PUTTING THE ANALYZER ONLINE
Once the analyzer has been installed, electrical connections, and sample connections have been
made, the analyzer is ready for online measurement.
Turn on sample flow to the analyzer and adjust to 8-10L/hr (130-170ml/min). The analyzer will
begin to display measurement readings for the specific, cation, and degassed cation
conductivities, as well as the calculated pH. It will take about 1 hour of online sample flow until
the measurements are accurate. In order for the degassing column to operate correctly, a small
amount of sample flow must discharge contantly from the overflow chamber into the drain cup.
It is important to note that if Waltron’s pre-rinsed resin is not used, it may take anywhere from
several hours to several days for the cation and degassed cation conductivities to read correctly.
