Maintenance Maintenance This chapter provides information on maintenance in order to ensure the highest accuracy and optimum use of the HR-200. List of periodic checks This section describes the general check items for the residual chlorine sensor. Periodic checks followed are necessary for accurate measurement.
Maintenance Maintenance of sensor This section describes the maintenance procedure for a general residual chlorine sensor. Checking the flow rate of the sample For the residual chlorine sensor, measured data is affected by the sample flow rate. If the flow rate decreases due to clogged piping or the like, the reading may become lower.
Maintenance Check of residual chlorine concentration This instrument measures residual chlorine without sample conditioning by reagent. The pH or conductivity will affect measurement data. Check the residual chlorine of the sample water by a DPD method tester for getting a reference concentration. Once a day is recommended. Perform calibration whenever water quality is changed or after maintenance of the detector (cleaning of the electrode or the cell, replacement of the electrode or beads) with a sampling valve closed.
Page 62
Maintenance 4. Remove the cathode electrode from the sensor holder. Cathode electrode Note The surface of the gold cathode should be clean and smooth. Reading will be affected by the residual contamination on the cathode surface. 5. Clean up contamination on the cathode electrode surface. Wipe off any remaining foreign matter on the cathode electrode with soft cloth or the ...
Maintenance Replacing the cleaning beads/Cleaning and or replacement of the mesh filter Suggestion of the bead choice Two types of cleaning beads are attached within the sensor unit. Normally glass beads are used for cleaning. If the metal coating on the cathode surface is insistent, ceramic beads are recommended.
Page 64
Maintenance 4. Discard the old cleaning beads, and replace with new cleaning beads. 5. Install the beads cell by reversing the steps for removing it. Note Wipe the beads if remained around the O-ring before attaching beads cell on the measurement cell. Beads around the O-ring will disturb sealing.
Maintenance 2. Remove the O-ring attached to the measurement cell nozzle, and then take out the mesh filter. Clean or replace the filter depending on how contaminated it is. Insert the Mesh filter rounded net into the hole. Round the net (mesh filter). Filter supporter O-ring 3.
Maintenance 4. Remove the cathode electrode from the sensor holder. Cathode electrode Note The surface of the gold cathode should be clean and smooth. Reading will be affected by the residual contamination on the cathode surface. 5. Supply a new cathode electrode and attach it to the sensor holder. 6.
Maintenance Cleaning the overflow cell (RA-10) Water stains or the like that adhere to the overflow cell over time eventually flake off and flow into the measurement cell, causing the mesh filter to be clogged. Operation 1. Turn OFF the converter. 2.
Maintenance Pausing the analyzer When sample is stopped be sure to turn off the power because the cathode electrode will be plated by silver. If the cathode is plated by silver, the measurement data will be reduced. Operation 1. Turn OFF the converter. 2.
Maintenance Calibration The calibration is classified into the zero calibration, the span calibration, and the temperature calibration. Before calibration wait a few minutes for warm up Do not calibrate the sensor immediately after powered, wait to warm up and confirm that the reading is stable.
Page 70
Maintenance Calibration by zero solution The zero point is adjusted to the reading of the flowing zero solution for the strict calibration. Zero solution should be non-chlorine water. Operation 1. Enter the calibration mode by performing the operation described in “ Calibration ” (page 57), and then step into the Zero calibration screen.
Page 71
Maintenance Span calibration In the span calibration, the electrical zero calibration is carried out automatically. Span calibration needs a reference value of concentration by a DPD tester. Operation 1. Check the residual chlorine concentration of the sample water with a DPD analysis. 2.
Page 72
Maintenance Temperature calibration It is not necessary to calibrate temperature daily. Operate this mode once if you mind or if the temperature error exceeds 0.2C. Confirm that the temperature reading on the converter is stable. Measure the temperature of the sample water with a reference thermometer. When the hold mode is selected, the transmission output becomes the value specified on the setup menu.
Sudden change of Avoid sudden temperature change of sample water. temperature Install the HR-200 in an environment where the pH value does not The residual chlorine data change significantly. of the HR-200 is affected by pH of the sample water.

Sample flow must be kept constant. The sensor is affected by flow rate. 3: If the regulator recommended by HORIBA Advanced Techno is used inlet pressure should be over 0.1 MPa. 4: Sample pH should be constant. This sensor is dependent on the pH which effects the dissociation of hypochlorous acid.
Data 6: The sample outlet of the RA-10 must be atmospheric pressure. Shorter piping is recommended to reduce back pressure. 7: The concentration of metallic ion in the sample should be less than standard value of Water Supply Act in Japan. 8: If the sensor is exposed to direct sunlight, the electrode may deteriorate.

Data Technical data What is residual chlorine? Residual chlorine means hypochlorous acid that is produced when chlorine agent is dissolved in water and chloroamine that is produced when hypochlorous acid is combined with ammonia. The former is called free residual chlorine and the latter combined residual chlorine. The two are collectively called residual chlorine.
Data Measuring principle The measuring principle of the HR-200 is three-pole polarographic method. Gold is a material of the cathode electrode, silver is used for the anode electrode and silver/silver chloride is used for the reference electrode. The reference electrode regulates the potential to be constant between the sample and cathode electrode (Fig.
Effect of electrical conductivity of sample Electro chemical reaction is needed to measure residual chlorine for the HR-200. The sensitivity is affected by the conductivity less than a specified level (Fig. 4). Add electrolyte for example sodium chloride to keep the conductivity more than 100 S/cm for low conductive sample.
Page 88
Correct reading is achieved on the assumption of the constant and proper flow rate. Effect of sample temperature In the polarographic method used by the HR-200, the signal from the sensor is affected by the temperature of the sample. There are two main reasons of the temperature dependency.
After replacing the sensor, warm up (for break-in) for at least 3 h and then start the calibration. Electrochemical cleaning capability The HR-200 uses an electrochemical reaction to measure the concentration of residual chlorine. General tap water, swimming pool water, and bath water contain metallic ions. When metallic ions reach the surface of the cathode electrode, metallic ions receive electrons and will be reduced to metal which is plating on the cathode surface.
