  • Page 41: Maintenance Menus

    Section 2 Alternatively, the output can be bracketed between 2–4 mg/L to control chemical feeds, or the signal can be inverted by assigning a higher mg/L reading for REC LO and a lower mg/L reading to REC HI. Initially, select an output span that will cover the expected range of chlorine concentration in the sample.

    The CL17 analyzer can be purchased with a Hach Network Interface Card ® which allows the CL17 to display its readings on an AquaTrend display or allows data to be sent to a PC via a Serial Interface Module.

  • Page 60: Method Of Analysis

    General Information Figure 22 CL17 Chlorine Analyzer Method of Analysis Free available chlorine (hypochlorous acid and hypochlorite ions) oxidizes the DPD indicator reagent at a pH between 6.3 and 6.6 to form a magenta- colored compound. The depth or intensity of the resulting color is proportional to the concentration of chlorine in the sample.

  • Page 61: Principle Of Operation

    General Information Principle of Operation The analyzer is designed to capture and analyze a portion of the sample every 2.5 minutes. The sample portion is captured in the colorimeter measuring cell where the blank absorbance is measured. Measurement of sample blank absorbance allows compensation for any turbidity or natural color in the sample, and provides an automatic zero reference point.
