DESCRIPTION AND SPECIFICATIONS
• COMPLETE SYSTEM INCLUDES sensor, connecting cable, analyzer, and flow controller
• SENSOR RESPONSE IS PRACTICALLY INDEPENDENT of pH between pH 6 and 10
• NO REAGENTS
• NO AUXILIARY pH ELECTRODE
• VARIOPOL QUICK-DISCONNECT FITTINGS makes sensor replacement easy
1.1 APPLICATIONS AND FEATURES
The FCLi free chlorine system is intended for the
determination of free chlorine (hypochlorous acid plus
hypochlorite ion) in fresh water. Unlike other free chlorine analyzers, the FCLi does not use expensive sample conditioning systems or messy reagents to control
pH. Nor, does it require an auxiliary pH sensor for pH
correction. Instead, the pH adjustment takes place
inside the sensor, producing a signal that changes
less than 4% per unit change in pH between pH 6 and
10. Below pH 6.5 the change is less than 1%. The linear range of the sensor is 0 to 20 ppm (mg/L).
The FCLi is not intended for the determination of total
or combined chlorine (like monochloramine). Nor, can
the FCLi be used for the determination of chlorine in
seawater.
The FCLi uses a three electrode, membrane-covered
amperometric sensor. The sensor consists of a
hydrophilic membrane stretched over a gold mesh
cathode. A silver/silver chloride reference electrode
and an external copper auxiliary electrode complete
the circuit. The fill solution is saturated succinic acid
slurry. During operation, an electrochemical reaction,
driven by the polarizing voltage, consumes free chlorine at the cathode surface. The auxiliary electrode
provides the electrons for the cathode reaction, and
a current proportional to the reaction rate flows
between the electrodes. Because the concentration of
chlorine at the cathode is zero, free chlorine in the
sample continuously diffuses through the membrane
and is destroyed at the cathode. Thus, the cathode
current is proportional to the diffusion rate, which is
proportional to the concentration of free chlorine in the
sample.
The FCLi sensor requires neither sample pretreatment
nor pH correction. All amperometric free chlorine sensors generate a raw current that depends primarily on
the concentration of hypochlorous acid. Because the
fraction of free chlorine present as hypochlorous acid
is a function of pH, readings will be in error if the sample pH changes from the value it had during calibration. To correct for pH changes, some manufacturers
treat the sample with acid to convert hypochlorite to
hypochlorous acid. Others continuously measure the
pH and use the pH value to correct the chlorine sensor
reading. The Model FCLi is different. The sensor uses
a highly buffered acidic fill solution for internal pH
adjustment. The fill solution converts all the free chlorine entering the sensor as well as much of the free
chlorine at the outside surface of the membrane into
hypochlorous acid. Thus, the sensor response is practically independent of pH.
For customers who wish to measure pH, an option
that includes a pH sensor and flow cell is available.
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
membrane and fill slurry takes only a few minutes.
The FCLi includes the easy-to-use Model 56 analyzer.
The analyzer features four fully programmable 4-20
mA outputs and four fully programmable relays. The
large, full color display allows the user to read sample
pH and chlorine concentration at a glance. A data logger, graphical display, and HART digital communications are standard.
Valves, rotameters, and pressure regulators to control
sample flow are things of the past with the FCLi. A
constant head overflow sampler ensures the correct
flow to the sensor no matter how much the sample
flow or pressure changes. To eliminate wiring hassles,
quick disconnect Variopol cable is standard.
Stable free chlorine standards do not exist. The chlorine sensor must be calibrated using the results of a
laboratory test on a grab sample.

