Chapter 1. Introduction

The Sievers* 500 RL On-Line TOC Analyzer from GE Analytical Instruments is a high-sensitivity Analyzer used to measure the concentration of total organic carbon (TOC), total inorganic carbon (TIC), and total carbon (TC = TOC + TIC) in water samples (for patent information, see the section called “Trademarks and Patents” on page 14).

The Analyzer is based on the oxidation of organic compounds to form carbon dioxide (CO

) using UV radiation.

Carbon dioxide is measured using a sensitive, selective membrane-based conductometric detection technique as described by Godec et al. (R. Godec et al., “Method and Apparatus for the Determination of Dissolved Carbon in Water,” U.S. Patent No. 5,132,094). For each TOC measurement, the concentration of inorganic carbon species

(CO

, HCO

, and CO

-2

) is determined and, after oxidation of the organic compounds, the total carbon (TC)

content of the sample is measured. The concentration of the organic compounds is then calculated from the difference between the concentrations of TC and total inorganic carbon (TIC), generally referred to simply as inorganic carbon (IC).

(TOC = TC - IC)

*Trademark of General Electric Company; may be registered in one or more countries.

Chapter 1: Introduction

The Analyzer can be used to monitor water samples ranging from high-purity water containing <0.5 parts per billion (ppb) TOC to water samples containing up to 2.5 parts per million (ppm) TOC. The Analyzer is easy to operate, with extremely low maintenance, and no special training or chemical knowledge is required. The Analyzer is calibrated at the factory, and calibration remains stable for approximately one year. For configurations with a Super iOS or Standard iOS, recalibration and validation can be easily performed at the customer’s site. Note that on configurations with a Sample Inlet Block rather than an iOS System, not all menu options may be relevant or available on your Analyzer.

This manual describes typical operational requirements and recommended procedures that are valid for most applications. Special conditions in operating environments may require modifications to the recommendations in this manual. Specific instructions provided by GEAI service or technical support personnel supersede the information provided in this manual.

Chapter 2: System Description

System Overview

The Sievers 500 RL On-Line TOC Analyzer consists of five major subsystems:

1. Sample inlet system and sample pump, including the Integrated On-Line Sampling (iOS) System or Super iOS System.

2. Oxidation reactor

3. Measurement module, comprising:

•CO

transfer manifold

• Sample conductivity cell

4. Fluidics module, comprising:

• DI (Deionized) water cartridge (including resin bed)

•DI water pump

5. Electronics subsystems, comprising:

• Microprocessors and circuit boards

• Data outputs

Chapter 2: System Description

Figure 1: Analyzer Schematic (Shown with Standard iOS)

A brief description of each major Analyzer component follows.

Sample Flow Path

The Sievers 500 RL On-Line TOC Analyzer is available in three primary configurations: with the Super iOS, offering four vial ports and on-line monitoring; with the standard iOS, offering one vial port and on-line monitoring; and with the Sample Inlet Block, offering on-line monitoring only.

Discrete samples can be measured by the Sievers 500 RL On-Line TOC Analyzer by inserting a filled 40 mL sample vial into the iOS System. Continuous monitoring is accomplished by plumbing a sample line to the inlet

Chapter 2: System Description

of the iOS System or the Sample Inlet Block. The stream splitter divides the sample stream into two equal but separate flows. One stream is processed for the measurement of IC; the other is processed for measurement of TC.

The TC stream passes to an oxidation reactor where the sample is exposed to UV light, which oxidizes the organic compounds in the sample, converting them to CO

. The reactor is a spiral quartz tube wrapped around

the UV lamp. The UV lamp emits light at 185 and 254 nm resulting in the formation of powerful chemical oxidizing agent in the form of hydroxyl radicals produced by the photolysis of water (eq. 1):

O + h (185 nm) OH· + H· (1)



The hydroxyl radicals (OH·) will completely oxidize organic compounds, converting the carbon atoms of the organic compound into CO

Organic Compounds + OH· CO2 + H2O(2)



The IC stream passes through a delay coil, which is designed to make the total transit time of the IC stream through the Analyzer the same as the transit time of the TC stream through the Analyzer.

