Precautionary labels

Read all labels and tags attached to the product. Personal injury or damage to the product could

occur if not observed. A symbol on the instrument is referenced in the manual with a precautionary

statement.

This symbol, when noted on a product, indicates a potential hazard which could cause serious

personal injury and/or death. The user should reference this instruction manual for operation and/or

safety information.

This symbol, when noted on a product enclosure or barrier, indicates that a risk of electrical shock

and/or electrocution exists and indicates that only individuals qualified to work with hazardous

voltages should open the enclosure or remove the barrier.

This symbol, when noted on the product, indicates the presence of devices sensitive to electrostatic

discharge and indicates that care must be taken to prevent damage to them.

This symbol, when noted on a product, indicates the instrument is connected to alternate current.

Electrical equipment marked with this symbol may not be disposed of in European domestic or

public disposal systems. Return old or end-of-life equipment to the manufacturer for disposal at no

charge to the user.

Products marked with this symbol indicates that the product contains toxic or hazardous substances

or elements. The number inside the symbol indicates the environmental protection use period in

years.

Use of antifoam

Antifoam is injected into the sample as part of the measurement process. Once a sample has

completed the measurement process it will therefore contain a small amount of antifoam. After

measurement, ensure the sample is disposed of in a sink (or similar) to avoid any risk of ingestion.

Class 1 laser

A Class 1 laser is installed in this instrument. Class 1 lasers are products where the radiant power of

the laser beam accessible (the accessible emission) is always below the Maximum Permissible

Exposure value. Therefore, for Class 1 lasers the output power is below the level at which it is

believed eye damage will occur. Exposure to the beam of a Class 1 laser will not result in eye injury.

Class 1 lasers may therefore be considered safe. However, Class 1 laser products may contain laser

systems of a higher class but there are adequate engineering control measures to ensure that

access to the beam is not reasonably likely. This Class 1 laser product complies with 21 CFR

Chapter 1, subchapter J. It is evaluated and tested in accordance with EN 61010-1, Safety

Requirements for Electrical Equipment for Measurement and Control and Laboratory Use and

IEC/EN 60825-1, Safety of Laser Products.

Installation

W A R N I N G

This section provides necessary information to install and connect the analyzer. The installation of the analyzer

experienced in the installation of the 6110 analyzer. Disconnect the power supply of the analyzer before carrying

out any work inside the analyzer. Any work inside the analyzer should be performed exclusively by personnel

specialized and authorized to work on electrical installations. In addition, and in accordance with safety standards,

it must be possible to disconnect the power supply of the analyzer in its immediate vicinity.

W A R N I N G

Electrical danger and fire hazard. Only qualified experts may perform the tasks detailed in the installation section

of this manual, while adhering to all locally valid safety regulations.

English 5

C A U T I O N

Risk of finger trapping. A silicon insert is located on the transparent front door to assist in lifting and lowering the

door when adding or removing packages for analysis. Under no circumstances must this silicon insert be

removed.

C A U T I O N

The instrument is heavy (55 kg) so extreme care must be taken when handling, to avoid damaging the instrument

or inflicting personal injury. It is highly recommended to use a pulley system (or similar) attached to the lifting

ring located on the top of the instrument when unpacking or moving it.

N O T I C E

This is a class A product. There may be potential difficulties in ensuring electromagnetic compatibility in other

environments, due to conducted as well as radiated disturbances. In a domestic environment this product may

cause radio interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.

N O T I C E

Proper ESD (electrostatic discharge) protocols must be followed to prevent damage to the product when working

with the electronic boards.

N O T I C E

Measurement variations of approximately 10% on CO

2

values can occur in the 80 MHz to 1 GHz band. Although

this variation is unlikely to occur at customer installations, user care must be taken in the routing of the instrument

power line to avoid ambient field interference.

Positioning

C A U T I O N

The instrument is heavy (55 kg) so extreme care must be taken with handling to avoid damaging the instrument or

inflicting personal injury.

Hach Lange recommends installing the instrument on a sturdy laboratory table that can more than

support the 55kg weight. Place it on a clean flat surface, and convenient to the power source. The

display screen should be at head-height for easy viewing and operation.

Pre-installation

1. Make sure you have suitable standards available before performing any calibration.

2. Make sure you have the following available:

Purge gas for O

2

and CO

2

2

) 6 to 7 bar (87 to 102 psia), purity > 99.9%

Forcing gas for piercing device (Air or N

2

) 5.5 to 6 bar (80 to 87 psia)

Reference gas for CO

2

sensor (optional) 5.5 to 6 bar (80 to 87 psia)

Instructions for connecting these gas supplies to the instrument are described in the installation

wizard that will start automatically once power is connected to the instrument for the first time

(refer to Physical installation on page 6).