The FCLi is intended for wall mounting only. Refer to Figure 2-2 or 2-3 for details.
A 1/4-inch OD tubing compression fitting is provided for the sample inlet. If desired, the compression fitting can
be removed and replaced with a barbed fitting. Do not remove the check valve. The threads are 1/4-inch FNPT.
The sample drains through a 3/4-inch barbed fitting. Attach a piece of soft tubing to the fitting and allow the waste
to drain to open atmosphere. Do not restrict the drain line.
Remove the foam packing insert between the outer tube and the inner overflow tube. Adjust the sample flow
until the water level is even with the central overflow tube and excess water is flowing down the tube. Confirm that
sample is flowing through the flow cells.
2.2.4 Electrical Connections
Refer to Section 3.1 for details.
2.2.5 Installing the Sensor(s)
1. The chlorine sensor leaves the factory with a shipping membrane in place. The shipping membrane
must be removed and replaced with the chlorine membrane before putting the sensor in service. The
chlorine membrane is in a plastic bag attached to the sensor. Do not remove the shipping membrane
until you are ready to put the sensor in service.
6
a.
Remove the red protective cap from the end of the sensor.
b.
Holding the membrane end pointing up (cable connector end pointing down), unscrew the retainer cap
and remove the shipping membrane. See Figure 2.1. It is not necessary to remove the O-ring. Save the
shipping membrane. It should be reinstalled on the sensor when the sensor is not in use.
c.
Still holding the membrane end pointing up, install the chlorine membrane. The chlorine membrane is in
the plastic bag attached to the sensor. Screw the retainer back in place.

2. If you are using a pH sensor, remove the protective cap on the sensor.
3. Install the sensors in the flow cells as shown in Figures 2.2 and 2.3. For Model FCLi-02-241, the pH sensor
must be installed as shown in Figure 2.3. The chlorine sensor sits in the flow cell and is held in place by the
union nut. The pH sensor screws into a plastic fitting, which the union nut holds in the flow cell. Be sure to
slip the union nut over the sensor before connecting the cable to the sensor.
4. The Model FCLi is provided with sensor cables pre-wired to the analyzer. Connect the chlorine sensor to the
cable labeled Chlorine Sensor. Connect the pH sensor to the cable labeled pH Sensor. The terminal end of
the sensor is keyed to ensure proper mating with the cable receptacle. Once the key has slid into the mating
slot, tighten the connection by turning the knurled ring clockwise.
NOTE
The chlorine sensor is available in two styles. One has a copper auxiliary electrode; the other has a stainless steel auxiliary electrode. The auxiliary electrode is the metal band visible at the bottom of the sensor. The copper electrode is gradually being phased out and replaced by a stainless steel electrode.
If the sensor has a copper electrode…Generally, it is best to keep the sensor in a continuously flowing
sample. The sensor can tolerate loss of sample flow for about four days as long as it remains immersed
in water in the flow cell. A check valve in the sample inlet prevents water from draining out of the flow
cell. If the sensor sits too long in a stagnant sample, copper ions from the air oxidation of the electrode
can diffuse into the sensor. Once inside the sensor, the copper undergoes an electrochemical reaction
that greatly increases the background current and can potentially damage the sensor.
If the sensor has a stainless steel electrode…The stainless steel electrode is not susceptible to air oxidation. Therefore, loss of sample flow does not normally present a problem.
Do not expose the chlorine sensor to air for any longer than an hour. Prolonged exposure to air will cause
the membrane to dry out. Once this happens, the membrane must be replaced.

4.4 HOLD
4.4.1 Purpose
To prevent unwanted alarms and improper operation of control systems or dosing pumps, place the alarm
relays and outputs assigned to the sensor in hold before removing the sensor for maintenance. Hold is also
useful if calibration, for example, buffering a pH sensor, will cause an out of limits condition. During hold,
outputs assigned to the sensor remain at the last value, and alarms assigned to the sensor remain in their
present state.

