The WE430 Hydrazine analyzer meets all of the criteria for accurate and dependable oxygen scavenger monitoring and more. The WE430 analyzer incorporates innovative technologies that include: •...
• Analyzer determines the best range. Application Modes The versatility of the WE430 Hydrazine analyzer allows the operator to set the analyzer to read hydrazine, depending on the oxygen scavenger to be measured. Refer to Section 3.1, Use of the Setup Mode for instructions on how to set the analyzer to read hydrazine.
Page 10
<1. General Information> Figure 1.1 WE430 Schematic The oxygen scavenger present in the sample reacts with the iodine to form iodide ion: + X • I → 2X • I + OS Where: = oxygen scavenger reduced = oxygen scavenger oxidized The iodide sensing electrode responds logarithmically to changes in the resulting iodide ion concentration.
By pressing the appropriate keys on the analyzer when prompted, the analyzer’s microprocessor completes the calibration. After allowing approximately 30 minutes for the calibration solution to be flushed from the system, the WE430 analyzer can begin sample measurement again.
The term “offline calibration” refers only to the fact that a sample from WE430 analyzer bypass is taken “offline” for laboratory analysis; in fact, no downtime is experienced during the procedure and the analyzer remains online throughout.

<2. Analyzer Preparation> Sample Requirements Additional information is listed in the Appendix, Specifications section. Sample inlet connection 1/4” NPTF. If particulate matter is present in the sample, pre-filtration is necessary. The 60 micron stainless steel filter located after inlet valve will remove moderate amounts of particulates.
<2. Analyzer Preparation> The safety warning icons are used in two locations on the analyzer. • Faceplate – Refer to Figure 2.2. Figure 2.2 Faceplate • Power supply – Refer to Figure 2.3. Figure 2.3 Power Supply NOTE Replace the fuse only with a fuse of same rating. Wiring the Analyzer WARNING Read and observe the following requirements.

The electronics faceplate will open via the hinge pin connection. Remove one or two of the two unused cable glands as required for wiring power cable or auxiliary connections.
<2. Analyzer Preparation> Support the bottom of the reagent bottle and release the holding clamp with one hand. Turn the thumbscrew counterclockwise to release the reagent bottle. Unscrew the white bottle cap and gray tubing connector assembly. The bottle that is supplied with the analyzer can be used as a spare.
<2. Analyzer Preparation> NOTE Do not twist the cable while tightening the connection. Twisting may cause damage requiring premature replacement of the cable. Wait at least one hour before calibrating the analyzer. Sensor Reference Figure 2.8 Flow Cell Cap Installation of ATC Probe The automatic temperature compensation (ATC) probe is already connected to the correct terminal for temperature upon delivery.
<2. Analyzer Preparation> Installation of a New Reference Electrode WARNING Turn off the air pump prior to removing the reference electrode filling solution bottle. If the air pump is left on, it will spatter filling solution as the bottle is removed. Unpack the reference electrode (Part number: K9705CH) from the shipping box.
Page 23
2-10 <2. Analyzer Preparation> CAUTION Failure to pressurize the filling solution bottle will lead to noisy and drifting output signals. Plug the electrode cable marked “Reference” into the top of the electrode, and tighten the screw cap. Be sure to push back the black cap to verify a secure connection between the male and female pin connection prior to tightening.

3-26 <3. Analyzer Operation> Locate the protective cap from reference electrode kit and place it on the base of the reference electrode to prevent it from drying out. Start-Up Replace the diffusion tubing if the sample flow was off for more than a few days. Tubing becomes brittle with long-term exposure to the reagent.
To perform a dynamic two point calibration, the WE430 analyzer is first connected to a reductant- free sample stream. An appropriate diluted standard is prepared and then a syringe is filled with the diluted standard and mounted on the calibrator.
Fluidics Components Dynamic Calibrator Operation The dynamic calibrator is used to deliver a standard solution to the WE430 analyzer during calibration. Place the dynamic calibrator on a support near the analyzer. The calibrator location should be close enough to allow easy connection of the syringe tubing to the injection port on analyzer.
<4. Calibration> Dynamic Calibrator and Syringe Setup Connect the calibration tubing to the syringe using the luer adapter and the 1/4’’ female connector. Only hand tighten the components, do not overtighten them. Loosen the blue knob on the dynamic calibrator by turning it approximately 1/4 of a turn clockwise and pressing up on the bottom, inside part of the blue knob.

Calibration At Custom Concentrations Using DYN The WE430 Hydrazine analyzer software has default values to accommodate standards added using the dynamic calibrator. The operator has the option to use alternate standards by changing, in the setup mode, the default values.
The offline calibration feature is simply a one point calibration without slope change. The term “offline calibration” refers only to the fact that a sample from WE430 bypass is taken “offline” for laboratory analysis; in fact, no downtime is experienced and the analyzer remains online throughout the procedure.

<5. Analyzer Maintenance> Analyzer Maintenance Maintenance Schedule The WE430 Hydrazine analyzer is designed for simple maintenance. Follow the instructions in this section to ensure proper operation of your analyzer. Recommendations To ensure proper maintenance and good analyzer performance, a service logbook should be kept.
<5. Analyzer Maintenance> Monthly Maintenance Calibration frequency is operator dependent for the most accurate and precise measurements. 5.4.1 Calibration • Replacement of the reagent requires calibration. Refer to Section 4.4, Performing a DYN Calibration. • Calibration intervals can be programmed using the setup mode. This will prompt the operator to recalibrate after a specific amount of time has passed.
Page 60
<5. Analyzer Maintenance> Support the bottom of the reagent bottle and release the holding clamp with one hand. Turn the thumbscrew counterclockwise to release the reagent bottle. Unscrew the white bottle cap and gray tubing connector assembly. Since the reagent contains concentrated acid, which is very corrosive to skin and eyes, take the reagent to a well ventilated area such as a laboratory fume hood.
<5. Analyzer Maintenance> Yearly Preventive Maintenance 5.5.1 Electrodes Replace the reference electrode (Part number: K9705CH). Refer to Section 2.8, Installation of a New Reference Electrode for step-by-step instructions. Replace the iodide sensing electrode (Part number: K9705CG).
