  • Page 25  Cycle time (The time the SPI-C170 will ‘wait’ between 2 measurements in seconds. Setting this at 300, means that the SPI will wait 5 minutes, before the next measurement starts. If the colour valve time is set at 0, the automatic reagents colour dosing is activated. This means that the dosing of a shot of reagent colour will be adapted to the use of the reagent.
  • Page 26 More time means fewer measurements, but it saves more reagents colour. The SPI-C170 will temporary stop measuring and controlling as long as this menu is opened. The pumps will remain pumping at the same level as before this menu was opened.
  • Page 27 SPI – C 170 CHLORINE 10.2 When you select pH from the calibration menu, the menu as in figure 10.2.1 will appear. In this menu it is possible to calibrate the pH. For calibrating the pH value, it is important to have the right tools at hand. The pH is calibrated using 2 independent constant buffer solutions with different pH values.

For solving problems you follow the following steps: 1. Check the problem, you can do this by selecting Alarms from the main menu. You are able to see the active alarm here.
  • Page 42 SPI – C 170 CHLORINE Example On the keypad, the red LED is flashing. The alarm “A09: pH PUMP” is shown on the Alarm menu. This alarm means that the pump has been at full power for over a course of <1800> seconds (this time is adjustable), and the pH value is still high.
  • Page 43 The temporarily turning off of the SPI-C170 with data preservation, is called the hot start As the unit is commissioned for a longer period of time, the battery ages. This is causing the SPI no longer retaining the clock settings. As soon as this seems to be the fact, we advise you to take steps to replace the battery.
  • Page 44 SPI – C 170 CHLORINE 13.Manual operation The SPI-C170 contains the possibility to let the user control the Chlorine or the acid pumps on manual or semi-automatic mode. When you select Manual operation from the main menu, the screen as figure 13.1 appears.

  • Page 55 When you chose for Version info in the Configuration menu, the screen as in figure 16.2.1 appears. In the version information menu it is possible to view the following information: 1. Software (the current version of the SPI-C170 Chlorine software) 2. System ID (Your custom system ID of this SPI model) You can use this information if the supplier asks for this for technical assistance.
  • Page 56 Because of the discolouration, the water will get more dark, and absorb more light. When this happens, less light will fall on the receiver, resulting in less voltage. The SPI will measure this change. A measurement without reagents colour should give an internal value of around 1000. A good measurement with reagents colour added will be much lower.
  • Page 57 SPI – C 170 CHLORINE 16.3.2 Calibrating zero value When the zero value starts to differ a lot from the normal value of 1000, it is important to check if the cell is clean. If the cell is clean, the cell might need to be calibrated. Calibrating implies that the zero value must be set back to its default value of 1000.
  • Page 58 System reset The SPI-C170 contains an option to reset the system using the screen instead of taking out the adapter out of the socket. This way, you can reset the SPI using the SPI-REMOTE software. When you  choose System reset in the configuration menu, you see the screen as figure 16.5.1. If you press ( in this menu, the SPI-C170 will be reset using the hot start method.

  • Page 59: Decommissioning

    SPI – C 170 CHLORINE Decommissioning If you’d like to decommission the SPI-C170 for (longer) periods, follow the below procedure: 1. Remove the adapter from the power outlet. 2. Remove the reagents colour vial from the holder an rinse the tube with clean water. (please take the necessary safety precautions).
