General Information
The COD165 thermoreactor will hold 25 round glass vials with 16 mm
external diameter. It is designed for sample preparation in determining
COD, total phosphorus, total nitrogen, total chromium and other
parameters in water and sludge analysis
paired with the Thermo Scientific Orion COD reagents and the Thermo
Scientific Orion AQUAfast AQ4000 advanced colorimeter or Thermo
Scientific Orion AQUAfast AQ2040 colorimeter, provide the user with a
complete analytical setup for COD analysis
AQUAfast AQ3700 colorimeter also performs COD analysis, as well as
nitr
ogen and phosphate digestion methods.
The COD165 thermoreactor is designed to be highly resistant to chemical
and mechanical corrosion. The heating block that holds the COD vials
allows for very good thermal homogeneity at the selected temperatures. The
temperature of the heating block is microprocessor controlled. The Pt100
temperature probe does not require any calibration, because when the
ument is turned on, a self test is performed.
instr
The COD165 thermoreactor is equipped with a voltage selector for either
115 V or 230 V. It is accessible on the rear panel of the instrument. Always
check the voltage setting before plugging the instrument into a power
outlet

. The Thermo Scientific Orion
The COD165 thermoreactor has five preset work temperatures of
100 °C, 120 °C, 150 °C, 160 °C and 165 °C and four preset run times of
30 minutes, 60 minutes, 120 minutes or continuous time
The heating block is equipped with over-temperature protection by a
thermostat, which turns off heating when the temperature exceeds 180 °C.
Note: The COD165 thermoreactor is delivered complete with three power
cords; one for 110 to 120 V standard US outlets, one for 220 to 240 V
European outlets and one for 230 V Chinese outlets.

Assembly and
Installation
The instrument is equipped with a voltage selector, which allows the
connection to either 115 V or 230 V outlets.
Connecting the
Power Supply
Start Up
Operation Controls
After unpacking the unit, position it correctly on the laboratory bench.
Before connecting it to the power supply, check that the power switch is
turned to “0” and check that the data on the unit’s plate corresponds to
that supplied b
y the electric socket. The unit works at voltages between 90
and 260 V with a frequency of 50 or 60 Hz.
Note: The power switch means that the unit can be completely
disconnected from the power supply when it is not in use, thus reducing
energy consumption
.
Use the power switch on the front of the unit to turn the unit on (turned
to “−”). When it is switched on, all the LEDs on the unit blink for few
seconds. When the LEDs are off, the unit is ready to be programmed at
different work temperatures and times.
ControlDescription
Power SwitchThe switch lights up when the instrument is turned on.
Start/Temp KeyWhen the Start/Temp key is pressed, the work cycle is started
with the selected temperature and time values, which are
indicated by their corresponding LEDs.
To change the temperature, press the Start/Temp key and
select desired temperature. The temperature setting will scroll
down through the four temperatures and the corresponding
LED will light.
Note: It is possible to select different temperatures if the
programmed temperature has not been reached and the timer
is not started. Once timer has started this key is not operative.
If the selected temperature is lower than the actual
temperature of the heating block when the Start/Temp key is
pressed, the cycle will not start and all the LEDs will turn on
intermittently, indicating an error.
To correct this error, select a higher temperature setting
or allow the block to cool to a temp below the set point
temperature.
Time KeyThe timer starts when the block reaches the selected
temperature. While the timer is running, the LED will blink and
the Time key is not operative.
Temperature LEDWhen the instrument is turned on the temperature LEDs
are not lit. Once the Start/Temp key is pressed, the selected
temperature LED will light.
All four LEDs will blink if the selected temperature is lower
than the current block temperature.
Time LEDWhen the instrument is turned on the time LEDs are not
lit. Select the desired run time by pressing the Time key. A
blinking time LED indicates that the timer has started.
