ments
Flow
Interruption
Correct the pH of the sample with Diisopropylamine only, however,
Diisopropylamine is not included in delivery. Please buy it from your
local supplier: E.g. VWR 6x 1l: 8.03646.1000, or SIGMA 38290-1L-F.
No sand (or other polishing material) or oil are allowed in the sample.
The instrument is specified for a max. pressure of 2 bar (28 psi). If
the sample pressure exceeds 2 bar, please mount a pressure reduction in front of the instrument inlet.
Phosphates may interfere with the hydrazine measurement.
The pH value of the sample must be equal or higher than pH 7.
High concentrations of Diisopropylamine reagent may attack the
acrylic material of the flow cell. This can cause cracks and render
the flow cell completely unusable. This will not happen during normal operation. However, if the sample flow is stopped, undiluted diisoproylamine will diffuse through the diffusion tube and can cause
damage. Therefore, the following rules should be observed if the
sample flow is stopped for more than one day:
Remove diisopropylamine bottle and close it. Keep it in a safe
place for further use.
WARNING
Diisopropylamine is corrosive.
Read the Safety Data Sheets (SDS) first.
Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye/face protec-
tion.
Avoid inhalation of DIPA vapor.
In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of
water eyelid wide open for at least 10 min, summon medical
advice. In case of accident or if you feel unwell, summon
medical advice immediately (show the label where possible).
Screw an empty reagent bottle on the holder.
Let the sample flow for another 30 minutes to rinse out the Di-
isopropylamine dissolved in the diffusion tubing material.
Stop sample flow.

Features

consumption
Measuring
principle
FluidicsThe measurement of hydrazine requires a high pH of the sample.
No data loss after power failure. All data is saved in non-volatile
memory.
Over voltage protection of in- and outputs.
Galvanic separation of measuring inputs and signal outputs. The
analyzer is factory tested and ready for installation and operation.
Reagent consumption (at 25°C):
< 1L diisopropylamine per month
3-electrode amperometry:
The sensor consists of two platinum electrodes and a reference
electrode. A voltage is applied to the platinum electrodes and kept
on a optimum level by the reference electrode. The hydrazine in the
sample generates a small current on the platine pin electrode,
which is proportional to the hydrazine concentration.
For an optimal sensitivity and stability, a rotor continuously cleans
the surfaces of the platinum electrodes (hydrodynamic cleaning).
To ensure a sufficient sample flow, a Hall-Sensor detects the rotations of the rotor. If the rotation speed falls below a certain value, a
flow Alarm is triggered.
The signal of amperometric systems depends on flow rate. The
constant head guarantees a constant flow if the sample always
overflows into the longer constant head tube.
Temperature compensation is done automatically.
The AMI Hydrazine buffers the pH to pH>10.5 by adding diisopropylamine. The diisopropylamine is dissolved in the water while
flowing through a diffusion tube.
The sample enters at the sample inlet [E], passes the filter [G] and
the flow regulating valve [D], where the sample flow can be adjusted. From there it flows through the diffusion tube [L] in the diisopropylamine bottle [K], picking up diisopropylamine and reaching
pH>10.5. Afterwards, the sample is led directly into the shorter
overflow tube [C]. From there it flows through the hydrazine sensor
[F] and leaves the flow cell via sample outlet [H]. Excess sample
overflows from the shorter overflow tube into the constant head [A],
fills it until the sample overflows into the longer overflow tube. Sample must always overflow into the longer overflow tube to ensure
constant flow and pressure at the hydrazine sensor. The sample
leaves the flow cell via sample outlet [H].

intensity can be measured by a photometer. Refer to an appropriate standard method (e.g. DIN 38413).
The manual sample must be taken from the grab sample outlet of
the flow cell. Let the sample flow out for roughly 1 minute before
grabbing the sample for the manual analysis.
See Calibration of Hydrazine Sensor, p. 46.

A zero point calibration is not necessary.
If your quality procedure specifies a zero point calibration, please
proceed as described below:
Note: Let the instrument run continuously for at least 5 days in
normal operation before doing a zero point calibration!
1 Navigate to menu <Maintenance>/<Calibration>/<Zero Hydra-
zine>.
2 Press [Enter].
3 Follow the instructions on the screen.
During a zero calibration, the sample flow is turned off and the residual hydrazine in the small water volume around the sensor is
consumed within 15–20 min. 0 ppb remains and after 30 min, a
zero calibration is performed.

The sample must always overflow into the longer overflow tube of
the constant head. Only perform process calibration if the difference is significant.
Grab sampleTake a grab sample directly from the flow cell. Open the grab sam-
ple valve and drain water for a minute before taking the sample.
Observe the displayed value of the AMI Hydrazine while taking the
grab sample. The measuring value has to be stable.
Determine the hydrazine concentration of the sample by manual
analysis.
Compare the result with the measuring value of the AMI Hydrazine.
If the measuring value of the AMI Hydrazine has changed while
performing the manual analysis, enter the difference between the
measuring values of the AMI Hydrazine.
ExampleDisplayed measuring value of AMI Hydrazine during grab sample:
10 ppb
Displayed measuring value of AMI Hydrazine after concentration
determination: 15 ppb.
Determined hydrazine concentration: 8 ppb
There is a change of the measurement value of 50% during the
concentration determination. This means, you have to correct the
determined hydrazine concentration also with a factor of 50%.
This will result in a value of 8 ppb + (50% of 8 ppb) = 12 ppb
Finally, you have to enter 12 ppb as a process value at the AMI
transmitter

The reference electrode may be old or damaged. Under the following conditions the reference voltage should be:
In water < 10 ppb oxygen and about 70 ppb hydrazine: ~ 1300 mv
In water with oxygen: ~ 400 mV
CE (counter electrode) value: 200 – 400 mV
Lower values indicate coated hydrazine sensors.
Offset: The offset is approx. 50 nA
An offset calibration is only necessary for Hydrazine values lower
than 0.05 ppb. Running Time at least 24 hours.
Slope: The slope is approx. 55nA/ppb.
Note:
Observe the running in time.
A decreasing slope value over several process calibrations
indicates coating of sensor.
Slope (and Zero) too high indicates usually too little running in time.

output
Signal outputs can be used for driving control units. We distinguish
different kinds of controls:
P-controller: The controller action is proportional to the devia-
tion from the setpoint. The controller is characterized by the
P-Band. In the steady-state, the setpoint will never be
reached. The deviation is called steady-state error.
Parameters: setpoint, P-Band
PI-controller: The combination of a P-controller with an I-con-
troller will minimize the steady-state error. If the reset time is
set to zero, the I-controller is switched off.
Parameters: setpoint, P-Band, reset time.
PD-controller: The combination of a P-controller with a
D-controller will minimize the response time to a fast change
of the process value. If the derivative time is set to zero, the
D-controller is switched off.
Parameters: setpoint, P-Band, derivative time.
PID-controller: The combination of a P-, an I - and a D-con-
troller allows a proper control of the process.
Parameters: setpoint, P-Band, reset time, derivative time.

5.2.1.43.5Control timeout: If a controller action (dosing intensity) is constantly
over 90% during a defined period of time and the process value
does not come closer to the setpoint, the dosing process will be
stopped for safety reasons.
