I. GENERAL INFORMATION Introduction Principles of Operation This manual covers the operation, maintenance and Figure 1 is a block diagram of sample flow through troubleshooting for the Orion 1817LL which the monitor. Figure 2 illustrates the sample flow incorporates the software features of a three point and during normal operation.
Principles of Calibration Response of the Low-Level Chloride Electrode The U.S. patented chloride electrode responds to Calibration procedures for analytical instruments are changes in chloride ion concentration. This response important and must be performed carefully. The Orion is described as follows: 1817LL employs a two-segment calibration method to cover a wide range of concentrations, the first The sensing surface of the electrode consists of the...

Cooler Connection Instructions 1. Open the bag which contains the tubing 11. Push the free end of the foam insulation back, components. The bag should contain 10 feet of exposing about two inches of plastic tubing. 1/4” plastic tubing, 5 feet of foam tubing insulation, Remove the smaller nut from one of the union and two 1/4-3/8 union compression fittings.
Installation Of Reagent And Diffusion View Front Left Side of Analyzer Tubing WARNING: Formic acid is hazardous. Use Injection Port protective glasses and gloves. Refer to bottle label for precautions. fluid connector block 1. Support the bottom of the reagent bottle. Turn thumbscrew, counterclockwise to release diffusion bottle.
Installation of Reference Electrode 1. Unpack reference electrode, 7, (Orion 100057) and tubing from shipping box. Remove protective caps from bottom and sidearm of electrode. Save caps for future storage of electrode. Inspect internal of electrode (item 7 in Figure 8). Verify it is at least half filled with the internal fill solution.

It is located on electronic chassis bottom test sample values values and includes an integral circuit breaker. ˚C LCD display - Displays four-and-one-half digit plus polarity sign used to read concentration, slope, E error slope...
Initial Instrument Set-Up Use of Test Mode Before first sample measurements on Orion 1817LL When test key is pressed, the LCD displays can be performed, calibration concentration temperature, millivolts, high range, slope and E increments must be programmed into memory. See Every time the test key is pressed the monitor steps Table 1 below.
Error Mode The Orion 1817LL Monitor diagnoses two types of Table 2 errors which are termed “hard” and “soft.” In the event Error of hard error, the analyzer cannot compute any Code Meaning meaningful concentration values, error LED will be lit and LCD will display an error code.
Shutdown And Start-Up Procedure Start-up 1. Replace the diffusion tubing if sample flow has The following steps should be taken if a loss of sample been off for more than a few days. Tubing flow is expected for more than one day. These becomes brittle with long term exposure to procedures will prevent possible build-up of acidic reagent.
IV. INSTALLATION AND OPERATION OF MODULES Signal Conditioner Module (Orion 180001) The Orion 1817LL Monitor is shipped with signal conditioner module (Orion 180001) factory installed. Read section Setting Module Output and if you need to change the factory settings, see Removing Installed Module.
Electrical Connections Description Of Signal Conditioner 1. If module keypad is still attached, then unscrew Set zero — Sets lower level concentration output. In module keypad from black brackets using the two this mode LED above set zero is active. To set output screws on the keypad.
Programming Measuring Range 1. Press set zero key. LED above set zero will Table 5 activate and LCD will display current programmed Default Values — Orion 1817LL value. Preset default value is 0.1 ppb for log range P0 Off-line CAL Value and 0.1 ppb for linear range.
Optional Alarm Module Setting Alarm Output (Orion 180011) The Orion 1817LL alarm circuit is unique. If the For both alarms 1 and 2, NO and NC conditions are instrument detects chloride concentration is increasing available simultaneously. For “alarms disabled” at such a rate that high alarm value will be reached condition, either NO (factory set) or NC is available.
Electrical Connections for Alarm Module Description of Alarm Module Controls 1. Feed wire through hole in chassis bottom. Set alarm 1 — Sets alarm 1 parameter. When set alarm 1 is pressed, LED on key is active. See Table 5 2.
Alarm During Calibration During calibration the alarm module is automatically deactivated. After the completion of calibration the Series 1800 Monitor automatically enters the sample mode, however, the alarm module remains deactivated. To reactivate, press sample key. The alarm module is deactivated to avoid the high concentration alarm that would result from the standards used to calibrate.
V. CALIBRATION Note: Sample flow rate must be maintained c. Press the program key until the value of P3 is displayed. Press the ▲ and ▼ keys, if required, at 40 mL/min during calibration. to change the value to the desired standard 3 concentration value then press the enter/done Procedure for 3-Point Calibration: key to accept the new value.
Off-Line Calibration Procedure The off-line calibration feature is simply a one-point throughout the procedure. Also, the zero chloride calibration, using an alternate method value for P0. solution can be used for convenience. A known The term “off-line calibration” refers only to the fact chloride concentration can also be generated by using that a sample from Orion 1817LL bypass is taken “off- the calibrator and the zero chloride solution.
Electron Service Department, and is especially useful to plants who rotate Monthly Maintenance instrument operators. Thermo Electron’s Service Department provides a Polish Chloride Electrode Using Orion 151713 periodic checkout, calibration, and operator training Chloride electrode should be polished according to service on site to certify analyzer performance to instructions on Polishing Strips (Orion 151713).
Bi-Monthly Maintenance Replacement/Cleaning of Sample Inlet Filter Replacement of Reagent, Tubing and O-rings 1. Turn off sample flow. 1. Replace acid reagent and diffusion tubing. Shut off analyzer prior to inlet. Remove reagent diffusion 2. Remove filter hex cap using 1-inch open-ended bottle by unscrewing the black thumbscrew at top of wrench.