When the TC stream exits the oxidation reactor and the IC stream exits the delay coil, each stream moves to the

transfer manifold. The CO2 transfer manifold is a patented design, utilizing a gas-permeable membrane

that allows the transfer of CO

across the membrane. The membrane separates the sample side of the Analyzer

from the DI side. The DI side of the Analyzer is a closed loop, and consists of two conductivity cells—one for the TC stream and one for the IC stream—a DI water pump, DI water reservoir, and ion exchange resin (resin bed).

from the sample passes through the membrane into the DI water supplied by the integrated DI Loop, while

interfering compounds and other oxidation by-products are blocked by the membrane and remain on the sample side. The CO2 forms carbonic acid upon reaction with water, and the carbonic acid disassociates into

hydrogen ions and bicarbonate ions:

+ H2O H2CO3  H+ + HCO

DI water is continuously pumped through the DI side of the Analyzer, collecting the H H

and CO2 molecules from the CO2 transfer modules, delivering it to the conductivity cell for measurement.

2CO3

Then the ion exchange resin removes the HCO

and H+. The water is then pumped back to the CO2 transfer

(3)

and HCO

ions and

module to repeat the sequence.

The TC and IC conductivity cells each contain a thermistor, and all conductivity readings are temperature corrected. The CO

from the TC and IC sample streams are measured by the respective conductivity cells, and

the conductivity readings are used to calculate the concentration of TC and IC. Once the values are measured, TOC is calculated as the difference:

TOC = TC - IC (4)

Chapter 2: System Description

Chapter 3: Installation

Additional Installation Equipment

To install the Sievers 500 RL On-Line TOC Analyzer, the following equipment also is required:

• Mounting hardware to support the Analyzer (see “Step 3: Select a Location for the Analyzer” on page 47)

• Insulated wire, 22-12 AWG, rated to 300 Volts for analog and alarm outputs (optional; see “Installing the Analog Outputs and Alarms” on page 49)

• Analog (4-20 mA) recorder (optional)

• Insulated wire (18-12 AWG, rated to 300 Volts) for AC power conduit (see “Connecting to a Power Supply” on page 48)

• An external circuit breaker or switch that disconnects both poles of the supply voltage, rated appropriately

• Ethernet cable (optional)

Step 2: Complete the Identification Records

Complete the Identification Records section on “Identification Records” on page 2 by recording the date of receipt and the Analyzer serial number (found on the side of the Analyzer).

Step 3: Select a Location for the Analyzer

The Sievers 500 RL On-Line TOC Analyzer is designed to be mounted on a wall or support stand. Allow a minimum of 5 cm clearance between the back of the Analyzer and the wall for heat dissipation; allow 30.5 cm of clearance on the sides, top, and bottom of the analyzer for the plumbing and electrical connections. Additionally, this clearance provides for the proper circulation for temperature and humidity control. When selecting the location, mount the Analyzer so that the display screen is approximately at eye-level. Diagrams showing Analyzer dimensions and clearances are provided in "Appendix A: Analyzer Dimension Diagrams" on page 171.

Hardware for mounting the Analyzer on a wall or instrument rack is not included in the accessories kit. Hardware should be selected based on site-specific circumstances. Mounting hardware must be able to support four times the weight of the unit; thus you should install mounting bolts capable of supporting 67.6 kg (148.8 lbs).

Avoid direct sunlight and extreme temperatures; operating at elevated temperatures greater than 40 °C (104 °F) prevents proper operation, and operating at low temperatures, 10 °C (50 °F), can cause errors in the measurements. The Sievers 500 RL On-Line TOC Analyzer withstands the hazards of industrial process environments, and the Analyzer enclosure is rated IP 45.

Chapter 3: Installation

Note:

The Analyzer accessories kit contains two adhesive clips that can be used to store the double-ended screwdriver and John Guest fitting removal tool inside the Analyzer. If you choose to use the clips, simply remove the paper backing from each clip and then firmly press the clip to the desired location inside the Analyzer. Do not attach the clips to any area that could affect analysis; place the clips inside the door or on the right bulkhead.