1. Choosing sensor 1 (free chlorine) in section 6.2 causes the screen shown
at left to appear. There are two steps to calibrating a free chlorine sensor,
measuring the zero current (zero) and determining the slope of the calibration
curve (grab). Because stable free chlorine standards in the ppm range do
not exist, the sensor must be calibrated against the results of a laboratory
test run on a grab sample.
BACK
2. To zero the sensor, select Zero and follow the prompts. For more
information about preparing the zero solution and measuring the zero
current, press the INFO key when prompted.
NOTE:
The information screen refers to a copper auxiliary electrode (see
Figure 10.1) that can corrode, producing copper ions that, in the
absence of flow, diffuse into the sensor, potentially harming it. Not all
versions of the chlorine sensor have the copper electrode. Some have
a stainless steel electrode, which is unaffected by prolonged exposure to non-flowing aerated water.
If the zero step is successful, the analyzer will display the zero complete
screen and the measured zero current. The screen will also show the
typical zero current for the sensor and the recommended acceptance
criterion. You will be asked to accept the zero current. Press the INFO
key for an information screen to aid with troubleshooting if the results
are not acceptable.
If the zero current is badly in error, the analyzer will display the zero
failed screen. Press the INFO key for troubleshooting.
3. To calibrate the sensor response in chlorinated water, select Grab and follow
the prompts. Be sure the sensor is installed in the flow cell in the FCLi and
the sample is overflowing the inside tube in the overflow sampler.
If the calibration is successful, the analyzer will display the calibration
complete screen and the sensitivity (nA/ppm). The screen will also show
the typical sensitivity range for the sensor and the recommended acceptance
criterion. You will be asked to accept the calibration. Press the INFO key
for an information screen to aid with troubleshooting if the calibration is

DATA AND EVENT LOGGING AND RETRIEVAL
8.1. OVERVIEW
Data and event logging is a standard feature in the Model 56 analyzer. However, the feature must be enabled.
When data/event logging is enabled, the Model 56 analyzer will automatically store the following events with date
and time stamp: faults, warnings, calibration data, calibration results (pass or fail), power on/off cycles, hold on/off,
and new sensor board detected. At the user’s discretion the analyzer will also store alarm activation and deactivation
as events. The event logger holds 300 events. When the capacity of the logger is reached, the oldest events are
removed to make room for new events.
When data/event logging is enabled, the analyzer will automatically store the following measurement data.
Free chlorine: date and time, ppm chlorine, temperature, and sensor current.
pH: date and time, pH, temperature, mV, glass impedance, reference impedance, and raw pH (if displayed pH
has a solution temperature correction applied).
The analyzer can store up to 30 days of data. When the capacity of the logger is reached, the oldest data are
removed to make room for new data. Data storage frequency is once every 30 seconds.

SECTION 8.0
MAINTENANCE
10.2 CHLORINE SENSOR
10.2.1 General.
When used in clean water, the 498CL-01 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
slurry 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. Actual cleaning frequency can be determined only by experience.
10.2.2 Cleaning the membrane.
Clean the membrane with water sprayed from a wash bottle. Do not use tissues to clean the membrane.
Pressing on the membrane may damage the mesh cathode.
10.2.3 Replacing the electrolyte solution and membrane.
CAUTION
Fill solution and solid may cause irritation. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. May be harmful if swallowed.
Read and follow manual.
1. Unscrew the membrane retainer and remove the membrane assembly and O-ring. See Figure 10-1.
2. Remove the fill plug.
3. Empty all remaining fill slurry from the sensor. Rinse with deionized water until there is no significant amount
of solid left in the sensor.
4. Place a few drops of water in the replacement membrane assembly and place it on the mesh cathode. DO
NOT TOUCH THE MESH CATHODE. Doing so may bend the mesh and permanently damage the sensor.
Screw the membrane retainer into place.
5. Obtain one bottle of saturated succinic acid (PN 9210381, 40 mL) and one bottle of succinic acid crystals
(PN 9210379, 40 g) from the electrolyte kit. Remove the red cap from the fill spout on each bottle.
6. Using a razor blade or scissors, cut the fill spout on the bottle of succinic acid crystals just below the line on
the spout.
7. Hold the sensor with the membrane end pointed slightly upward. Insert the spout of the bottle of
succinic acid solution into the fill port. Squeeze the bottle until half of the solution has been transferred to the
electrolyte chamber.
8. Pour the solid succinic acid crystals into the fill port. If the crystals accumulate in the fill hole, shake or tap the
sensor gently to unblock the port.
9. Use the remainder of the succinic acid solution to rinse crystals adhering to the threads into the sensor. Keep
adding solution until it overflows the fill port. Tap the sensor a few times to be sure no air bubbles are trapped
in the sensor.
10. Screw the fill plug back into place until it is flush with the body.
11. Hold the sensor with the membrane end pointing down and give it a few shakes as though shaking down a
fever thermometer. Shaking helps clear bubbles that might have become trapped behind the mesh cathode.
12. The sensor may require several hours operating at the polarizing voltage to equilibrate after the electrolyte has
been replaced. Be sure to put the sensor in a flowing, chlorinated sample for equilibration.

