Overview The CLX-XT TRO & Chlorine Monitor allows for the reading of oxidant levels of process water on-line. The CLX-XT has been designed to meet the design criteria specified by Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater (22 Edition) Method 4500-Cl G.
1.2 The Display Figure 1 illustrates all the items that can appear on the display. The upper row of the display (1) is used for reporting the chlorine levels and to provide user guidance in the customer setting routine. The lower row of the display (2) is used to communicate error messages (message queue) and provide user guidance.
1.4 Orientation Front View Standard Connections Optional Connections Bottom View Safety This manual contains basic instructions that must be followed during the commissioning, operation, care and maintenance of the instrument. The safety protection provided by this equipment may be impaired if it is commissioned and/or used in a manner not described in this manual.
Theory of Operation 3.1 The Measurement The CLX-XT has two solenoid valves, one for sample water (FLOW) and one for draining of the cuvette (PURGE). A third solenoid, along with four check valves forms a reagent pump. Sample water flow is controlled by the FLOW solenoid valve. The PURGE solenoid valve is used to empty the cuvette in the measurement chamber.
3.2 The Cooling Chamber The CLX-XT has a unique feature that allows for extended reagent life. Under temperature conditions above 25˚C the indicator reagent would quickly oxidize resulting in low readings. To control this condition the CLX-XT has a built-in cooling chamber for the indicator reagent.
Installation and Commissioning Prior to use for the first time, one of the reagents (the indicator) will have to be mixed. Refer to section 10.2 Replacing or Installing the Reagents. 4.1 Mounting & Site Selection The instrument is designed for wall mounting. If wall mounting is not practical, the instrument can be mounted on any suitable level surface Choose a location that is easily accessible for operation and service and ensure that the front display rests at eye level.
4.2 Plumbing The instrument is designed to require very little head pressure to operate, but will need around 0.34 bar (5 PSI). The maximum pressure for proper operation should not exceed 10.3 bar (150 PSI). The maximum allowable fluid temperature is 55°C (131°F). Opaque tubing is recommended be used if the tubing will be exposed to sunlight, to prevent algae growth.
4.3.1 Instrument Power The instrument is equipped with 100-240 VAC, 47-63 Hz power supplies requiring 150VA; please verify that the line voltage falls within these specifications. A circuit breaker must be placed prior to the power connection in close proximity and within easy reach to allow for service.
4.3.2 Cooling Chamber Power Power must be connected to the cooling control box mounted on the top right side of the cabinet. The requirements are 100-240VA, 47-63 Hz and 100VA. A circuit breaker must be placed prior to the power connection in close proximity and within easy reach to allow for service.
4.3.5 Remote Standby Connections (Cat #25264) This option allows the instrument to operate on special user control software and hardware, where an external control initiates each cycle. This control line is called RSI or Remote Standby Input. The CLX-XT will indicate the current status on another line called RSO or Remote Standby Output.
Installing Reagents The CLX-XT will require that two reagents be installed prior to operation. These are a buffer and an indicator. A 12 month supply of reagents can be ordered under catalog no. 09991. For reagent preparation refer to section 10.2 Replacing and Installing the Reagents.
Operation The CLX-XT TRO values are reported in milligrams per Liter (mg/L), or if preferred the equivalent Parts Per Million (PPM). Readings above 10.00 mg/L are outside the range of this instrument. Although the CLX- XT may display above 10.0 mg/L, these readings will not be within the stated accuracy. As the reagents degrade due to aging, readings above 10.0 mg/L may decrease in value.
At any time the standby status can be checked by either Modbus Coil Address 00005 or Input Address 10005. False (0) indicates standby True (1) indicates measurement cycle active. Control is only possible through Modbus Coil Address 00005. 5.3 Routine Measurement (Remote Standby Control Option Cat # 25264) The CLX-XT can operate using Remote Standby Control.
5.4 Operating Screens During normal operation, the instrument will have the arrow beside AUTO highlighted with the current scale displayed on the lower row of the display and the measured reading on the upper row of the display (see screen shown). The screen shown to the right indicates that the system has just been started or just entered AUTO mode from Service mode and no readings have been taken yet.
Instrument Calibration The instrument was tested prior to leaving the factory. The instrument operates from a pre-determined calibration curve for high accuracy of residual oxidant concentration. It is not necessary to recalibrate to maintain accuracy specifications. If re-calibration is required by a regulatory authority, this can easily be performed if required.
6.2 Zero (offset) Calibration Procedure Generally this calibration is only required if readings are expected to be below 1 mg/L or if it is required by a regulatory authority. To perform this calibration, the water supply to the CLX-XT must be changed to chlorine free water such as de-ionized water. This chlorine free water must be run through the instrument for at least 5 minutes prior to using the following procedure.
Instrument Configuration (CONFIG mode) The instrument has been designed to provide the ability to customize the instrument according to needs at any time during normal operation. This mode has been split into sub-menus to facilitate instrument configuration. This section describes how to use each of the sub-menus to configure the instrument.
7.3 Configuring the RS–485 Port The instrument is equipped with an RS 485 port which operates in Simple bus or Modbus. Prompts will appear for setting the baud rate, the address and the Modbus transmission mode (RTU or ASCII). Select the correct baud rate (1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, or 19200) for operation of the I/O port by pressing the ...
Alarm 1 Set Point: This prompt is used to select the set point for this alarm; this is indicated by “S/P” shown on the lower row of the display. Select the desired alarm level by using the and buttons. Once the desired set point has been set, press the ...
7.7 Units of Measurement The unit of measure can be set to either mg/L (milligrams per liter) or PPM (parts per million). The factory setting is mg/L. Select the desired UNIT using the and buttons and press the button to accept it. mg/L screen PPM screen 7.8 Averaging and Filtering...
7.10 RS-485 Parameters These menus will only appear if the RS-485 is enabled (see 7.3). The factory setting is 8 Bit, no (nOnE) Parity, 1 Stop Bit. Make selections using the and buttons then press the button to move to the next menu.
7.13 4mA Adjustment If the 4-20 mA setting is turned ON (7.1 Setting the 4-20 mA Output), the following two menus will appear. The first menu outputs a constant 4 mA while allowing for a small amount of adjustment. The adjustment can be made using the and buttons. This adjustment will allow the operator to make the CLX-XT agree with a PLC or SCADA system.
8.0 Additional Features and Options 8.1 RS-485 Outputs The CLX-XT has the capability to operate in two different RS-485 modes. Included are a simple communication mode and Modbus communications. Both modes will automatically configure and do not require any changes or selections 8.1.1 Simple Communication The CLX-XT can provide basic communications over simple programs such as the Hilgraeve HyperTerminal that is included with most Microsoft Windows...
8.4 Standby Reagent Purge (Software Option Cat #25316) During times when the CLX-XT is not being operated such as in voyage between ballasting and deballasting no reagent moves past the check valves. In some instances this can cause these parts to clog. To prevent this occurrence a single pump action is enabled at a timed interval.
Troubleshooting 9.1 CLX-XT Fault Detection The CLX-XT performs continuous diagnostic monitoring. In the CLX-XT, there are 4 severity levels of fault detection. Level 4, 3 & 2 will allow normal operation, but warn of the problem. Level 1 is an instrument failure and the instrument will not operate. Any faults are displayed in a queue form in the bottom row of the LCD.
A level 1 fault is a system fault. This is NOT a problem that the operator can correct, and the unit must be returned to the factory for service (see section 9.5). These failures consist of failures in the CPU, A/D, EEPROM or other devices internal to the instrument. The queued display will show FAIL, the upper display will show a four or five digit fault code.
9.4 Reagent Clogs If reagents fail to flow or Prime it may be due to a clog in either the tubing or at a check valve. To alleviate this you may have to flush the system with Chlorine Free water, preferably Deionized water.
10.0 Routine Maintenance 10.1 Maintenance Schedule The recommended schedule is shown below. It is important to replace the reagents to get reliable accurate readings from the CLX-XT. The Buffer supplied can last for up to one year*. Each mixed indicator reagent will last for up to 90 days* when kept in cooling chamber.
Page 37
After a PRIME the CLX-XT will perform a water calibration (WCAL). It will take a few minutes to complete this procedure. *The 1 year buffer and 90 day indicator reagent life is primarily used on ballast water applications. The assumption is based on the factory default of a 60 second cycle and up to 24 hours total operation per month.
