DESCRIPTION AND SPECIFICATIONS 1.1 FEATURES 1.2 SPECIFICATIONS 1.3 ORDERING INFORMATION AND ACCESSORIES • COMPLETE SYSTEM INCLUDES sensor, connecting cable, analyzer, and flow controller • CONTINUOUS pH CORRECTION eliminates expensive and messy reagents and troublesome sample conditioning systems • MEASURES FREE CHLORINE IN SAMPLES having pH as high as 9.5 1 • VARIOPOL QUICK-DISCONNECT FITTINGS make replacing sensors easy • FEATURE-PACKED ANALYZER: dual outputs, three fully-programmable alarm relays, twoline display 1 In some cases, the sensor can be used in samples having pH as great as 10.0. Consult the factory. 1.1 FEATURES The FCL free chlorine system is intended for the determination of free chlorine in fresh water. Unlike free chlorine analyzers from other manufacturers, the FCL does not use expensive sample conditioning systems or messy reagents to control pH. Instead, the analyzer automatically compensates for changes in the pH of the sample. The FCL is not intended for the determination of total chlorine or combined chlorine (like monochloramine). Nor, can the FCL be used for the determination of chlorine in seawater. APPLICATIONS ing by measuring the pH and applying a correction to the raw chlorine sensor signal. The correction is valid between pH 6.0 and 9.5. For samples having pH between 9.5 and 10.0, consult the factory. The FCL is available in two options: Model FCL-01 with manual pH correction and Model FCL-02 with continuous pH correction. Choose the FCL-01 if the pH varies less than 0.2 or if pH changes are predictable or seasonal. Choose the FCL-02 if the pH varies more than 0.2. To provide the continuous pH correction, the FCL-02 requires a separate pH sensor. The Model FCL uses a membrane-covered amperometric sensor. A polarizing voltage applied to a platinum cathode behind the membrane reduces the chlorine diffusing through the membrane and keeps the concentration of chlorine in the sensor equal to zero. The current generated by the cathode reaction is proportional to the rate of diffusion of chlorine through the membrane. Because the concentration of chlorine in the sensor is zero, the diffusion rate and the current are proportional to the concentration of chlorine in the sample. Maintenance is fast and easy. Replacing a membrane requires no special tools or fixtures. A screw cap holds the pre-tensioned membrane in place. Replacing the electrolyte solution takes only minutes. There is a difficulty, however. Amperometric free chlorine sensors measure only hypochlorous acid. Because free chlorine is a pH-dependent mixture of hypochlorous acid and hypochlorite ion, a change in pH will cause the sensor response to change even though the free chlorine level remained constant. Most manufacturers solve the problem by treating the sample with acid, which lowers the pH and converts hypochlorite ion into hypochlorous acid. The FCL avoids the expense and inconvenience of sample condition- Valves, rotameters, and pressure regulators to control sample flow are things of the past with the Model FCL. A constant head overflow sampler ensures the correct sample flow to each sensor. To eliminate wiring hassles, quick-disconnect Variopol cable is standard. The FCL includes the easy-to-use 1055 analyzer. The analyzer features two fully programmable 4-20 mA outputs and three fully programmable relays. The back-lit, two line display allows the user to read sample pH and chlorine concentration at a glance. Stable free chlorine standards do not exist. The chlorine sensor must be calibrated using the results of a laboratory test run on a grab sample. 1 MODEL FCL SECTION 1.0 DESCRIPTION AND SPECIFICATIONS 1.2 SPECIFICATIONS — GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS — ANALYZER Sample requirements: Case: ABS, NEMA 4X Pressure: 3 to 65 psig (122 to 549 kPa abs) A check valve in the inlet prevents the sensor flow cells from going dry if sample flow is lost.

This section describes how to configure and range the outputs. CONFIGURE THE OUTPUTS FIRST. 1. Configuring an output means a. Selecting either a 4-20 mA or 0-20 mA output, b. Assigning a sensor and a measurement (free chlorine or pH) to output 1 and output 2, c. Turning on or turning off output current dampening, d. Choosing a linear or logarithmic output. 2. Ranging the outputs means assigning values to the low (0 or 4 mA) and high (20 mA) outputs. 5.3.2 Definitions 1. CURRENT OUTPUTS. The analyzer provides either a continuous 4-20 mA or 0-20 mA output current directly proportional to chlorine concentration or pH. 2. ASSIGNING OUTPUTS. Figure 5-1 shows the ways in which the outputs can be assigned. 3. DAMPEN. Output dampening smooths out noisy readings. It also increases the response time of the output. With output dampening the time to reach 63% of final reading following a step change is 5 sec. Output dampening does not affect the response time of the display. 4. MODE. The current output can be made directly proportional to the displayed value (linear mode) or directly proportional to the common logarithm of the displayed value (log mode). FIGURE 5-1.

ALARM RELAYS MUST BE CONFIGURED BEFORE ASSIGNING SETPOINTS. 5.4.2 Definitions 1. ASSIGNING ALARMS. There are three alarms (AL1, AL2, and AL3). Alarms 1 and 2 can be assigned to either sensor. For example, AL1 and AL2 can be assigned to sensor 1 with, perhaps, one alarm configured as a high alarm and the other as a low alarm, and AL3 can be assigned to sensor 2. Alarm 3 can be assigned to either sensor or used as a fault alarm. The fault alarm activates when a fault exists in a sensor or the analyzer. 2. FAULT ALARM. A fault condition exists when the Model FCL analyzer detects a problem with a sensor or with the analyzer that is likely to cause seriously erroneous readings. If Alarm 3 was programmed as a fault alarm, the alarm 3 relay will activate. The word Fault will appear alternately in the display with the reading. 3. ALARM LOGIC, SETPOINTS, AND DEADBANDS. See Figures 5-2 and 5-3. FIGURE 5-2. High Alarm Logic FIGURE 5-3. Low Alarm Logic The alarm activates when the pH exceeds the high setpoint. The alarm remains activated until the reading drops below the value determined by the deadband. The alarm activates when the chlorine concentration drops below the low setpoint. The alarm remains activated until the reading increases above the value determined by the deadband. Alarm relays are single pole-double throw (SPDT). When an alarm is activated, the coil is energized. When an alarm activates, AL1, AL2, or AL3 (as appropriate) appears periodically in the display. 17 MODEL FCL SECTION 5.0 PROGRAMMING THE ANALYZER 5.4.3 Procedure: Configuring Alarms To choose a menu item, move the cursor to the item and press ENTER.