3. Make sure that the A1100 sensor recharge kit (supplied with the instrument) is available. A new

cartridge is included in the kit and must be installed on the sensor prior to first use. Instructions

for cartridge replacement are described in the installation wizard that will start automatically once

power is connected to the instrument for the first time (refer to Physical installation on page 6).

Physical installation

1. Connect the instrument to a power source (see Power supply on page 7).

2. Turn the instrument ON. An instrument auto check routine will start automatically. As this is the

first time the instrument will have been powered up, the O2 sensor residual LED will always be

6

English

red. This is normal as the system has not yet been fully commissioned and this can be ignored at

this stage.

3. The installation wizard will start automatically. The wizard will take you through the process of

connecting all the gas inputs, filling the antifoam cartridge (refer also to Antifoam cartridge

preparation on page 20), EC sensor cartridge replacement, antifoam pump maintenance and

the instrument auto-check (refer also to Instrument auto check on page 8).

Post-installation

1. The instrument has been delivered with English as the default language. However, a USB

memory stick is supplied with other available languages (German, Spanish, Chinese, and

Japanese). If you wish to keep English as the preferred language please proceed to the next step

(Step 2 below), otherwise follow these instructions for installing a new language:

• Set the instrument power to OFF.

• Insert the supplied USB memory stick into the USB port on the instrument.

• Set the instrument power to ON.

• Follow the on-screen instructions to install the preferred language.

• Remove the USB memory stick and restart the instrument.

2. Set the security levels, user ID’s and passwords as described in Security and user management

on page 13.

3. Configure the instrument parameters as described in Configuration on page 9.

4. Perform a barometric sensor calibration as described in Barometric pressure sensor

on page 16.

5. Perform an O

2

sensor calibration as described in Oxygen sensor on page 17. Wait until the

residual value of the sensor is low enough (controlled automatically by the instrument). This

operation may take around 1-2 hours depending on storage conditions.

Note: The other sensors are more stable and will not require calibration prior to use.

Power supply

W A R N I N G

A power cable can be ordered with the instrument and this cable must be used to connect the instrument to the

power supply. If no power cable was ordered, please contact your Hach Lange representative for cable

specifications. Inadequately dimensioned power cables must not be used.

C A U T I O N

User interface

Switching ON and OFF

The instrument has a power switch located at the rear of the left side of the base. The LED on the

instrument measurement start button is illuminated when the instrument is powered ON.

Note: It is recommended to keep the instrument powered ON at all times, unless the instrument is to be moved to

another location, if it will not be used for a long period of time, or if maintenance procedures need to be carried out

inside the instrument.

Instrument auto check

When the instrument is powered ON it goes through a number of

startup procedures to check all components are installed and

functioning correctly.

The right side of the screen lists each of the instrument

components that are being checked and a colored indicator to the

left of each component shows the current status:

• Green - the component is installed and working correctly

• Yellow - the component is in the process of being checked

• Red - there is a problem with that particular component

• Blue - the component has not yet been checked

If any errors occur on startup that mean that the instrument

cannot function correctly, a warning screen will be displayed

indicating the next course of action.

Note: Once the instrument is switched on you will need to wait until the oxygen sensor residual value reaches the

threshold of 0.1 mbar. This operation can take as much as two hours depending on the instrument and sensor

conditions prior to startup.

Touch screen

The front panel is a TFT VGA (640x480 pixels) color display and touch screen.

Note: The above is the actual sequence that must be followed for any calibration (i.e. if you calibrate the CO

2

sensor, then the barometric sensor, pressure sensor and temperature sensor must be calibrated first and in that

order).

After selecting a sensor to calibrate, the details of the last calibration are displayed. This shows the

values recorded, and information about who performed the last calibration and when. The due date

of the next calibration is also shown. A report is created on completion of any new calibration. The

last 10 reports can be viewed by selecting the Calibration reports option in the calibration screen.

button to accept the calibration, store the new values, and write the details to the calibration

report file. If the calibration cannot be performed, an error message will be displayed giving the

reason.

Measurement process

Main screen

The initial screen displays standard information about the package to measure. You have the

possibility to change the user and the package type to be measured.

Start analysis

Note: Once a sample has completed the measurement process it will contain a small amount of antifoam.

Therefore, after measurement, ensure the sample is disposed of in a sink (or similar) to avoid any risk of ingestion.