10.2.4 Storage.
The chlorine sensor is available in two styles. One has a copper auxiliary electrode; the other has a stainless steel
auxiliary electrode. The auxiliary electrode is the metal band visible at the bottom of the sensor. The copper electrode is gradually being phased out and replaced by the stainless steel electrode.
The copper-electrode sensor can be damaged by long term exposure to a non-flowing sample. See the note at the
end of section 2.2.5. However, it can tolerate loss of flow for up to four days as long as it remains in liquid in the
flow cell with as little contact as possible between the liquid and air. There is a check valve in the sample inlet to
prevent sample from draining out of the chlorine flow cell.
The stainless steel-electrode sensor can be kept for weeks or longer in a non-flowing sample as long as the sensor is not allowed to dry out.
For

3.
long term storage…
Turn off power to the analyzer.
Remove the sensor from the flow cell.
Replace the membrane with the shipping membrane provided with the sensor. For a replacement shipping
membrane order PN 23501-00.
4. To protect the sensor from physical damage, store it in the dry flow cell.
10.2.5 Rejuvenating a copper-electrode chlorine sensor following improper storage.
If the copper electrode sensor is stored in a stagnant sample for an extended period, it can become contaminated
with copper. Corrosion of the external copper electrode produces copper ions, which diffuse through the membrane into the sensor. If the sensor was powered up during storage, copper will plate out on the cathode. If the
sensor was not powered up, the copper will start plating out as soon as the polarizing voltage is applied. As the
copper plates out, the zero current increases. Once the copper has coated the cathode the sensitivity drops. The
sensor will be unusable until the cathode has been cleaned.
1. If the sensor was not powered up during storage, DO NOT APPLY POWER. Empty the fill slurry and thoroughly
rinse the sensor with deionized water. Refill the sensor with fresh fill slurry. Let the sensor run in flowing
chlorinated water overnight. Zero and calibrate the sensor.
37
MODEL FCLi-56
SECTION 8.0
MAINTENANCE
2. If the sensor was powered up during storage, the cathode is probably coated with metallic copper. Disconnect
the sensor from the analyzer. Remove the membrane and clean out the fill slurry. Immerse the mesh cathode
in 10% nitric acid solution (10 mL of concentrated nitric acid in 90 mL of water) for about five minutes. Rinse
thoroughly with deionized water. Refill the sensor with fresh slurry and install a new membrane. Let the sensor
run overnight in flowing chlorinated water. Zero and calibrate the sensor.
10.3 pH SENSOR
10.3.1 General.
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.
10.3.2 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 citric acid (dissolve 5 grams of citric acid crystals in 100 mL
of water) for no longer than 30 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.
10.3.3 Other Maintenance
The 3900VP-02-10 pH sensor supplied with the Model FCLi-02 is disposable. It has no replaceable parts.
10.4 CONSTANT HEAD FLOW CONTROLLER
10.4.1 General
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
1.2 gal/hr (75 mL/mm) flow. Loss of flow to about 0.5 gal/hr (30 mL/mm) causes about a 5% decrease 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.
10.4.2 Cleaning the flow controller
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.
10.4.3 Other Maintenance
Table 10-2 and Figure 10-2 show the replacement parts for the flow controller assembly used in Model FCLi-01.

