Preface – Documents and safety
Thank you for purchasing this high quality analytical instrument. The analyzer is designed for
installation in industrial environments and intended for professional use. On delivery the
analyzer does not offer readily available end-user functionality. The analyzer needs to be
installed and configured by competent staff prior to use by the end user. Information about
the exact specifications, necessary connections, utilities and maintenance schedules is given
in the accompanying GENERAL SAFETY BOOK (8 languages).
General safety instructions

AppliTek and/or its affiliates use their best efforts to deliver a high quality analytical
instrument and reliable software packages. AppliTek nor its affiliates cannot be held
responsible for any damage that may result from the incorrect use of the software and

Installation of the analyzer – Overview
9
1. Installation of the analyzer
1.1 Dimensions of the analyzer
10
1.2 Location and ambient conditions
The analyzer is designed for installation at indoor environmental conditions. Install the
analyzer where the temperature is maintained as stable as possible between 10 and 30 °C
(range 4°C) and is not subject to sudden temperature changes.
The analyzer should be installed as close as possible near the sampling point. If this is not
the case, a fast loop sampling system has to be installed because a long distance between
the analyzer and the sampling point will increase the response time of the analyzer.
Do not mount the analyzer in direct sunlight! This can affect the visibility of the screen
and the analyzer, its components and reagents.
Other points of attention are: - humidity: 5 – 95 % non-condensing

- avoid corrosive atmospheres
Variation of these conditions can seriously affect the analyzer results and damage the
analyzer and its components!
1.3 Mounting instructions

The analyzer is designed for wall mounting and intended for permanent installation. Make
sure the location is easy accessible. The dimensions of the analyzer are given on the
previous page. The indicated footprint is a strict minimum and doesn’t take into account the
space needed for tubing and cables.
The analyzer has four mounting holes for screws M8x10mm at the back of the cabinet.
These bolts are fastened into/onto the supporting structure from the inside of the electrical
cabinet at the back.
This analyzer has to be installed by qualified technical personnel to ensure adherence

to all applicable electrical plumbing requirements.
2. Power and signals
2.1 Power
First open the electrical cabinet door by pulling the two levers and unhook them. Make
provisions for removing power to the analyzer during servicing. The AC power cable enters
on the left side of the cabinet at the back through the upper left cable gland. The terminals for
the power and ground are located at the upper left hand corner of the cabinet at the back, as
you face the unit. Connect your wiring to the upper side of the terminals. Connect the AC
feed as follows:
- The protective ground at the yellow/green terminal block.

- The hot/line (L) and neutral (N) wire are to be connected at the circuit breaker.

3.2 Sample feed

The sample feed to the analyzer must be at atmospheric pressure if the analyzer uses a
peristaltic pump for sampling. The sample feed to the analyzer must be higher than the
sample flow in the analyzer. It is recommended to use a small overflow vessel (next to the
analyzer) from which the analyzer will take fresh sample. Thus the sample in the overflow
vessel should be continuously refreshed. If the size of the solids present in the sample is too
high, it is recommended to filter the sample.
Connection: 1/8” OD tubing (PFA)

Location: Bottom side of the analyzer
The analyzer is not designed for use with samples that are explosive or flammable. If a
solution other than water is used, this solution should be tested to test the
compatibility with the instrument!
3.3 Rinse feed

The rinse solution should be on atmospheric pressure. The rinse solution (de-mineralized
water) has to be connected to the rinse valve.

3.4 Drain
The analyzer needs a drain to discharge both sample and reagents after analysis. A floor or
sink drain is satisfactory, but it must be unrestricted and located at a lower level than the
analyzer so that gravity will carry away the liquid. The drain must have a vent to the
atmosphere and the drain tube from the analyzer must not be submerged. Pay attention that
the drain line is never blocked. A water connection is also recommended so that the drain
sink and piping is regularly flushed with clean water in order to avoid clogging due to
crystallization. Steepness of the draining pipe must be sufficient.
Drain piping: recommended diameter of 32 mm,
13
Although the chemical reagents are diluted, the user has to check that the external
drain/overflow system is appropriate for reagents and corrosive wastes! Used
reagents shall be treated for disposal according to national or local regulations!
3.5 Overflow
The analyzer needs an overflow tube in order to drain the analysis compartment in case of
leakage of sample fluids, reagent fluids (and combination of both) in the compartment. A floor
or sink drain is satisfactory, but it must be unrestricted and located at a lower level than the
analyzer so that gravity will carry away the liquid. The overflow tube from the analyzer must
not be submerged. Pay attention that the overflow line is never blocked. Steepness of the
overflow pipe must be sufficient.