Step 4: Install Power and Control Wiring

Installation of the power and control wiring requires access to the Analyzer’s electrical enclosure. To remove the brass-colored cover, use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the two set screws, then gently pull the cover away from the Analyzer.

Connecting to a Power Supply

Installation of the Sievers 500 RL On-Line TOC Analyzer requires an external source of AC power connected to the enclosure using a water-tight conduit connector. The electrical connection should be performed by a qualified electrician. The Analyzer does not have an internal circuit breaker. An external switch or circuit breaker is required, and should be installed near the Analyzer and be clearly marked as the disconnecting device for the Analyzer.

Note:

Before installing any wiring inside the Analyzer, put on a grounding strap for ESD protection.

Route the AC power conduit through the lower pass-through port on the left side of the bulkhead, labeled AC INLET. Remove the pass-through cap by loosening the wing nut that secures the cover from inside the Analyzer. Metallic conduit is required for the Analyzer to meet CE Mark electrical requirements.

Secure the PVC conduit connector (“strain relief” hub) and washer to the conduit and the Analyzer bulkhead. AC connections inside the Analyzer are made to the top of the terminal strip (see Figure ), with the line (brown/black wire) connected to the left port and neutral (blue/white wire) connected to the right port. Connect the grounding conductor (green and yellow wire) to the ground stud. A terminal ring for 16-14 AWG wire is provided in the accessories kit; if you use wire of a different gauge, you must provide an appropriate terminal ring.

Wire should be 18-12 AWG, rated to 300 Volts. Strip length should be 8 mm (.33 in). When connecting the wire to the terminal block, use a small flathead screwdriver (such as the one provided in the accessories kit) to loosen the screws on the terminal block; insert the wires and then tighten the screws. After connecting the wire, pull on each connection gently to make sure the connection is secure.

If you are also installing wiring for alarms or 4-20 mA outputs, proceed to the next section. Otherwise, close and latch the Analyzer door and proceed to “Step 5: Installing the Printer, USB, and Serial Connections” on page 53.

Chapter 3: Installation

Figure 2: Wiring AC Power

Installing the Analog Outputs and Alarms

The Analyzer offers four alarm and three 4-20 mA outputs, via three terminal blocks that are arranged horizontally in the electrical enclosure. The Analyzer also has one Ethernet port. Consult Tables 1 through 3 below for a list of functions on each terminal block. The output and alarm connections should be installed by a qualified electrician.

Route the cables to the terminal strips through the pass-through port on the left side of the bulkhead, labeled CONTROL. Remove the pass-through cap by opening the Analyzer’s front panel and loosening the wing nut that secures the cover from inside the Analyzer. Secure the PVC conduit connector (“strain relief” hub) and washer to the conduit and the Analyzer bulkhead in the normal manner. Wire should be 22-12 AWG, rated to 300 Volts. Strip length should be 8-9 mm (.33 in). To attach the output connections, first remove the terminal block from the I/O board by firmly grasping the terminal block and pulling it straight out from the board (note the orientation of the terminal block before removing). Completely loosen the screw for each pin you are connecting, insert the wire, tighten the screw, and then gently pull on each connection to make sure the connection is secure. Then, replace the terminal blocks.

Starting from the left, the terminal blocks are as follows:

1. The first terminal block (TB2) is for two alarm outputs and binary inputs.

2. The second terminal block (TB1) is for two additional alarm outputs.

Chapter 3: Installation

3. The third terminal block (TB3) is for serial and three 4-20 mA analog outputs.

Power isolation level is 240 VAC rms for all terminal blocks, except for the 24 V power (TB2, pins 9 and 10) and the Reserved pins on all terminal blocks. The maximum load for the alarm ports is 30 VDC at 1.0 A. The maximum 420 mA load is 600 ohms.

Step 5: Installing the Printer, USB, and Serial Connections

If you have not already done so, replace the electrical enclosure cover by securing the two set screws with a Phillips screwdriver. Then, close and latch the Analyzer front panel.

