1. General Information
This user guide covers the operation, maintenance and troubleshooting for the WE430 Hydrazine
analyzer, which oers unmatched reliability in analyzing oxygen scavengers in feedwater, boiler
water or at the economizer inlet.
n Introduction
Analyzer the oxygen scavenger content at points in the steam/water circuit where dissolved
oxygen control is critical. Residual oxygen scavengers must be carefully monitored to prevent
costly overdosing, yet allow enough of the reductant in the system for metal passivation.
Excess levels of certain oxygen scavengers decompose into ammonia, which increases system
alkalinity. Ecient control of oxygen scavengers depends on maintaining a predetermined safety
zone. The WE430 Hydrazine analyzer optimizes the uidic design with the sensing technology
to provide accurate and precise results with an almost instantaneous indication of oxygen
scavenger concentration changes.
The WE430 Hydrazine analyzer meets all of the criteria for accurate and dependable oxygen
scavenger monitoring and more. The WE430 analyzer incorporates innovative technologies that
include:
• Premium electrodes
• Marquee help screen
• Pump-less reagent addition and dynamic calibration system

• Password protection:
• Security and peace of mind for your operation.
• Auto-ranging electronics with an easy to read backlit LCD display:
• Analyzer determines the best range.
n Application Modes
The versatility of the WE430 Hydrazine analyzer allows the operator to set the analyzer to read
hydrazine, depending on the oxygen scavenger to be measured. Refer to Section 3.1, Use of the
Setup Mode for instructions on how to set the analyzer to read hydrazine.
l Hydrazine Application
Hydrazine Measuring Range: 0 ppb to 200 ppb as hydrazine
In high pressure boiler systems, hydrazine is added to react with dissolved oxygen present in the
system and a small amount of residual hydrazine is left behind. The residual hydrazine ensures
that small amounts of dissolved oxygen that enters the system through leakage will be removed.
Residual hydrazine should be carefully monitored to prevent costly overdosing.
Excess hydrazine may also decompose into ammonia, which increases sample alkalinity and
attacks copper alloy components. Ecient control of hydrazine depends on maintaining a
predetermined safety zone – typically 10 to 50 ppb.

1.1 Principles of Operation
The sample enters the WE430 Hydrazine analyzer and passes through the inlet valve, bypass/
needle valve, inlet lter, pressure regulator, ow meter and into the restrictor tubing. The sample
then passes through the uid connector block into a reagent bottle and through a diusion tubing
assembly where pH adjustment takes place and iodine is added. The pH-adjusted sample then
ows back through the connector block into the reagent mixing loop where the oxygen scavenger
in the sample mixes with iodine reagent to form iodide. The sample then passes the iodide
electrode, reference electrode and temperature probe and ows into an atmospheric drain via the
diverter valve.

IM 12Y18A03-01EN1st Edition : Oct. 04, 2019-00
<1. General Information>
The above equation indicates that the measured potential varies with both temperature and
the concentration of the ion of the interest. In order to eliminate error caused by uctuations in
sample temperature, the WE430 microprocessor constantly updates temperature corrections
from data supplied by the ATC probe.
From the Nernst equation, the theoretical response of a iodide ion selective electrode to a tenfold change in concentration at 25 °C is -59.16 mV. This is referred to as the electrode slope (S).
Most electrodes, however, do not exhibit a theoretical slope. Therefore, the analyzer is calibrated
to determine its actual value. Two standards are used to provide information necessary for the
microprocessor to compute the actual slope and E0 for use during sample analysis.
Acid is added to the sample to prevent a competing reaction from occurring:
-
3I2 + H2O → 5I- + IO
Maintaining acidic conditions prevents the release of iodide which would cause high apparent
reductant readings.
The pH adjustment and iodine addition are accomplished by the patented passive-diusion
process wherein the sample passes through a length of tubing in the reagent bottle that contains
the acid reagent and iodine. The reagent and iodine diuse through the tube wall and mix with
the sample. This passive method eliminates sample contamination problems due to reagent
contamination and makes the uid handling apparatus simple and reliable.

