Commissioning OUSAF12 Commissioning Function check Prior to initial commissioning, ensure that: • The sensor is correctly installed • The electrical connection is correct. Calibrating/adjusting the sensor Measuring points consisting of a photometer sensor, flow assembly (if provided) and a transmitter are adjusted at the factory. Normally adjustment is not required when commissioning for the first time.
Page 19
OUSAF12 Commissioning While the D-tryptophan is dissolving, add deionized water until the beaker contains an approximate volume of 450 ml. Continue stirring at 30 °C (86 °F) until the tryptophan is completely dissolved. Dilute the solution to 1000 ml in a volumetric flask.

Maintenance OUSAF12 It is very important that you use the actual values of the optical Easycal filter. These values are given in the calibration certificate supplied. ‣ Enter the absorbance values (CM44P): Menu/Setup/Inputs/Photometer/Extended setup/Measurement channel/Calib. settings/EasyCal = Yes. Maintenance Take all the necessary precautions in time to ensure the operational safety and reliability of the entire measuring system.

OUSAF12 Maintenance Replacing the gas-filled lamp ‣ Switch off the lamp at the transmitter using the software function. ‣ Remove the lamp cable. ‣ Allow the lamp to cool down (30 minutes). Turn the lamp module counterclockwise to remove it from the flow assembly.
Page 22
Maintenance OUSAF12 Carefully remove the halogen lamp and the spacer. Check the O-ring and replace it if necessary. Do not touch the lamp with your bare hands. Always use talc-free latex gloves. Clean the new lamp with alcohol and insert it into the fitting with the spacer in- between.
Page 23
OUSAF12 Maintenance Replacing the standard incandescent or high-luminescence lamp ‣ Switch off the lamp at the transmitter using the software function. ‣ Remove the lamp cable. ‣ Allow the lamp to cool down (30 minutes). Turn the sensor lamp module counterclockwise to remove it from the flow assembly.
Page 24
Maintenance OUSAF12 Remove the connection, along with the lamp unit, from the lamp housing. To replace the standard incandescent lamp, the entire lamp unit is replaced. Skip the following 3 steps - they only apply for the high-luminescence lamp.
Page 25
OUSAF12 Maintenance Do not touch the new lamp with your bare hands. Always use talc-free latex gloves. Clean the new lamp with a lint-free cloth. Insert the new lamp into the cover (a). Tighten the securing screws again (b). High-luminescence lamp and standard incandescent lamp Insert the new lamp unit back into the housing and then screw the connection together with the 4 securing screws.

OUSAF12 Maintenance Release the 2 securing screws on the optical projection unit (a). Carefully unscrew the optical projection unit (b). Dispose of the lamp unit, along with the cable connector, in accordance with local regulations. Insert the new lamp unit into the optical projection unit and retighten the securing screws.
Page 28
Maintenance OUSAF12 Insert the re-assembled optical projection unit and lamp unit back into the lamp housing. Install the module fully and fit the 4 screws and washers back on the cable connector. Screw the lamp module back onto the flow assembly by tightening it in the clockwise direction.

OUSAF12 Maintenance The following description applies for both sides, i.e. the detector side and the lamp side. Always change O-rings or optical windows on both sides. Remove the 4 Allen screws (1/8" or 3 mm) from the window ring. Make sure to loosen the screws evenly and alternately around the window ring.
Page 30
Maintenance OUSAF12 Mount the optical window and then the window ring, along with the new seals, on the assembly. Make sure to tighten the screws of the window ring uniformly in a diagonally opposite sequence. In this way, you ensure that the ring is seated correctly.