Before installing the printer cable, USB flash drive, or serial cable, you must first remove the cover plate from the Analyzer. Loosen the two thumb screws on the cover plate and remove the plate.

Figure 6: Input and Output Connectors

Chapter 3: Installation

Installing the Printer

The Analyzer has a 25-pin parallel (Centronics) printer port for connecting an optional printer. The printer must be IBM compatible or Epson FX 850 compatible. GE Analytical Instruments sells Epson, Seiko, and Citizen printers for use with the Analyzer.

To install the printer, follow these steps:

1. Connect the printer’s power converter to a grounded power source and plug the cable in to the back of the printer.

2. Connect the printer cable to the port labeled Printer on the Analyzer and secure with the captive screws.

3. Connect the other end of the printer cable to the printer and snap the clips into place.

4. Consult the instructions that come with the printer for additional setup help. Load the paper, and make sure the printer is ready to print (depending on the printer model, press SEL or Online so that the green light is illuminated).

Installing the USB Connection

The USB port is solely intended to provide data transfer to a USB flash memory drive. The flash memory drive can then be used with your computer’s USB port to transfer exported data for import into a spreadsheet or database program. The Analyzer cannot be directly connected to a computer via the USB port.

Due to significant variance among USB devices, not all USB flash memory devices are compatible with the Analyzer.

To attach the USB flash memory drive, simply slide it into the USB port on the Analyzer (see Figure 6 on page 53). Note that the drive must be oriented properly to slide in.

Installing the Serial Connection

The serial connection is optional and provides an additional means of capturing data from the Analyzer. Serial cables are available at many computer and office supply retail stores. To install the serial connection:

5. Connect the male end of the serial cable to the port on the Analyzer labeled Computer RS232 (see Figure 6 on page 53) and tighten the captive screws.

6. Connect the other end (female end) of the cable to the serial port on your PC, again connecting the captive screws.

Note:

For long distance connections (up to 1,000 feet or 305 meters), GE Analytical Instruments recommends use of either a RS-232 current loop converter or a RS-422 converter. You can also use an Ethernet connection.

Chapter 3: Installation

Wiring the Ethernet Cable

Data from the Analyzer may be exported via Ethernet. Attach one end of the cable to the Ethernet port on the Analyzer’s system board. Attach the other end of the cable either to an Ethernet port on the network or to a computer. You also must activate the Modbus feature, as described on page 82.

Step 6: Connect the Sample Inlet and Outlet Ports

The flow from the water source should be disabled until the sample inlet system is completely installed and the Analyzer is ready to begin analysis.

The Analyzer is designed to measure water from a continuous sample flow in On-Line mode; the iOS System or Super iOS System can be used to sample from vials when the Analyzer is operated in Grab mode. When taking measurements from vials (for example, for calibration and verification of the Analyzer), no plumbing change is required, as 40-mL vials are simply inserted into the iOS System, or vials are inserted into the Super iOS System.

Follow these steps to configure the sample inlet and outlet ports:

1. Connect the 1/4" Teflon tubing with the in-line filter to the sample inlet on the iOS or Super iOS System or the Sample Inlet Block, depending on your Analyzer configuration. Tighten 1/4 turn past finger-tight with a 9/16" open-end wrench. Do not over-tighten the nut.

Warning

Operation of the Analyzer without the in-line filter on the sample inlet line will damage the Analyzer and void the warranty. To avoid damaging the Analyzer, install the filter and replace the filter element as needed.

Warning

To avoid false TOC readings and possible damage to the Analyzer, always make sure the sample is flowing through the inlet System and the DI water cartridge is filled before starting analysis.

2. Connect the 3/4" OD waste line tubing to the waste outlet on the sample inlet system or the Sample Inlet Block by sliding the tubing over the barb fitting.

3. Place the hose clamp over the waste line and tighten, to secure the connection to the waste outlet.

4. Route the waste tubing to an appropriate waste outlet. Note that the waste is gravity-drained, and thus the waste tubing cannot be routed above the level of the waste outlet barb.

