide
crystals are available. Contact factory.)
a.Follow Steps 1.a. through 1.d. above.
b.Add potassium iodide crystals as follows:
6
ANALYZER RANGE
10 grams for 0.5 mg/l
40 grams for 2.0 mg/l
60 grams for 3.0 mg/l
100 grams for 5.0, 10, 20 and 30 mg/l
c.Shake until crystals are completely dissolved.
d.Fill bottle to the top with distilled/deionized water; shake again.
Pour contents into the reagent bottle through a fine strainer. The
bottle will provide approximately a one week supply of reagent.
B.Carbon Dioxide Gas
When using carbon dioxide for pH buffering, a carbon dioxide gas flow
rate of 200 cc per minute is required. For free chlorine measurement,
carbon dioxide is used alone, and replaces the liquid buffer . When
measuring total chlorine using carbon dioxide, it is necessary to add
potassium iodide solution in the quantities listed above, 2.b., to deionized water alone.
NOTE:For Chlorine Dioxide and Potassium Permanganate consult
factory.
VI.START-UP
A. Hold filled reagent bottle upright and pull the tapered plug upward until
the hole in cap is plugged. Turn bottle upside down and install into
reagent feeder body. The weight of the reagent bottle opens the
tapered plug and the bottle will rest on the o-ring on top of the feeder
body.
B.Start water sample flow at approximately 500 cc/minute . To drain, water
must be flowing over the overflow weir in the sample filter chamber.
The sample must be supplied continuously for reliable operation. If the
system requires occasional sample cutoff, provisions must be made to
keep the electrodes wet.
Sampling from a pressurized source may require a pressure regulating
valve to hold the flow constant. Maximum desired pressure: 5 psig (0.3
bar).
If sampling from sewage, a flushing “Y” strainer is necessary to prevent
sample line from plugging. Other types of filters are not recommended.
C.Turn the power on to the analyzer.
D.If air bubbles are present in the reagent or flow tubing, remove by
squeezing or tapping tubing or disconnecting tubing at the analyzer and
flushing momentarily.
7
E.The analyzer requires a minimum stabilization time of 24 hours. During
this time, reagents must be feeding into the cell . Under normal
circumstances, reagent level will drop approximately 1" per 24 hrs.
C. After stabilization, calibration may be required. Instruments are calibrated
at the factory; at start-up Auto Zero adjustment is necessary to
compensate for composition of the local water.
III. OPERATION
C. CLEANING
The frequency of cleaning the analyzer is greatly affected by the condition
of the water. By visually inspecting for dirt built-up, determine the need
for cleaning. The following points should be cleaned as indicated:
1.The inlet filter screen and overflow weir should be cleaned when a
2.If the analyzer becomes clogged to the point where no water is
dirt build-up is observed or when the screen has been plugged
sufficiently to stop flow.
Lift out the overflow weir and filter screen. Hold parts under a
water stream until clean and reinstall in the analyzer.
passing over the overflow weir, the analyzer must be flushed.
The overflow can be observed below the motor or by the
overflow tube directly behind the cell for flow into the drain block.
Flush as follows:
a.Turn the power switch to the OFF position.
b.Remove the flush plug in the flow tube with sample
flowing and allow to drain.
c.Install flush plug into flow tube.
d.Repeat step b (steps b and c can be repeated until
the unit is clean).
e.Turn the power switch to the ON position and resume
operation.
B.REAGENT VALVE
If the reagent feed has stopped and all air is removed from tubing, the
reagent valve (P/N 450044) must be cleaned. The feed rate of this
valve is very small, therefore, be certain the reagent has stopped before
cleaning is attempted. Check for feed by marking the reagent level on
the bottle and observing the change in level over eight (8) hours. If the
reagent level has not lowered during this test, the valve must be cleaned.
Proceed as follows:
1.Turn the power switch to the OFF position.
8
2.Stop sample flow.
3.Lift and rotate clip securing the reagent bottle. Raise
reagent bottle approximately 2” and pull down on the valve stem
until the hole in the cap is plugged. Remove reagent bottle.
4.Hold reagent bottle upright, unscrew and remove cap. Place
open bottle close to clear tubing connector at adaptor. Carefully
unscrew connector nut releasing clear tube and drain remaining
reagent from the reservoir into the reagent bottle. Screw cap onto
reagent bottle.
5.Remove flush plug to drain unit. After the analyzer is completely
drained, replace plug.
6.Loosen the four (4) screws securing the adaptor and remove
adaptor and o-ring.
7.Clean out bottom body if necessary.
8.The adaptor provides mounting for reagent valve components.
This valve consists of a starwheel, bushing, pin, o-ring, spring clip
and a screw. Loosen the screw and rotate the spring 180
degrees. Pull up on the starwheel to release the pin from
bushing. DO NOT remove bushing or o-ring. Clean all parts
under a stream of water. If the 1/16” diameter holes in the
starwheel and bushing are clogged, use a straight pin to remove
the obstruction. DO NOT scratch the mating surfaces or damage
the edge of the hole. Place starwheel and pin into bushing. Turn
the spring clip back 180 degrees to apply force to the pin.
