INSTALLATION

3.1

RECEIVING

The Waltron 3051 Hardness Analyzer is assembled and fully tested for proper performance.
Before proceeding with analyzer installation, it is recommended to:



Check that the box and analyzer have not been damaged during transportation.



Take extreme care during analyzer unpacking and moving.



Be careful not to misplace accessories during unpacking. Refer to the packing list
included.

3.2

ANALYZER HANDLING

Take extreme care when lifting or moving the analyzer. Before moving the analyzer, it is
recommended to manually empty all of the hydraulic parts of any liquids.

3.3

LOCATION AND MOUNTING

It is recommended to install the analyzer in a suitable position:



The location is to be clean, covered and properly enclosed to provide the analyzer with
good ventilation and low dust concentration.



Operating environmental conditions are: temperature between 5 and 50°C at max 80%
relative humidity. If the temperature is below 5°C, the analyzer should be installed in a
heated cabinet.



Because of chemicals and waste gases it is absolutely necessary to have a well ventilated
location for the analyzer.



The analyzer is supplied with four mounting brackets for wall or stainless steel support
rack installation. Use 4 screws M6 or M8 to mount the analyzer.



Reagent bottles are supplied with the analyzer.

o

Relative position of the reagent's bottle(s) versus reagent pump(s) is very
important.

o

Respect the maximum height of about 16” (40 cm) between the bottle(s) and the
lowest edge of the analyzer panel.



The fast-loop reservoir should be mounted within reach of the sample tubing
(approximately 24” (60 cm) in length).

3.4

PRE-INSTALLATION

Before installing the analyzer, take the following precautions:



Place the analyzer close to the sample point to achieve the minimum response time; the
sample should be homogenous and representative.



The drain line should be properly dimensioned and positioned at a downward slope to
allow the drain of analyzed sample (by gravity) and the overflow coming from external
fast-loop reservoir (if used).
