No remodelling ! Never remodel an analyzer. Otherwise, a serious accident may result. IOTRONIC will not be responsible for any accident or damage of any kind which is caused by the user remodelling the analyzer. Operating site must be free of water and humidity The analytical instrument is not designed to be water-proof or dust-proof.
Page 4 Principle of Operation The process photometer AQUACON PH-CL performs a discontinuous photometric determination of the concentration of free chlorine and of the pH value. The measurements are performed one after the other. The entire operation, which includes filling and rinsing of the measuring cuvette, is controlled by a microprocessor.

Page 7 Analytical Part The transmitter of the process photometer AQUACON PH-CL is contained in a compact housing and includes the microprocessor which recognizes the absorbance (extinction), displays the final calculated result on a touch screen and controls the operation of the process photometer with respect to sampling, rinsing of the measurement chamber, dosing of the reagent and surveillance of the photodetection system.
(ERROR E-4) is displayed on the touchscreen, subsequent relay activation is initiated by the process photometer AQUACON PH-CL and the analyzer stops. The optical transparency of the measurement cuvette is measured at the start of each analysis. An automatic zero adjustment takes place before each measurement to compensate colored or turbid samples or discoloration/contamination of the cuvette windows.
AQUACON PH-CL (PC Cabinet) Technical Information Page 9 Automatic Operation The process photometer will automatically carry out an analysis once the ”Start” button is pressed. On the return of power, following a power failure, the process photometer will automatically enter the automatic mode and starts a measurement.
AQUACON PH-CL (PC Cabinet) Technical Information Page 10 Manual Operation Manual operation of the process photometer is useful for maintenance, commissioning of the analyzer and when correction of alarm conditions during normal operation occur. Manual operation of the process photometer is effected by pressing the button ”Hand” on the touchscreen.
AQUACON PH-CL (PC Cabinet) Technical Information Page 11 Display/Set Parameters The parameter mode can be activated from automatic mode by touching the button ”Param” or from manual mode by touching the symbol In parameter mode, a new screen will be displayed which shows the parameters Limit value 1 pH, Limit value 2 pH, Limit function pH, Limit value 1 Cl2, Limit value 2 Cl2 and Limit function Cl2.
AQUACON PH-CL (PC Cabinet) Technical Information Page 12 To change the parameters, the corresponding values must be touched. Then, a parameter specific screen opens where the new parameter values can be typed by touching the figures (except parameters Output mode, Limit function pH, Limit function Cl2).
AQUACON PH-CL (PC Cabinet) Technical Information Page 13 3.6.3 Limit Function pH The parameter limit function pH defines the function of the limit value relay K2 for the pH analysis. It can be set to min function or to max function.
Technical Information Page 14 3.6.8 Titer/Calibration factor The process photometer AQUACON PH-CL may be re-calibrated by entering a titer/calibration factor (see chapter 5.5). A value between 0.00 and 9.99 may be chosen. 3.6.9 Rinsing time The measuring chamber is rinsed for 15 seconds before an analysis takes place. The preset rinsing time may be altered by the end-user.
Page 15 Switching Functions of the AQUACON PH-CL CAUTION: Before opening the cover below the process photometer display, the AQUACON PH-CL must be disconnected from the mains supply. External Switching The process photometer PH-CL has a potential-free input contact which may be used to control the instrument from a remote position/device.
”ERROR E-1, ERROR E-2, ERROR E-3” or ”ERROR E-4” (see also chapter 6). Current Output The process photometer AQUACON PH-CL delivers a current output, 0 or 4 to 20 mA, which is proportional to the measurement range selected by the end-user (see chapter 9.1). This current output may be used as input to remote recording devices, for data processing, controlling functions etc.
AQUACON PH-CL (PC Cabinet) Technical Information Page 17 Start-up and Maintenance Instructions CAUTION: As soon as the analyzer is connected to the main supply, automatic operation commences. This is required for automatic restart of the analyzer in the event of a power failure. At start-up, it is necessary to access the Manual Operating mode by touching the ”Hand”...
