The Hanna Instruments PCA310, PCA320, PCA330 and PCA340 series of chlorine, pH, ORP and
temperature analyzers are microprocessor controlled, process analyzers which continuously monitor a
sample stream for chlorine content, pH, ORP and temperature values.
The PCA310 - PCA340 monitor the free chlorine or total chlorine in the 0.00 to 5.00 mg/L range
depending on the factory settings and used reagents.
In the DPD Colorimetric method, N, N-Diethyl-p-phenylenediamine indicator and a buffer are mixed
with the sample.
The resulting chemical reaction causes a magenta color to form. The color intensity is proportional to
the concentration of chlorine. The color intensity is measured photometrically (with a light beam and a
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
photodetector) and converted to chlorine concentration, in mg/L, which is displayed on the front panel.
Indicator and buffer reagent bottles are placed directly into the instrument case. With a sampling period of
5 minutes, reagents need to be replenished about once a month. The reagent bottles are easily visible
through the transparent window allowing the operator to check the reagent levels.
PCA320, PCA330 and PCA340 analyzers use HI1005 probe to continuously measure the pH of
the sample stream in the range of 0.00 to 14.00 pH. The sample temperature is measured in the
5.00 to 75.00 °C range.
pH and temperature are displayed on the front panel. pH value is corrected with temperature.
PCA330 analyzer use HI2008 platinum ORP electrode to continuously measure the sample ORP value.
The pH/temperature combined sensor and the ORP sensor are placed inside the case, directly in the
sample stream.
The case of PCA310 - PCA340 analyzers meet NEMA 4X, 12 and 13 standards. Molded fiberglass
polyester has outstanding chemical and temperature resistance.

CHLORINE MEASUREMENT
Referring to the drawing on page 11 and the Fluidic Diagram on page 18, the Sample Line is
connected to the instrument at the Sample Port (#17); an internal Regulator (#14) reduces the
inlet pressure from a maximum of 4 bar (57.2 psi) down to 1 bar (14.3 psi); from the Regulator a
nylon tube is connected to the input of the Electrovalve (#21). The output of the valve goes to the
Drain Port (#11) and then to the Measuring Cell (#8). An optional Filter can be installed to the
sample port if the stream is excessively turbid.
The sample coming from the line normally flows through the Measuring Cell (#8). It goes out from
the Measuring Cell through the Drain Tube (#9) and the Output Port (#10).
The Measuring Cell is accessible from the port placed on the top (#7) for speedy cleaning and
maintenance.
During the 100 seconds preceding the sampling, the analyzer solenoid input valve is open to allow
sample flow to flush the colorimeter cell. Every 3 to 90 minutes (user selectable), the electrovalve
closes stopping the sample flow and leaving the sample cell full of fresh sample. Cell volume is
controlled by an overflow gateway.
As the sample inlet electrovalve closes, a series of measurements (with LED on and off) of the unreacted
sample is taken to determine an average blank level prior to reagent addition.
The measurement of sample blank signal permits compensation for any turbidity or natural color, and
provides the zero reference point for the measurement.
The two channel Peristaltic Pump (#5) starts rotating causing a precise quantity of buffer and indicator
(#15 and #16) to enter the colorimeter sample cell. Here a magnetically coupled stirrer mixes the
reagents with the sample.

OPERATING DESCRIPTION
17
After a delay for the color development, a series of measurements (with LED on and off) are taken
(sample level) to determine an average chlorine concentration measurement. The reacted sample
signal is then measured and displayed.
This sequence is repeated every 3 to 90 minutes (user-selectable).
METHOD OF ANALYSIS
Free available chlorine oxidizes the DPD
indicator reagent at a pH between 5.5 and
6.0 to form a magenta-colored compound.
The intensity of the resulting color is proportional to the concentration of chlorine in the
OPERATING DESCRIPTION
sample. The purpose of the buffer solution
is to maintain the proper pH.
To measure total residual chlorine (free
available chlorine plus combined chlorine)
the PCA adds potassium iodide. The chloramines in the sample cause iodide ions
to become iodine which then act with free
chlorine to oxidize the DPD indicator. After
the chemical reaction is complete, the optical
signal at 555 nm is compared to the signal
measured through the sample (before the
reagents were added). From these measurements chlorine concentration is calculated.
18
pH AND TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT
The HI1005 pH/temperature probe provides at the out port a potential proportional with the pH. The
temperature is measured with Pt100 platinum sensor.
For increased accuracy the pH is corrected with temperature and with the calibration coefficients. Up
to 2 buffers can be used for calibration.
The temperature can be displayed in °C or °F.
The probe can withstand pressure up to 6 bar (87 psi).
ORP MEASUREMENT
The HI2008 probe provides at the out port a potential proportional with the ORP value. The value is
directly displayed in mV. The probe can withstand pressure up to 6 bar (87 psi).
INSTALLATION PERSONNEL
Installation of the PCA310 - PCA340 Chlorine, pH, ORP and temperature analyzers should be
undertaken by persons with technical knowledge of the dangers associated with chemical exposure
and electrical shock.
Hanna Instruments assumes that persons performing the installation tasks are aware of the appropriate
safety procedures.
CAUTION: Review the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) before handling the supplied chemical
reagents.
LOCATION OF THE INSTRUMENT
Analyzer Location
Locate the analyzer as close as is reasonably possible to the point where the sample is withdrawn
from the product stream (referred to as the sampling point).
The instrument should be mounted indoors, out of direct sunlight. Instrument operating temperature
is 5 to 40 °C (41 to 104 °F).
Sampling Point Location
Locate the sampling point to obtain a truly representative sample from the product stream. For example,
be sure the sampling point is well downstream from a Chlorine and acid/alkali feed. This assures that
adequate mixing and reaction of the Chlorine and acid/alkali before a sample is extracted.
HYDRAULIC CONNECTIONS
Note: Hydraulic connections should be installed only by qualified personnel to assure conformity
to applicable plumbing codes.
INITIAL PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION
Sample Line Installation
Direct routing of sample lines is recommended.
If the large process pipes are horizontal, taps should be inserted vertically in the middle of the pipe to
avoid pulling sediment from the bottom or air bubbles from the top of the pipe into the sam ple line.

A 1/2 BSP sample input fitting allows direct connection to the optional input filter.
Sample line pressure should be between 0.07 and 4 bar (1 and 57.2 psi) with an ideal pressure of
0.7 bar (10 psi).
It is recommended to assure that the water inlet come at 1 m above the instrument sample input
pitting. For maintenance issues is also recommended to install valves on both sampling pipes.
INITIAL PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION
Drain Line Installation
The drain hose fitting is a 20 mm (3/4”) hose barb on the bottom of the instrument enclosure. An air
gap between the end of the drain hose and the drain is recommended to prevent any back flow into
the instrument in the event of drain blockage.
20
Return Line Installation
The return hose fitting is a 12 mm (1/2”) hose barb on the bottom of the regulator output port and
should always be connected even when pressure is below 1 bar.
INSTALLING THE INPUT FILTER
In order to ensure maximum accuracy of measurements, it is recommended to have always clear
sample, with suspended particles smaller than 0.5 µm. This can be achieved by installing two
filters before the sample input.
The type of filters depends on the quality of the water: the first filter should have 50-100 µm pore
size, whereas in any case the second filter, the one closer to the analyzer, has to be 0.5 µm.
For correct instaling procedure and maintenance, see the instructions of filters.
INSTALLING THE pH AND ORP PROBES
To mount the pH and ORP probes, first turn off the analyzer.
Unscrew the closing caps from the electrode holder and remove the protective cap from electrodes and
electrodes connectors.
