 Description of measurement parts

2.2 Description of measurement Parts

(1) Sample and dilution water metering tube

The metering tube is used to measure the sample (or diluting water) that is overflowing to the
sample water collection unit. As is shown below, the sample (or diluting water) is introduced
by way of negative-pressure suction, and on the other hand, the remaining sample between
the float switch and the inlet nozzle is discharged back through the pressurized backwashing
method. If the water level of the sample cannot rise to the height of the float switch during
the suction and weighing operations, measurement failure ‘TROUBLE’ will occur, and the
measurement will be stopped.

(2) Buffer
Similar to Sample and dilution water metering tubes, sample gets introduced into the buffer
tube before the float switch is ON.

Remarks: If the sample, reagent or dilution water does not rise to the level of the level
Sensor (or float switch) during the suction operation, measurement failure alarm
("TROUBLE") will occur.

(3) Mixing tube

Sample (+dilution water) is added to the mixing tube and bubbling is performed.

(4) Solenoid valve

Valve is always “CLOSED” but “OPENS” when the power is provided.
Remarks: If foreign matter or any other material enters the solenoid valve during the
negative pressure suction, negative pressure becomes insufficient for the metering operation
resulting in weighing failure ("TROUBLE" alarm raised).

(5) Pressure・Flow control valve

① Pressure regulation valve (water regulator)
Valve that adjusts the main pressure (primary pressure) of tap water.
② Pressure regulation valve (regulator) (mounted on the back of the device)
Valve that adjusts the original air pressure (primary pressure). Set it to 0.35MPa.
③ Pressure adjustment valve (PRESSURE) (device front panel)
Valve that adjusts the carrier gas pressure (secondary pressure). Set it to 0.1MPa.
④ Catalyst tube cooling valve (COOLING)
Adjust the valve in such a way that slight air can be passed (approx. 1L/min) from the
nozzle onto the outer wall of the catalyst tube.

21
 ⑤ Ozone flow rate adjustment valve (OZONE)
Valve that regulates the flow rate to the ozone generator. Normally adjust
to 300 mL / min.
⑥ Carrier gas flow rate adjustment valve (CARRIER)
Valve that regulates the flow rate of carrier gas. Normally adjust to 300 mL / m

② Calibration printing
・Calibration mode: printing in case of measurement of standard solution.
・Calibration printing,: calibration values are printed at the beginning of each
measurement and during all voltage measurements
・Calibration printing prints the measurement starting time, each detected voltage,
and the calibration value for each measurement.

Calibration value〔V〕
18:40[1] cal. 32.35V 161.8 Peak voltage value
BASE 0.430V PEAK 2.178V
Base voltage value

③ Measured value printing

・In Measurement mode, printing in case of sample measurement.
・Measured value printing, measured values are printed at the beginning of each
measurement time and during measurement of series.
・Print by selecting the printing type「Measured Values Only」,「Measured Values +
Bar Graph」,「Measured Values + Bar Graph + Measured Data」.

≪Print only measured values≫ ≪Measured Values + Bar Graph + curve≫

④ Alarm printing
・In the event of alarm due to abnormal metering「TROUBLE」etc., during the
measurement, the time, the metering step number and the alarm printing shown in the
following table are printed at that moment.
・Alarm printing is also performed in case of upper concentration limit alarm.
・Stop the measurement in case of upper concentration limit alarm, various metering
failure, sample shutting, and continuously repeated setting on the alarm condition
setup screen.
・See the 『ALARM List』in the Appendix for alarm details.

⑤ Power fail printing

In case of power fail and return during automatic measurement (when START LED
lights up), the power fail time and recovery (return) time are printed.
(The same print output is received if the analyzer is switched off with the power switch
during measurement operation.)
≪Alarm Printing≫

POWER RETURN 20/10/25 14:35 YY/MM/DD HH:MM at power return

POWER FAIL 20/10/25 14:33 YY/MM/DD HH:MM at power fail

Power supply to the analyzer is stopped from 20/10/25 14:33 to 20/10/25 14:35

⑥ Daily report printing

・In case of daily report printing and date changes, the measured voltage data of final
measurement results the day before are printed, and the maximum, minimum and
average values of all measured values the day before are printed.
・After the daily report is printed, the current day on the page header and the unit are
printed

(b) Printing operations

① Printing direction of the printer
・Can set the printing directions (forward direction, reverse direction) on the basic
setting screen.
・The print examples on the Manual are printed in the「forward direction」for better
understanding.
・When the daily report is required to be clipped in the notes, the direction「reverse
direction」of printing is used for convenience.
・Printer papers are fed in by operating the [P.FEED] key.

(c) Cautions
① Pay more attention to the following circumstances if the printer does not print.
(The measuring operation of the device is stopped.)
・When the lift lever of the printer rises.
(Be sure to pull down the lift lever when the thermosensitive recording paper is set)
・When no thermosensitive recording paper is set.
・When the thermosensitive recording paper is set after turnover.

② The printers thermal head part is made of ceramic and is coated with thermosensitive
elements thereon through vaporization, to carry out the surface image layer printing.
Do not touch it directly, with a screwdriver or any other hard objects.

③ Pay attention to that if the printer is used in a dusty environment and the head part is
damaged during the measurement period, insufficient print text and slow printing
caused by abnormal paper feeding will occur.