Program the analyzer to measure free chlorine (and pH). This step is necessary because the Model FCL analyzer can be used with other sensors to measure other chlorine oxidants. It can also be used to measure ORP (oxidation reduction potential). When used in the Model FCL, the analyzer should be programmed to measure either free chlorine (FCL-01) or free chlorine and pH (FCL-02). 2. Set automatic or manual pH correction for the free chlorine measurement 3. Determine the level of electronic filtering of the sensor current 4. Enable or disable dual slope calibration 5. Make various pH measurement settings. The analyzer supplied with the Model FCL is designed to be as versatile as possible. The pH settings listed below are needed in some applications, but are not used when pH is measured for correcting free chlorine readings. a. solution temperature correction b. analyzer isopotential point c. enable or disable glass impedance fault. The settings should be left at their default values. 5.5.2 Definitions — Chlorine 1. FREE CHLORINE. Free chlorine is the result of adding sodium hypochlorite (bleach), calcium hypochlorite (bleaching powder), or chlorine gas to fresh water. Free chlorine is the sum of hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and hypochlorite ion (OCl-). 2. TOTAL CHLORINE. Total chlorine is the sum of free and combined chlorine. Combined chlorine generally refers to chlorine oxidants in which chlorine is combined with ammonia or organic amines. 3. MONOCHLORAMINE. Monochloramine (NH2Cl) is the product of a chemical reaction between ammonia and chlorine. It is commonly used to disinfect drinking water. 4. pH CORRECTION. Free chlorine is the sum of hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and hypochlorite ion (OCl-). The relative amount of each depends on pH. As pH increases, the concentration of HOCl decreases and the concentration of OCl- increases. Because the sensor responds only to HOCl, a pH correction is necessary to properly convert the sensor current into a free chlorine reading. The FCL uses either automatic or manual pH correction. In automatic pH correction (Model FCL-02), the analyzer continuously monitors the pH of the sample and corrects the free chlorine reading for changes in pH. In manual pH correction, the user must enter the pH of the sample. Generally, if the pH changes more than about 0.2 units over short periods of time, automatic pH correction is best. If the pH is relatively steady or subject only to seasonal changes, manual pH correction is adequate. 5. INPUT FILTER. Before converting the sensor current to a chlorine reading, the analyzer applies an input filter. The filter reduces noisy readings, but increases the response time. The level of filtering is selected by choosing the amount of time required for the display to reach 63% of a step change. 6. DUAL SLOPE CALIBRATION. The free chlorine sensor loses sensitivity at high concentrations of chlorine. The FCL analyzer has a dual slope feature that allows the user to compensate for the non-linearity of the sensor. For the vast majority of applications, dual slope calibration is unnecessary. 20 MODEL FCL SECTION 5.0 PROGRAMMING THE ANALYZER 5.5.3 Definitions — pH/ORP 1. ORP. ORP is oxidation-reduction potential. It is the voltage difference between a noble metal (usually platinum) indicator electrode and a silver/silver chloride reference electrode. Not used with Model FCL. 2. REDOX. Redox is redox potential. Redox potential is measured the same way as ORP. The sign of the redox potential is the negative of ORP. Not used with Model FCL. 3. GLASS IMPEDANCE FAULT. The analyzer continuously measures the impedance of the pH sensor glass membrane. When the analyzer detects low glass impedance, indicating a broken or cracked glass membrane, it automatically displays a fault message. 4. SOLUTION TEMPERATURE CORRECTION. The pH of a solution, particularly an alkaline one, is a function of temperature. If the temperature changes, so does the pH, even though the concentration of the acid or base causing the pH remains constant. Solution temperature compensation converts the pH at the measurement temperature to the pH at a reference temperature (25°C). NOTE IN THE MODEL FCL, pH IS MEASURED FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF CORRECTING A FREE CHLORINE MEASUREMENT. DO NOT USE SOLUTION TEMPERATURE CORRECTION. FREE CHLORINE READINGS MUST BE CORRECTED USING THE pH AT THE ACTUAL SAMPLE TEMPERATURE. 5. ISOPOTENTIAL pH. Does not apply when pH is being measured to correct free chlorine readings. 21 MODEL FCL SECTION 5.0 PROGRAMMING THE ANALYZER 5.5.4 Procedure.

Choose temperature display units (°C or °F). 2. Choose automatic or manual temperature compensation for membrane permeability. 3. Choose automatic or manual temperature compensation for pH. 4. Enter a temperature for manual temperature compensation. 5.6.3 Definitions — chlorine 1. AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION - CHLORINE. The chlorine sensor is a membrane-covered amperometric sensor. The permeability of the membrane is a function of temperature. As temperature increases, membrane permeability increases. Thus, an increase in temperature will cause the sensor current and the analyzer reading to increase even though the chlorine level remained constant. A correction equation in the analyzer software automatically corrects for changes in membrane permeability caused by temperature. In automatic temperature compensation, the analyzer uses the temperature measured by the sensor for the correction. Temperature is also used in the pH correction applied to free chlorine measurements. 2. MANUAL TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION - CHLORINE. In manual temperature compensation, the analyzer uses the temperature entered by the user for membrane permeability and pH correction. It does not use the actual process temperature. Do NOT use manual temperature compensation unless the measurement and calibration temperatures differ by no more than about 2°C. Manual temperature compensation is useful if the sensor temperature element has failed an a replacement sensor is not available. 5.6.3 Definitions — pH 1. AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION — pH. The analyzer uses a temperature-dependent factor to convert measured cell voltage to pH. In automatic temperature compensation, the analyzer measures the temperature and automatically calculates the correct conversion factor. For maximum accuracy, use automatic temperature compensation. 2. MANUAL TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION — pH. In manual temperature compensation, the analyzer converts measured voltage to pH using the temperature entered by the user. It does not use the actual process temperature. Do NOT use manual temperature compensation unless the process temperature varies no more than about ±2°C or the pH is between 6 and 8. Manual temperature compensation is useful if the sensor temperature element has failed and a replacement sensor is not available. 23 MODEL FCL SECTION 5.0 PROGRAMMING THE ANALYZER 5.6.3 Procedure.

The temperature element in each sensor can also be calibrated. Chlorine sensors require periodic full-scale calibration. The purpose of the full-scale standard is to establish the slope of the calibration curve. Because stable chlorine standards do not exist, the sensor must be calibrated against a test run a grab sample of the process liquid. Several manufacturers offer portable test kits for this purpose. New chlorine sensors must be zeroed before being placed in service. Sensors should also be zeroed every time the electrolyte solution is replaced. Zeroing involves placing the sensor in a chlorine-free sample until the sensor current drops to its lowest stable value. For pH sensors, two-point buffer calibration is standard. In auto calibration the analyzer calculates the pH of the buffer from the nominal value entered by the user and does not accept calibration data until readings are stable. In manual calibration the user enters buffer values and judges when readings are stable. The pH reading can also be standardized, that is, forced to match the reading from a referee instrument. Finally, if the user knows the electrode slope (at 25°C), he can enter it directly. 28 MODEL FCL SECTION 6.0 CALIBRATION 6.2 CALIBRATING TEMPERATURE 6.2.1 Purpose Temperature is important in the measurement of chlorine and pH for different reasons. The free chlorine sensor is a membrane-covered amperometric sensor. As the sensor operates, free chlorine diffuses through the membrane and is consumed at an electrode immediately behind the membrane. The reaction produces a current that depends on the rate at which the free chlorine diffuses through the membrane. The diffusion rate, in turn, depends on the concentration of the analyte and how easily it passes through the membrane (the membrane permeability). Because membrane permeability is a function of temperature, the sensor current will change if either the concentration or temperature changes. To account for changes in sensor current caused by temperature alone, the analyzer automatically applies a membrane permeability correction. The membrane permeability changes about 3%/°C at 25°C, so a 1°C error in temperature produces about a 3% error in the reading. Temperature also plays a role in the pH correction applied to free chlorine readings. Temperature is also important in pH measurements. 1. The analyzer uses a temperature dependent factor to convert measured cell voltage to pH. Normally, a slight inaccuracy in the temperature reading is unimportant unless the pH reading is significantly different from 7.00. Even then, the error is small. For example, at pH 12 and 25°C, a 1°C error produces a pH error less than ±0.02. 2. During auto calibration, the analyzer recognizes the buffer being used and calculates the actual pH of the buffer at the measured temperature. Because the pH of most buffers changes only slightly with temperature, reasonable errors in temperature do not produce large errors in the buffer pH. For example, a 1°C error causes at most an error of ±0.03 in the calculated buffer pH. Without calibration the accuracy of the temperature measurement is about ±0.4°C. Calibrate the sensor/analyzer unit if 1. ±0.4°C accuracy is not acceptable 2. the temperature measurement is suspected of being in error.

