Introduction
1.1 How to Use the Manuals

This instrument requires two manuals for complete operating instructions; the APA 6000 Installation and Maintenance Manual and a parameter-specific operation manual. This APA 6000 Installation and Maintenance Manual (Cat. No. 62005-18) provides instructions for instrument installation, menu setup, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting. The parameter-specific manual contains information related to parameter specific instrument components and software functions. Descriptions of reagents and standards and their consumption rates, method of analysis, operational sequence, and bench comparison testing are all addressed in the parameter-specific manual.
1.2 How the Analyzer Works

The APA 6000 Process Analyzer is a microprocessor-controlled process analyzer designed to continuously monitor a specific substance in a sample stream (see Figure 1). The analyzer consists of five basic components: Figure 1 Module Components AquaTrend Interface Autoburette Module Detector Module and Holding Coil Valve Module Mixer Module
6200518 Introduction.fm
Page 7 Introduction
Section 1
1.2.1 Components
The AquaTrend Interface The APA 6000 Process Analyzer has an AquaTrend Interface built into the instrument door. It provides a numerical or graphical display and a keypad for user input. The AquaTrend Interface displays, graphs, and logs sensor readings, and is used for operator control and sensor setup. Autoburette Module The analyzer uses a positive-displacement autoburette to measure fluids through the various analytical components in the instrument. The autoburette module consists of a clear acrylic block which houses a ceramic piston, a double seal for the piston, a linear actuator, a two-way solenoid valve, and control circuitry. Detector Module Samples are measured in a temperature controlled flow cell detector. All detector modules contain a holding coil. The holding coil acts as a storage area for fluids as they are drawn into the instrument before being directed to the appropriate module for mixing or sensor readings. The detector module for some instruments also contains a reaction coil. The reaction coil optimizes the dispersion utilized in some analysis methods. Valve Module The valve module directs fluids to various components in the instrument. Mixer Module The mixer module mixes reagents with the sample or standards. The mixing action also removes excess air from the sample.
1.2.2 Flow Through the Instrument

The following is a simplified version of how fluids are cycled through the analyzer: 1. In a normal measuring cycle, the instrument uses the autoburette module to draw sample in through the sample conditioning block into the holding coil. 2. The pump then draws reagent(s) into the holding coil. 3. Next, the pump moves the reagent(s) and sample from the holding coil into the mixing module with the sample. 4. When the sample and reagent are adequately mixed, the instrument draws the mixture into the holding coil. 5. The next pump actuation moves the mixture from the holding coil into the reaction coil (not used in all chemistries). As the mixture flows past the reaction coil and through the detector, a measurement is taken and the fluid continues to flow into the drain. The cycle then starts over again at Step 1.

Installation
2.1 Selecting a Location for the APA 6000 Analyzer

Locate the analyzer as close to the sampling point as possible. Shorter distances between the process stream and the analyzer mean faster analyzer response to changes in analyte concentration. Long sample lines are also more vulnerable to sediment accumulation. Do not place the sampling point near a point of chemical addition. The process stream at that location may be inadequately mixed, yielding erroneous readings. The instrument enclosure is designed for general-duty, indoor installation. Do not mount the analyzer in direct sunlight. Ambient temperatures may range from 550 C (41122 F), but best performance will result if ambient temperature is between 5 and 35 C (41 and 95 F). Use Figure 2 to determine the space needed to install the instrument. To control the analyzer from a location other than the instrument location, connect a remote AquaTrend Interface. It can be mounted on a bench, pole, or panel as far away as 400 m (1320 feet). Figure 2 Overall Dimensions of the APA 6000 Analyzer
2.2 Mounting
An installation kit (Cat. No. 51040-00) is supplied with the instrument. The kit includes: Grab sample kit (Cat. No. 62037-00) Four 0.5 micron filters (Cat. No. 62011-00) 20 ft. of -in. poly tubing (Cat. No. 47438-00)

Section 2
2.2.1 Bench Mount
Important Note: The analyzer must be bolted to the bench.
Secure the rear of the instrument to the bench or table with two -20 UNC screws through the holes in the metal frame on the back of the instrument (see Figure 3). This will prevent the instrument from tipping while the module panel is open.
2.2.2 Wall Mount

