1.3. Restrictions for use

The sample must not contain any particles, which may block the
flow cell. Sufficient sample flow is coercive for the correct function
of the instrument.
If the sample contains only little disinfectant concentrations, or
there is the danger of biological growth, we recommend to use the
optional Cleaning module from Swan.

2. Product Description
Application The AMI Codes-II analyzer is a complete monitoring system for the
Range automatic, continuous measurement and dosing control of chlorine
and other disinfectants based on the DPD colorimetric method
AWWA 4500 Cl-G and on EN ISO 7393-2.
It can be used for measuring disinfectants in:
 Potable water
 Swimming pools
 Cooling water
 Effluent
 Seawater
It is also applicable for water containing additives like corrosion in-
hibitors, cyanuric acids and antiscalants.
For the determination of free chlorine, chlorine dioxide, bromine
and iodine the reagents:
 Oxycon on-line DPD
 Oxycon on-line Buffer
are needed.
The measurement of monochloramine or ozone requires an addi-
tional reagent:
 Oxycon on-line KI; which is added to Oxycon on-line Buffer

Product Description

Fluidics The sample flows through the sample inlet [F] and the filter vessel
[G] into the constant head [A]. Adjust the flow regulating valve [D]
so that always a small part of the sample flows through the overflow
tube [B] into the drain [H]. A part of the sample flows through the
photometer inlet [C] into the mixing chamber [E], where the re-
agents [J] and [K] are added by the peristaltic pump [O] and mixed
with the sample. The mixed sample flows through the photometer
[N] and disinfectant is measured. If KI and Buffer are mixed in the
reagent canister [K] monochloramine is measured.
After the measurement the sample flows through the outlet of the
photometer where it will be aerated through air inlet [P] to generate
bubbles. Then the sample flows through the bubble detector [M]
into the photometer drain [I].

Time The measuring interval can be set between 1 and 12 minutes. The
interval of a time sequence of a measurement with a measuring interval of
measurement 5 min is shown in the diagram below.
The blue bar represents the sample which flows continuously
through the photometer. A short time before the measurement
starts, a zero point measurement is performed. Then the peristaltic
pump starts and a small portion of the reagents [J] and [K] is
pumped into the mixing chamber. Shortly after, if the mixture is in
the photometer, the sample is measured.

CAUTION

Risk of damage of the relays in the AMI Transmitter due to

heavy inductive load.
Heavy inductive or directly controlled loads (solenoid valves,
dosing pumps) may destroy the relay contacts.
 To switch inductive loads > 0.1 A use an AMI relay box avail-
able as an option or suitable external power relays.

Inductive load Small inductive loads (max 0.1A) as for example the coil of a power
relay can be switched directly. To avoid noise voltage in the
AMI Transmitter it is mandatory to connect a snubber circuit in par-
allel to the load.
A snubber circuit is not necessary if an AMI relaybox is used.

Program List and Explanations

As control Signal outputs can be used for driving control units. We distinguish
output different kinds of controls:
 P-controller: The controller action is proportional to the devia-
tion from the setpoint. The controller is characterized by the
P-Band. In the steady-state, the setpoint will never be
reached. The deviation is called steady-state error.
Parameters: setpoint, P-Band
 PI-controller: The combination of a P-controller with an
I-controller will minimize the steady-state error. If the reset
time is set to zero, the I-controller is switched off.
Parameters: setpoint, P-Band, reset time.
 PD-controller: The combination of a P-controller with a
D-controller will minimize the response time to a fast change
of the process value. If the derivative time is set to zero, the
D-controller is switched off.
Parameters: setpoint, P-Band, derivative time.
 PID-controller: The combination of a P-, an I - and a D-con-
troller allows a proper control of the process.
Parameters: setpoint, P-Band, reset time, derivative time.

Program List and Explanations

5.3.2.1 Function = Limit upper/lower:

When the relays are used as upper or lower limit switches, program
the following:
5.3.2.20 Parameter: select a process value
5.3.2.300 Setpoint: If the measured value rises above respectively falls below
the set-point, the relay is activated.

Parameter Range
DIS 0–5 ppm
pH 0–14.00 pH
Temperature -30 to +120 °C
Sample flow 0–600 B/s

5.3.2.400 Hysteresis: within the hysteresis range, the relay does not switch.
This prevents damage of relay contacts when the measured value
fluctuates around the alarm value.

Parameter Range
DIS 0–5 ppm
pH 0–14.00 pH
Temperature 0 to +100 °C
Sample flow 0–200 B/s
5.3.2.50 Delay: Duration, the activation of the alarm relay is retarded after
the measuring value has risen above/fallen below the programmed
alarm.
Range. 0–600 sec
