Electro-Chemical Devices (ECD) CA6 Hardness Analyzer - Manual (Page 32)

4.0 INSTALLATION
4.1 Unpacking and Inspecting
The CA-6 Analyzer is fully assembled and was tested for proper performance at the factory before
packaging and shipping. Before proceeding with installation of the analyzer, it is recommended that you
carefully inspect the box and analyzer for damage that may have occurred during shipping.
Use care when unpacking and moving the analyzer. Refer to the Packing List when unpacking the CA-6
Analyzer and be careful not to misplace any of the accessories.
4.2 Analyzer Handling
Use extreme care when lifting or moving the analyzer. If the analyzer has been in service, empty all
liquids from the hydraulic parts before moving the analyzer.
4.3 Location and Mounting Instructions
Install the CA-6 Analyzer in a clean, dry and dust free environment or in an enclosure with good
ventilation.
Environmental Operating conditions are:
• Temperature: 5° to 50°C (41° - 121°F)
• Relative humidity: 80% maximum
If the temperature is below 5°C (41°F), the analyzer should be installed in a heated cabinet.
Due to the possible generation of chemical or waste gases, choose a well ventilated location for the
analyzer.
The Model CA-6 analyzer is supplied with four mounting brackets for wall mounting or stainless steel
support rack installation. To Wall or Rack mount the CA6 analyzer use (4) ¼-20 screws or larger.
The Reagent bottles are supplied with the analyzer. The relative position of the reagent bottle(s) to the
reagent pump(s) is very important. The maximum distance between the bottom of the reagent bottle(s)
and the lowest edge of the analyzer panel shall be no more than 40 cm (15.75”).
4.4 Pre-Installation
Considerations for the proper Location of the CA-6 Analyzer:
• Place the analyzer close to the sample point in order to minimize the response time.
• The sample point should provide a homogenous and representative sample to the CA6.
• Plumb sample line to analyzer. If the sample line is under pressure use an adjustable shut-off
valve (needle or ball valve) to feed the Fast Flow Reservoir. If drawing from a tank or pond then
minimize the tubing length. If longer than 10 feet add time to the initial Rinse times in the
Analysis Cycle and the Extra Cycle. (+5 seconds per 10 ft section)
• Position the CA-6 Analyzer near a suitable drain, with sufficient capacity to handle the gravity
fed waste discharge and the bypass overflow from the Fast Loop Reservoir (if used).