The back plate of the instrument has four key-shaped holes for wall mounting. The analyzer can be mounted directly to a wall or to rails capable of holding 157.5 kg (350 lb.). Leave at least 4656 cm (1822 in.) of space above the top of the bolt pattern (see Figure 3) to allow access to the reagent enclosures. 1. Make sure no power is supplied to the analyzer. 2. Install the top two 3/8-16 UNC hex bolts into the wall or fixture according to the dimensions in Figure 3, leaving a -inch gap under each bolt head. 3. Slide the bracket keyholes onto the bolts and lower the frame so the bolts settle in the narrow part of the keyholes. 4. Install two bolts through the lower holes in the frame, into the wall or fixture. 5. Tighten all four bolts securely. Figure 3 Mounting Dimensions

2.3 Electrical Connections
DANGER All electrical connections should be made by a qualified technician to assure compliance to all applicable electrical codes. DANGER Tous les branchements lectriques doivent tre effectus par un technicien qualifi pour assurer la conformit toutes les normes lectriques applicables. PERIGO Todas las conexiones elctricas deben ser ubstaladas por personal tcbico cualificado a fin de asegurar su conformidad con las normas elctricas vigentes. GEFAHR Alle elektischen Anschlsse mssen van qualifizierten Techniekem durchgefhrt werden, damit die bereinstimmung mit allen elektrischen Anschlussdaten gewrhrleistet ist. PERICOLO Tutte le connessioni elettriche devono essere fatte da un tecnico qualificato.
To access electrical connections in the APA 6000 instrument, remove the two hold-down fasteners in the upper corners of the module panel. Slowly pull the panel forward until it is fully supported by the steel restraining cable (see Figure 4 and Figure 5). Four access holes for electrical connections are provided along the back of the instrument enclosure (see Figure 6). Remove the cover seals by loosening the wing nuts from inside the instrument. This product is designed to meet NEMA 4X (INDOOR) and IEC 529 IP 66 enclosure requirement when the front door is securely latched. Achieving these protection levels, however, depends on the use of proper hardware in the installation of this product. Standard off-the-shelf NEMA-approved conduit hardware is required for proper installation of all electrical connections. For process or industrial applications, the national electrical codes of most countries require that ac service feeds be hard-wired and contained in conduit systems. The APA 6000 Analyzer has been designed to conform to this requirement. Hach recommends conduit for two reasons: 1. It is generally required by most local electrical codes, and 2. use of metal conduit can improve immunity to lightning surges and ac power transients. In hard-wired electrical applications, the power and safety ground service drops for the analyzer should be no longer than 6 meters (20 feet) unless metal conduit is used to shield the ac power wiring. In applications where power cords are allowed by local electrical codes and power surges and transients are not a great concern, an 18-gauge, 3-conductor power cord (including a safety ground wire) can be used, but its length must not exceed 3 meters (10 feet). The power cord or power cable is not supplied with the APA 6000 Analyzer and must be selected to meet applicable electrical codes for the installation site.
Page 15 Electrical Connections
Section 2
Hach recommends that care be taken with hook-up configurations other than shown in these illustrations. First, be sure your configuration satisfies local electrical codes and second, ensure that your configuration does not cause susceptibility to lightning, power surges, or transients upsets.
2.3.1
Power Connections at the Analyzer

If power cords are allowed by local electrical code, a 125 V UL/CSA-approved power cord with an approved NEMA-style strain relief and a standard 115 V North American-style plug (Hach Cat. No. 46306-00) or a 230 V VDE-approved power cord with an approved NEMA-style strain relief and a Continental European-style plug (Hach Cat. No. 46308-00) can be ordered. The APA 6000 Analyzer operates on any ac line voltage from 95240 V ac, 50 or 60 Hz. A 12- to 18-gauge power lead supply wire (power cord), with insulation rated at 300 V (600 V peak), is required. The analyzer is designed for hard-wire connection to ensure conformation to local electrical codes.
Note: Be sure the analyzer power switch is turned off. Dry operation may damage the analyzer.
Route the power leads through the access hole on the back of the enclosure. Line voltage connections are wired directly to the terminal strip J10 (see Figure 6 and Figure 7). Make the ground connection to the adjacent ground stud using an appropriate closed loop connector (see Table 1). Table 1 Wiring Color Codes

