<1. General Information> 1.2.4 Analysis Reaction Principle The colorimetric method is based on the reaction of reagents with the sample to produce a color. This color is measured and compared to a standard color, which proportionally defines its concentration. The color compound, which is the reacted mixture of the sample with the reagents, absorbs energy at a specific wavelength in accordance to Beer-Lambert Law.
NEMA 12 and the Fluidics enclosure is a NEMA 4X fiberglass with a clear door window. The WE440 Phosphate Analyzer should be installed in a well-ventilated location, with ambient temperature between 5°C and 45°C (41°F to 113°F); and relative humidity not to exceed 90% at 40°C.

Installation> Figure 2.4 Installing peristaltic pump head tubing - (Single channel) 2.2.2 Installing the Reagents The analyzer reagent startup kit contains all the necessary reagent for the specific application. The reagent and calibration standard are supplied in ready-to-use bottles that can be replaced directly onto the cap assemblies.

<2. Installation> The analyzer has been designed to be hard-wired with provisions for the AC power lines to be routed in conduit pipes connecting to the ¾” FNPT hubs located on the left side of the electronics enclosure. See Figure 2.5. When using line cords, use only certified power cords of 3 core, min 0.75 mm / 18 AWG, min.
<2. Installation> AC POWER CONNECTIONS Figure 2.6 AC power connections NOTE When using a UL/CSA approved power cord, loop cord through clip retainer as shown in Figure 2.6 for proper strain relief. CAUTION The analyzer is intended for use only with single-phase power. The analyzer is not equipped with a power switch, therefore a circuit breaking device such as a circuit breaker should conform to local safety standards and must be fitted before the final installation.

<2. Installation> 2.3.3 Inputs Signal Connections The two inputs are assigned for external control commands. Inputs 6 and 7 require a DC voltage between 5 and 24 Volts to activate. A 24 V supply is available from the main terminal strip pins 15 and 16 that can be used for activating the external control inputs.
<3. Startup and Operation> Startup and Operation Each WE440 Phosphate Analyzer gets thoroughly wet-tested and calibrated at the factory, so the system is ready to begin analyzing sample streams. The results of this activity are recorded in a Test Certificate shipped to you with the analyzer.
It is highly recommended to allow the WE440 Phosphate Analyzer to complete its measurement cycle rather than using the STOP key. If the STOP key is pressed before a measurement cycle is complete, it is highly recommended to perform both the AUTO PRIME ALL and CLEAN sequences described in Chapter 3.
<3. Startup and Operation> Instrument Operation Modes SAMPLE ANALYSIS CALIBRATION The instrument also operates cleaning and post wash cycles, along with a priming function useful for startup and priming feed tubing lines to the reaction-measuring cell. Sample Analysis and Validation The SAMPLE ANALYSIS mode is similar to the calibration mode, with the exception that during calibration the instrument calculates the relevant parameters correlating to the standard concentrations used for calibration.
<3. Startup and Operation> 3.10 Post Wash Automatic post wash cycles are typically part of every measurement cycle. At the end of the analysis, the post wash cycle evacuates the reacted sample from the cell and cleans it to minimize coating and residue deposits in the cell. The post wash cycle settings can be accessed from the ANALYSIS PARAMETERS menu: MENU →...
Pumps and Analog Outputs. Optics Calibration WE440 Phosphate Analyzer optics consists of a LED light path and a photo-detector. The analyzer is capable of driving three LEDs and the intensity of each of the LED can be individually varied. The light path is preset in the reaction cell sample chamber. The photo detector receiving the light energy is connected to an amplifier with programmable gain.
In order to get consistent and repeatable measurements, the method is setup such that the reaction cell in the WE440 Phosphate Analyzer is heated to a specific set point (25°C). A heater element located on the back plate of the reaction cell controls the temperature. The temperature of the reaction cell is measured by a thermistor embedded in the reaction cell body.
<4. Analyzer Hardware Configuration and Calibration> Analog Outputs Calibration The analyzer has two isolated analog outputs. The outputs are rated 0/4-20mA with a maximum load of 900 ohms. They can be independently calibrated. From the MAIN MENU, follow the sequence: MENU → SERVICES → HARDWARE SETUP → CALIBRATE ANALOG OUTPUTS The user is asked to connect a 900 ohms resistor to each two analog outputs.
<5. Calibration of the Instrument for Measurement Analysis> Calibration of the Instrument for Measurement Analysis In the analysis mode, the WE440 Phosphate Analyzer measures the absorbance of light through the sample, and compares the result with the absorbance of light through a standard solution of known concentration.
<5. Calibration of the Instrument for Measurement Analysis> The analyzer uses a 10 ppm concentration standard solution for calibration. The absorbance of the standard solution is measured and the slope is calculated and stored upon user’s confirmation. Base Line Calibration After calibrating using the single point, improved accuracy around the base or zero point may be further tuned by executing a base line calibration.
<5. Calibration of the Instrument for Measurement Analysis> Theory of Measurement Measurement in the WE440 Phosphate Analyzer is done by measuring the absorbance of a single wavelength of light through the sample, and comparing the result with the absorbance of the same wavelength of light through a standard solution of known concentration. If the two absorbencies match, then the sample concentration is equal to the standard solution.

<5. Calibration of the Instrument for Measurement Analysis> NOTE No variation in temperature for a period of 80 seconds aborts the measurement, and the info field will flash with the error message: “PLEASE CHECK FOR HEATER FAILURE”. If the temperature is not stabilized within 200 seconds and below the set point, then the info field will flash with the warning message: “CHECKING THE REACTION TEMPERATURE.

This shift has caused a need for analyzers to work from a continuous mode to an on-demand mode. YOKOGAWA identified this requirement as an enhancement feature and has introduced this into the new WE440 Phosphate Analyzer.

<9. Standby and On-Demand Modes> Factory Setup Recommendations When Operating In “ON-DEMAND” Mode If the system is to be used “ON-DEMAND”, it is highly recommended to keep it powered and to keep sample flowing to eliminate algae growth in the lines over extended time. It is best to control the analyzer operation either directly via the keypad (RUN / STOP) keys or using a remote ON/ OFF external control switch for controlling the analyzer.
