Table 2 Analyzer data (continued)

Element

Definition

AIR PRESS

Reagent air pressure in the reagent bottles (ideally
3.95 to 4.10 psi)

LED DUTY CYCLE

Depends on condition of colorimeter cell and age of
analyzer (typically 7,200 to 40,000 counts)

HEATER DUTY
CYCLE

Percentage of time the colorimeter heater is on to
maintain a constant 50 °C (122 °F)

SAMPLE FLOW

Approximate sample flow into the colorimeter,
measured during the flush cycle

SAMPLE PRESS 1

Sample pressure before the pre-heater block (ideally
2 to 4.5 psi depending on incoming sample pressure)

SAMPLE PRESS 2

Differential pressure measured across the sample pre-
heater during a colorimeter cell flush. Slightly less than
SAMPLE PRESS1 during the flush cycle and zero
when the flush is off.

REAGENT 1

Level of reagent remaining

REAGENT 2

Level of reagent remaining

REAGENT 3

Level of reagent remaining

STANDARD 1

Level of standard solution remaining

STANDARD 2

Level of standard solution remaining

FAN SPEED

The speed of the ventilation fan.

LEAK COUNTS

Indication of possible fluid leaks (range 0 to 1023). A
count of over 511 indicates a fluid leak

Table 3 Measurement data

Element

Definition

LAST MEAS CHANNEL Last channel measured.

LAST MEAS TIME

Time of last measurement.

LAST ABS

Last absorbance reading.

Table 3 Measurement data (continued)

Element

Definition

LAST CONC

Concentration of last measurement.

NEXT MEAS TIME

Time the next measurement will be taken.

DARK

Number of A/D counts measured when the LED is
turned off.

REF

Reference A/D count used to compensate for natural
color and turbidity.

SAMPLE

A/D counts measurement (after color development)
used to determine the concentration of the sample.

DARK STD DEV

Standard deviation of dark counts out of 6 readings.

REF STD DEV

Standard deviation of reference counts out of
6 readings.

SAMPLE STD DEV

Standard deviation of sample counts out of 6 readings.

SAMPLE VOLUME

Total sample flush volume through the colorimeter for
the measurement cycle.

REAGENT 1

Calculated reagent delivery time to the sample based
on temperature, pressure and viscosity.

REAGENT 2

Calculated reagent delivery time to the sample based
on temperature, pressure and viscosity.

REAGENT 3

Calculated reagent delivery time to the sample based
on temperature, pressure and viscosity.