5. After water flow to the sample inlet system has been established, the flow rate should be adjusted so that flow out of the waste line is between 50 -300 mL/min. The flow rate is controlled by a needle valve,

Chapter 3: Installation

which is adjusted by the screw on the sample inlet system. Turn the screw clockwise to decrease flow, and turn the screw counter-clockwise to increase flow.

Note:

Setting a water flow rate that exceeds 300 mL/min may result in poor system suitability verification data or any measurements taken from sample water in vials. Excessive flow also will not allow the sample pump to draw sample properly.

The iOS System door may be taped closed for safety during transport. Remove the tape before proceeding.

Step 7: Fill the DI Water Cartridge

Fill the DI water cartridge with DI water, using the squeeze bottle provided in the accessories kit.

1. Fill the water bottle with DI water.

2. Open the Analyzer’s front panel (you will need the key from the accessories kit to open the bottom latch).

3. Locate the DI water cartridge at the center of the Analyzer (see Figure 7)

4. Lift the spring clip (see Figure 8 on page 57) at the top of the DI water cartridge, and rotate the cartridge clockwise (as viewed from the top) so it slides out of the retaining hooks.

Figure 7: Locating The DI Water Cartridge

Chapter 3: Installation

Figure 8: Filling the DI Water Cartridge

5. Remove the John Guest fittings labeled “B” and “D” from the barbs on the top of the DI water cartridge. To loosen a fitting, use the John Guest tool from the accessories kit to push up on the bottom ring on the fitting, so that the ring moves toward the fitting (see Figure 9). Note that the tool is not used like a wrench to turn the fitting, but rather is only used to press in on the bottom ring of the fitting. You may want to rest the tool on the small post when you release the fitting, as shown in see Figure 9.

Warning

To avoid scratches, do not use a metal tool to remove the John Guest fittings on the DI water cartridge. Always use the John guest tool provided in the Analyzer’s accessories kit.

Chapter 3: Installation

Figure 9: Removing the John Guest Fitting

6. Remove the rubber inlet cover from the top of the DI water cartridge.

7. Slide the water bottle nozzle into the inlet hole. Make sure the tubing that connects to Port “B” is positioned higher than the DI water cartridge, and then gently squeeze the water bottle. Be sure to fill the reservoir until the water reaches the Full line.

8. Connect the fitting labeled “D” to the barb labeled “B” on top of the DI water cartridge.

9. Slide the DI water cartridge into the bracket and rotate it into the retaining clip until it snaps into place. The cartridge must be level as you rotate it inward, and the bottom of the cartridge must be perpendicular to the bracket.

10. Visually check for leaks from the reservoir after the DI water cartridge has been filled.

11. Turn on the Analyzer using the main power switch. This will start the DI pump. Check for large air bubbles in all the tubing that connects to the DI water cartridge. If large air bubbles are present, tap or manipulate the tubing to work the air bubbles out.

12. Keep the Analyzer powered on for 2 minutes.

13. After 2 minutes, turn the Analyzer off.

14. Lift the spring clip at the top of the DI water cartridge, and rotate the cartridge clockwise (as viewed from the top) so it slides out of the retaining hooks.

15. Remove the John Guest fitting labeled “B” from the barb on the top of the DI water cartridge.

16. Connect the fitting labeled “B” to the barb labeled “B” on the top of the cartridge.

17. Connect the fitting labeled “D” to the barb labeled “D” on the top of the cartridge.

Chapter 3: Installation

18. Slide the DI water cartridge into the bracket and rotate it into the retaining clip until it snaps into place.

19. Add water to the DI water cartridge, if necessary.

20. Replace the rubber inlet cover.

21. Turn the Analyzer on and wait 1 minute.

22. Check the level of the DI water cartridge. If the water level has dropped below the Full line, remove the rubber inlet cover from the top of the cartridge, add more water, and replace the inlet cover.

23. Close the Analyzer’s front panel.

24. Push the Main button and then press the Menu button.

25. Continue to Step 8. Note that even if you choose to skip Step 8, you must complete Step 9, “Rinsing the Analyzer,” prior to putting the Analyzer on-line.

