2.2General Sensor Information
The system consists of a controller with an integrated display, and a sensor (Figure 2).
The choice can be made to use this instrument with the specifications and processes of
the 9184sc, 9185sc, or 9187sc sensor. This is determined by selecting the parameter
during the initial sensor setup and the type of sensor being used. See
on page 19.

Section 3Installation
DANGER
Only qualified personnel should conduct the tasks described in this section of the
manual.
3.1Mounting the Analyzer
The analyzer is designed to be mounted on a flat, vertical surface such as a wall, panel,
stand, etc. The instrument must be level.
Locate the sensor as close to the sampling point as possible. The shorter the distance
traveled by the sample, the faster the instrument can respond and indicate changes in
sample concentration. The 152 mm (6-inch) clearance at the bottom of the instrument is
not necessary if using the accessories. Refer to
connection instructions.
Figure 3Analyzer Dimensions
section 3.3 on page 10 for sample stream
Note: The optional pH probe is used for the 9184sc TFC only.
3.1.1 Environmental Considerations
The instrument enclosure is IP66/NEMA 4X with an ambient temperature between 0 and
45 °C (32 to 113 °F), see
Specifications on page 3 for more information.

3.1.2 General Installation Considerations
•Place the analyzer in an accessible location.
•Keep the sample tubing as short as possible to minimize lag time.
•Do not place the probe next to a heat source.
•Ensure that there is no air intrusion into the sample supply line.
•Sample pressure must be sufficient to ensure a continuous supply to the probe. A
minimum pressure of approximately 0.1–2 bar (1.4–28 psi) is sufficient to provide the
correct flow rate. A stable flow rate of 200–250 mL/min is critical. Erratic flow rates will
create erratic measurements.
3.2Choosing the Sample Line Location
Note: Erratic readings will occur if a sample is drawn from a location that is too close to points of
chemical additions to the process stream, if mixing is inadequate, or if the chemical reaction is
incomplete.
Selecting a good, representative sampling point is important for optimum instrument
performance (
the entire system.
Figure 4). The sample analyzed must be representative of the condition of
Install sample line taps into the side of larger process pipes to minimize the chance of
ingesting sediment from the pipe line bottom or air bubbles from the top. A tap projecting
into the horizontal center of the pipe is ideal.
Figure 4Sample Line Location in the Process Stream
3.3Connecting the Sample Stream
Sample inlet and drain connections are made on the Analyzer Flow Cell. Refer to
Specifications on page 3 for flow rates.
10
The sample inlet requires 6.3 mm (¼ in.) OD tubing. The connections are made with a
quick connect fitting. Use the 6.3 mm (¼ in.) supplied tubing adapter in the electrode kit.
Cut all tubing so the ends are squarely cut and not angled.
1. Push the tubing into the influent of the flow analyzer (Figure 5).
2. Push the supplied drain tubing onto the nipple beside the influent.
3. Ensure there are no bends in the tubing to prevent back pressure.
Page 13
3.4Connecting the Waste Stream
Connect the waste stream using the supplied ½-inch ID tubing. Be sure the drain is free
flowing (free of obstructions) so that the waste stream does not cause unnecessary
back-pressure or overflow.
Note: Waste from this instrument must go to the drain.

1. Ensure the flow regulator is threaded (clockwise) all the way and is snug but not
overtightened.
2. Turn on the sample stream.
3. Slowly open the flow regulator (Figure 11) counterclockwise until consistent flow is
achieved at a rate in which the flow cell can be flushed out for about two minutes.
Check for leaks at this time. If leaks occur, fix by ensuring all connections are snug but
not overtightened.
4. Adjust the flow regulator on the flow cell until the water begins to drain out the left
drain port. This results in a constant 14 L/hour (200–250 mL/min) flow rate.
5. Supply power to the controller and it will automatically power on.
6. Allow the instrument to stabilize before proceeding. This usually takes between 2–48
hours.

Section 9Warranty, liability and complaints
HACH LANGE GmbH warrants that the product supplied is free of material and manufacturing
defects and undertakes the obligation to repair or replace any defective parts at zero cost.
The warranty period for instruments is 24 months. If a service contract is taken out within 6
months of purchase, the warranty period is extended to 60 months.
With the exclusion of the further claims, the supplier is liable for defects including the lack of
assured properties as follows: all those parts that can be demonstrated to have become
unusable or that can only be used with significant limitations due to a situation present prior to
the transfer of risk, in particular due to incorrect design, poor materials or inadequate finish will
be improved or replaced, at the supplier's discretion. The identification of such defects must be
notified to the supplier in writing without delay, however at the latest 7 days after the
identification of the fault. If the customer fails to notify the supplier, the product is considered
approved despite the defect. Further liability for any direct or indirect damages is not accepted.
If instrument-specific maintenance and servicing work defined by the supplier is to be
performed within the warranty period by the customer (maintenance) or by the supplier
(servicing) and these requirements are not met, claims for damages due to the failure to
comply with the requirements are rendered void.
Any further claims, in particular claims for consequential damages cannot be made.
Consumables and damage caused by improper handling, poor installation or incorrect use are
excluded from this clause.
HACH LANGE GmbH process instruments are of proven reliability in many applications and
are therefore often used in automatic control loops to provide the most economical possible
operation of the related process.
To avoid or limit consequential damage, it is therefore recommended to design the control loop
such that a malfunction in an instrument results in an automatic change over to the backup
control system; this is the safest operating state for the environment and the process.

