Remove the instrument from the packing carton. Carefully inspect all items to ensure that no visible damage has occurred during shipment. If the items received do not match the order, please immediately contact the local distributor or the HF scientific Customer Service Department.
Brownian motion can no longer support them. Due to the high density of the particle, flocs will form and settle as fine sludge. MICROTSCM (07/09) Page 3 REV 2.4...
Measurement: The potential developed as the result of forced movement of particles in the solution. This is the method used by the MicroTSCM. Continuous sample water is directed into an annulus, inside which a displacement piston oscillates vertically at a fixed frequency. This action causes the liquid to move between the two stainless steel electrodes.
Suggestion: If meeting the minimum flow rate may be a problem, the optional flow alarm may be required. HF Catalog #19886. See section 8.3. To prevent large debris from entering the sample chamber, a 40 mesh screen strainer is recommended. MICROTSCM (07/09) Page 6 REV 2.4...

The analyzer can be flipped on its mount to gain access to the electrical connections. Please refer to the drawing below for mounting dimensions and hole location. Figure 5: Analyzer Mounting MICROTSCM (07/09) Page 8 REV 2.4...
Use twisted pair shielded cable 22AWG-14 AWG for the voltage or current outputs. Tie the shield at the recorder end only. Do not connect the shield at the analyzer. The voltage connections are made at J6 as shown below: MICROTSCM (07/09) Page 9 REV 2.4...
In all cases the following connections apply: Terminal 1: Normally Closed (N.C) Terminal 2: Normally Open (N.O.) Terminal 3: Common (C) Do not use wire larger than #14 AWG as the terminal blocks will not accept it. MICROTSCM (07/09) Page 10 REV 2.4...
The Enter/Menu key is used to either invoke the Main Menu while in the graphing screen or to return to the previous menu. These two buttons are used to modify values or to scroll through possible selections. MICROTSCM (07/09) Page 11 REV 2.4...
Alarms 1&2. These can be set in the Alarms Setup Menu. These will flash on the graphing screen if in an alarm condition. 7 & 8. Current time & date. This can be set in the Monitor Setup Menu. Streaming current graph. Figure 7: Analyzer Screen MICROTSCM (07/09) Page 12 REV 2.4...
Calibration The MicroTSCM has been calibrated at the factory, however to ensure accuracy it is recommended that the instrument be calibrated prior to being placed online. Long term drift may occur in this instrument and HF scientific recommends calibration every three months.
7.2 PI Control Overview The MicroTSCM can be incorporated into an existing control scheme using the 4-20mA or serial outputs. Plant control can also be achieved using the optional Proportional Integral feature included in the MicroTSCM analyzer (HF Catalog # 19550 only).
7.3 PI Control Procedure The assumption is that the wiring between the MicroTSCM analyzer and the dosing pump has been installed. The following procedure is recommended to determine the correct Proportional - Integral (PI) values for any particular system.
7.3.2 Entering the Control Parameters The next step is to enter the control parameters into the MicroTSCM analyzer. To do this, follow the steps: 1. Press /Menu to enter the Main Menu screen.
The optional remote panel meter allows for remote indication of the SCU reading using the 4-20 mA loop of the MicroTSCM. No external power is required, as the meter is powered from the 4-20 mA source of the MicroTSCM analyzer.
11. Rotate the motor slowly by hand to ensure the probe does not hit the cell bottom. If there appears to be any contact adjust the probe up slightly. 12. If the probe does not rotate freely inside the cell, check for obstructions. This condition will cause premature motor wear. MICROTSCM (07/09) Page 19 REV 2.4...
Insert a screwdriver into the slot and pry to remove the cartridge. Be certain to match the desired voltage with the indication arrow when reinserting the cartridge. Figure 11: Fuse MICROTSCM (07/09) Page 20 REV 2.4...
3. Ensure complete coagulant mix with water. 10.2 Technical and Customer Assistance If for any reason assistance is needed regarding this instrument please do not hesitate to contact either the HF scientific Service Department or the HF scientific Customer Service Department.
