Electrical installation

Connect an sc controller using Quick-connect fitting

The instrument can be connected to an sc controller using the keyed
quick-connect fitting (

). Extension cables are available. Retain

the connector cap to seal the connector opening in case the instrument
must be removed. Refer to the sc controller manual for more information.

Sample line considerations

Select a good, representative sampling point for optimum instrument
performance. The sample analyzed must be representative of the
conditon of the entire system.
To minimize erratic readings:

• Draw samples from locations that are sufficiently distant from points of

chemical additions to the process stream

• Make sure samples are sufficiently mixed
• Make sure all chemical reactions are complete

Connect the sample stream

Connect sample inlet and drain lines to the fittings on the body of the
instrument (

Figure 1

on page 6). Sample inlet and drain tubing are

supplied by the customer. Refer to

Specifications

on page 3 for tubing

requirements.
Install the sample line(s) into a larger process pipe to minimize
interference from air bubbles or pipeline bottom sediment. A sample line
going into the center of a process pipe is best.
