1.3.Restrictions for use
The sample must not contain any particles, which may block the
flow cell. Sufficient sample flow is coercive for the correct function
of the instrument.
If the sample contains only little disinfectant concentrations, or
there is the danger of biological growth, we recommend to use the
optional Cleaning module from Swan.
WARNING
Health hazard
Some reagents are etching and can cause severe burns or eye
damage.
For safe handling of the reagents you must read and under-
stand the instructions in this manual, as well as the Material
Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)

MSDS
The current Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for the below listed Reagents are available for downloading at www.swan.ch.
The AMI Codes-II analyzer is a complete monitoring system for the
automatic, continuous measurement and dosing control of chlorine
and other disinfectants based on the DPD colorimetric method
AWWA 4500 Cl-G and on EN ISO 7393-2.
It can be used for measuring disinfectants in:
Potable water
Swimming pools
Cooling water
Effluent
Seawater
It is also applicable for water containing additives like corrosion inhibitors, cyanuric acids and antiscalants.
For the determination of free chlorine, chlorine dioxide, bromine
and iodine the reagents:
Oxycon on-line DPD
Oxycon on-line Buffer
are needed.
The measurement of monochloramine or ozone requires an addi-
tional reagent:
Oxycon on-line KI; which is added to Oxycon on-line Buffer

Product Description
FluidicsThe sample flows through the sample inlet [F] and the filter vessel
[G] into the constant head [A]. Adjust the flow regulating valve [D]
so that always a small part of the sample flows through the overflow
tube [B] into the drain [H]. A part of the sample flows through the
photometer inlet [C] into the mixing chamber [E], where the reagents [J] and [K] are added by the peristaltic pump [O] and mixed
with the sample. The mixed sample flows through the photometer
[N] and disinfectant is measured. If KI and Buffer are mixed in the
reagent canister [K] monochloramine is measured.
After the measurement the sample flows through the outlet of the
photometer where it will be aerated through air inlet [P] to generate
bubbles. Then the sample flows through the bubble detector [M]
into the photometer drain [I].

The measuring interval can be set between 1 and 12 minutes. The
time sequence of a measurement with a measuring interval of
5 min is shown in the diagram below.
The blue bar represents the sample which flows continuously
through the photometer. A short time before the measurement
starts, a zero point measurement is performed. Then the peristaltic
pump starts and a small portion of the reagents [J] and [K] is
pumped into the mixing chamber. Shortly after, if the mixture is in
the photometer, the sample is measured.

3.3.Connecting Sample and Waste
Make 3 manual measurements. Use a high quality photometer,
e.g. Chematest from Swan. Calculate average value and compare
this value to the value indicated by the AMI. If necessary, correct
the value. The zero point is done automatically before each measurement.
The first part of this chapter describes the preparing and placing of
the system for use.
The instrument must only be installed by trained personnel.
Mount the instrument in vertical position.
For ease of operation mount it so that the display is at eye
level.
For the installation a kit containing the following installation
material is available:
– 6 Screws 6x60 mm
–6 Dowels
– 6 Washers 6.4/12 mm
The instrument is only intended for indoor installation.

4.4.Fill or Flush Reagent System
Fill or flush the reagent tubing:
upon the initial instrument setup,
after refilling the reagent canisters,
before a system shut-down to flush the system with deminer-
alized water until no more reagent is left in the system.
Navigate to menu< Maintenance /
Service/ Fill system>.
Press [Enter].
The peristaltic pump is activated for
1.5 minutes.
Press [Exit] 4 x to go back to the operating mode.
1 Check tubing and flow cell for leaks and repair if necessary.
2 Let the instrument run continuously for 1 hour.
4.5.Programming
ProgrammingProgram all parameters for external devices (interface, recorders,
etc.)
Program all parameters for instrument operation (disinfectant, lim-
its, alarms).
Program the DPD value of the Verikit in menu <Installation/
Sensors/Ref. Verification>.
If pH option is installed, program the two buffers you want to use for
calibration in menu <Installation/Sensors/Standards>.
See Program List and Explanations, p. 75.

4.6.Calibration
1 Calibrate pH sensor (if option pH is installed).
See Standard pH, p. 52.
2 Perform process calibration.
See Process Calibration of DIS, p. 50
If ordered:
Calibration of
pH sensor
Process DISLet the instrument run for 1 h.
The instrument should be operating for 1h before performing a pH
calibration.
Program the two buffers you want to use for calibration (Installation/
Sensors/Standards). Calibrate the pH sensor with two buffers, e.g.
pH 7.00 and pH 9.00. See chapter Calibration, p. 50 for details.
Use CHEMATEST 25 (or equivalent photometer) to determine the
sample disinfectant concentration. Take the sample directly from
the flow cell. Determine the sample disinfectant value by 3 manual
DPD measurements. Calculate the average value. Compare this
value to the value, indicated by the AMI.
Keep in mind the accuracy of your manual measurement. Only correct the instrument if the difference is significant.
Perform process DIS if necessary. See chapter Calibration, p. 50
for details.

Pollution of reagents possible.
If the occlusion frames are opened during operation, already

6.11.Replacing Fuses
When a fuse has blown, find out the cause and fix it before
replacing it with a new one.
Use tweezers or needle-nosed pliers to remove the defective fuse.
Use original fuses provided by SWAN only.
WARNING
External Voltage.
External supplied devices connected to relay 1 or 2 or to the
alarm relay can cause electrical shocks.
Make sure that the devices connected to the following con-
tacts are disconnected from the power before resuming installation.

Program List and Explanations
As control
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-controller 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.

5.3 Relay Contacts
5.3.1Alarm Relay: The alarm relay is used as cumulative error indicator.
Under normal operating conditions the contact is active.
The contact isinactive at:
Power loss
Detection of system faults like defective sensors or electronic
parts
High case temperature
Lack of reagents
Process values out of programmed ranges.
Program alarm levels, hysteresis values and delay times for the
following parameters:
DIS
pH
Temperature
Sample flow
The alarm values of Sample Flow and Temperature can be
programmed in menu as well (5.3.1.3, p. 87 or 5.3.1.4, p. 88)
