COD and rapid screening of Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD). MANTECH products are manufactured, tested and calibrated to meet published standard specifications under our strict quality assurance guidelines. The main components consist of the sensor, electrode block, light source, and three ports (one each for sample, blank solutions and waste).
® The PeCOD L100 analyzer gives a direct measurement of the oxidation of organic compounds, thus providing a real measurement of organic pollutants and not an inferred one. The reaction produces mainly carbon dioxide & water from organic C, H and O. 1.3 Technical and General Specifications * Specifications are subject to change without notice ANALYSIS DATA...

Precautionary Labels Read all labels and tags attached to the instrument. Although highly unlikely, personal injury or damage to the instrument could occur if not observed. 2.2 Overview of Product and Function The L100 analyzer is comprised of the following major components: •...
3.1 Unpacking the Instrument Please refer to the standard packing list included with your L100 for a complete list of L100 accessories and items. If any of these items are missing or damaged, contact MANTECH or your local authorized MANTECH representative immediately.
The L100 has one USB interface located on the back of the analyzer. This is used for communication with a PC. The software is supplied preinstalled on laptop PC and is available for purchase from MANTECH or one of its authorized distributors.
2. Mix 1 part of COD-free water with 9 parts Yellow Electrolyte to make your blank solution 3. Mix 1 part of the original Calibrant solution (supplied by MANTECH), with 9 parts Yellow Electrolyte to make your "reference" or "calibration" solution...
Ensure you prepare sufficient amounts of each solution, taking into account the volume required for priming (~2mL per prime), calibration and sample analysis. It is recommended to prepare a total minimum volume of 20mL for each sample, and 250mL and 500mL of pre-mixed calibrant and blank, respectively. 4.4 Priming of Lines Always prime both Port A and Port B lines 3 times before any analysis to ensure that both lines are filled with liquid and there are no air bubbles present.
8. Repeat the new sensor routine once more. If the M and C meet the passing criteria in section as shown in the box below, the sensor is ready to analyze samples. To run a calibration manually from the touchpad: 1.

Analysis of a typical sample manually from the touchpad: The following parameters should be selected: 1. COD range: Advanced Blue / Green / Yellow / Red, select the appropriate range based on the original concentration of sample/analyte. 2. Reference Solution: only if the reference solution (Calibrant) provided is not used. Enter the value for your own solution 3.
4.8 Other Operational Functions Event Log Please refer to section 6, Troubleshooting Run Standby This function can be activated when the L100 is not in use and ensures that the instrument is primed and maintains calibration for the next sample, when left inactive for several hours during the day. When this function is enabled, the L100 analyzer will prime Port B.
Note that it is recommended that the logs be deleted every time the sensor is changed to prevent data build up and slow log response. The logs can be downloaded as a .csv file from the PeCOD® prior to deletion for record keeping. Logs are downloaded to a PC using the PeCOD® software supplied by MANTECH.
5.2 Battery Pack An optional battery pack for portable field use is available from MANTECH and your local MANTECH authorized representative. This battery pack should be plugged into the back of the L100 (for field use) and can be recharged when plugged into an L100 that is connected to an external power supply.
3. Place electrical tape over one hole to prevent the DI / NaCl from draining out of the internal channel and fill with the appropriate solution for storage. Once filled, tape over the second hole and write the type of solution inside and the date it was stored. Tape the O-rings down to prevent them from getting lost. 6.

Erasing all logs may also be necessary. Internal communication error codes may include (but are not limited to): 0.1, 2.27, 8.2, 8.3, 9.1, 9.2, 10.1, 10.2, 11.1, 13.1, 13.2, 102.2, 203.1, 203.2, 204.1, 205.1, 205.2, 205.3, 205.4, 211.7, 215.1. Contact MANTECH at dealersupport@mantech-inc.com if these error codes cannot be rectified.
8. Repeat the same process for Port B, using the same syringe tip and hole position. 9. Prime as normal to verify that the blockage has been removed. 7.
