2.1.3 Change instrument labels

2.2 Product overview

Several safety labels (3 in the analytical section) are applied to the instrument. If necessary, apply the correct language label over the existing safety labels.

The AMTAX sc (Figure 3, Figure 4) measures the ammonium ions present in treated aqueous solutions (waste water, process water and surface water). The measured value is displayed in mg/L NH

-N on the controller. The AMTAX sc must be used in

combination with the sc1000 controller. The sc1000 controller is used to configure, power and output the measured values.

Conversion formula: NH

-N : NH

= 1 : 1.288

The AMTAX sc can operate using single or dual channel modes. Operation with the Filter Probe sc is single channel only. The sc analyzer can be converted from a single channel operation to dual channel operation. Contact the manufacturer for more information.

General Information

Dual channel operation is only possible with continuous sample preparation, e.g. FILTRAX or Ultrafiltration. Sample preparation and filtration must be provided before installing the analysis instrument.

3.5.1 Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Considerations

Important Note: To minimize hazards an d ESD risks, maintenance procedures not requiring power to the analyzer should be performed with power removed.

Delicate internal electronic components can be damaged by static electricity, resulting in degraded instrument performance or eventual failure.

The manufacturer recommends taking the following steps to prevent ESD damage to the instrument:

• Before touching any instrument electronic components (such as printed circuit cards and the components on them) discharge static electricity. This can be accomplished by touching an earth-grounded metal surface such as the chassis of an instrument or pipe or a metal conduit.

• To reduce static build-up, avoid excessive movement. Transport static-sensitive components in anti-static containers or packaging.

• To discharge static electricity and keep it discharged, wear a wrist strap connected by a wire to earth ground.

Installation

3.5.2 Enclosure breakouts

• Handle all static-sensitive components in a static-safe area. If

possible, use anti-static floor pads and work bench pads.

There are four main enclosure openings to insert tubing and cables (Figure 15).

1 Sample feed or refer to

Table 1, page 23 for

tubing options.

the enclosure openings (Figure 15).

2 Push the plug from the top onto the

tubing or onto the cable.

3.5.4 Connect the Filter Probe to the analyzer

CAUTION The enclosure may tip forwards if it has not been fixed in place. Only open the enclosure if the enclosure is properly mounted.

DANGER Disconnect power from the sc analyzer at the sc1000 before removing the protective covers in the an aly ze r.

Important Note: Make sure that for the use of a filter probe, the

level of the water in which the filtration probe is submersed, is below the level of the analyzer.

1. Open the enclosure door and secure with the door hook.

2. Open the analyzer panel.

3. Remove the two screws from the protective cover and remove

the cover (item 1, Figure 14, page 24).

Figure 16, page 28) from the Filter Probe sc to the ground

terminal (item 5, Figure 16, page 28).

3 Pull down the plug with the tubing

or the cables. Seal any unused entry with Plug #3.

5. Connect the power connector to the appropriate terminal

connection (items 4 and 11, Figure 16, page 28).

6. Remove the three screws securing the bottom panel cover. (item 2, Figure 14, page 24). Remove the panel.

7. Connect the data connector (item 10, Figure 16, page 28) to the main board (item 12, Figure 16, page 28).

8. Install all covers and panels.

9. Connect the white air tubing (item 8, Figure 16, page 28) from

the Filter Probe sc to the air tubing connection on the analyzer (Figure 16, page 28).

10. For sample and drain line connections refer to A.4, page79.

3.5.5 Connect the optional heated drain

CAUTION The enclosure may tip forwards if it has not been fixed in place. Only open the enclosure if the enclosure is properly mounted.

DANGER Disconnect power from the sc analyzer at the sc1000 before removing the protective covers in the analyzer.

Refer to Figure 16 and the following procedure to connect the heated drain.

1. Open the enclosure door and secure if necessary.

2. Open the analyzer panel.

3.6 Installation of reagents

Installation

Normal operation of this instrument may involve the use of hazardous chemicals or biologically harmful samples.

• Observe all cautionary information printed on the original solution containers and safety data sheet prior to their use.

• Dispose of all consumed solutions in accordance with national regulations and laws.

• Select the type of protective equipment suitable to the concentration and quantity of the dangerous material at the respective work place.

CAUTION Avoid unnecessary contact with sample flows of unknown concentration. This can produce hazards due to trace chemicals, radiation or biological effects.

CAUTION The enclosure may tip forwards if it has not been fixed in place. Only open the enclosure if the enclosure is properly mounted.

Important Note: Always lay the drain tubing so that there is a

continuous fall (minimum 3°), the outlet is clear (not pressurized) and the drain tubing is not longer than 2 meters. For more information refer to Appendix A, page 77.

Important Note: Incorrect use of the reagents can damage the instrument. Carefully read the labels on the containers to make sure that there are no mistakes.

The reagents and chemicals supplied are ready to use. The reagents need to be placed in the analysis instrument and tubings connected. Refer to Table 3 to determine the correct standards.