Remove the sensor from the process. Place it in an insulated container of water along with a calibrated thermometer. Submerge at least the bottom two inches of the sensor. Stir continuously. 2. Allow the sensor to reach thermal equilibrium. For some sensors, the time constant for a change in temperature is 5 min., so it may take as long as 30 min. for temperature equilibration. 3. If the sensor cannot be removed from the process, measure the temperature of a flowing sample taken from a point as close to the sensor as possible. Let the sample continuously overflow an insulated container holding a calibrated thermometer. 4. Change the analyzer display to match the calibrated thermometer using the procedure below.

Calibrating the sensor requires exposing it to a solution containing no chlorine (zero standard) and to a solution containing a known amount of chlorine (full-scale standard). The zero standard is necessary because chlorine sensors, even when no chlorine is in the sample, generate a small current called the residual current. The analyzer compensates for the residual current by subtracting it from the measured current before converting the result to a chlorine value. New sensors require zeroing before being placed in service, and sensors should be zeroed whenever the electrolyte solution is replaced. Either of the following makes a good zero standard: • Deionized water containing about 500 ppm sodium chloride. Dissolve 0.5 grams (1/8 teaspoonful) of table salt in 1 liter of water. DO NOT USE DEIONIZED WATER ALONE FOR ZEROING THE SENSOR. THE CONDUCTIVITY OF THE ZERO WATER MUST BE GREATER THAN 50 μS/cm. • Tap water known to contain no chlorine. Expose tap water to bright sunlight for at least 24 hours. The purpose of the full-scale standard is to establish the slope of the calibration curve. Because stable chlorine standards do not exist, the sensor must be calibrated against a test run on a grab sample of the process liquid. Several manufacturers offer portable test kits for this purpose. Observe the following precautions when taking and testing the grab sample. • Take the grab sample from a point as close to the sensor as possible. Be sure that taking the sample does not alter the flow of the sample to the sensor. It is best to install the sample tap just downstream from the sensor. • Chlorine solutions are unstable. Run the test immediately after taking the sample. Try to calibrate the sensor when the chlorine concentration is at the upper end of the normal operating range. Free chlorine measurements also require a pH correction. Free chlorine is the sum of hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and hyprochlorite ion (OCl-). The relative amount of each depends on the pH. As pH increases, the concentration of HOCl decreases and the concentration of OCl- increases. Because the sensor responds only to HOCl, a pH correction is necessary to properly convert the sensor current into a free chlorine reading. The analyzer can use either automatic or manual pH correction. In automatic pH correction, the analyzer continuously monitors the pH of the solution and corrects the free chlorine reading for changes in pH. In manual pH correction, the user must enter the pH of the solution. Generally, if the pH changes more than about 0.2 units over short periods of time, automatic pH correction is best. If the pH is relatively steady or subject only to seasonal changes, manual pH correction is adequate. During calibration, the analyzer must know the pH of the solution. If the analyzer is using automatic pH correction, the pH sensor (properly calibrated) must be in the process liquid before starting the calibration. If the analyzer is using manual pH correction, be sure to enter the pH value before starting the calibration. The free chlorine sensor loses sensitivity at high concentrations of chlorine. The FCL analyzer has a dual slope feature that allows the user to compensate for the non-linearity of the sensor. However, for the vast majority of applications, dual slope calibration is unnecessary. FIGURE 6-1. Sensor Current as a Function of Free Chlorine Concentration 31 MODEL FCL SECTION 6.0 CALIBRATION 6.3.2 Procedure — Zeroing the sensor. 1. Place the sensor in the zero standard. See Section 6.3.1 for suggested zero standards. Be sure no air bubbles are trapped against the membrane. The sensor current will drop rapidly at first and then gradually reach a stable zero value. To monitor the sensor current, go to the main display and press ' until the sensor input current is showing. Typical zero current for a free chlorine sensor is in the range -10 to +10 nA. A new sensor or a sensor in which the electrolyte solution has been replaced may require several hours (occasionally as long as overnight) to reach a minimum zero current. DO NOT START THE ZERO ROUTINE UNTIL THE SENSOR HAS BEEN IN ZERO SOLUTION FOR AT LEAST TWO HOURS. Calibrate Hold Program 2. Press MENU. The main menu screen appears. Choose Calibrate.

NOTE Pressing ENTER during the zero step will cause the analyzer to use the present sensor current as the zero current. If the sensor is zeroed before the current has reached a minimum stable value, subsequent readings will be in error. After zeroing, leave the sensor in the zero solution and verify that the sensor current is between -10 and +10 nA. To display the sensor current, go the the main display and press 'until the input current is showing. 8. This screen appears if the zero current is extremely high. See Section 8.3 for troubleshooting. To repeat the zero step, press EXIT and choose Zero. Current Too High Possible ZeroErr Proceed? 32 Yes No 9.

Dual slope calibration, described is section 6.3.4, is rarely needed. 1. Place the chlorine sensor in the chlorine flow cell. If automatic pH correction is being used, calibrate the pH sensor (section 6.4) and place it in the pH flow cell. If manual pH correction is being used, measure the pH of the sample and enter the value. See Section 5.5. Adjust the sample flow until water overflows the center tube in the constant head cup. 2.

Change the reading in the second line to match the results of the grab sample test. 8. During calibration, the analyzer stores the measured current and calculates the sensitivity. Sensitivity is sensor current in nA divided by the concentration of chlorine. The sensitivity of a 499ACL-01 (free chlorine) sensor is 250-350 nA/ppm at 25°C and pH 8. Possible Cal Err Proceed?

To repeat the calibration step, press EXIT and choose InProcess. 10. This screen appears if the sensitivity is moderately higher or lower than expected. To continue, choose Yes. To repeat the calibration, choose No. For troubleshooting assistance, see Section 8.3. 33 MODEL FCL SECTION 6.0 CALIBRATION 6.3.4 Procedure — Calibrating the sensor (dual slope) Figure 6-2 shows the principle of dual slope calibration. Between zero and concentration C1, the sensor response is linear. When the concentration of chlorine becomes greater than C1, the response is non-linear. In spite of the non-linearity, the response can be approximated by a straight line between point 1 and point 2. Dual slope calibration is rarely needed. It is probably useful in fewer than 5% of applications. 1. Place the sensor in the zero standard. See Section 6.3.1. Be sure no air bubbles are trapped against the membrane. The sensor current will drop rapidly at first and then gradually reach a stable zero value. To monitor the sensor current, go to the main display and press 'until the sensor input current is showing. Typical zero current for a free chlorine sensor is between -10 and +10 nA. FIGURE 6-2.