2.3.2 Alarm Relay Connections
DANGER La zone de raccordement des relais est conue pour des connexions soit tout en basse tension (<30 V) soit tout en haute tension (>30 V). Un risque dlectrocution existe si des connexions basse et haute tension sont faites dans la zone de raccordement des relais. PELIGRO El rea de conexin de los rels esta diseada para conexiones que sean todas de baja tensin (inferior a 30V o bien todas de alta tensin (superior a 30V). Existe riesgo de descargas si se combinan conexiones de alto y bajo voltaje en el rea de conexin de los rels. GEFAHR Die Ralaisanschlsse sind entweder fr Niederspannung (< 30V) oder fr Hochspannung (>30 V) vorgesehen. Wenn sowohl Nieder-als auch Hochspannung an die Relais angeschlossen wird, kann es zu einem Stromschlag kommen. PERICOLO La zona riservata ai contatti di allarme disegnata per bassi voltaggi (<30 V) e alti voltaggi (> 30V). Assolutamente non confondersi nell'utilizzo dei bassi e degli alti voltaggi. Note: Limit current to the relay contacts to 5 amps. This can be accomplished with an external switch and a 5-amp fuse or with a switched 5-amp circuit breaker. You must be able to remove power from the relays locally in case of an emergency or for servicing of the product.
DANGER The relay connection area is designed for either all low voltage (<30 V) or all high voltage (>30 V) connections. A shock hazard exists if low and high voltage connections occur simultaneously in the relay connection area.
The analyzer contains two alarm relays designed for use with either high voltage (greater than 30 V-RMS and 42.2 V-PEAK or 60 V dc) or low voltage (less than 30 V-RMS and 42.2 V-PEAK, or less than 60 V dc), but not a combination of both high and low voltage. Wire alarm relays to the connectors labeled Alarm A or Alarm B on the back electrical panel (see Figure 8). For terminal strip and strain relief locations see Figure 6. SPDT relay contacts are unpowered and rated to carry up to 5 amperes at 240 V ac with a resistive load. If high-current or inductive-load devices are to be controlled by analyzer alarms, use a heavy-duty slave relay actuated by the alarm relay. Both normally open and normally closed contacts are available. The connector will accept 22- to 12-gauge wire, insulated as appropriate for the voltage. Size the wires according to the load and local electrical code regulations. If more relays are desired, supplement your system with the AquaTrend Signal Output Module (SOM) (Cat. No. 51250-00). Each SOM provides two additional relays.

PERICOLO La strumentazione deve essere installata da personale qualificato, sia per le connessioni elettriche sia per quelle idrauliche.
2.4.1 Sample Line Installation

Selecting a good, representative sampling point is important for optimum performance from the analyzer. The sample analyzed by the analyzer must be representative of the condition of the entire system. If a sample is drawn from a location too close to points of chemical additions to the process stream, inadequate mixing or an incomplete reaction can result in erratic readings from the analyzer.
Note: Plumbing connections should be made only by qualified personnel to assure conformance to all applicable plumbing codes.
Run sample lines with small diameter tubing to the analyzer to minimize lag time (the time required for sample to flow from sample point to the analyzer). Route the tubing as directly as possible between the sampling point and the analyzer. Long sample lines and low flow rates result in significant lag time between actual process line conditions and the sampling point of the instrument. Install sample line taps into larger process pipes to minimize the chances of ingesting sediment from the pipe line bottom or air bubbles from the top. A tap projecting into the center of the pipe is ideal (see Figure 10).

Section 2
New tubing, valves and other sample conditioning equipment may be contaminated with substances (oils, dust, etc.) which may contribute to low or high readings on initial startup. Flush the sample line with sample for 12 hours before calibration. For faster cleaning, plumb the sample line to a container of 14 liters of a dilute caustic solution such as 1 N (5%) sodium hydroxide solution and cycle it through to clean sample system components. When the solution is depleted, connect the sample line to the sample source and run the analyzer for an hour to purge the sodium hydroxide solution.
2.4.1.1 Sample Conditioning

The analyzer is equipped with a sample conditioning block that includes a 0.5 m filter. The unit is located on the left side of the instrument. See Figure 11. Use -in OD poly tubing from the sample source to the sample conditioning block. The tubing connects to the block through the lower push-in fitting. From the upper push-in fitting of the sample conditioning block, excess sample flows to drain. A vent assembly is required to avoid excess vacuum at the sample conditioning block. The vent should be located above the sample conditioning block. For wastewater applications or other samples containing high solids, an APA 6000 Micro Filter System is recommended (Cat. No. 51339-00, 115 V model or Cat No. 51339-01, 230 V model). A 40-mesh y-strainer (Cat. No. 46618-00) can be used to remove large solids alone or with the Micro Filter System. When testing highly aerated samples, the manufacturer recommends installing a Process Sample Heater such as Cat. No. 48685-00, prior to the sample conditioning unit. Warming the samples removes some of the excess air and stabilizes the analyzer readings.
Important Note: Sample conditioning requires regular maintenance for proper operation. Important Note: If the sample conditioning system supplied with the instrument is removed, it must be replaced with an alternative filtration system of 0.5 m or smaller. Failure to provide the required filtration will void the instrument warranty.