3.6 Reagents & Calibration/validation solutions feed

Connections have to be made between the reagent containers and the dispensers, the micro
pumps and the cleaning valve. The calibration/validation solutions can be connected to the
REF1/REF2 selection valve.
Connection: 1/8” OD tubing

Location: Bottom or left side of the analyzer
Although the chemical reagents are diluted, the user has to check that the external
drain/overflow system is appropriate for reagents and corrosive wastes! Used
reagents shall be treated for disposal according to national or local regulations!
Remark : Reagents are not supplied for start-up and commissioning.
3.7 Instrument air

The instrument air must be dry and dust free (according to ISA-S7.0.01-1996). The minimal
pressure of the instrument air necessary for the analyzer is 1 bar (100 kPa or 15.5 psi).
Instrument air is used for purging the analyzer in order to prevent corrosion by corrosive
gases such as chlorine gas from outside the analyzer.
Remark : If no corrosive gases are present, instrument air is not needed. AppliTek is not
responsible for corrosion if instrument air is not used.

4. Power up & components test
The analyzer and its components must be tested before the unit can be put into online
service. Make sure that all necessary connections were made before testing the following
components. Switch on the analyzer by means of the circuit breakers lever in the electrical
compartment and (if present) the external power switch.
When connecting the power of the analyzer, the software is started up. First, the initial
startup screen appears. While this screen is visible, the parameters are loaded (loading of
methods, configuration …) and the dispensers are initialized. Next, the MAIN screen
becomes visible automatically.

sample temperature between 5 and 60 °C
Stream selection: Channel1: Stream 1 (Sample valve)

Channel9: REF1 (REF1 valve)
Channel10: REF2 (REF2 valve)
5.2 Analysis
The analyzer uses a colorimetric measurement for the detection of ammonia in the 0 – 1
mg/L NH₃.
The colorimetric determination of ammonia in water is based on the reaction of the

ammonium-ions with hypochlorite and a thymol component which forms a highly intensive
colored complex. This reaction takes place in a strong alkaline medium (pH>10). Sodium
nitroprusside is added as a catalyst to accelerate the reaction. Sodium tartrate is added to
prevent metal-hydroxide precipitation.
The analysis vessel is cleaned with fresh sample. Before the sample is analyzed, it is diluted
by an internal dispenser dilution system. After bringing the sample into the analysis vessel, a
precise sample volume is aspirated by the dispenser. The excess of sample is drained and
the analysis vessel is rinsed with demineralized water. Afterwards, the dispenser doses the
exact volume of sample and a volume of demineralized water in the analysis vessel.

After sampling and dilution, the initial absorbance value is measured at 630 nm. Next, reagent
A and reagent B are added to the sample solution. After respecting a stirring period of 900
seconds – performed to obtain complete color development – the final absorbance value is
determined. With the obtained absorbance values, the ammonia concentration is calculated
according to Beer’s law.
Note:
The Lambert-Beer law states that the absorbance (A) is proportional to the concentration of the
absorbing molecules, the length of light-path through the solution and the molar absorptivity
coefficient.
A = Am * L * C
Am is the wavelength-dependent molar absorptivity coefficient

L is the length of the light-path through the solution
C is the analyte concentration
5.3 Calibration
The automatic calibration procedure measures a REF1 or 0 mg/L NH3 solution (channel 9)
and a REF2 or 10 mg/L NH3 solution (channel 10) to adapt the slope and offset factors by
means of a two point calibration.
23
5.4 Cleaning
The cleaning procedure should prevent any build-up of chemicals in the analyzer. To obtain
an effective cleaning procedure one has to test the cleaning solution and the cleaning
interval for each application. Perform the selected cleaning solution and interval for a trial
period, check then the effectiveness of the procedure and change if necessary.
5.5 Prime
The prime procedure can be used when starting up the analyzer or after a shutdown of the
analyzer: the reagent tubings are flushed with fresh reagent solution and the sample tubing
and the analysis vessel are flushed with fresh sample.

8.1 Check for leaks and abnormal conditions

It is recommended that the instrument and preconditioning system is inspected visually on a
regular basis in order to guarantee the correct functioning of the system and to check the
integrity of the output.
• Check all the components in the analysis compartment, the outside connectors and tubings
for leaks.
• Confirm sample flow by checking the constant delivery of the sample
• Check the liquid levels in the reagent and standard solution containers
• Check if all the components in the analyzer cabinet are functioning (pumps, valves,
dispensers, photometer/electrode and stirrer). The photometer/electrode can be checked
by checking if the measurement values are normal. If not, double-check by performing a
calibration.
• Check the air pressure.
8.2 Check for alarms

Check the alarm page on the touch screen PC for alarms.
8.3 Prepare reagents and fill the reagent containers

Use reagents supplied by AppliTek or a qualified company or prepare them yourself by
following the instructions in chapter 6. Refill the reagent containers with the fresh made
reagents or use supplied reagents. Make sure that the tubings reach the bottom of the
reagent containers.
Never pour the fresh reagents in containers with old reagents!