TROUBLESHOOTING
11.1 OVERVIEW
The analyzer continuously monitors itself and the sensor(s) for problems. When the analyzer identifies a problem,
the word warning or fault appears intermittently at the bottom of the display. To read the fault or warning message
and troubleshooting information, press INFO. See section 11.2.
A warning means the instrument or sensor is usable, but steps should be taken as soon as possible to correct the
condition causing the warning. Warning messages can be turned off. To turn off warning messages, go to the main
menu and choose Display setup. Scroll to the Warning tab and turn off warning messages.
A fault means the measurement is seriously in error and is not to be trusted. A fault condition might also mean that
the analyzer has failed. Fault conditions should be corrected immediately. When a fault occurs, the analog output
goes to 22.00 mA or to the value programmed in Section 5.2. Fault messages cannot be turned off.

11.5.3
Chlorine readings are to low
11.5.4
11.5.1 Process readings are erratic
1. Readings are often erratic when a new or rebuilt sensor is first placed in service. The current usually stabilizes
after a few hours.
2. Is the fill solution making good contact with the cathode? The sensor has a gold mesh cathode that allows the
fill solution to completely bathe the cathode. Sometimes air bubbles prevent the fill solution for contacting the
entire mesh. The air bubbles can usually be cleared by holding the sensor with the membrane end pointing
down and sharply shaking the sensor a few times.
3. Verify that wiring is correct. Pay particular attention to the shield and ground connections.
4. Is the membrane in good condition and is the sensor filled with electrolyte solution? Replace the fill slurry, if necessary. See section 10.2.3.
11.5.2 Readings drift
1. Is the sample temperature changing? The analyzer automatically corrects for changes in sensor current
caused by temperature changes. The time constant for the temperature measurement is about five minutes.
Therefore, the reading may drift for a while after a sudden temperature change.
2. 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 tissue to wipe the membrane.
3. 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 10.4.
4. Is the sensor new or has it been recently serviced? New or rebuilt sensors may require several hours to stabilize.
5. Is a bubble trapped against the membrane? For the sensor to work properly, the chlorine must continuously
diffuse through the membrane. Bubbles block the chlorine in the sample from reaching the membrane, so
readings drift downward as bubbles form and grow. The nozzle at the bottom of the flow cell pushes bubbles
to the edges of the membrane where they do no harm. In cold samples the nozzle may not be as effective.
a. If bubbles are visible, confirm that they are blocking the membrane by removing the sensor from the flow
cell and replacing it. Removing the sensor breaks the bubbles, so when the sensor is replaced, readings
return to normal.
b. Confirm that the nozzle is properly positioned in the flow cell. Line up your eye with the bottom of the membrane
retainer. No gap should be visible between the end of the nozzle and membrane retainer.

11.5.3 Sensor does not respond to changes in chlorine level.
1. Is the grab sample test accurate? Is the grab sample representative of the sample flowing to the sensor?
2. 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 over
flow sampler. See Section 10.4.
3. Is the membrane clean? Clean the membrane with a stream of deionized water. DO NOT use a tissue to wipe
the membrane. Pressing on the membrane may damage the mesh cathode.
4. Is the fill solution making good contact with the cathode? Hold the sensor with the membrane end pointing
down and give it a few sharp shakes to force electrolyte solution between the cathode and membrane.
5. Replace the electrolyte slurry.
6. Replace the sensor.
11.5.4 Chlorine readings spike following sudden changes in pH (automatic pH correction).
1. Was the comparison grab 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.
2. Low readings can be caused by zeroing the sensor before the zero current has reached a stable minimum
value. Zero current is the current the sensor generates even when no chlorine is in the sample. Because
the zero current is subtracted from subsequent measured currents, zeroing before the current is a minimum
can lead to low results.
Example: The true zero current for the chlorine sensor is 50 nA, and the sensitivity is 500 nA/ppm. Assume
the measured current is 200 nA. The true concentration is (200-50)/500 or 0.30 ppm. If the sensor was zeroed
prematurely when the current was 100 nA, the measured concentration will be (200-100)/500 or 0.20 ppm.
The error is 33%. Suppose the measured current is 400 nA. The true concentration is 0.70 ppm, and the measured
concentration (assuming the sensor was zeroed at 100 nA) is 0.60 ppm. The error is now 14%. The absolute
difference between the readings remains the same, 0.10 ppm.
3 . Sensor response depends on flow. Verify that the chlorine sensor is installed in the correct flow cell. See
Figures 2-2 and 2-3. 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.