New sensors must be calibrated before use. Regular recalibration is also necessary. 2. Use auto calibration instead of manual calibration. Auto calibration avoids common pitfalls and reduces errors. 6.4.2 Definitions 1. AUTO CALIBRATION. The analyzer recognizes the buffers and uses temperature-corrected pH values in the calibration. The table lists the buffers the FCL analyzer recognizes. pH at 25°C (nominal pH) Standard(s) 1.68 NIST, DIN 19266, JSI 8802, BSI (see note 1) 3.56 NIST, BSI 3.78 NIST 4.01 NIST, DIN 19266, JSI 8802, BSI 6.86 NIST, DIN 19266, JSI 8802, BSI 7.00 (see note 2) 7.41 NIST 9.18 NIST, DIN 19266, JSI 8802, BSI 10.01 NIST, JSI 8802, BSI 12.45 NIST, DIN 19266 Note 1: NIST is National Institute of Standards, DIN is Deutsche Institute für Normung, JSI is Japan Standards Institute, and BSI is British Standards Institute. Note 2: pH 7 buffer is not a standard buffer. It is a popular commercial buffer in the United States. The analyzer also measures noise and drift and does not accept calibration data until readings are stable. Calibration data will be accepted as soon as the pH reading is constant to within 0.02 units for 10 seconds. The stability settings cannot be changed. 2. SLOPE AND OFFSET. Once the analyzer successfully completes the calibration, it calculates and displays the calibration slope and offset. The slope is reported as the slope at 25°C. Figure 6-3 defines the terms. 6.4.3 Procedure 1. Obtain two buffer solutions. Ideally the buffer pH values should bracket the range of pH values to be measured. 2. Remove the sensor from the flow cell. If the process and buffer temperatures are appreciably different, place the sensor in a container of tap water at the buffer temperature. Do not start the calibration until the sensor has reached the buffer temperature. Thirty minutes is usually adequate. FIGURE 6-3. Calibration Slope and Offset 3.

Regular recalibration is also necessary. 2. Use manual calibration if non-standard buffers are being used; otherwise, use auto calibration. Auto calibration avoids common pitfalls and reduces errors. 6.5.2 Definitions 1. MANUAL CALIBRATION. In auto calibration the analyzer recognizes the buffer and uses the temperature-corrected pH value in the calibration. The analyzer also measures noise and drift and does not accept calibration data until readings are stable. During manual calibration, the user must judge when readings are stable and look up and enter the buffer values. 2. SLOPE AND OFFSET. Once the FCL successfully completes the calibration, it calculates and displays the calibration slope and offset. The slope is reported as the slope at 25ºC. Figure 6-1 defines the terms. 6.5.3 Procedure 1. Obtain two buffer solutions. Ideally, the buffer pH values should bracket the range of pH values to be measured. Also obtain a thermometer. The pH of most buffer solutions is a function of temperature. To calibrate the sensor properly, the pH of the buffer at the measurement temperature must be entered in the analyzer. 2. Remove the sensor from the process liquid. If the process and buffer temperature are appreciably different, place the sensor in a container of tap water at the buffer temperature. Do not start the calibration until the sensor has reached the buffer temperature. Thirty minutes is usually adequate. 3.

The pH measured by the FCL analyzer can be changed to match the reading from a second or referee instrument. The process of making the two readings agree is called standardization. 2. During standardization, the difference between the two pH values is converted to the equivalent voltage. The voltage, called the reference offset, is added to all subsequent measured cell voltages before they are converted to pH. If a standardized sensor is placed in a buffer solution, the measured pH will differ from the buffer pH by an amount equivalent to the standardization offset. 6.6.2 Procedure 1. Install the sensor in the flow cell. 2. Once readings are stable, measure the pH of the liquid using a referee instrument. 3. Because the pH of the process liquid may change if the temperature changes, measure the pH of the grab sample immediately after taking it. 4. For poorly buffered samples, it is best to determine the pH of a continuously flowing sample from a point as close as possible to the sensor. 5.

Clean the analyzer case and front panel by wiping with a clean soft cloth dampened with water ONLY. Do not use solvent, like alcohol, that might cause a buildup of static charge. Only a few components of the analyzer are replaceable. See Table 7-1 and Figure 7-1. Circuit boards are not replaceable. If the analyzer must be replaced, order as shown below. Model Order analyzer FCL-01 (free chlorine only) 1055-01-11-24-68 FCL-02 (free chlorine and pH) 1055-01-11-24-32-68 Replacing the analyzer. 1. Turn off power to the FCL. 2. Loosen the four screws holding the front panel to the enclosure case and let the panel swing down. 3. Disconnect the power, alarm, output, and sensor wires. 4. The front panel is held to the rear enclosure by a -shaped metal pin inserted into clips on each side of the rear enclosure. To remove the front panel, close the panel until the pin moves slightly past the open end of one of the clips. Using a small screwdriver, press down on the top of the clip. At the same time lift the pin over the end of the clip. Once one end of the pin is free, the other end easily slides out of the other clip. 5. Using the procedure in step 4, remove the front panel from the replacement analyzer. 6. To install the replacement panel, place one end of the pin in one of the clips. Push the other end of the pin over the other clip. The pin will snap into place. 7. Replace the power, alarm, output, and sensor wires. See Section 3.0 for wiring connections. For Model FCL-02 (free chlorine and pH) be sure to connect the jumper between TB5-6 and TB3-1. Be sure to leave adequate slack to avoid stress on the conductors when the panel is opened. 42 MODEL FCL SECTION 7.0 MAINTENANCE TABLE 7-1.

CAUTION: PRESSURIZED SPRAY INJURY Before removing the sensor from the process stream for maintenance, be sure the process pressure is reduced to 0 psig and the process temperature is at a safe level! 7.2.1 General. When used in clean water, the chlorine sensor requires little maintenance. Generally, the sensor needs maintenance when the response becomes sluggish or noisy or when readings drift following calibration. For a sensor used in potable water, expect to clean the membrane every month and replace the membrane and electrolyte solution every three months. In water containing large amounts of suspended solids, for example open recirculating cooling water, membrane cleaning or replacement will be more frequent. 7.2.2 Cleaning the membrane. Clean the membrane with water sprayed from a wash bottle. Do not use tissues to clean the membrane. 7.2.3 Replacing the electrolyte solution and membrane. 1. Unscrew the membrane retainer and remove the membrane assembly and O-ring. See Figure 7-2. 2. Hold the sensor over a container with the cathode pointing down. 3. Remove the fill plug and allow the electrolyte solution to drain out. 4. Inspect the cathode. If it is tarnished, clean it using a cotton-tipped swab dipped in baking soda or alumina. Use type A dry powder alumina intended for metallographic polishing of medium and soft metals. Rinse thoroughly with water. 5. Wrap the plug with several turns of pipe tape and set aside. 6. Prepare a new membrane. Hold the membrane assembly with the cup formed by the membrane and membrane holder pointing up. Fill the cup with electrolyte solution and allow the wooden ring to soak up the solution (usually takes several minutes). 7. Hold the sensor at about a 45-degree angle with the cathode end pointing up. Add electrolyte solution through the fill hole until the liquid overflows. Tap the sensor near the threads to release trapped air bubbles. Add more electrolyte solution if necessary. 8. Place the fill plug in the electrolyte port and begin screwing it in. After several threads have engaged, rotate the sensor so that the cathode is pointing up and continue tightening the fill plug. Do not overtighten. 9. Place a new O-ring in the groove around the cathode post. Cover the holes at the base of the cathode stem with several drops of electrolyte solution. 10. Insert a small blunt probe, like a toothpick with the end cut off, through the pressure equalizing port. See Figure 7-2. NOTE Do not use a sharp probe. It will puncture the bladder and destroy the sensor. Gently press the probe against the bladder several times to force liquid through the holes at the base of the cathode stem. Keep pressing the bladder until no air bubbles can be seen leaving the holes. Be sure the holes remain covered with electrolyte solution. 11. Place a drop of electrolyte solution on the cathode, then place the membrane assembly over the cathode. Screw the membrane retainer in place. 12. The sensor may require several hours operating at the polarizing voltage to equilibrate after the electrolyte solution has been replenished. 44 MODEL FCL SECTION 7.0 MAINTENANCE FIGURE 7-2.