1.2 Principles of Calibration
1-4
Calibration procedures for analytical instruments are important and must be performed carefully.
The WE430 Hydrazine analyzer uses a dynamic two point calibration that utilizes advanced
electrode technology in combination with a dynamic calibrator.
1.2.1 Dynamic Two Point Calibration (DYN)
The dynamic two point calibration procedure provides maximum calibration accuracy and
requires the use of the dynamic calibrator. In addition to calculating the Eo value of the electrode,
as is done in an oine calibration procedure, this procedure determines electrode slope. To
perform a dynamic two point calibration, the WE430 analyzer is rst connected to a reductantfree sample stream. An appropriate diluted standard is prepared and then a syringe is lled
with the diluted standard and mounted on the calibrator. The calibrator is then mounted near
the analyzer and the syringe tubing is connected to the standard injection port. By adjusting the
calibrator pump settings, two dierent ow rates produce two known standards that are diluted
into the sample background. By pressing the appropriate keys on the analyzer when prompted,
the analyzer’s microprocessor completes the calibration. After allowing approximately 30 minutes
for the calibration solution to be ushed from the system, the WE430 analyzer can begin sample
measurement again.
1.2.2 Oine Calibration
In addition to a dynamic two point calibration, an oine calibration can be performed with
some oxygen scavengers. Since the oxygen scavenger concentration in feedwater is normally
controlled over a rather narrow range, usually an oine calibration procedure is sucient to
provide accurate results. The oine calibration procedure has the advantage of being quick and
easy to perform. If sample reductant concentrations are expected to vary widely from day to day
or if online verication of analyzer readings is desired, a dynamic two point calibration should be
performed.
The oine calibration feature of the WE430 analyzer allows the operator to adjust the analyzer to
values determined by alternate methods used in their laboratory such as a standard colorimetric
method.
IM 12Y18A03-01EN1st Edition : Oct. 04, 2019-00
<1. General Information>
The oine calibration is essentially a one point calibration. To perform an oine calibration, a
sample is taken from the bypass of the analyzer; the sample concentration value is stored in
memory; the sample is analyzed by an alternate method of choice; the previously stored reading
is adjusted to the lab method result; and the analyzer is then returned to the analysis mode. The
term “oine calibration” refers only to the fact that a sample from WE430 analyzer bypass is
taken “oine” for laboratory analysis; in fact, no downtime is experienced during the procedure
and the analyzer remains online throughout.

2.8 Installation of a New Reference Electrode
WARNING
Turn o the air pump prior to removing the reference electrode lling solution bottle. If the air
pump is left on, it will spatter lling solution as the bottle is removed.
1. Unpack the reference electrode (Part number: K9705CH) from the shipping box.
2. Carefully remove the protective caps from the bottom and sidearm of the reference
electrode. Save the caps for future storage of the electrode.

3. Shake out as much of the ll solution as possible through the sidearm. Drain the ll solution
through the sidearm or use a pipet or syringe.
4. While passing the 1/8 inch tubing into electrode sidearm, slide the 1/4 inch tubing over the
sidearm. The outside tubing should extend 3/8 to 1/2 inches over sidearm. Refer to Figure
2.9.
5. Remove the cap and uid seal from reference electrode ll solution bottle (Cat. No. 181073).
Hold the bottle in an upright position. Check that the rubber gasket is properly aligned, and
then connect the cap end of the tubing assembly to the bottle. The 1/8 inch tubing should
extend into the bottle.
6. Hold the reservoir bottle above the electrode with the bottle cap end down. The electrode
should be horizontal with the sidearm pointing up. Gently shake the electrode to allow any
trapped air bubbles to rise into the bottle as the electrode lls with solution.
7. Dry o the ceramic frit on the base of the electrode with a lint-free wipe. Squeeze the bottle
for a few seconds. A small amount of lling solution should bead up on the frit surface,
indicating good lling solution ow. If no moisture is visible, the electrode is clogged and
should be cleaned or replaced.
8. Invert the electrolyte bottle and snap it into the clip. Refer to Figure 2.10. Locate the
discharge tube of the air pump on the uidics panel. The end of the tubing has a hollow
push pin for pressurizing the reference reservoir. Puncture the base of the bottle with the
pin and push the pin down until its PVC base abuts the bottle. Mark and date the level of
lling solution in the reservoir. The electrolyte solution will begin to ow into the reference
electrode.

<2. Analyzer Preparation>
CAUTION
Failure to pressurize the lling solution bottle will lead to noisy and drifting output signals.
9. Plug the electrode cable marked “Reference” into the top of the electrode, and tighten the
screw cap. Be sure to push back the black cap to verify a secure connection between the
male and female pin connection prior to tightening.
10. Tighten the screw cap connection to the cable.
NOTE
Do not twist the cable while tightening the connection. Twisting may cause damage requiring
premature replacement of the cable.
11. Insert the reference electrode into its port in the ow cell cap. Refer Figure 2.8 for the
location.

