using the flat head screws in the hardware kit.

2. Mount the 3017M in the desired location with user supplied

mounting hardware.

3. Install the Sample Inlet Device in its designated location (if

applicable). Below and to the left of the analyzer is an ideal position.
See Figure 1.

4. Power and RS 485/4 to 20 mA connections are made through the

cable glands that are supplied with the analyzer. The cable glands can
be found on the left-hand side of the analyzer.

5. Wire the main power and any other signal or alarm connections.

6. The terminal block connectors are opened by pushing the 1/16”

screwdriver into the small, square opening adjacent to the opening
for the wire. See Figure 4.

Reagent Preparation

1. Refer to YSI document 330030 for preparation of the reagents.

2. Install a reagent bottle cap assembly (item #332270) to the reagent
containers.

3. Place the indicator reagent on the right-hand side of the enclosure
(closest to the wall of the enclosure).

4. Place the buffer next to it (left-hand side). Refer to Figure 7.

NOTE: Only high purity, chlorine-free water should be used for the
reagents. Deionized (DI) water, at a minimum, is acceptable.

Sample Inlet Device - Overview

The Sample Inlet Device (part #327114, see Figure 6) is a simple, easy-
to-use device that serves as the interface between the sample tap and
the 3017M Chlorine Analyzer. The Sample Inlet Device consists of
inlet and outlet ports, a 60-micron filter for filtration of fine particles, if
necessary, and a 20-psig pressure relief valve.

NOTE: The Sample Inlet Device is an optional accessory, and although
it can add great benefits to the 3017M platform, it is not a required
accessory. The following information pertains to the installation of the
Sample Inlet Device, if this doesn’t apply to your installation of the
3017M please skip to page 11.

Sample Inlet Device - Warnings

The selection of a representative sample is important for optimal
performance of the analyzer and analytical results. The sample must be
representative of the condition of the entire process. Erratic reading
will be realized if the sample is drawn from a location that is too close
to the point of chemical injection, if mixing is incomplete, or if the
chemical reaction is incomplete.

Install sample line taps into the side or center of larger process pipes
to minimize the chance of ingestion of sediment or air bubbles. A
tap projecting into the center of a pipe is an ideal location. Opaque
tubing is recommended if the tubing is exposed to sunlight in order to
prevent algae growth.

Sample Inlet Device - Mounting Location

The ideal location for the Sample Inlet Device is below the 3017M
Chlorine Analyzer and as close as practical to the 1/8-inch quick­connect fitting at the bottom of the analyzer. The installation location
of the Sample Inlet Device should not exceed 3.25 ft. (1 m) from
the analyzer. See Figure 1.

Mounting - Secure the Sample Inlet Device to the wall,

panel, or other structure. A Sample Inlet Device mounting
clip is supplied with the Sample Inlet Device kit. Other
mounting options can be applied to the Sample Inlet Device
but are not supplied by the manufacturer.

Plumbing - Push the 1/4-inch OD tubing into the inlet fitting.
A stop will be felt when the tubing is properly seated in the
fitting. Repeat this process for the outlet fitting. Route the
outlet tubing to an atmospheric drain or sump.

Note: In normal flow applications, the inlet to the Sample
Inlet Device can be on either side. In low flow and/or high
particulate applications make sure the inlet is on the same
side as the sample pick-up line.

1. Gently unscrew the 1/8-inch NPT tube fitting at the top
of the Sample Inlet Device. This fitting has a Teflon® two­piece ferrule. Be sure not to lose the front and back ferrule
when taking apart this fitting. Insert the sample pick-up line
into the fitting.

9

2. Attach the 60 micron filter to the end of the sample
pick-up line, if necessary. It is recommended that the 60
micron filter is used in any application that contains or has
the potential to contain any particulate matter within the
sample.

3. Thread the NPT tube fitting into the Sample Inlet
Device. Position the sample pick-up line/filter approximately
mid-way in the Sample Inlet Device. To secure the sample
pick up line in place gently hand tighten (do not overtighten)
the 1/8-inch nut on the NPT tube fitting.

Installation of the Sample Inlet Device is complete.

Sample Pump Tube Installation

1. Refer to Figure 7.

2. Remove the cover from the sample pump by gently pulling on the
bottom of the pump cover.

3. Position the tube so that the barbed fittings on each end are even.
They will be adjusted in a later step.

4. Locate the package of silicone grease and cut a small opening across
one corner of the package.

5. Apply a thin layer of the silicone grease to the section of the tube that
will mount on the roller in the pump. A small bead of approximately
3 mm in diameter should be sufficient. Spread the grease along the
section of the tube that will contact the pump tube rollers. Do not
apply the grease in excess. There is sufficient grease in the startup kit
for multiple pump tube installations. Remove any excess with a rag or
paper towel.

6. Hold the pump tube over the roller, and gently push the roller onto
the drive shaft of the pump motor.

7. Refer to Figure 8.

8. Snap the cover into place so that the roller stays in place.

9. Gently position the sample pump to remove slack on each tube.

Reagent Tube Installation

1. Refer to Figure 9.

2. Tension the reagent pump tubes by depressing the tensioning levers
downward three “clicks”.

3. This completes the installation of the reagent pump tubes.

NOTE: Do not overtighten the reagent pump tubes. This will lead to
permanent failure.

Startup and Operation

1. Ensure that the main power and the desired aqueous sample are
available to the instrument.

2. Close the fusible link on the terminal block.

3. The analyzer will power on and initiate a self-test. Once the self-test
is completed, the analyzer will come to SHUTDOWN mode. Power is
not removed from the analyzer.

STATUS: SHUTDOWN

MENU

ENTER

4. Using the UP or DOWN button, navigate to the PRIME function and
press ENTER.

5. The sample pump and reagent pump will turn at a higher than normal
speed to fill the sample and reagent lines with liquid.

6. Observe the outlet (waste) line of the measuring cell.

7. If chlorine is present in the water, the water at the outlet of the
measuring cell should turn magenta when the sample and reagents
begin to mix in
the flowcell.

8. When no bubbles are present at the outlet of the measuring cell , the
lines are fully primed with liquid.

9. Using the UP or DOWN button, select STANDBY and ENTER.

10. When you are ready for routine sample analysis, select STARTUP
and ENTER.

13

Startup and Operation, cont’d

11. The STARTUP sequence consists of the following steps and will take
several minutes:

1. PRIME: The sample and reagent pumps will turn at a high

speed to prime the lines with liquid.

2. RINSE: The reagent pump will stop, and the sample pump will

continue to turn and rinse the flowcell with sample.

3. AUTOGAIN SET: The zero point, sample without reagent, is

determined.

4. RUN: The sample pump will return to the speed for normal

operation.

5. INJECT REAGENT: The reagent pump will start and run for the

predetermined amount of time.

6. INTEGRATE: The analyzer measures the absorption of light

that corresponds to the concentration of the sample flowing
through the flowcell.

7. CALCULATE VALUE: The concentration of the sample is

calculated against the calibration curve stored on
the analyzer.

8. DISPLAY VALUE: The concentration of the sample is displayed

on the screen.

12. The analyzer should cycle for 15 – 20 minutes (6 – 8 cycles) before
making comparisons with reference methods and adjusting the
analyzer output.