When used in clean water, the pH sensor requires little maintenance. Generally, the sensor needs maintenance when the response becomes sluggish or noisy. In clean water the typical cleaning frequency is once a month. In water containing large amounts of suspended solids, for example open recirculating cooling water, cleaning frequency will be substantially greater. 7.3.2 Cleaning the Sensor Remove soft deposits by rinsing with a stream of water from a wash bottle. If the sensor becomes coated with rust, dissolve the rust by soaking the sensor in dilute hydrochloric acid (mix 5 mL of concentrated hydrochloric acid with 100 mL of water) for no longer than 5 minutes at room temperature. Rinse the sensor thoroughly with water and soak in pH 4 buffer for several hours. Recalibrate the sensor in buffers before returning it to service. 7.3.3 Other Maintenance The 399VP-09-305 pH sensor supplied with the Model FCL-02 is disposable. It has no replaceable parts. 45 MODEL FCL SECTION 7.0 MAINTENANCE 7.4 CONSTANT HEAD FLOW CONTROLLER 7.4.2 Cleaning the flow controller 7.4.1 General The low flow controller can be taken apart completely for cleaning. Use a strong flow of water to flush out the tubing. A pipe cleaner or a small bottlebrush can remove more adherent deposits. To prevent leaks, apply a thin layer of silicone grease (or equivalent) to the two O-rings at the base of overflow chamber and to the O-ring sealing the central overflow tube to the base. After a period of time, deposits may accumulate in the constant head overflow chamber and in the tubing leading to the flow cell(s). Deposits increase the resistance to flow and cause the flow to gradually decrease. Loss of flow may ultimately have an impact on the chlorine sensor performance. The flow controller is designed to provide about 2 gal/hr flow. Loss of flow to about 1 gal/hr causes a 10-15% drop in chlorine sensor output. Loss of flow has almost no effect on pH sensor performance other than to increase the overall response time of the sensor. 46 7.4.3 Other Maintenance Table 7-3 and Figure 7-3 show the replacement parts for the flow controller assembly used in Model FCL-01. MODEL FCL SECTION 7.0 MAINTENANCE TABLE 7-3.

When the analyzer detects a fault, the word fault appears in the display alternately with the measurement. If alarm 3 was configured as a fault alarm, the alarm relay will energize. The outputs do not change during a fault condition. They continue to reflect the measured chlorine, pH or temperature. Press p to display the fault codes. NOTE A large number of information screens are available to aid troubleshooting. The most useful of these are raw sensor current and sensitivity and zero current at last calibration. For pH measurements (available with Model FCL-02), sensor slope and offset and glass impedance are also available. To view the information screens, go to the main display and press the q key. 8.2 TROUBLESHOOTING USING FAULT CODES Fault Code S1 Out of Range S2 Out of Range S2 Broken Glass TC1 Open or TC2 Open TC1 Shorted or TC2 Shorted S1 or S2 Sense Line Open EEPROM Failure Explanation Sensor current exceeds 210 μA (chlorine only) Absolute value of measured voltage exceeds 2500 mV (pH/ORP only) pH sensitive glass membrane is broken RTD for sensor 1 or sensor 2 is open RTD for sensor 1 or sensor 2 is shorted RTD sense line for sensor 1 or sensor 2 is open EEPROM failure See Section 8.2.1 8.2.2 8.2.3 8.2.4 8.2.4 8.2.5 8.2.6 8.2.1 Chlorine Sensor Current Exceeds 210 μA Excessive sensor current implies that the chlorine sensor is miswired or the sensor has failed. 8.2.2 Absolute Value of Measured Voltage from the pH Sensor Exceeds 2500 mV The voltage of a pH cell is usually between 600 mV and -600 mV. Readings outside the range -2500 mV to 2500 mV usually indicate a problem with sensor wiring or analyzer electronics. A. If the sensor cable has just been replaced, check the wiring connections. See Section 3.2. B. Verify that the sensor is completely submerged in the sample. 49 MODEL FCL SECTION 8.0 TROUBLESHOOTING 8.2.3 pH Sensitive Glass Membrane is Broken The analyzer continuously measures the impedance between the reference electrode and the inside of the pHsensing electrode. If the glass membrane is intact, the impedance is normally between 10 MΩ and 1000 MΩ. If the membrane is cracked or broken, the impedance drops below 10 MΩ. If the membrane is cracked or broken, the sensor must be replaced. 8.2.4 RTD for Sensor 1 or Sensor 2 Open or Shorted. There is an open or short in the sensor RTD or wiring. A. If the sensor cable has just been replaced, check the wiring connections. See Section 3.2. B. Disconnect the sensor from the lead wire. Connect an ohmmeter across the RTD IN and RTD RETURN pins on the Variopol plug at the top of the sensor. Refer to Figure 8-1 or 8-2. The resistance should be about 110 Ω. If there is an open or short circuit, the sensor has failed and should be replaced. If the resistance is acceptable, attach the sensor the Variopol cable and disconnect the RTD IN and RTD RETURN leads at the analyzer. Refer to Figure 3-2 or Figure 3-3. Connect an ohmmeter across the leads and measure the resistance. If the circuit is open or shorted, the failure is in the cable, and the cable must be replaced. C. If there is no open or short, check the analyzer. See Section 8.8. FIGURE 8-1. Pin Out Diagram for Model 499ACL-01-VP Sensor (top view of connector end of sensor) FIGURE 8-2. Pin Out Diagram for Model 399VP-09 Sensor (top view of connector end of sensor) 8.2.5 RTD Sense Line for Sensor 1 or Sensor 2 is Open. The analyzer measures temperature using a three-wire RTD. See Figure 8-4. The in and return leads connect the RTD to the measuring circuit in the analyzer. A third wire, called the sense line, is connected to the return line. The sense line allows the analyzer to correct for the resistance of the in and return leads and to correct for changes in lead wire resistance caused by changes in the ambient temperature. A. Verify that all wiring connections are secure. B. The system can be operated with the sense line open. The measurement will be less accurate because the analyzer can no longer correct for lead wire resistance and for changes in lead wire resistance with ambient temperature. However, if the sensor is to be used at approximately constant temperature, the lead wire resistance error can be eliminated by calibrating the sensor at the measurement temperature. Errors caused by changes in lead wire resistance with changes in ambient temperature cannot be eliminated.To make the error message disappear, connect the RTD sense and return terminals with a jumper. 8.2.6 EEPROM Failure.

