Installation of the instrument 

1.  Removing the mounting plate 

  Remove the 4 outer fastening screws of the 

mounting plate, withdraw the mounting plate 

to the front and remove the rear-side plug 
connector after a ¼ anticlockwise rotation. 

 

2.  Mounting the enclosure 

  Mount the instrument with the aid of 4 screws 

at eye level and easily accessible for the op-
erator.  

  Avoid the proximity of strong light sources. 
  Follow the drilling plan for the asembly on the 

next page.  

 

3. Electrical connections 

  Remove the terminal box cover after unscrew-

ing the lateral screws.   

  Establish the electrical connections (for this 

purpose, see the connection information on 
page 25 ff.). 

  Heed the regulations and guidelines of the lo-

cal electricity supply companies as well as ex-
isting plant norms and standards. 

 

 

4.  Assembling the instrument 

  Screw on the terminal box cover, plug in the 

connectors and lock the position with a ¼ 
clockwise turn. Refasten the mounting plate.

 

 

5.  Setting up the water outflow 

  Fit a PVC hose with an interior diameter di-

ameter of 6-7 mm to the hose connector and 

secure with a pinch clamp. Place the PVC 
hose in an open funnel beneath the analyser. 

 

6.  Setting up the water inflow 

  Place a pressure-resistant hose with an inner 

diameter of 6-7mm on the quick-seal coupling 
and secure it with a hose clamp.    

  The quick-seal coupling is equipped with a 

valve. It is recommended, however, that an 
additionalmanual shut-off valve be installed 
between the treatment plant and the analyser.   

  In order to keep the amount of rinsing water 

before an analysis small, the conduit to the 

treatment plant should have a small cross-
section and be as short as possible. No cop-
per tubing can be used as material for the 
supply line. High-grade steel or plastic pipes 
and pressure-resistant hoses can be imple-

mented.  

 

 
 

Commissioning the instrument

1.  Filling with indicator 

  Tilt the indicator seal downwards, insert the 500 

ml bottle and tilt the bottle upwards. Pay attention 
that the indicator type is correct. The indicator type 
used must match the indicator type programmed.  

 

2.  Switching on the instrument 

  If applicable, open the manual stop valve. If 

applicable, switch on the main switch for the 
power supply to the analyser. Switch on the 
power switch of the analyser.  

 

3. Feeding indicator 

  When commissioning the instrument for the 

first time, the metering pump must be switched 
on until the indicator flows into the measuring 
chamber. Follow the instructions in "Switching 
the metering pump on and off" on page 21 in 
the section "Service setting". 

Attention! 
The right-hand safety catch of the hose pump must 

be locked in place, so that the pressure lever 
presses the hose against the transport rollers. 
Otherwise, the hose pump does not function free 

of error and indicator constantly flows into the 
measuring chamber (shut-off function).  

4.  Programming the instrument 

  After the indicator has been fed in, the "END" 

key is pressed once more. This quits the ser-
vice setting (servicing mode) and an analysis 
can be started. The instrument is appropriately 
preprogrammed. Nevertheless, now or at a 
later stage, it can be reprogrammed to adapt 

to local conditions and requirements. Of par-
ticular importance are the entries pertaining to 
the indicator type used and the functions of 
the inputs and outputs. Corresponding instruc-

tions for the programming can be found on 
page 10 ff. 

 

Attention! 
  In the event of malfunctions (e.g. defective 

hoses), water or indicator can seep out of the 

instrument. Make sure that no subsequent 
damage can occur as a result. Replace the 
hoses of the hose pump regularly (see the sec-
tion "Replacement of components" on page 

31).
