Many competitive chlorine sensors require service on a monthly or bimonthly basis. The FCA330 uses a large surface area anode, combined with a large volume of electrolyte and a small cathode to provide operational cycles of up to a year without refilling.The replaceable PTFE membrane is also designed for long term stability.

Theory of Operation Theory of Operation This section provides a basic overview of the TELEDYNE FCA330 Free Chlorine Analyzer. It covers physical and chemical influences on the measurement and the menu structure of the analyzer. 2.1 Influences on the MeasurementpH Value The FCA analyzer only measures the HOCl component of the total Free Chlorine.
Figure 2-1: pH Effects 2.2 Influences on the Measurement — Flow The FCA330 Analyzer consumes chlorine to produce the signal. The area near the sensing tip will become depleted of chlorine without adequate flow to replenish the sample. The sensor requires a minimum velocity of 0.5 ft./sec past the membrane.
Figure 2.2 FCA 330Flow Dependence 2.3 Influences on the Measurement — Temperature Temperature variation influences the FCA330 by changing the permeability of the PTFE membrane and the Nernstian response of the sensor. Combined these changes account for a change of about4% / C°.

FCA330 Installation Installation Mount the FCA330 in a location where there is easy access to the analyzer and sensors. Install the system in an area where vibrations, electromagnetic and radio frequency interference are minimized or absent. Do not mount in direct sunlight or areas of extreme heat. The FCA330 is suitable for outdoor use if mounted with a protective cover or sunshield.
3.2 Wiring Electrical wiring should only be conducted by qualified personnel. See the FCA330 wiring diagram in Figure 3-2 which includes wiring for MODBUS, optional relays and the optional digital preamp. Figure 3-2: FCA330 Wire Transmitter, 24VDC or /110/22 VAC...
3.2.2 Wiring, Sensor The Free Chlorine Sensor and the SP3 pH Sensor were connected to the FCA330 analyzer at the factory, no additional connections are necessary. Color coded connections for these sensors are shown in the wiring diagrams in the Appendix or on the inside cover of the LXT-330 transmitter.
Sample Pressure: 1 to 30 psig (0.1 - 2 bar) Temperature: 32° to 122°F (0° to 50°C) 3.3.2 Connecting the Inlet and Drain fittings The FCA330 is intended for wall mounting only. Sample Inlet: A1/4” barbed fitting is provided for the sample inlet. If desired, a 1/4”compression fitting can be used.
3.4 Installing the Sensors The FCA330 is supplied with the sensor cables pre-wired to the analyzer. The FCA330 instrument and sensors were calibrated at the factory and should be ready for use when assembled. However, changes may have occurred during shipping and storage requiring recalibration.

FCA330 Troubleshooting TROUBLESHOOTING The FCA330 was evaluated and calibrated at the factory before shipment. Upon initial start up the system should require minimal to no adjustments. Verify the system has adequate flow, greater than 10 gals /hr. This is accomplished by setting the flow to the CHFC so that the water fills the outer chamber and slightly overflows into the center tube.