Is the sensor properly wired to the analyzer? See Section 3.2. B. Is the zero solution chlorine-free? Take a sample of the solution and test it for free chlorine level. The concentration should be less than 0.02 ppm. C. Has adequate time been allowed for the sensor to reach a minimum stable residual current? It may take several hours, sometimes as long as overnight, for a new sensor to stabilize. D. Check the membrane for damage and replace it if necessary. 8.3.2 Zero current is unstable A. Is the sensor properly wired to the analyzer? See Section 3.2. Verify that all wiring connections are tight. B. Readings are often erratic when a new or rebuilt sensor is first placed in service. Readings usually stabilize after about an hour. C. Is the conductivity of the zero solution greater than 50 µS/cm? DO NOT USE DEIONIZED OR DISTILLED WATER TO ZERO THE SENSOR. The zero solution should contain at least 0.5 grams of sodium chloride per liter. D. Is the space between the membrane and cathode filled with electrolyte solution and is the flow path between the electrolyte reservoir and membrane clear? Often the flow of electrolyte and be started by simply holding the sensor with the membrane end pointing down and sharply shaking the sensor a few times as though shaking down a clinical thermometer. If shaking does not work, try clearing the holes around the cathode stem. Hold the sensor with the membrane end pointing up. Unscrew the membrane retainer and remove the membrane assembly. Be sure the wood ring remains with the membrane assembly. Use the end of a straightened paper clip to clear the holes at the base of the cathode stem. Replace the membrane. Verify that the sensor is filled with electrolyte solution. Refer to Section 7.2. 51 MODEL FCL SECTION 8.0 TROUBLESHOOTING 8.3.3 Sensor can be calibrated, but the current is too low A. Is the temperature low or is the pH high? Sensor current is a strong function of pH and temperature. The sensor current decreases about 3% for every °C drop in temperature. Sensor current also decreases as pH increases. Above pH 7, a 0.1 unit increase in pH lowers the current about 5%. B. Sensor current depends on the rate of sample flow past the sensor tip. If the flow is too low, chlorine readings will be low. Verify that the chlorine sensor is installed in the correct flow cell. See Figure 2-1. Be sure the liquid level in the constant head sampler is level with the central overflow tube and that excess sample is flowing down the tube. If necessary, disassemble and clean the overflow sampler. See Section 7.4. C. Low current can be caused by lack of electrolyte flow to the cathode and membrane. See step D in Section 8.3.2. D. Is the membrane fouled or coated? A dirty membrane inhibits diffusion of free chlorine through the membrane, reducing the sensor current and increasing the response time. Clean the membrane by rinsing it with a stream of water from a wash bottle. DO NOT use a membrane or tissue to wipe the membrane. E. If cleaning the membrane does not improve the sensor response, replace the membrane and electrolyte solution. If necessary, polish the cathode. See Section 7.2 for details. 8.3.4 Process readings are erratic A. Readings are often erratic when a new sensor or a rebuilt sensor is first placed in service. The current usually stabilizes after a few hours. B. Are the holes between the membrane and the electrolyte reservoir open? Refer to Section 8.3.2. C. Verify that wiring is correct. Pay particular attention to shield and ground connections. D. If automatic pH correction is being used, check the pH reading. If the pH reading is noisy, the chlorine reading will also be noisy. If the pH sensor is the cause of the noise, use manual pH correction until the problem with the pH sensor can be corrected. Also, refer to Section 8.4.8 for troubleshooting noisy pH readings. E. Is the membrane in good condition and is the sensor filled with electrolyte solution? Replace the fill solution and electrolyte. Refer to Section 7.2 for details. 8.3.5 Readings drift A. Is the sample temperature changing? Membrane permeability is a function of temperature. The time constant for the 499ACL-01 sensor is about five minutes. Therefore, the reading may drift for a while after a sudden temperature change. B. Is the membrane clean? For the sensor to work properly, chlorine must diffuse freely through the membrane. A coating on the membrane will interfere with the passage of chlorine, resulting in slow response. Clean the membrane by rinsing it with a stream of water from a wash bottle. DO NOT use a membrane or tissue to wipe the membrane. C. Is the sample flow within the recommended range? Gradual loss of sample flow will cause a downward drift. Be sure the liquid level in the constant head sampler is level with the central overflow tube and that excess sample is flowing down the tube. If necessary, disassemble and clean the overflow sampler. See Section 7.4. D. Is the sensor new or has it been recently serviced? New or rebuilt sensors may require several hours to stabilize. E. Is the pH of the process changing? If manual pH correction is being used, a gradual change in pH will cause a gradual change in the chlorine reading. As pH increases, chlorine readings will decrease, even though the free chlorine level (as determined by a grab sample test) remained constant. If the pH change is no more than about 0.2, the change in the chlorine reading will be no more than about 10% of reading. If the pH changes are more than 0.2, use automatic pH correction. 52 MODEL FCL SECTION 8.0 TROUBLESHOOTING 8.3.6 Sensor does not respond to changes in chlorine level. A. Is the grab sample test accurate? Is the grab sample representative of the sample flowing to the sensor? B. Is sample flowing past the sensor? Be sure the liquid level in the constant head sampler is level with the central overflow tube and that excess sample is flowing down the tube. If necessary, disassemble and clean the overflow sampler. See Section 7.4. C. Is the pH compensation correct? If the analyzer is using manual pH correction, verify that the pH value in the analyzer equals the actual pH to within ±0.1 pH. If the analyzer is using automatic pH correction, check the calibration of the pH sensor. D. Is the membrane clean? Clean the membrane and replace it if necessary. Check that the holes at the base of the cathode stem are open. Use a straightened paper clip to clear blockages. Replace the electrolyte solution. E. Replace the sensor. 8.3.7 Chlorine readings spike following sudden changes in pH (automatic pH correction). Changes in pH alter the relative amounts of hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and hypochlorite ion (OCl-) in the sample. Because the sensor responds only to HOCl, an increase in pH causes the sensor current (and the apparent chlorine level) to drop even though the actual free chlorine concentration remained constant. To correct for the pH effect, the controller automatically applies a correction. Generally, the pH sensor responds faster than the chlorine sensor. After a sudden pH change, the controller will temporarily over-compensate and gradually return to the correct value. The time constant for return to normal is about 5 minutes. 8.3.8 Chlorine readings are too low. A. Was the sample tested as soon as it was taken? Chlorine solutions are unstable. Test the sample immediately after collecting it. Avoid exposing the sample to sunlight. B. Low readings can be caused by zeroing the sensor before the residual current has reached a stable minimum value. Residual current is the current the sensor generates even when no chlorine is in the sample. Because the residual current is subtracted from subsequent measured currents, zeroing before the current is a minimum can lead to low results. Example: The true residual current for a free chlorine sensor is 4 nA, and the sensitivity is 350 nA/ppm. Assume the measured current is 200 nA. The true concentration is (200-4)/350 or 0.56 ppm. If the sensor was zeroed prematurely when the current was 10 nA, the measured concentration will be (200-10)/350 or 0.54 ppm. The error is 3.6%. Suppose the measured current is 400 nA. The true concentration is 1.13 ppm, and the measured concentration is 1.11 ppm. The error is now 1.8%. The absolute difference between the reading remains the same, 0.02 ppm. C. Sensor response depends on flow. If the flow is too low, readings will be low and flow sensitive. Verify that the chlorine sensor is installed in the correct flow cell. See Figure 2-1. Verify that the liquid level in the constant head sampler is level with the central overflow tube and that excess sample is flowing down the tube. If necessary, disassemble and clean the overflow sampler. See Section 7.4. 53 MODEL FCL SECTION 8.0 TROUBLESHOOTING 8.4 TROUBLESHOOTING WHEN NO ERROR MESSAGE IS SHOWING — pH.