3. The Status area displays information about the current operation mode, the Analyzer’s current status (Initializing, Idle, Analyzing, etc.), a countdown timer showing the time remaining in the current analysis, and the repetition and rejection count, if applicable.

Taking TOC Measurements

After you have set the analysis mode and have configured the mode settings (as described in “Setting the Analyzer Mode” on page 69) you are ready to begin taking TOC measurements. Simply press the Start Analysis button to begin.

The Menu Screen

The Menu screen provides you with access to all Analyzer settings and configuration options. Note that if Password protection or DataGuard is enabled, some options may be available only to certain users. See Figure 22 on page 102 for a menu map that indicates the required User Level to access various settings.

The Menu screen contains the five main configuration categories; press a tab to display the available options:

• Setup — Set the Analyzer mode and change parameters such as the number of repetitions and the number of rejects.

• Data — Display and export historical data stored in RAM.

• I/O — Configure the input and output of data from the Analyzer.

• Maintenance — Display information about the Analyzer’s consumables levels, system information, and error messages. Also perform calibration and system suitability operations.

• DataGuard — Configure the access settings and user passwords for your Analyzer.

From any tab under the Menu screen, you can press the Start Analysis button to initiate TOC measurements.

Setup

Options on the Setup tab let you specify preferences and basic operation settings for the Analyzer configuration. If the sample conditions for your application remain relatively constant, you should seldom need to configure the settings here.

Setting the Analyzer Mode

The Sievers 500 RL On-Line TOC Analyzer can operate in up to four different modes, depending on your configuration. To set the Analyzer mode, follow these steps:

Chapter 4: Basic Analyzer Operation

1. Select the Setup tab (see Figure 11).

2. If you are running the Analyzer with a continuous water source, select an On-Line mode:

•Select On-Line to measure TOC continuously and return measurement results every 6 minutes.

•Select On-Line Timed to display a single TOC measurement at specific times of the day. Press the

Configure button and specify the hour and minute for the first measurement; then, specify the time interval for successive measurements (30 Minutes, 1 Hour, 4 Hour, 8 Hour, 24 Hour). At each specified interval, the Analyzer displays data for the measurement that occurred at that time.

•Select On-Line Averaged to return the averaged value of the last 10 TOC measurements over a

specific time interval. Press the Configure button and specify the hour and minute for the first measurement, then specify the time interval. At each specified interval, the Analyzer displays data reflecting the average TOC value since the last specified interval. Also press the Threshold button to specify a TOC level above which the Analyzer will switch to On-Line mode for the remainder of the interval. When the threshold is exceeded, the Analyzer gives the average value for the interval thus far and then returns measurements every 6 minutes.

3. If you are sampling from a vial in the Analyzer’s iOS or Super iOS System, press the Grab button. Follow the instructions under “Grab Mode Measurement Settings” on page 70 for configuring Grab mode. Grab mode is not available for configurations with the Sample Inlet Block.

4. Press the Menu button to exit and save your settings.

Figure 11: The Setup Tab

Grab Mode Measurement Settings

When selecting Grab mode (available on configurations with an iOS or Super iOS), you need to specify the number of replicate measurements and rejects as follows:

1. On the Setup tab, press the Configure Mode button.

Chapter 4: Basic Analyzer Operation

2. Press the Reps button to set the number of replicate TOC measurements to be made on the sample. When you press the button, a number pad displays. Enter a number and press the Enter button to save the value, or press Cancel to retain the current setting without making any changes.

3. Press the Rejects button. This option determines how many of the replicate measurements will be rejected in calculating average values and standard deviations. When you press the button, a number pad displays. Enter a number and press the Enter button to save the value, or press Cancel to retain the current setting without making any changes.

In most cases, this first measurement will be close to the actual TOC but may be an outlier. It is best to set the number of rejections to 1 or more to ensure an accurate TOC value. Using at least 4 repetitions allows rejection of the first value and calculation of a standard deviation using the remaining values. If your Analyzer has a Super iOS, the vial must be in Port 1.

When measuring in Grab mode, if you use glass vials the sample water must be acidified to a pH of 3. If you use plastic vials, no acidification is required.