4. Calibration
4.1 Calibration Setup
The WE430 Hydrazine analyzer provides simple and fast calibration cycles using a dynamic two
point calibration procedure, which requires the use of the dynamic calibrator.
To perform a dynamic two point calibration, the WE430 analyzer is rst connected to a reductantfree sample stream. An appropriate diluted standard is prepared and then a syringe is lled
with the diluted standard and mounted on the calibrator. The calibrator is then mounted near
the analyzer and the syringe tubing is connected to the standard injection port. By adjusting the
calibrator pump settings, two dierent ow rates produce two known standards that are diluted
into the sample background.
Prior to performing a calibration, refer to Section 3.1, Use of the Setup Mode for instructions on
how to properly congure the WE430 analyzer and set the analyzer to the hydrazine application
mode.
n DYN Calibration Recommendations
When the WE430 Hydrazine analyzer is rst commissioned, it is advisable to ush out uidics
system overnight prior to the initial calibration and use. The electronics need not be turned on at
this time. Refer to Chapter 4, Rinsing the Flow Cell.
• Install the sensing electrode, reference electrode and ATC probe in their respective ow cell
holders. Refer to Section 2.6, Installation of a New Iodide Electrode, Section 2.7, Installation
of ATC Probe and Section 2.8, Installation of a New Reference Electrode.
• To ensure the analyzer achieves stability and to minimize interference during calibration, the
operator should minimize activity on the system during calibration.
• Maximum system accuracy is ensured through a fast, easy and accurate calibration
performed in the expected sample range. This calibration procedure uses equipment
supplied in the calibration kit including the dynamic calibrator.
• Wait at least one hour to calibrate the analyzer after changing the reagent.
• Use an oxygen scavenger-free sample during calibration.
• Fill and empty the syringe with standard at least three times before connecting the syringe to
the dynamic calibrator.
• Always use a new syringe for each calibration.

4.7 Dynamic Calibrator Check
1. The normal ow rate from the 20 cc syringe when the dynamic calibrator percent ow dial
is set to 500 (equals 50% ow) and when the range switch is set at x/1 is 20 mL/minute.
Therefore, the ow rate at x/10 is 2 mL/minute and at x/100 is 0.2 mL/minute.
2. Place a 10 mL graduated cylinder so that the calibration tubing will reach the top of the
cylinder.
3. Turn the pump range switch to x/100 and allow the ow to begin and to ll the tubing
completely, purging all air bubbles.
4. Simultaneously, insert the calibration tubing into the mouth of the graduated cylinder and
start a stopwatch.
5. Allow the ow to continue into cylinder for exactly ten minutes. Remove the tubing from the
cylinder and the pump o.
The total volume of the graduated cylinder should be 2.0 ± 0.1 mL.
If the total volume is not 2.0 ± 0.1 mL, the ow rate dial may be adjusted using the following
formula:
adjusted ow rate setting = present setting •
For example, if the actual total ow was 1.8 mL, the new ow rate
setting will equal = (500) • (2.0/1.8) = 555
6. Perform the same ow rate check with the range switch on x/10 using a 50 mL graduated
cylinder. Set the percent ow dial to read 500 (50.0%).
7. Allow the ow to continue into cylinder for exactly ve minutes. Remove the tubing from the
cylinder and turn the pump o.
The total volume of the graduated cylinder should be 10.0 ± 1.0 mL.
Fine adjustment of the ow rate dial may be made if the total ow is dierent from the
specied amount.
For example, if the actual total volume was 11.0 mL, the new ow rate
setting will equal = (500) (10.0/11.0) = 455