Secure screw.
9.Place large o-ring into groove and replace adaptor. Secure, using
four (4) screws.
10.Reconnect clear tubing to connector and secure nut.
11.Invert reagent bottle on reservoir and secure using clip provided.
12.Begin sample flow as described under START-UP.
13.Turn power switch to the ON position. If air bubbles appear in
the clear reagent tubing, remove as described in START-UP.
C.GOLD ELECTRODE
Normal life of the gold electrode is three to five years. This can vary
depending upon chemical residual and the quality of water. The gold
electrode should appear clean and shiny.
NOTE: THE MEASURING CELL ASSEMBLY RETAINS 200 - 3/16”
DIAMETER PVC SPHERES WITHIN THE TOP BODY OF THE
9
ANALYZER. WHEN THIS ASSEMBLY IS WITHDRAWN, THESE
SPHERES WILL DROP OUT.
1.Refer to OPERATION, Section B and proceed with Steps 1
through 7. Remove the adapter and all reagent.
2.Disconnect the wire from the gold electrode assembly.
3.While holding a bucket under the analyzer, unscrew the gold
electrode by hand. As the assembly is withdrawn, the spheres
will begin dropping out. Hold the bucket below until all the
spheres are removed. Remove large o-ring on the electrode
assembly.
4.Inspect the condition of the gold electrode. Clean and polish with
water and clean cloth. If electrode is damaged, replace.
5.Place large o-ring in groove on new electrode assembly and
screw the assembly into the bottom body, by hand, until snug.
6.Reconnect wire to the gold electrode assembly.
7.Remove the plug located in the analyzer top body. Deposit all
spheres through the hole provided and replace plug.
8.After spheres have been deposited, rotate motor/striker
assembly by hand, checking for rubbing. The striker can be
observed below the motor. If the striker is not rotating, refer
below to Section D, MOTOR/STRIKER ASSEMBLY. Turn
power switch to the ON position.
D.MOTOR/STRIKER ASSEMBLY
Replacing the motor (Part #450039) or striker assembly (Part #450045)
can be performed more easily if the main analyzer assembly is removed
from the panel and taken to a table or flat surface.
1.Disconnect power to the analyzer motor.
2.Disconnect signal wires from the copper and gold electrodes.
3.Remove reagent from the feeder body and reagent tubing from
valve adaptor. Unscrew two screws holding the main assembly
to the panel. Place the main assembly on a table.
4.With the main assembly upright, remove the three (3) screws
holding the motor plate to the top body. Lift the motor straight up
and out of the top body.
5.Invert the analyzer assembly and dump the 200 spheres into a
container. Remove the valve adaptor. The main assembly is
now disassembled as far as required.
10
E.MOTOR REPLACEMENT
1.If the motor is to be replaced, remove the striker from the motor
shaft. Install on new motor after turning the center set screw out
approximately two (2) turns.
2.Turn the side set screw in striker until it contacts the motor shaft.
The striker should be capable of sliding onto the motor shaft when
force is applied.
3.Fit the striker on to the motor so a small space is between the top
of the striker and the motor plate. Insert motor/striker assembly
into the main analyzer assembly by pushing on the motor until the
motor plate is seated on the top body.
4.Carefully remove the motor/striker from the main assembly.
Lightly tighten the side set screw in the striker. Turn in center set
screw until contact is made with the motor shaft. Now, back out
center set screw 1/8 to 1/4 turn. Loosen side striker set screw and
push up on the motor shaft. Retighten side set screw snugly.
Reinstall the motor/striker assembly with the three (3) motor
screws.
5.Rotate the motor/striker assembly by hand checking for drag or
rubbing. The motor should turn freely by hand.
6.Insert the 200 PVC spheres and rotate motor/striker again, feeling
for drag or rough spots. If drag is present, repeat Steps 2
through 5 for adjusting the striker.
7.Reassemble to panel by reversing MOTOR/STRIKER
ASSEMBLY 1, 2 and 3.
VIII. CO2 BUFFERING
A.The CO2 diffuser replaces the pH4 buffer solution starwheel on the right
side of the analyzer. The CO2 diffuser may be placed on either side.
For total chlorine residual, the CO2 diffuser is placed on the left side of the
bottom body in place of the adaptor. Solution fed by the starwheel
assembly on the right side must be potassium iodide solution only.
B.Locate the vent tube over the analyzer drain.
C.Adjust regulator and rate valve to obtain a flow of about 0.25 ppd (44
ccm) of CO2 and check for gas leaks with soap solution. Check all tubing
connections at cylinder, regulator and analyzer and repair any leaks.
D.Set flow rate of CO2 initially at 1 ppd (175 ccm). The actual flow rate
may be adjusted. A constant pH should be maintained.
E.CO2 gas will buffer the sample water to maintain the pH level between 5
and 6. Calibration of the analyzer is unchanged.
CAUTION: Remember to turn off the CO2 cylinder anytime the
analyzer is shut down.
11