Managing Data History

The Analyzer stores the TOC measurement data history in the non-volatile memory. On the Data tab (see Figure 12) you can configure the way your Analyzer stores and displays the data history; you also can initiate printing and exporting of the data.

Configuring the Flow Sensor

In configurations with an iOS or Super iOS, the Analyzer automatically detects the presence of the sample stream when it is working in On-Line mode. When the water flow is interrupted, the Analyzer issues an error and stops analysis. To change the Flow Sensor setting, follow these steps:

1. Select the Maintenance tab.

2. Press the Advanced button.

3. Press the Advanced Setup button.

4. Press the Flow Sensor button.

5. By default, the Flow Sensor is set to On. To change the Flow Sensor Status, press the Flow Sensor button and then select On or Off.

Note:

Every time the Analyzer is stopped and re-started in On-Line mode, the Flow Sensor automatically resets to On, to protect the Analyzer.

Press the Flow Restart button and set it to On or Off. Setting the Flow Restart to On means the Analyzer will automatically begin analysis again after a temporary stoppage of sample flow, if it was taking

Chapter 4: Basic Analyzer Operation

measurements at the time sample flow stopped. When flow is interrupted, a warning will be recorded in the warnings/errors list.

Warning

Operating the Analyzer in On-Line mode with the Flow Sensor off can result in erroneous measurements if there is no sample flow.

Specifying Auto Restart Settings

If your Analyzer has a Super iOS, you can specify whether the Analyzer should automatically restart after various system functions. If your Analyzer has a standard iOS or a Sample Inlet Block, Auto Restart is available only after Rinse Down mode. Auto Restart does not occur if the Analyzer is configured for Grab mode prior to running a system function By default, Auto Restart is Off.

1. Select the Maintenance tab.

2. Press the Advanced button.

3. Press the Advanced Setup button.

4. Press the Auto Restart button.

5. Select a function and then set it to On or Off. Available system functions will depend on what kind of iOS System you have. Super iOS options include Rinse Down, Verification, System Suitability, and Linearity.

For verification, system suitability, and linearity functions, analysis only restarts only when the protocol is completed successfully. If any of these protocols fail, analysis does not restart.

Programming the TOC Autozero

If your application requires you to perform on-line TOC measurements, you may want to set the Analyzer to automatically perform a TOC Autozero at a specific interval. The TOC Autozero is recommended only if the TOC concentration in the sample stream is 50 ppb or less. The TOC Autozero function is described in more detail on page 164.

1. If the Analyzer is taking measurements, press the Stop Analysis button.

2. Press the Menu button, select the Maintenance tab, and press the Cal/ver/Validate button.

3. Press the Program Autozero button.

4. Press the State button and select On.

5. Press the Frequency button and use the number keypad to enter how often you want to program the TOC Autozero function to work. The Frequency is measured in days; if you enter 7 the TOC Autozero will

Chapter 4: Basic Analyzer Operation

run every week starting one week from the date you specify. For example, if you enter 14, it will run every two weeks.

6. Use the date and time buttons to specify the start date and time for the first TOC Autozero.

When two consecutive negative measurements occur, the Analyzer will automatically perform a TOC Autozero and then returns to analysis. If two consecutive negative measurements occur a second time, the Analyzer will again automatically perform a TOC Autozero. If two consecutive measurements occur a third time, the Analyzer issues Warning 12, TOC Autozero Failed.

7. Press Back when you are done.

Note:

If the Analyzer is not powered on when a TOC Autozero is programmed to occur, the scheduled TOC Autozero is skipped. If the composition of the water is changing too rapidly at the time the TOC Autozero is scheduled, the TOC Autozero will be stopped. In both cases, the next TOC Autozero will occur at its regularly programmed time.

Draining the iOS System

At times you may need to drain the iOS System or the Super iOS System (depending on the configuration of your Analyzer).

1. Select the Maintenance tab.

2. Press the Advanced button.

3. Press the Drain iOS button.

4. Follow the prompts on-screen.

You will need to stop sample flow to the Analyzer before the iOS System can drain properly.