2.4.2 Drain Line Connection

Note: It is imperative to mount the drain point below the instrument drain block. Failure to do so may result in improper functioning of the instrument or back flow of waste into the instrument cabinet.
The analyzer is connected to a drain system through a -inch hose barb fitting on a drain block on the right side of the analyzer case (see Figure 12). After analysis, the waste exits the instrument through the manifold at the bottom of the instrument and into the drain block. This block connects to a -inch ID hose and provides a vented vacuum break at this point. A vent is located on the top of the drain block. Also see section 2.4.2.1. Route instrument waste through a -in. ID hose to a PVC pipe assembly, which must be located one foot below the level of the instrument drain block. The catastrophic drain is located in the middle of the tubing manifold and is sized to accommodate a 1-in. ID hose. This drain is used if an upset inside the instrument results in a significant leak. The supplied hose from this drain port must be connected and run to a drain which is one foot below the bottom of the instrument. The reagent enclosures each have an overflow fitting in the bottom of the case. Plumb these to the drain by punching out the knock-out in the fitting, attaching a 3/8-inch ID hose to each fitting and running it to a drain which is one foot lower in elevation than the bottom of the instrument.

2.4.2.1 Waste Disposal

The effluent from the APA analyzer is non-hazardous per federal RCRA regulations and may be safely discharged to a sanitary sewer based solely on federal rules. Other state and local regulations or permitting requirements may apply and it is the responsibility of the end-user to know and apply state or local requirements to their specific applications. Hach Company does not advocate the pouring, dumping, or discharging of any chemicals, hazardous or nonhazardous, to the ground or to septic systems.
2.5 Air Purge

Air purge may be necessary if the analyzer is located in an environment with high humidity and/or caustic vapors. The goal is to maintain a slight positive pressure in the instrument with dry instrument air. The air purge connection is located in the middle of the back of the instrument. To connect an air supply, remove the plug in the quick connect fitting. Connect in. poly tubing by pushing the tubing into the fitting. You should feel two distinct stops as you push. If the tubing is not seated, it will pop out when air pressure is applied. Use only dry instrument air at 15 scfh (7 L/min.)

3.1 Introduction
Startup
It is assumed that the analyzer has already been plumbed to the sample source and a drain, as well as wired to a power source and any other electrical wiring associated with 420 mA connections, relay connections, and network connections by the installation technician as outlined in Section 2. This section presents the steps, in sequence, an operator should take to begin operation. This section will: describe how to prepare the sample conditioning describe the steps to install the reagents and standards list the steps required to prime the sample lines and reagents.
3.2 Preparing Sample Conditioning and Starting Sample Flow

The analyzer is supplied with a 0.5 m ceramic filter (already installed in the sample conditioning block) and four replacement filters. 1. Set the sample flow rate through the sample conditioning block in the following range: 10002000 mL/min. 2. Check the flow at the air break of the drain (where the tubing from the sample inlet block meets the drain tee). If desired, measure the flow rate by directing the sample into a large measuring container (flask or cylinder) over a set amount of time. Keep the end of the tube at the same height as the push-in fitting. 3. Ensure that the filter is tightly threaded into the sample conditioning block to prevent unfiltered sample from entering the analyzer.
3.3
Installing Reagents and Standards

The solution bottles are labeled (i.e., Reagent 1, Standard 1, Cleaning Solution). The tubing into each of these bottles is also labeled with the solution name to prevent reagent line mix-ups. Some analyzer solutions require special accessories and handling. Please see the parameter specific manual for more information. To change solutions, follow these instructions: 1. Use a permanent marker to put a mark on the tubing where it exits the bottle. 2. Remove the bottle vent cap assembly and tubing from the top of the existing solution bottle. 3. Rinse the straw surrounding the tubing with deionized water and shake off any residual water before inserting it into the new solution. This avoids possible contamination. Be sure the tubing extends to the bottom of the straw. If not, adjust it and re-mark the tubing. 4. Insert the straw into the new bottle and screw the vent cap on. Be sure the mark on the tubing is still located where the tubing exits the bottle. This ensures the inner tube has remained at the bottom of the bottle.

