    It is evident that a fast response, easy to operate and maintain, device has recognizable benefits for the user. The Thornton 550 Total Organic Carbon Analyzer provides a faster and easier method of on line measurement. As its predecessor, the 502P, the 550 TOC analyzer units offers the widest dynamic water quality range that can be measured without cumbersome reagents or accessories.
  • Page 6: Principle Of Operation

    PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION The Thornton 550 TOC Analyzer measures Total Organic Carbon in pure and ultrapure water based on differential conductivity. This difference in conductivity is used to determine the amount of organic carbon present. Flow Pressure Flow UV Oxidation...
  • Page 7 residence time in the oxidation chamber of less then one minute. The conductivity measurements are continuous; therefore, response time is directly related to the residence time of the sample in the oxidation chamber. Values of TOC, resistivity (or alternatively conductivity or uncompensated conductivity), and temperature are displayed on the LCD screen of the instrument.
  • Page 8: Chapter 2: Installation / Set-Up

    CHAPTER 2: INSTALLATION / SET-UP LOCATION The Thornton 550 TOC Analyzer is to be installed in a dry environment with a relative humidity <80% (non-condensing) and with ambient temperature between 5 and 40°C (41 to 104°F), on a flat, horizontal surface. The sample inlet line should be fitted with an isolation valve.
  • Page 9: Analog Output

    Communication specifications for this port: 9600 baud; 1 stop bit; no parity; 8-bit data. Mettler-Toledo Thornton, Inc. supplies a small format thermal printer as an optional accessory. A straight-through 9 pin, male or female, sub-D cable is provided with this printer.
  • Page 10: Start-Up

    Observe the flow rate from the flow meter on the front panel of the Thornton 550 TOC Analyzer. Adjust the flow rate to the maximum setting by means of the flow adjustment knob, located at the top of the flow meter. If not...
  • Page 11 After rinsing, use the flow adjustment knob to set the flow to 20 ml/min. CAUTION: Even if no pressure adjustment is required (which is the usual case); the cover should be removed so that the analyzer can be checked for water leaks, as any leak could be a source of error in the readings and also could lead to damage or failure of the unit.

  • Page 20: Chapter 4: Demonstration Mode

    CHAPTER 4: DEMONSTRATION MODE The Thornton 550 can be run in the Demonstration Mode to illustrate and allow practice in changing some of the parameters prior to actual use of the instrument. While the measurement value cannot be changed, other parameters, such as alarm set points, can be altered.

  • Page 28: Chapter 7: Calibration

    CHAPTER 7: CALIBRATION Four aspects of Calibration are covered in this section. • Analog Output Calibration. This procedure is used to calibrate the analog output loop. • Auto Zero Calibration. This is a procedure, performed by the monitor itself, to obtain zero readings of the two TOC sensors and correct for any zero drift.
  • Page 29: Auto Zero Calibration

    BOARD CALIBRATION This section describes a procedure to verify the functionality and accuracy of the electronics within the instrument. The Thornton 550 TOC Analyzer has two sensors for TOC measurement and one sensor for measurement of the incoming water sample.

  • Page 34 A second, more extensive TOC calibration, subjects the test unit to a known TOC level. A sample is prepared by adding some suitable reagent into low TOC water, to prepare a sample with known TOC level. Run the calibration sample through the unit until stable readings are achieved. The instrument value can be adjusted in the following manner.
  • Page 35: Chapter 8: Advanced Configuration

    CHAPTER 8: ADVANCED CONFIGURATION ADVANCED START UP METHODS The CONFIGURATION and OPERATION methods described previously should be adequate for pure and ultrapure waters (resistivity generally in the 10-18 MΩ-cm range) with relatively low levels of TOC. However, at higher levels of TOC, such as encountered in some Reverse Osmosis product water, recycle, and reclaim rinse water, an advanced configuration technique may be necessary for proper operation.

  • Page 37: Viewing Sensors

    If the resistivity of the incoming water is 10 MΩ-cm or above, the System Check not passing indicates there is a problem, and the screen will display “SYSTEM CHECK FAILED.” If this occurs, turn the unit off, then on again, and push the START button to once again initiate the System Check sequence.

  • Page 39 In certain circumstances, this Factory default may be changed. These are special cases where a sample water may contain known levels of specific organics, in which case a different curve designation may be entered. This alteration will require factory support and should only be performed by factory trained and certified personnel. ADVANCED CONFIGURATION...