A. Is the standard thermometer, RTD, or thermistor accurate? General purpose liquid-in-glass thermometers, particularly ones that have been mistreated, can have surprisingly large errors. B. Is the temperature element in the pH sensor completely submerged in the test liquid? C. Is the standard temperature sensor submerged to the correct level? D. Review Section 6.2. 8.4.2 Calibration Error During Two-Point Calibration Once the two-point (manual or automatic) calibration is complete, the analyzer automatically calculates the sensor slope (at 25°). If the slope is greater than 60 mV/pH or less than 45 mV/pH, the analyzer displays the Calibration Error screen and does not update the calibration. Check the following: A. Are the buffers accurate? Inspect the buffers for obvious signs of deterioration, such as turbidity or mold growth. Neutral and slightly acidic buffers are highly susceptible to molds. Alkaline buffers (pH 9 and greater), if they have been exposed to air for long periods, may also be inaccurate. Alkaline buffers absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, which lowers the pH. If a high pH buffer was used in the failed calibration, repeat the calibration using a fresh buffer. If fresh buffer is not available, use a lower pH buffer. For example, use pH 4 and 7 buffer instead of pH 7 and 10 buffer. B. Was adequate time allowed for temperature equilibration? If the sensor was in a process substantially hotter or colder than the buffer, place it in a container of water at ambient temperature for at least 20 minutes before starting the calibration. Using auto calibration avoids calibration errors caused by temperature drift. The analyzer will not update readings until the drift is less than 0.02 pH over 10 seconds. C. Were correct pH values entered during manual calibration? Using auto calibration eliminates errors caused by improperly entering data. D. Is the sensor properly wired to the analyzer? See Section 3.2. E. Is the sensor dirty or coated? See Section 7.3.2.. Glass Imp 123M^ F. Is the sensor faulty? With the main display showing, use p or q to scroll through the information screens until the electrode impedance screen (at left) is displayed. Refer to the table on the following page for an interpretation of the impedance readings. Another way of checking for a faulty sensor is to replace it with a new one. If the new sensor can be calibrated, the old sensor has failed. G. Is the analyzer faulty? The best way to check for a faulty analyzer is to simulate pH inputs. See Section 8.9. 54 MODEL FCL SECTION 8.0 TROUBLESHOOTING GLASS IMPEDANCE (Glass Imp) less than 10 MΩ Glass bulb is cracked or broken. Sensor has failed. between 10 and 1000 MΩ Normal reading. greater than 1000 MΩ pH sensor may be nearing the end of its service life. 8.4.3 Calibration Error during Standardization. During standardization, the millivolt signal from the pH cell is increased or decreased until it agrees with the pH reading from a referee instrument. A unit change in pH requires an offset of about 59 mV. The analyzer limits the offset to ±1400 mV. If the standardization causes an offset greater than ±1400 mV, the analyzer will display the Calibration Error screen. The standardization will not be updated. Check the following: A. Is the referee pH meter working and properly calibrated? Check the response of the referee sensor in buffers. B. Is the process sensor working properly? Check the process sensor in buffers. C. Is the sensor fully immersed in the process liquid? If the sensor is not completely submerged, it may be measuring the pH of the liquid film covering the glass bulb and reference element. The pH of this film may be different from the pH of the bulk liquid. D. Is the sensor fouled? The sensor measures the pH of the liquid adjacent to the glass bulb. If the sensor is heavily fouled, the pH of liquid trapped against the bulb may be different from the bulk liquid. E. Has the sensor been exposed to poisoning agents (sulfides or cyanides) or has it been exposed to extreme temperature? Poisoning agents and high temperature can shift the reference voltage many hundred millivolts. To check the reference voltage, see Section 8.9. 8.4.4 Invalid Input While Manually Entering Slope. If the sensor slope is known from other sources, it can be entered directly into the analyzer. The FCL will not accept a slope (at 25°C) outside the range 45 to 60 mV/pH. See section 8.4.2 for troubleshooting sensor slope problems. 8.4.5 Sensor Does Not Respond to Known pH Changes. A. Did the expected pH change really occur? If the process pH reading was not what was expected, check the performance of the sensor in buffers. Also, use a second pH meter to verify the change. B. Is sample flowing past the sensor? Be sure the liquid level in the constant head sampler is level with the central overflow tube and that excess sample is flowing down the tube. If necessary, disassemble and clean the overflow sampler. See Section 7.4. C. Is the sensor properly wired to the analyzer? See Section 3.2. D. Is the glass bulb cracked or broken? Check the glass electrode impedance. See Section 8.4.2. E. Is the analyzer working properly. Check the analyzer by simulating the pH input. See Section 8.7. 8.4.6 Buffer Calibration Is Acceptable, Process pH Is Slightly Different from Expected Value. Differences between pH readings made with an on-line instrument and a laboratory or portable instrument are normal. The on-line instrument is subject to process variables, for example ground potentials, stray voltages, and orientation effects that may not affect the laboratory or portable instrument. To make the process reading agree with a referee instrument, see Section 6.5. 55 MODEL FCL SECTION 8.0 TROUBLESHOOTING 8.4.7 Calibration Was Successful, but Process pH Is Grossly Wrong and/or Noisy. Grossly wrong or noisy readings suggest a ground loop (measurement system connected to earth ground at more than one point), a floating system (no earth ground), or noise being brought into the analyzer by the sensor cable. The problem arises from the process or installation. It is not a fault of the analyzer. The problem should disappear once the sensor is taken out of the system. Check the following: A. Is a ground loop present? 1. Verify that the system works properly in buffers. Be sure there is no direct electrical connection between the buffer containers and the process liquid or piping. 2. Strip back the ends of a heavy gauge wire. Connect one end of the wire to the process piping or place it in the process liquid. Place the other end of the wire in the container of buffer with the sensor. The wire makes an electrical connection between the process and sensor. 3. If offsets and noise appear after making the connection, a ground loop exists. B. Is the process grounded? 1. The measurement system needs one path to ground: through the process liquid and piping. Plastic piping, fiberglass tanks, and ungrounded or poorly grounded vessels do not provide a path. A floating system can pick up stray voltages from other electrical equipment. 2. Ground the piping or tank to a local earth ground. 3. If noise still persists, simple grounding is not the problem. Noise is probably being carried into the instrument through the sensor wiring. C. Simplify the sensor wiring. 1. Disconnect all sensor wires at the analyzer except pH/mV IN, REFERENCE IN, RTD IN and RTD RETURN. See the wiring diagrams in Section 3.2. 2. Tape back the ends of the disconnected wires to keep them from making accidental connections with other wires or terminals. 3. Connect a jumper wire between the RTD RETURN and RTD SENSE terminals (see wiring diagrams in Section 3.2). 4. If noise and/or offsets disappear, the interference was coming into the analyzer through one of the sensor wires. The system can be operated permanently with the simplified wiring. D. Check for extra ground connections or induced noise. 1. To avoid induced noise in the sensor cable, keep the unit as far away as possible from power cables, relays, and electric motors. 2. If ground loops persist, consult the factory. A visit from an experienced technician may be required to solve the problem. 8.4.8 pH Readings Are Moderately Noisy and Tend to Wander. pH readings that are moderately noisy (±0.1 pH) and tend to wander are probably caused by bubbles getting trapped against the pH sensor. Although the overflow sampler is designed to allow bubbles to escape before they reach the pH sensor and the sensor itself is designed so trapped air bubbles don’t interfere with the measurement, bubbles may occasionally be a problem. Shaking the sensor will dislodge the bubbles. If bubbles remain a problem, contact the factory. 56 MODEL FCL SECTION 8.0 TROUBLESHOOTING 8.5 TROUBLESHOOTING WHEN NO ERROR MESSAGE IS SHOWING — GENERAL Problem See Section Current output is too low 8.5.1 Alarm relays do not operate when setpoint is exceeded 8.5.2 Display is unreadable — too faint or all pixels dark 8.5.3 8.5.1 Current Output Too Low.