For optimal operation, the base of the package holder should always have a layer of water for

improved transfer of the ultrasound energy to the liquid in the package. For the correct amount of

water, tilt the package holder forward by turning the tilt knob to position 3 (small can icon). Next, fill

the holder with water until the water level reaches the top without spilling over. Finally, put the holder

back to the correct tilt position for the package to be measured in readiness for the measurement

process.

Select the Start Analysis option to start the measurement process. The instrument will display

information regarding the measurement step being taken, instructions on any user involvement

required, and the measurement progress throughout the duration of the measurement process.

The first screen gives details of the package being analyzed and gives the user information on what

action to take. As instructed, raise the transparent front door in order to place the package in the

English

17

measuring chamber. As soon as the door is raised, the initialization screen is displayed with the next

set of instructions.

Place the package to be analyzed on the circular platform, and set the tilt position as defined for this

package by turning the black knob on the front. Two red laser beams are activated as the front door

is raised. Where the two red beams intersect is where the package will be pierced.

For bottles, position the package so that the two red beams intersect in the centre

of the bottle top (illustrated above left).

For cans, position the package so that the two red beams intersect at position 1

(illustrated above right). This is the recommended piercing position. Alternatively,

position the package so that the two red beams intersect at position 2. If piercing at

position 2, turn the ring pull 90° left or right, in order to clear the piercing position.

Do not pierce the can with the ring pull in the position illustrated.

Make sure that the package is also hard up against the backstop. This may require realigning the

backstop by turning the locking wheel counter clockwise and adjusting its position to that defined for

this package. Lock it in place by turning the locking wheel clockwise finger tight.

Once the package is secure against the backstop and the piercing position aligned with the two red

laser beams, close the front door.

Start the measurement process by pressing the illuminated START button on the front right side of

the instrument base. A progress bar is displayed at the bottom of the screen showing the elapsed

time to date, and the estimated time for measurement completion. This bar is updated on an on-

going basis. No user intervention or action is required until the measurement process has completed.

However, you do have the option to Abort the process at any point.

Once complete, the measurement results are displayed. The three columns of data displayed are

those that have been defined in Measurement output on page 12 and are color coded (green

signifies the measurements are within the defined limits for this package, and red signifies outside

the defined limits).

It is possible to add 2 numerical values and 5 comments to these results by entering them in the text

boxes displayed down the left. The numerical values will be required if they have been defined as

part of a formula (see Formula management on page 12).

Press the Continue button to return to the main measurement screen, or press the Info button to

display more detailed results in a tabular format.

This option gives an on-screen visual guide through a number of standard maintenance procedures

to perform on the instrument.

Installation

The installation wizard will be invoked automatically the first time the instrument is switched on to help you

complete the installation of the instrument.

Once the instrument has been successfully installed, the Skip installation wizard on device startup checkbox

should be checked to ensure a normal startup from there onwards.

Maintenance

It is recommended to use the maintenance wizards for maintenance of the instrument. Simply follow the on-

screen instructions available for each of the options.

Antifoam tank filling When refilling the cartridge, follow the instructions given in Antifoam cartridge

preparation on page 20.

To ensure the performance and reliability of the instrument, it is strongly

recommended to only use the silicone antifoam supplied by Hach Lange (part

number 33156).

EC sensor maintenance Chemical reactions within the gas sensor requires that the oxygen sensor be

serviced regularly to restore its original sensitivity. A clear sign that a sensor

maintenance is required is when measurements are noticeably less stable than

usual.

For EC sensor maintenance, please also refer to the instruction sheet entitled

A1100 cleaning procedure for 6110 TPA which is supplied with the instrument.

Goretex filter replacement It is recommended to replace this filter every week.

Piercing tip replacement It is recommended to replace these about every six months.

Note: When replacing the tip, use the mounting tool supplied with the installation kit and apply

some Loctite

®

243 sealant (or similar) on the screw thread of the tip before mounting.

Antifoam pump maintenance Refill or replace the antifoam cartridge as required.

Antifoam cartridge preparation

To optimize the performance and reliability of the instrument, it is strongly recommended to only use

the silicone antifoam supplied by Hach Lange (part number 33156). To fill the cartridge, refer to the

steps that follow and Figure 1.

1. Lower the piercing assembly (refer to Manual displacement on page 22) for easier access to

the antifoam cartridge connector. Raise the transparent front door.

2. Push the refill bottle onto the antifoam cartridge connector until the bottle clicks into place.

3. Squeeze the refill bottle to force as much antifoam as possible out of the bottle and into the

antifoam cartridge.

4. Maintain pressure on the bottle to avoid any antifoam being sucked back into the bottle. Press on

the lock on the top of the bottle to release it from the antifoam cartridge, and pull the bottle down

to remove it.
