Section 2 General information 2.1 Safety information Please read this entire manual before unpacking, setting up or operating this equipment. Pay attention to all danger and caution statements. Failure to do so could result in serious injury to the operator or damage to the equipment. To ensure that the protection provided by this equipment is not impaired, do not use or install this equipment in any manner other than that specified in this manual.
General information 2.2 General product information 2.2.1 Instrument description ® The Surface Scatter 7 sc (SS7 sc) Turbidimeter is a sensitive, continuous-monitoring instrument designed for measuring turbidity in fluids. The instrument design is based on the nephelometric principle, where light scattered by particles suspended in the fluid is measured to determine the relative amount of particulate matter in the fluid.
Page 13
General information 2.2.1.1 Controller The SS7 sc and SS7 sc-HST operate in conjunction with an sc100 controller. The controller enclosure houses the keypad, display, microprocessor board and power supply components. Operating controls and indicators are on the controller. The controller is used to program the instrument for turbidity level alarm set points and to perform diagnostic self-tests and programming operations.

Installation 3.3 Mechanical installation 3.3.1 Environmental requirements The SS7 sc and SS7 sc-HST enclosures are designed for general-duty, indoor installation. Ambient temperatures within specifications are allowed, but best performance will result if temperature does not change rapidly. Do not mount in direct sunlight.
Installation Figure 9 Instrument leveling Level 3.3.4 Installing the optional heat exchanger An optional heat exchanger (Cat. No. 48551-00) is available for the SS7 sc-HST (Figure 10 on page 20). The heat exchanger reduces sample temperatures that exceed the temperature requirements of the instrument.
Installation Figure 10 Heat exchanger dimensions 3.3.5 Installing the 3-way ball valves CAUTION Installation should be performed by qualified technical personnel to ensure adherence to all applicable electrical and plumbing codes. Refer to the Auto Flush Kit Instruction Sheet (Cat. No. 46692-88) for complete installation instructions.

Section 4 System startup 4.1 General operation 1. Plug the SS7 sc/SS7 sc-HST into the unpowered controller by aligning the orientation tab on the cable connector with the channel in the controller connector. 2. Push in and turn the threaded collar to secure the connection. Tug gently to check the connection.
Section 5 Operation 5.1 Sensor setup When a sensor is initially installed, the sensor name will be displayed. To change the sensor name refer to the following instructions: 1. From the Main Menu, select SENSOR SETUP and confirm. 2. If multiple sensors are attached to the controller, choose SELECT SENSOR>SS7 SETUP and confirm.
The logs can be downloaded through the digital network port, service port or the IrDA port. DataCom (Cat. No. 59256-00 or download from www.hach.com) is needed for downloading logs to a computer. If the datalogging frequency is set to 15 minute intervals, the instrument can continue to store data for approximately six months.
Operation 5.4 Sensor setup menu (continued) DIAG/TEST INST STATUS Displays the software and hardware versions. SERIAL NUMBER Displays the serial number of the sensor. INT TEMP Displays the internal temperature of the sensor electronics in °C. DEFAULT SETUP Restores the sensor factory default settings. Calibration is not affected. POWER CHECK Displays the electrical statistics for the sensor.

Operation 8. If no selection is made for a set period of time, the screen will prompt to remix the standard to avoid a change in the value of the standard. a. Open the SS7 sc and remix the standard. b.
Page 35
Operation 7. Confirm to calibrate. When the calibration is completed successfully, the display will show GOOD CAL! and the new calibration gain value. Confirm to accept the calibration. 8. Follow the prompt and enter the initials of the user performing the calibration.
Operation calibrated. Take a grab sample from the on-line instrument drain or sample inlet line and immediately measure its turbidity in the laboratory instrument. If the on-line instrument reading is off by more than 5%, use the calibration procedure detailed in section 5.5.2 on page 31 to input the new standard value.
Operation 6. Open the SS7 sc to remove the plate. Restart the sample flow and close the door. Confirm to return the instrument to measurement mode. Note: After confirmation of return to measurement mode, the instrument will equilibrate for 2 minutes before the output mode changes. Instrument measurements will show on the display, but the value will flash and a “OUT MODE WARN”...
Operation 9. When the displayed turbidity value is stable, confirm to select the measured reading. After confirming the reading: • GOOD VER! will be displayed if the verification is good, with an option to continue or to abort. Confirm to continue. Enter the operator initials and confirm.
Page 39
Operation 5. Confirm to view the previous calibrations. After scrolling through all 12 histories, the display will return to the calibration menu level. To view verification history: 1. From the Main Menu, select SENSOR SETUP and confirm. 2. If multiple sensors are attached to the controller, choose SELECT SENSOR>SS7 SETUP and confirm.
Operation 5.7 Operating the SS7 sc-HST • If condensation forms in the enclosure, increase the air pressure (and flow) by increasing the air pressure setting of the pressure regulator for the flow multiplier. • Make sure the bubble trap is working. Bubbles on the surface of the liquid will cause incorrect readings.
Section 6 Maintenance DANGER Only qualified personnel should conduct the tasks described in this section of the manual. The nature of tasks described in this section of the manual requires individuals to be technically knowledgeable of the associated dangers. Burns, shock, eye damage, fire and chemical exposure may occur if this work is not done by qualified personnel.
Maintenance 6.3.1 Cleaning Sediment may collect in the turbidimeter body and on the overflow weir. Algae may also form. The turbidimeter body should be drained and flushed—on a schedule determined by visual inspection—to remove accumulated sediment. Algae can be removed with a large bottle brush and a sterilizing solution such as dilute chlorine bleach.