While holding down the MENU key, press p or q until the display has the correct contrast. 8.6 SIMULATING INPUTS — CHLORINE To check the performance of the analyzer, use a decade box and battery to simulate the current from the sensor. The battery, which opposes the polarizing voltage, is necessary to ensure that the sensor current has the correct sign. A. Disconnect the anode and cathode leads from terminals 1 and 2 on TB3 and connect a decade box and battery as shown in Figure 8-3. It is not necessary to disconnect the RTD leads. B. Set the decade box to the resistance shown below. Polarizing Voltage 200 mV Resistance Expected Current 28 MΩ 500 nA C. Note the sensor current. It should be close to the value in the table. The actual value depends on the voltage of the battery. To view the sensor current, go to the main display and press q until the sensor current is displayed. D. Change the decade box resistance and verify that the correct current is shown. Calculate current from the equation: Vbattery — Vpolarizing (mV) current (μA) = resistance (kΩ) The voltage of a fresh 1.5 volt battery is about 1.6 volt (1600 mV). FIGURE 8-3. Simulating Chlorine 57 MODEL FCL SECTION 8.0 TROUBLESHOOTING 8.7 SIMULATING INPUTS — pH 8.7.1 General This section describes how to simulate a pH input into the Model FCL analyzer. To simulate a pH measurement, connect a standard millivolt source to the analyzer. If the analyzer is working properly, it will accurately measure the input voltage and convert it to pH. 8.7.2 Simulating pH input. 1. Turn off automatic temperature correction and solution temperature correction. From the Program menu, choose Temp. Then choose Live/Manual and enter 25°C. See Section 5.6 for details. 2. Disconnect the sensor and connect a jumper wire between the pH IN and REFERENCE IN terminals. 3. From the display menu choose the pH/temperature/mV screen. The measured voltage should be 0 mV and the pH should be 7.00. Because calibration data stored in the analyzer may be offsetting the input voltage, the displayed pH may not be exactly 7.00. FIGURE 8-4. Simulating pH Inputs 4. If a standard millivolt source is available, disconnect the jumper wire between pH IN and REFERENCE IN and connect the voltage source as shown in Figure 8-4. Be sure to jumper the reference and solution ground terminals. 5. Calibrate the analyzer using the procedure in Section 6.3. Use 0.0 mV for Buffer 1 (pH 7.00) and -177.4 mV for Buffer 2 (pH 10.00). If the analyzer is working properly it should accept the calibration. The slope should be 59.16 mV/pH and the offset should be zero. 6. To check linearity, return to the main display and the pH/temperature/mV screen. Set the voltage source to the values shown in the table and verify that the pH and millivolt readings match the values in the table. Voltage (mV) 295.8 177.5 59.2 -59.2 -177.5 -295.8 58 pH (at 25°) 2.00 4.00 6.00 8.00 10.00 12.00 MODEL FCL SECTION 8.0 TROUBLESHOOTING 8.8 SIMULATING TEMPERATURE 8.8.1 General. The FCL analyzer accepts a Pt100 RTD (for pH and chlorine sensors). The Pt100 RTD is in a three-wire configuration. See Figure 8-5. 8.8.2 Simulating temperature To simulate the temperature input, wire a decade box to the analyzer or junction box as shown in Figure 8-6. To check the accuracy of the temperature measurement, set the resistor simulating the RTD to the values indicated in the table and note the temperature readings. The measured temperature might not agree with the value in the table. During sensor calibration an offset might have been applied to make the measured temperature agree with a standard thermometer. The offset is also applied to the simulated resistance. The FCL is measuring temperature correctly if the difference between measured temperatures equals the difference between the values in the table to within ±0.1°C. FIGURE 8-5. Three-Wire RTD Configuration. Although only two wires are required to connect the RTD to the analyzer, using a third (and sometimes fourth) wire allows the analyzer to correct for the resistance of the lead wires and for changes in the lead wire resistance with temperature. For example, start with a simulated resistance of 103.9 Ω, which corresponds to 10.0°C. Assume the offset from the sensor calibration was -0.3 Ω. Because of the offset, the analyzer calculates temperature using 103.6 Ω. The result is 9.2°C. Now change the resistance to 107.8 Ω, which corresponds to 20.0°C. The analyzer uses 107.5 Ω to calculate the temperature, so the display reads 19.2°C. Because the difference between the displayed temperatures (10.0°C) is the same as the difference between the simulated temperatures, the analyzer is working correctly. FIGURE 8-6.

Sulfide is a good example. Prolonged exposure to sulfide converts the reference electrode from a silver/silver chloride electrode to a silver/silver sulfide electrode. The change in reference voltage is several hundred millivolts. A good way to check for poisoning is to compare the voltage of the reference electrode with a silver/silver chloride electrode known to be good. The reference electrode from a new sensor is best. See Figure 8-7. If the reference electrode is good, the voltage difference should be no more than about 20 mV. A poisoned reference electrode usually requires replacement. FIGURE 8-7. Checking for a Poisoned Reference Electrode. Refer to the sensor wiring diagram to identify the reference leads. A laboratory silver/silver chloride electrode can be used in place of the second sensor. 60 MODEL FCL SECTION 9.0 RETURN OF MATERIAL SECTION 9.0 RETURN OF MATERIAL 9.1 9.2 9.3 GENERAL WARRANTY REPAIR NON-WARRANTY REPAIR 9.1 GENERAL.