Appendix A 9184sc Theory of Operation
A.1 Theory of Operation
The 9184sc Chlorine Analyzer is an on-line, single-channel industrial analyzer that
measures free chlorine in drinking water treatment plants, distribution networks, and other
applications that require monitoring free chlorine at the ppb and ppm levels.
This instrument uses an amperometric method to measure HOCl concentration.
A
membrane allows the selective diffusion of HOCl molecules to the amperometric sensor
(
Figure 1 on page 6). The measurement is compensated for pH and temperature.
A.1.1 Principle of Operation
Specific terms exist to mention the different species of chlorine:
•Active Chlorine HOCl (hypochlorous acid)
It is the most powerful disinfectant, up to 100 times more efficient than hypochlorite
•Total Free Chlorine (TFC): HOCl + ClO
It is composed of dissolved chlorine (at low pH values), hypochlorous acid gas and
hypochlorite ion. These species coexist, their relative proportion is depending on pH
and temperature (see curve below for a dissociation at 25°C).
–
:
•Total Combinated Chlorine (TCC):
It results from the addition of total free chlorine and chloramines (mono-, di- and
trichloramine). The 9184 sc does not measure this parameter.
Fraction of Cl2, HOCl and ClO– react as a function of pH (Figure 13).
Figure 13Dissociation Curve
The dissociation reactions are as follow:
Cl2 + H2O ♦ H+ + Cl– + HOClpK1 = 4.6 at 25°C
HOCl ♦ H+ + ClO–
pK2 = 7.5 at 25°C

+2AgCl 2e–+→
It is also important to notice that the dissociation constants are temperature-dependent
(the equipment takes into account this element).
The amperometric sensor consists of:
•a gold working electrode (cathode) where the main reaction occurs
•a silver counter-reference electrode (anode)
•KCl electrolyte
•a microporous membrane selective to HOCl
The HOCl molecules in the sample diffuse through the membrane to a thin region between
the membrane and the cathode that contains the electrolyte.
A constant potential is applied to the working electrode where HOCl is reduced according
to the reaction:
At the silver electrode (anode) the silver is oxidized to Ag+:
The reduction in HOCl at the cathode generates a current that is directly proportional to its
partial pressure in the sample.
The electrochemical reaction and diffusion through the membrane are dependent upon
temperature. Consequently, the measurement cell contains a temperature sensor that
allows for automatic temperature compensation.
In the acidification version an additional analyzer version offers the possibility to measure
samples with a high pH value. The sample pH is kept constant between 5.5 and 6.5 by
continuously adding acid solution. At such pH levels, all ClO
–
ions turn into HOCl, thus
enabling the sensor to measure TFC.

Appendix B 9185sc Theory of Operation
B.1 Theory of Operation
The 9185sc Ozone Analyzer is an on-line, single-channel industrial analyzer that
measures ozone in drinking water treatment plants, distribution networks, and other
applications that require monitoring ozone at the ppb and ppm levels.
This instrument uses an amperometric method to measure O3 concentration. A membrane
allows the selective diffusion of
page 6). The measurement is compensated for pH and temperature.
B.1.1 Principle of Operation
Ozone is a gas that is highly soluble in water (13 times more than oxygen). It is unstable
when dissolved in water.
Effects on solubility:
•Some parameters e.g. temperature and pH can influence the stability of the
measurement. The solubility of ozone in water decreases rapidly with temperature.
Effects of pH: Ozone reacting with OH– hydroxide ions: the greater the number of these
ions (high pH), the greater the degree of breakdown. Conversely, at a low pH, breakdown
will be slower (
Figure 14).
O

Figure 14Time of Breakdown of Dissolved Ozone
Finally, it is worth noting that, as the OH– ion is a by-product of ozone breakdown in water,
the reaction between OH
ozone. This is more pronounced if air is mixed with the water sample.
The exposure to free air of ozone water results in significant degassing: as the ozone
content of ambient air is very low compared to that of the sample, exchange therefore
occurs, with rapid loss of ozone in the sample.
This problem is even more pronounced if air/water mixing occurs. All of these phenomena,
therefore, require that certain precautions be taken concerning the sampling line
(
section 3.2 on page 10 and section 3.3 on page 10).

Appendix C 9187sc Theory of Operation
C.1 Theory of Operation
The 9187sc Chlorine Dioxide Analyzer is an on-line, single-channel industrial analyzer
that measures chlorine dioxide in drinking water treatment plants, distribution networks,
and other applications that require monitoring chlorine dioxide at the ppb and ppm levels.
This instrument uses an amperometric method to measure chlorine dioxide concentration.
A
membrane allows the selective diffusion of ClO2 molecules to the amperometric sensor
(
Figure 1 on page 6). The measurement is compensated for temperature.
C.1.1 Principle of Operation
Measurement is carried out using an amperometric method after diffusion of the chlorine
dioxide molecules through a membrane. The molecules of chlorine dioxide contained in
the sample diffuse through the membrane and are then found in an electrolyte zone of
very slight thickness between the membrane and the cathode. A constant work potential is
applied to the work electrode (cathode) where CIO2 is reduced according to the reaction:
ClO2 + 5e– + 4H+ ♦ Cl– + 2H2O
At the silver electrode (anode) the silver is oxidized to:
Ag+ : Cl– + Ag ♦ AgCl + e
The reduction in chlorine dioxide at the cathode generates a current which is directly
proportional to the partial pressure of it in the sample. The electrochemical reaction and
diffusion through the membrane are dependent upon temperature, consequently the
measurement cell is fitted with a temperature sensor which enables the automatic
compensation of measurement variations according to temperature.