11.6.1 Sensor Does Not Respond to Known pH Changes.
1. Is the pH sensor responsive to buffers? Check sensor response in two buffers at least two pH units apart.
2. Did the expected pH change really occur? Use a second pH meter to verify the change.
3. 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 over
flow sampler. See Section 10.4.
4. Is the sensor properly wired to the analyzer? See Section 3.2.
5. Is the glass bulb cracked or broken? Go to sensor diagnostics and check the glass electrode impedance. See
Section 11.3.
6. Is the analyzer working properly? Check the analyzer by simulating the pH input. See Section 11.9.

MODEL FCL–56
SECTION 11.0
TROUBLESHOOTING
11.6.2 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, standardize the sensor. See Section 6.5.
11.6.3 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:
1. Is a ground loop present?
a. 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.
b. 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.
c. If offsets and noise appear after making the connection, a ground loop exists.
2. Is the process grounded?
a. 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.
b. Ground the piping or tank to a local earth ground.
c. If noise still persists, simple grounding is not the problem. Noise is probably being carried into the instrument
through the sensor wiring.
3. Simplify the sensor wiring.
a. Disconnect all sensor wires at the analyzer except, IN REFERENCE, IN pH, RTD IN and RTD RETURN.
See the wiring diagrams in Section 3.2.
b. Tape back the ends of the disconnected wires to keep them from making accidental connections with other
wires or terminals.
c. Connect a jumper wire between the RTD RETURN and RTD SENSE terminals (see wiring diagrams in
Section 3.2).
d. 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.
4. Check for extra ground connections or induced noise.
a. To avoid induced noise in the sensor cable, keep the unit as far away as possible from power cables, relays,
and electric motors.
b. If ground loops persist, consult the factory. A visit from an experienced technician may be required to solve
the problem.
11.6.4 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, call the factory.

11.9 SIMULATING INPUTS — pH
11.9.1 General
This section describes how to simulate a pH input into
the 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.
11.9.2 Simulating pH input.
1. Set automatic temperature correction to manual
and set manual temperature to 25°C. See Section
5.5
2. Disconnect the sensor and connect a jumper wire
between the IN REFERENCE and IN pH terminals.
3. Press INFO and choose sensor 2 information (pH).
The input 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.
4. If a standard millivolt source is available, disconnect
the jumper wire between IN REFERENCE and IN pH
and connect the voltage source as shown in Figure
11-1. Be sure to jumper the IN REFERENCE and
GND SOL terminals.
5. Calibrate the analyzer using the manual buffer
procedure. 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, 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.

11.10 SIMULATING INPUTS — TEMPERATURE
11.10.1 General.
The analyzer accepts a Pt100 RTD (for pH and chlorine
sensors). The Pt100 RTD is in a three-wire configuration.
See Figure 11-2.
11.10.2 Simulating temperature
To simulate the temperature input, wire a decade box to
the analyzer as shown in Figure 11-3.
To check the accuracy of the temperature measurement, set
the resistor simulating the RTD to the values 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
analyzer 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 11-2. 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 caused by
changes in ambient 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.
