Part III Model 6600

Should Teledyne receive no representative sample of water or oil for testing purposes, Teledyne will not be held responsible for the unsatisfactory functioning of the analyzer due to sample related nonconformities. If the end user is unable to provide samples, a spectral scan or a detailed description of the type(s) of oil(s) present is prefferred. The user is responsible for proper calibration of the unit, at commissioning stage, against the oil(s) found in the sample fluid to be analyzed. TAI assumes that the sample background is clear of strong U.V. absorbers at 254nm, i.e., no aromatic hydrocarbons other than oil and grease listed and NO Fe+3 or H2S are present. Maximum turbidity allowed is 1 NTU per 10 ppm oil range up to a maximum range of 0-50 ppm oil (20NTU/ 200ppm). When no samples are supplied, TAI will ship unit calibrated with ppm EPA#2 oil in tap water. In some cases, particularly for very high ranges, a surfactant such as glycol (non-absorbing, non-interfering) is added to the water sample which increases the miscibility for the oil to go into solution.

The automatic zero cycle is initiated by a signal from the Model 6600 microprocessor based timer circuit. The timing cycle is 1 hour. The timing cycle can be modified through the system menu, refer to chapter 3 of the control unit part of this manual. The zero cycle lasts for about 5 minutes and the sample cycle lasts about 55 minutes.

The sequential switching from sample to zero is operated by the 6600 control unit, where the zero reading of the output is automatically, hourly upgraded by the auto zero circuit.

2.5ZERO CORRECTION FOR CLEAN BACKGROUND STREAMS (REFERENCE B71441 PIPING)

1.The activation of all solenoid valves in the sample system are performed by the 6600 timer circuit.

2.Backflush solenoids (sv1, sv2) around the sample cell are used to prepare a reproducible autozero. These solenoids allow oil free air or nitrogen (N2), (80-120 psig, 5.62-8.44kg/cm2 g) supply is required to purge out the cell in reverse flow fashion. This action completely cleans the cell windows and drys them to a stable reproducible background for the autozero functioning. Because the process is very clean without impuri- ties the autozeroing primariy corrects for lamp, detector and particulate (dirt) accumulation that may occur on the cell windows.