Main screen.

Basic Hardware Operation Issues

Opening the Analyzer Case

The Analyzer case is easy to open to facilitate routine maintenance tasks.

Open the Analyzer front panel by turning the two latches and swinging the panel door to the left; you will need to unlock the bottom latch with the key provided in the Analyzer’s accessories kit. When closing the front panel, be sure to firmly close both of the latches. In addition, some subsystems inside the Analyzer, such as the electrical enclosure at the top, are protected by covers. Remove the covers by loosening the captive screws with a Phillips screwdriver, and always make sure the Analyzer is powered off and the power is disconnected before removing the covers. When replacing the covers, be sure to seat the cover securely and evenly.

The Touch Screen

The Analyzer’s touch screen is a quarter-VGA color LCD. The operator’s finger is optimal for interacting with the display. To avoid scratching the display, do not use pens or pencils to press buttons.

Recommended Operational State

To assure optimal performance across the operating range, the Analyzer should remain powered On in the idle state when not in use. This will allow the measurement components and other subsystems to maintain their equilibrium with the ambient environment. If the Analyzer cannot be left on between uses, allow the it to reequilibrate for 90 minutes prior to beginning analysis. Failure to do so may compromise the Analyzer's initial results. This could mean a decrease in the instrument's accuracy, an increased likelihood of obtaining negative TOC values, or an increase in the standard deviation values.

The iOS System

GE Analytical Instrument offers three inlet systems for use with the Sievers 500 RL On-Line TOC Analyzer: a sample inlet block for dedicated on-line analysis, a standard Integrated On-Line Sampling (iOS) System, with one vial port, and a Super iOS, with four vial ports. Both iOS systems provide a convenient sample inlet for on-line sample sources and standards in vials. You do not need to change the inlet configuration when switching analysis from on-line mode to sample from vials. If you have a standard iOS System, slide the iOS System door

Chapter 4: Basic Analyzer Operation

open, wait 30 seconds for sample to drain from the iOS System, and then insert the vial containing the standard or sample.

The Super iOS System is designed to take advantage of Sievers Standards in cartridges for automated system protocols (see below). If you have a Super iOS System and want to run in grab mode, the Analyzer draws sample from vials placed in Vial Port 1.

Figure 19: The Standard iOS System

Always stop analysis before opening the standard iOS System door to avoid generating erroneous measurement data. If the flow sensor is On, opening the iOS System door while analysis is taking place causes the flow sensor to activate and halt analysis. If the flow sensor is Off, opening the iOS System door while analysis is taking place results in air being drawn into the Analyzer.

Warning

The iOS System contains two sharp needles designed to pierce the septa of sample vials. Do not put fingers or inappropriate materials into the iOS System.

Warning

Water in the standard iOS System may be hot. Before inserting a vial into the standard iOS System, slide the door open and wait 30 seconds to allow sample to completely drain. Inserting a vial before draining can result in potentially hot water spray projecting upward out of the standard iOS System.

Chapter 4: Basic Analyzer Operation

Figure 20: The Super iOS System

The Sample Inlet Block

The Sample Inlet Block (see Figure 21) is designed to for on-line sampling only. Sampling from a vial is not possible with this configuration.

The Sample Inlet Block may be hot. If the sample water is hot, be careful to avoiding touching the Sample Inlet Block.

Figure 21: The Sample Inlet Block

Warning

Chapter 4: Basic Analyzer Operation

Vial Set Cartridges

The Super iOS is designed to take advantage of Sievers Standards in cartridges. The Analyzer automatically reads certain data from the cartridge, including the following:

• Vial set part number

• Vial set expiration date

• Vial set name

• Vial name

• Vial part number

• Vial lot number

• Vial expiration date

Steam Exposure

The iOS and Super iOS are rated at IP 45 and can withstand short-term steam exposure of up to 40 psi steam for 30 minutes. When exposed to steam, the Analyzer should be powered off or in standby mode, and not in analysis mode. After exposure to steam, allow the Analyzer to cool before returning to Analysis mode. Observe the following cool-down intervals before starting analysis after steam exposure:
