Installation Installation Installation environment To ensure the stable use of the HU-200SS SS-90 condition, install the HU-200SS SS-90 in a location that meets the following requirements. Instrument mainframe The location should be well ventilated to prevent build-up of moisture. The ambient temperature should be between −20°C and 55°C.
Installation Installing the HU-200SS This instrument can be mounted on a pole (50 A) or on a wall. Installation on a pole View of the HU- 200SS mounted on a pole Maintenance [Unit: mm] area Installation on a wall 4-10 × 11 slot View of the HU- 200SS mounted on a wall...
Installation Procedures for connections Opening the converter cover 1. Remove the two rubber-made screw caps located on the upper part of the front of the converter. Do not lose the removed screw caps that will be reattached after the work. 2.
The applicable electric wire is of 0.75 mm to 5.5 mm (AWG18 to AWG10). Put the power switch in a place near the HU-200SS SS-90 so that the power can be turned ON/OFF easily. WARNING If there is a possibility of a lightning strike, install an arrester on the output side of the converter and on the side of receiving instruments.
Installation Connecting the contact output terminal The contact capacity is lower than 250 V AC, 3 A or 30 V DC, 3 A at a resistance load. The terminal screw for the contact output is M4. The applicable electric wire is of 0.75 mm to 5.5 mm (AWG18 to AWG10).
Installation Connecting the transmission output terminals The terminal screws for transmission output is of M3.5. The applicable electric wire is 2 mm (AWG 14) max. For the transmission output cable, use a shielded cable. If there is a possibility of a lighting strike, install an arrester on the output side of this instrument and on the side of receiving instruments.
Installation Connecting the communication terminal Connecting the RS-485 terminal The HU-200SS SS-90 has an RS-485 communication terminal. To use this terminal, connect the wiring. The applicable electric wire is 0.14 mm to 2.5 mm (AWG26 to AWG14). For the communication output cable, use a twisted shielded pair cable.
Installation Connecting the detector cable Precautions for the detector cable Turn OFF the power source during the connecting work. For maintenance, the detector will need to be pulled up. For this reason, provide enough wiring to allow for this. Lay down the detector cable along a route that is adequately separated from the vicinity of any equipment that may cause induction in the motors, etc.
Installation Detector installation method Two types of holders for installing the detector have been standardized. Immersion-type holder The detector is maintained at the tip of a holder, and the holder is immersed in a sample. Drop-type holder The detector is passed through the inside of a holder fixed in place, and only the detector is raised and lowered.
Page 27
Installation For a drop-type holder Pass the detector through a holder, drop the holder in measured liquid, and set up the holder while the tip of the detector is soaked in the measured liquid. Set up the detector at a location where it can be easily pulled up or maintained. Use a SUS-made drop-type holder if the holder length exceeds 2 m.
Operation Operation Preparation for operation When this equipment is used for the first time, perform the following. Wiring check Check the installation status of sensors. Initial settings (the selection of working curve, settings for transmission signals, and settings for operating conditions of relay contacts) Calibration (zero calibration) (Calibration after reset is not needed because calibration information is stored on the sensor side and is called up to the screen under energized conditions.)

Measurement Cal menu In the Cal menu, zero calibration and span calibration of the MLSS detector is preformed. Since the transmission method is adopted, the zero point might change due to dirt, but span sensitivity does not change. It is recommend to check the zero point at regular intervals. For span calibration, obtain the correlation between a measured value and an analyzed value in a certain period during which concentration fluctuates, and enter a coefficient.

Information for accurate measurements Information for accurate measurements This chapter provides information on maintenance aimed at ensuring accuracy, such as calibration methods. Zero calibration Cal mode Zero calibration is an operation adjusting the value of clean water to zero. The factors of zero point fluctuations, such as dirt on the sensor head or the deterioration of light sources, can be eliminated by zero calibration.
Information for accurate measurements Selecting the sample properties-specific working curves The MLSS meter has the capability of analyzing a SS value to adjust another value to the SS value and the capability of selecting three types of working curves according to sample properties in advance.
Information for accurate measurements Checking the zero calibration data On the Calibration Data Check screen, checks can be made of the amount of transmitted light for zero calibration and the number of days elapsed since the date of the last zero calibration. A check of the amount of transmitted light makes a comparison with the initial amount of transmitted light.
Information for accurate measurements Span calibration Span calibration matches a measured value with an analyzed value. Since the span sensitivity of the light transmission method does not change, it is not intended to calibrate variations in sensitivity on the instrument side. A span coefficient is calculated to obtain a correlation between a measured value and an analyzed value, and to match a measured value to an analyzed value.
Page 53
Information for accurate measurements Span calibration procedure Span calibration enters a coefficient that was calculated beforehand. In a situation where an analysis can be made on site, it is possible to take a sample in a bucket on site and adjust the coefficient to the analyzed value. Put the converter in the span calibration mode.
Information for accurate measurements Maintenance of the detector Cleaning the detector The shape of the sensor head is such that dirt, etc. does not easily adhere to it. However, if there is heavy dirt, or if a decrease in the amount of zero light occurs, perform the cleaning work.