Dispose the old reagents before pouring new reagent into its specific container.
Note:
• The consumption of the standard solutions depends on the frequency of the calibration
cycle programmed.
40
• The consumption of the cleaning solution depends on the frequency of the cleaning cycle
programmed.
8.4 Run the calibration program

Refer to chapter 7.4 if analysis results are not as expected.
Refer to chapter 7.6 to program the automatic calibration procedure.
8.5 Replace duckbills

• Open the electrical cabinet of the analyzer.
• Disconnect the micropump and remove the old duckbill valves. Keep in mind their original
position.
• Place the new duckbill valves in the same position as the previous duckbills. Be careful the
duckbills are tightened well when reconnecting the micropump.
8.6 Replacement of the peristaltic pump tubing

• Unfasten the wingnuts that fix the peristaltic pumps onto the electric motor coupler.
• Remove the pump head.
• Separate the front pump half from the back half. Hold the pump axle and the back pump
half together (1a).
• Remove the tubing. Keep in mind the length of both endings coming out of the pump head.
• Cut new tubing of the same size at the same length of the old one.
• Assemble the tube in the exact same way the old one was placed and push it down the
back pump half in front of the pump axle rollers. Then twist the pump axle a bit while you
keep pushing the tubing down so it is pressed between the pump housing and the pump
axle rollers (1b +1c).
• Join the two pump halves and make sure the tubing is not squeezed between the two
halves (1d).
• Place back the pump head and align the pump axle with the motor axle by pushing it
against the motor axle while turning the pump axle with a screwdriver.
• Fasten the wingnuts.
• Activate the pump and check if it is running properly.
41
8.7 Replace dispenser piston
• Flush the dispenser piston with DI water (to remove the reagent).
• Empty the dispenser.
• Put the dispenser in the middle position (first fill and then dose 2.5 ml).
• Remove the piston pin at the base.
• Carefully unscrew the piston from the luer lock fitting while pulling down slowly.
• Replace the old piston with a new one. Screw the piston onto the fitting while pushing
upwards slightly.
8.8 Replace dispenser valve

• Clean the dispenser with DI water (to remove the reagent).
• Fill the dispenser with air (remove the DI water).
• Power down the analyzer.
• Remove tubing and piston.
• Remove the valve by loosening the two screws on the valve.
• Install the new valve by aligning the D-coupler on the valve stem with the D-hole in the
encoder.
• Rotate the valve body so that the luer lock fitting is oriented towards the bottom of the
pump.
• Gently put the valve in place ensuring the locating pins on the frame side of the valve body
in the holes and replace the screws.
• Power up the analyzer and refill the dispenser with reagent.
• Start the analyzer and check for leaks.
42
8.9 Shutdown of the analyzer for a longer period
If the analyzer is stopped for a longer period (more than 1 day), it is recommended to rinse
the sample tubing, the reagent tubing, the dispensers and the analysis vessel with de-
mineralized water or a cleaning solution. In order to increase the lifetime of the electrodes, it
is recommended to take out the electrodes and store them with the original electrode cap. To
prevent evaporation of the electrolyte in the electrode, the electrode cap has to be filled with
electrolyte. Storage of the electrodes in de-mineralized water will significantly decrease the
lifetime of the electrodes.
9. Troubleshooting
If analysis results are unstable the following items should be checked:
a) Micropumps: make sure the reagents are dosed correctly and that no air is present in the
tubings
b) Peristaltic pumps: check if the drain, Rinse and sample pump are working correctly
c) Valves: make sure the sample/REF1/REF2/Clean valves are working correctly
d) Stirrer: check if there is a magnetic stirrer bar in the analysis vessel and if the solution is
stirred during analysis
e) Dispenser: Make sure the dispenser piston is filled with liquid and that no air is present in
the tubings
f) Check the positioning of the tubings inside the analysis vessel

• The drain tubing must be positioned at the back side of the analysis vessel and in
the ringlets.
• The dispenser tubing must be positioned in the liquid after sampling, but not in
front of the light path.
• Other tubing should be positioned above the liquid level.
g) Check the reagents. Prepare a new set of reagents when the reagent containers are
empty. Flush/Prime all tubing before performing a measurement.