5.1 Maintenance Schedule
The WE430 Hydrazine analyzer is designed for simple maintenance. Follow the instructions in
this section to ensure proper operation of your analyzer.
n Recommendations
To ensure proper maintenance and good analyzer performance, a service logbook should be
kept.
• Record maintenance date and the type of service work completed.
• Mark the date and the uid levels of the reagent and the date when it was replaced.
• Tag each electrode cable with the installation date of the electrode.
5.2 Weekly Maintenance
1. Check that the sample ow rate is 35 to 45 mL/minute. To alter the ow rate, pull out the
locking knob of the pressure regulator, then rotate the black knob to increase (clockwise) or
decrease (counterclockwise) sample ow. Push in the locking knob of the pressure regulator
to lock the ow rate.
2. Inspect the analyzer for leakage. Diusion tubing leakage is indicated by a rise in the level of
reagent.
3. Check that there are no error indications and that the current concentration level is
reasonable.
4. Check that the reference lling solution is adequate.
5. If required, wipe the analyzer with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust particles.
5-1
5.3 Bi-Weekly Maintenance
Refer to Section 2.8, Installation of a New Reference Electrode.
n Reference Electrode Filling Solution Replacement
WARNING
Turn o the air pump prior to removing the reference electrode lling solution bottle. If the air
pump is left on, it will spatter lling solution as the bottle is removed.
The reference electrode lling solution needs to be replaced approximately every two weeks. If
the reservoir is less than one quarter full, replace the solution. This should be checked every two
weeks to ensure that the electrode does not run dry.
1. Remove the spent electrolyte bottle from the clip. Unscrew the cap and discard the bottle.
2. Remove the cap and seal from the new reference electrode lling solution. Check that the
rubber gasket is properly aligned and then connect the cap and tubing assembly to bottle.
The 1/8’’ tubing should extend into the bottle.
3. Invert the electrolyte bottle and snap it into the clip.
4. Use the special pushpin attached to the pressurized reference assembly on the analyzer to
pierce a hole in the bottom of the bottle and re-pressure the reservoir by the air pump.
5. Dry the frit at the base of the reference electrode. Check the frit to see if a bead of ll
solution forms, which indicates good electrolyte ow.
IM 12Y18A03-01EN1st Edition : Oct. 04, 2019-00
<5. Analyzer Maintenance>
5.4 Monthly Maintenance
Calibration frequency is operator dependent for the most accurate and precise measurements.
5.4.1 Calibration
• Replacement of the reagent requires calibration. Refer to Section 4.4, Performing a DYN
Calibration.
• Calibration intervals can be programmed using the setup mode. This will prompt the
operator to recalibrate after a specic amount of time has passed. Refer to Section 3.1, Use
of the Setup Mode.
5.4.2 Replacement of Sample Inlet Filter
1. If the sample ow can be adjusted with the pressure regulator to 50 mL/minute or more, skip
this procedure.
2. Turn o sample ow by turning the inlet valve to the right.
3. Remove the lter hex cap using a 1 inch open-ended wrench.
4. Separate the lter cap with bypass/needle valve assembly from the lter body, retaining the
ring.
5. Remove the lter element and soft gasket (if necessary).
6. Replace the gasket and press a new sintered element into the lter body.
7. Replace the hex cap and bypass/needle valve assembly and reposition the bypass drain
line into the drain assembly.
8. Retighten the hex cap to approximately 75 pound-inch in torque.
9. Turn on the sample ow by turning the inlet valve left.
10. Check for leaks.
5-2
5.4.3 Polish Iodide Electrode
Refer to Section 2.6, Installation of a New Iodide Electrode.
Polish the iodide electrode according to the instructions that are included with the polishing strips.
Rinse the electrode thoroughly with distilled water, insert the iodide electrode into its holder in the
ow cell and then plug the electrode cable marked “Sensing” into the top of the electrode.
5.4.4 Air Pump Check
The reference electrode ll solution level should drop at least 1/8’’ per month, which indicates
good ow through the electrode frit. If the ow rate is low, the air pump should be tested for
proper operation.
To test the air pump, remove the pushpin and tubing from the reference reservoir. Place the tip of
the pushpin in a beaker of water. Vigorous bubbling should be observed. Normally, the air pump
delivers at least 500 cc/minute of air. Replace the air pump if weak bubbling or no bubbling is
observed. To ensure a tight seal on the reservoir, replace it with a fresh bottle of ll solution (Cat.
No. 181073).

6.2 Slope Problems
6.2.1 Low Slope
Slope less than -40 mV/decade
• Check the electrode function, clean the electrode, recalibrate the analyzer, and if the
analyzer continues to read low, replace the electrode.
• An oxygen scavenger-free sample must be used for calibration.
• Check electronics to read mV input correctly. Use electronic test kit procedure for checking
electronics function.
Ion-selective electrodes (ISE) can be shown as DC-voltage sources with 50 to 1000 Megohm; a
very high output impedance. ISEs respond to ion concentration changes with a voltage change
of approximately -59 mV/decade for monovalent anions such as iodide. Knowing electrode and
analyzers parameters like oset potential, slope, etc allows testing of various instruments by
applying a known mV voltage.

A hard reset should be performed if the analyzer becomes unresponsive or the status indicators
are ashing. Perform the following sequence:
• Carefully open the front cover of the electronics case (loosen the four corner screws).
• Press the small button located on the raised portion of the PCB to reset the electronics.
• Close the front cover of the electronics case and tighten the screws.
System settings and calibrations are preserved and analyzer returns to the measure mode. The
actual value for concentration and temperature will be displayed if the electrodes are properly
installed.
6.4.2 Serial Number and Software Revision
In the event you require technical assistance, please have the serial number available when
calling for assistance along with the software version.
• The analyzer serial number is located on the outside of enclosure.
• The software revision is accessed through the diagnostics mode.
This command resets
all previously set
parameters to factory
default values. Use this
command only to set
the analyzer to original
factory setup values.