Section 3
5. Place the new bottle in the reagent compartment. Hach recommends changing all the solutions at the same time and does not recommend adding fresh reagent to fill a partially full bottle.
3.3.1 Supplying Power

After all appropriate reagents and standards are installed and sample conditioning is prepared, the APA 6000 is ready to start up. Turn on the analyzer by setting the power switch to ON (I). The power switch is located at the center top of the bulkhead that contains the instrument modules (see Figure 13). Close the main door of the analyzer and fasten the latches. The main door should remain closed during operation to maintain correct temperature. Figure 13 Location of the Instrument Power Switch

3.3.2 Priming the Analyzer
Note: Do not allow the instrument to run before installing reagents and standards and providing sample.
After internal checks, the analyzer will begin operation. It is important to prime the analyzer because operating without fluid may damage components. Priming the analyzer ensures that the standards and/or reagents fill the tubing going to the valve module. To prime the analyzer, complete the following steps: 1. Press the MENU key to start from the MAIN MENU. 2. Select SENSOR MENU and press ENTER. 3. Select the sensor by name (default is #1 APA6000) and press ENTER. 4. Select SOLUTIONS & CLEANING and press ENTER. 5. Select PRIMING and press ENTER. 6. Select PRIME ENTIRE SYSTEM NOW. This will prime all the lines from the solution bottles and sample lines. The system prime will take approximately 715 minutes. The analyzer will display various messages about the progress of the cycle. 7. A pop-up window will indicate that priming will begin after the current operation cycle. When priming starts, a pop-up window will indicate the time remaining to complete the prime cycle. 8. When priming is complete, the analyzer will automatically begin measuring sample. The analyzer will require 36 hours for readings to stabilize. During this time, the analyzer will establish temperature control. After readings stabilize, a calibration is required to obtain accurate values. See section 4.2.3.1 on page 44.

4.1 The AquaTrend Interface

The AquaTrend Interface integrated into the door of the APA 6000 Analyzer provides the interface necessary to communicate with the analyzer (sensor) and the Hach network, if present. The interface provides a numerical or graphical display and a keypad for user input. A remote AquaTrend can be connected for access to the analyzer from another location. The AquaTrend interface can be used with a number of Hach sensors and therefore, not all of the functions available are used when interfacing with the APA 6000. Functions that are not appropriate for the APA 6000 will not be explained fully in the following text. Data can be viewed in numeric or graphical format and reviewed on trend graphs for details of measurement history. With the addition of the Hach Serial I/O Module (see Replacement Parts and Accessories on page 94), data can be downloaded to a computer or printer.

4.2.3 Sensor Menu

4.2.3.1 Calibration
Calibration prepares the APA analyzer to calculate concentrations in unknown samples based on a calibration generated using two known standards. These two standards are the high and low standard solutions. For immediate trend analysis, an electronic factory default calibration is already established and allows the analyzer to provide approximate measurements.The once-a-day (at 4:00 a.m.)* auto-calibration interval may be changed to every 12 hours, a specific day of the week, or may be turned off. It can also be calibrated on demand as necessary.
* APA6000 Alkalinity and HR Hardness instruments defaults are each Monday at 4:00 a.m. APA6000 HR Hardness instrument default is each Monday at 4:00 a.m. Page 44 Menu Functions
Section 4
Reducing the frequency of the auto-calibration will reduce standard usage, but it may also reduce measurement accuracy. Hach recommends that the analyzer be calibrated when any reagent or standard is changed or as often as necessary to achieve acceptable results. Calibration should only be performed after the analyzer has been turned on for more than five hours. This allows the temperature inside the analyzer to stabilize.
Setting Up the Auto-Calibration Schedule

The analyzer accuracy specifications are based on the factory-set default interval. The APA 6000 Analyzer can calibrate at any time. To change the calibration time, use the auto-cal setup procedure: 1. Press the MENU key to start from the Main Menu. 2. Select Sensor Menu and press ENTER. 3. Select the sensor by name and press ENTER. 4. Select Calibration and press ENTER. 5. Select Auto-Cal Setup and press ENTER. 6. The analyzer calibration is a factory set default interval. In order to change the settings, select one of the following: Select AUTO-CAL to turn the automatic calibration option off, or to set the day or hourly interval you want the instrument to calibrate.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting
5.1.1 Shutting the Analyzer Down (Off or Standby)

