4.3.1 Mechanical Installation Illustrates steps 3 to 5 in the following procedure. 1. HYDROGUARD is shipped pre-mounted on a mounting panel, along with a water filter. The mounting panel includes four screw holes, one in each corner. 2. Determine the location of one hole on the HYDROGUARD unit or on the mounting panel.
Figure 3: Flow Cell and Colorimeter Inlet and Outlet Note The HYDROGUARD colorimeter drains water at zero (0) pressure. The drainage pipe should be as straight as possible and have a constant downward slope and should not have any bends where water flow can be restricted. If the colorimeter drains to a bucket or basin, the end of the drainage pipe should terminate above the bucket or basin rim.
To change the configuration use jumpers J21 & J22 on the I/O card. For 115-120VAC see the jumpers setting per Figure 5. For 200-230VAC see jumpers setting per Figure 6. Figure 5: 115-120VAC setting Figure 6: 200-230VAC setting Caution Before making a connection to a power source, confirm that both jumpers are located on the correct voltage and that the appropriate fuse is in place.
3. Connect the neutral wire to the I/O board connector marked Neutral. 4. Connect the earth wire to the I/O Module connector marked Ground. 5. Continue with the other electrical connections. 6. Turn on electrical power only after all electrical connections have been completed. For information on wiring and using the relays as dry contact or for control, see chlorine shock mode.
Flow Meter: Connection for 2 or 3-wire flow meter. The analyzer will not look for the flow meter connection unless the option is turned ON in the technician menu; therefore, no jumper is required if a meter is not installed. Caution Electrical connections depicted in this section are ONLY recommendations.

Table 7: Maintenance Table Basic Operation: involves setting the desired parameters and monitoring the system for alarms. When operating normally, HYDROGUARD demands very little operator involvement. Calibration: Sensor sensitivity and accuracy can degrade or drift over time. For this reason, HYDROGUARD settings must be periodically recalibrated and compared with measurements from other measuring devices, such as electronic photometers, pH sensors, and thermometers or compared to standard solutions like pH buffers or ORP...
shown on the screen at a time based on importance and the order in which it should be fixed. For example, if the pH is high and the ORP is low, only the pH alarm will be indicated since lowering the pH will likely also correct the low ORP. All of the alarms are presented in Table 8 along with a description and resulting action of the analyzer/controller.
6.2 Replacing Reagents HYDROGUARD issues a LOW REAGENTS message when the float at the end of one of the reagent siphons detects that one or both of the reagents is approaching depletion. After this time, HYDROGUARD will count down (internally) until the reagents are expected to be completely depleted and the Cl analysis will stop and the analyzer will activate an alarm.
4) Remove the pump tubes from the water containers and turn the pumps ON for an additional 90 seconds to remove any water. 5) With the solenoid valve in the open position, turn off the power to the analyzer. If the solenoid is in the closed position, the unions at the top and bottom of the solenoid should be loosened to allow the colorimeter and solenoid to completely drain.
11) Attach the pump tube from the top of the pump head to the needle on the colorimeter cap by holding the needle and gently pressing the tube onto the connector. 6.6 Troubleshooting The following procedures instruct how to locate, evaluate, and fix a problem when HYDROGUARD issues an alarm or indicates suspect chemical levels.
