These operating instructions must always be passed on to the new ® owner should Testomat 2000 THCL change hands. Always adhere to hazard warnings and safety tips when using reagents, chemicals and cleaning agents. Please adhere to the re- spective safety data sheet! Download the safety data sheets for the supplied reagents at http://www.heyl.de .
Further documents ® Testomat 2000 THCL is a plant component. Therefore, always ob- ® ® serve the maintenance manual of Testomat 2000 / ECO and the documentation of the plant manufacturer. Pay particular attention to General instructions • Please adhere to health and safety regulations, electrical equip- ment safety regulations, and environmental protection regulations valid in the country of use and at the installation site.
® • Testomat 2000 THCL requires an interference free and stable HINWEIS power supply. If necessary, use a mains filter to protect Testomat ® 2000 THCL against interference voltages caused, e.g., by sole- noid valves or large motors. Never lay connecting cables parallel to power cables.

Installation Risks resulting from incorrect installation! ® WARNUNG Install Testomat 2000 THCL at a location where it is protected against dripping or splash water, dust and aggressive substances – e. g. in a switch cabinet or on a suitable wall.
The measuring water is taken from the main water line of the water ® treatment plant and fed to the inlet connection of Testomat 2000 THCL. The instrument is equipped with a plug connector for plastic hoses 6/4 x 1 (external diameter 6 mm/ internal diameter 4 mm, wall thickness 1 mm) as standard.
Connect the instrument to the protective earth conductor (for 230/115 VAC). ® Protect Testomat 2000 THCL against interference voltages – e.g. via a mains filter. Shield the instrument against strong electromagnetic fields. ® Block diagram Testomat 2000 THCL Drawn relay positions: Instrument de-energised...

Installation Connecting the mains voltage Only connect the instrument to the specified mains voltage. Refer to the rating plate for the appropriate mains voltage. Connect the cables as follows: Loosen both fastening screws and open the upper door. The terminal box is now accessible. Pierce the required rubber cable glands with a screwdriver and insert the cable through the bush into the terminal box (1)
Installation Connection example: Connecting the plant components Limit value contact LV 1 switches mains voltage Connect the plant components to the output terminals of relays 1 to 19 (e.g. valves). If the plant components require mains voltage, connect the switched mains voltage (l) to the common contact of the re- spective relay (see the connection example for 230 VAC on the left).
Installation Connecting the inputs and outputs ® Testomat 2000 has the following connections for control and moni- toring functions. Do not connect external voltage to these connections! Ensure that the leads are held securely in the terminals. Use the two fastening screws to close the upper door once installa- tion has been completed.
Commissioning Commissioning Handling of reagents/indicators Please adhere to the respective safety data sheets! CAUTION ® Trouble-free operation of Testomat 2000 THCL is only possible ® when using Heyl Testomat 2000 indicators/reagents! Inserting indicator bottles Open the lower housing door by pulling on the right-hand side.
® Switching Testomat 2000 THCL on/off (1) Mains switch Use this switch to switch the instrument on or off. (2) Instrument fuse (inside the instrument) ® This fuse protects Testomat 2000 THCL and the outputs against overloads and short circuits.

® ternal flush valve should be installed upstream of Testomat 2000 THCL. The external flush valve has to be connected to the "Flush” outlet. If the unit is used for monitoring two measuring points, external flushing prevents incorrect measurements caused by sample mixing.
Entering further basic program data Interval pause If the analysis is triggered via a timer, the interval between two analy- ses (plus flushing time) is determined by the interval pause. The shortest interval can be 0 minutes. In this case, analyses are carried out continuously.
