1. Discard the old containers with remaining contents in compliance with MSDS and regulatory
requirements.
2. Install the new bottles. Refer to Install the buffer solution on page 15 and Install the indicator
solution on page 15.
8.6 Change the alarm trip point
Install the applicable buffer and indicator solution to change the alarm trip point to a different
hardness level. Let the instrument operate for 2 hours to purge the used reagents. Calibrate the
instrument again. Refer to
Trip point specifications on page 4 and to Calibration on page 18.
8.7 Replace the pump tubes
Over a period of time, the clamping action of the pump/valve module will soften the tubing. This
causes the tubing to break and prevents liquid flow. Leaks can occur. The tubing wear is increased at
high temperatures. Therefore, the pump tube replacement schedules are based on the ambient
operating temperature. Refer to
Maintenance schedule on page 19 for the maintenance interval.
Refer to the documentation supplied with the maintenance kit.
8.8 Replace the tubing
The manufacturer recommends that one tube is replaced at a time. Refer to the documentation
supplied with the maintenance kit.
8.9 Clean the colorimeter
W A R N I N G
Chemical exposure hazard. Obey laboratory safety procedures and wear all of the
personal protective equipment appropriate to the chemicals that are handled. Refer to
the current safety data sheets (MSDS/SDS) for safety protocols.
The colorimeter measuring cell can collect sediment or cause layers to grow on the inside walls.
Clean the cell with an acid solution and a cotton swab on a monthly basis.
Items to collect:
• Sulfuric acid standard solution, 19.2 N, 100 mL MDB
• Wooden or paper cotton-tipped swab
• Bent steel paper clip
• Stir bar (optional)
1. Remove the plug from the top port of the colorimeter. Refer to Figure 13 on page 16.
2. Remove the magnetic stir bar with a bent steel paper clip as a retrieval tool.
3. Use the pipette to add 2–3 drops of 19.2 N sulfuric acid standard solution in the colorimeter.
Note: Lower normality sulfuric acid is not sufficient to clean the colorimeter.
4. Let the sulfuric acid stay in the colorimeter for 15 minutes.
5. Use a wooden or cotton-tipped swab to clean the interior surfaces of the colorimeter cell. Move
the cotton-tipped swap gently up and down.
Note: Do not use a plastic swab to clean the colorimeter with sulfuric acid. The acid will dissolve the plastic.
6. Make sure that the measurement cell is dry.
7. Clean the stir bar with water or alcohol or replace the stir bar.
8. Replace the plug in the top port of the colorimeter.
8.10 Replace the sample conditioning filter
Examine the sample conditioning filter regularly when lots of solids are in the sample. Replace the
sample conditioning filter if necessary. Refer to
Maintenance schedule on page 19 for the
maintenance interval. Refer to the documentation supplied with the installation kit.
