  • Page 8: Overview

    Overview The AccUView LED process transmittance monitor allows for the UV transmittance or absorbance measurement of process water on-line. A unique feature of the instrument is the ultrasonic cleaning. Refer to section 8.2 for more information. 1.1 Unpacking and Inspection of the Instrument and Accessories The table below indicates the items in the monitor shipment.
  • Page 9: The Display

    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 % T levels and to provide user guidance in the customer setting routine. The lower row of the display (2) is used to communicate error messages and provide user guidance.
  • Page 10: Vapor Purge

    1.4 Vapor Purge The AccUView LED is equipped with a continuous vapor purge system. A replaceable desiccant pouch in the lower portion of the instrument dries the air. System heat is used to warm the air. A fan inside the instrument continuously circulates heated dry air around the optical well and the flow through cuvette.
  • Page 11: Installation And Commissioning

    3.0 Installation and Commissioning Prior to use for the first time, the supplied desiccant pouch will need to be installed. Refer to section 9.2 Replacing or Installing the Desiccant Pouch. 3.1 Mounting & Site Selection The instrument is designed for wall mounting. For ease of service there should be about 20 cm (8”) free area above the instrument;...
  • Page 12: Plumbing

    3.2 Plumbing The recommended plumbing for the instrument is shown in Figure 4. The instrument is designed to require very little head pressure to operate; around 6.9kPa (1 PSI). Flow requirements are 100ml/min. – 1.5 liter/min. (0.026-0.40Gal/min). The pressure regulator will allow for a maximum pressure of 1380kPa (200 PSI.).
  • Page 13: Pressurized Systems

    3.2.1 Pressurized Systems: A standard feature of the AccUView LED is a pressure regulator. The regulator is rated for use up to 1380 kPa (200 PSI) and will lower the pressure down to a pressure more suitable for use in the AccUView LED. If inlet pressures can exceed 325 kPa (47 PSI) use appropriate tubing to connect to the AccUView LED.
  • Page 14: Power

    Figure 5: Electrical Connections for the Instrument 3.3.1 Power: The instrument is equipped with a 100-240 VAC, 47-63 Hz switching power supply; please verify that the line voltage falls within these specifications. It is recommended that a circuit breaker be placed prior to the power connection to allow for service.
  • Page 15: Operation

    Operation This process monitor allows for the measurement of the transmittance of process water on- line. Process water is usually reported in units of %T. Readings above 102 %T are indicated by a flashing display. Readings above 100 %T indicate that the current sample is better than the calibration water.
  • Page 16: Security Access Feature

    4.3 Security Access Feature The instrument is equipped with a security access code feature that can be activated in the configuration mode. If the security feature is enabled, the screen shown in the illustration below will appear when the MODE/EXIT button is pressed. The security code (333) must be entered to gain access to CAL or CONFIG menus.
  • Page 17: Instrument Calibration

    Instrument Calibration The instrument was calibrated and tested prior to leaving the factory. Therefore, it is possible to use the instrument directly out of the box. Under normal conditions, re- calibration is recommended at least once every month. To get the greatest accuracy, you may need to calibrate once per week.
  • Page 18: Abs Calibration

    5.2 ABS Calibration Before starting the calibration procedure, be sure to turn off the instrument’s ultrasonic cleaning option. See section 7.10 for instructions. 1. Select the calibration function of the instrument by pressing the MODE/EXIT button once. The arrow beside CAL will be illuminated on the display. The lower display shows alternating 0 (indicating that the 0.000ABS standard is requested) and ↵.
  • Page 19: Calibration Error

    5.3 Calibration Error If the screen shown below is displayed after the 100%T or 0 ABS calibration, the internal diagnostics have determined that the calibration fluid requires replacement or the flow through cuvette requires replacement. Check, the calibration fluid & cuvette, then recalibrate or restore the factory calibration see 6.1 Restoring Factory Settings.
  • Page 20: Restore Factory Settings

    Restore Factory Settings. 6.1 Restoring Factory Settings If the instrument is unable to perform a calibration due to a low lamp output, bad calibration standard or a dirty cuvette, the instrument will display CAL on the lower row of the display and Err on the upper row. The operator has two choices to correct this problem or restore the factory calibration.
  • Page 21: Instrument Configuration (Config Mode)

    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.
  • Page 22: Setting The 4 Ma Level
