Introduction SYSTEM DESCRIPTION & ARCHITECTURE The 9031CX Sodium analyzer system is comprised of the following: Wet-Section (Sensor Unit) a. Hydraulic panel consisting of constant head, flowcell, tubing, thermistor and solenoid valve b. Sodium and reference electrodes c. Reagent container d. Separate sodium standard solution containers (Low and High)
Introduction WET SECTION UNIT 1.2.1 The 9031CX Sodium system is capable of monitoring sodium concentrations in sample feed. The solenoid valve is used to select between analyzing the sample, and accessing calibration standard 1 (Low)/calibration standard 2 (High) during calibration.
Mount the analyzer in a clean, vibration-free area avoiding direct radiant heat, sunlight and drafts. Avoid areas containing chlorinating equipment. The 9031CX Sodium analyzer default design is comprised of two separate sections (transmitter and wet section). The sensor unit can be mounted separately as long as it is no more than 330 feet (100meters) from the transmitter unit.
Transmitter unit is a NEMA 4X rated enclosure with cable glands for wiring. Size and layout of transmitter is shown below. Figure 4 Dimensions of the transmitter unit. (All dimensions in inches) Waltron User Manual 101-045-E.1 9031CX Sodium Analyzer...
If necessary, customer may choose to use sample cooling and pressure reducing equipment. When pressure reducing equipment is being used, a pressure relief valve should be installed between the sample point and sample inlet to ensure maximum safety.

6. Poke a small hole in the top of the bottle so KCl flows freely and vacuum does not form. 7. Rinse off any spilled KCl with DI water before installing probe in the flowcell. (KCl will interfere with sample reading if it gets in the flowcell.) Waltron User Manual 101-045-E.1 9031CX Sodium Analyzer...

Operating the analyzer The 9031CX Sodium analyzer system is comprised of separate combination sheet metal and plastic enclosures. The internal hydraulic components and tubing are mounted onto a sample panel connected to the cabinet. Sample enters through the inlet compression fitting at the bottom of the case and first passes through the heat exchanger.
SAMPLE CONCENTRATION ALARMS 3.2.1 When the 9031CX Sodium system is in normal operation mode one alarm operates as a “low” alarm and the other operates as a “high” alarm. The CONC LOW alarm is activated when the sodium level decreases below the set value. The CONC HIGH alarm is activated when the sodium level increases above the set value.
If the analyzer is being started up for the first time, or if it was not in operation for a long time, the user should perform a calibration as detailed in Section 3.7.2. SOFTWARE STRUCTURE MAP Waltron User Manual 101-045-E.1 9031CX Sodium Analyzer...
