SECTION 5 INSTALLATION

When removing the instruments from their shipping containers, inspect all units for any

damage that may have occurred during shipment. The containers include the EC1000

Controller, Pump Module, Electrode, Instruction Manual, installation kits for the

Controller and Pump Module, Pump Module maintenance kit, and electrolyte

(see REPLACEMENT PARTS on page 109). If damage is evident, or if the shipment is

incomplete, customers outside the U.S.A. should contact their local Hach Distributor.

Customers inside the U.S.A. should contact Customer Service in Loveland, Colorado.

Call toll-free 1-800-227-4224.

Remove the electrode from the box and carefully remove the tape and protective cap from

the sensing end. Retain the protective cap for electrode storage. If salt crystals are present,

remove them by placing the sensing end of the electrode under a current of warm tap water

until the crystals dissolve. Keep the quick disconnect fitting dry. It is important to avoid

touching the internal area of the quick disconnect fitting. Contamination, such as oils and

salts from bare hands, can form a leakage path affecting the high impedance required

between the electrode and the controller.

The controller is designed for panel, wall or pole mounting. All methods use a Mounting

Bracket (Cat. No. 43646-00). For dimensions and other mounting information see

Figure 12 on page 58 and Figure 13 on page 59.

Cut the panel before inserting the meter. The panel cutout is to be 5.50"x 5.50" ±0.05". For

panel mounting, remove the two mounting brackets, insert the meter into the panel, and

reattach the mounting brackets. See Figure 12 on page 58. Insert screws

(Cat. No. 5617-11) through mounting bracket inserts, and adjust for panel thickness.