Before changing solutions or inspecting/replacing parts, place the analyzer in standby then turn the instrument off. To turn the instrument off, open the front door and locate the on/off switch near the top of the analyzer. Move the switch to the off position. Placing the instrument in standby leaves the analyzer in a known condition so restarting begins at a consistent place. If the analyzer will be shut down for several days, it is best to run a clean cycle just before shutdown to fill all the wetted parts with cleaning solution and help prevent fouling/biogrowth in the system. See section 5.1.2.1 on page 60 for cleaning instructions. To place the analyzer in standby or re-start it:
Note: Putting the analyzer into Standby Mode terminates all operations. When the analyzer is restarted, it will automatically start performing measurements.
1. Press the MENU key. 2. Select Sensor Menu, then press ENTER. 3. In the Select Sensor Menu, select the sensor name and press ENTER. 4. Select Sensor Status and press ENTER. A pop-up window will appear. Use the arrow keys to select Standby or Restart. Press ENTER If the analyzer will be shut down for an extended period of time, all reagents, standards, and samples should be flushed out of the system. This is accomplished by supplying deionized water in place of all reagents, standards, and samples and performing a Prime Entire System function.
5.1.2 Scheduled Maintenance

The following tables specify requirements for one, three, and six month maintenance. If any of the items are in need of repair at the time of the scheduled maintenance check, follow the direction under the Maintenance Required column.
Important Note: Failure to perform monthly maintenance on the autoburette module will void the warranty.

5.1.2.1 Cleaning the Instrument

To clean the outside of the instrument, wipe with a damp cloth as needed. Be sure to clean up all reagent spills as soon as possible with a dry cloth, followed by a damp cloth. To clean the wetted parts of the analyzer, the system default is set to run a normal clean cycle every day. However, this option can also be used in other circumstances. During operation air bubbles may develop inside the autoburette, tubing, or the colorimeter. This is especially true of new instruments where system components are not thoroughly wetted. In addition, clean samples may require more cleaning cycles because clean water does not contain enough surfactants to keep the system thoroughly wetted. To clear bubbles from the system, use the Clean function. If bubbles persist in a new analyzer, use the Cleaning Solution (Cat. No. 26974-53) as described in section 4.2.3.7 on page 52. The cleaning option dispenses the cleaning solution through all the wetted parts in the analyzer. The cleaning operation has several functions: It is used to prime the system (cleaning solution is pulled directly into the autoburette). It is used routinely to ensure the wetted parts stay free of contaminant buildup. It is used to aid in the removal of air bubbles retained in the system.
5.1.2.2 Sample Conditioning

All samples are conditioned using the sample conditioning filter. Sample conditioning eliminates particles greater than 0.5 m. Regular maintenance of the sample conditioning unit is required for proper operation. For samples that tend to clog the analyzer filter or tubing, the following sample conditioning options are available: Increase the filter replacement frequency. Increase the flow to the sample conditioning block. This will improve the self-cleaning of the filter.
Page 60 Maintenance
Section 5
Filtered sample is aspirated through the filter as needed. The instrument is not affected by how fast the sample is flowing through the block as long as the flow is between 1000 and 2000 mL per minute. If the filter becomes plugged, replace it with one of the spare filters supplied with the unit (Cat. No. 62011-00). To remove the filter from the sample conditioning block: 1. Turn off the sample flow and place the analyzer in standby mode.
Note: Sample will drain from the block when the filter holder is removed. Be prepared to dispose of this appropriately.
2. Remove the filter holder from the block by unscrewing the large knurled nut on the bottom of the block (see Figure 18). 3. Remove the quad-ring at the top of the filter assembly (see Figure 19). 4. Slide the filter off the top of the assembly. 5. Install a new filter. 6. After the new filter is in place, replace the quad-ring and screw the filter assembly into the sample conditioning block. 7. Turn sample flow on and restart the analyzer.
Note: The manufacturer does not recommend cleaning and reusing clogged filters.
Depending on your sample, the filter may quickly become plugged. The APA 6000 Micro Filter System (Cat. No. 51339-00, 115 V or Cat. No. 51339-01, 230 V) may be purchased to provide longer periods of operation between maintenance intervals. Figure 18 Removing the Sample Conditioning Block

Tubing replacement will be required if a tube becomes crimped or kinked and is interfering with fluid flow or the tubing becomes fouled due to sample conditioning upset (or improper sample conditioning).
Replacing a single tube:

1. Isolate the tube to be replaced from the others it is grouped with (see the Plumbing Diagram in the parameter-specific manual). If it is an external tube (to reagent containers, sample inlet, or drain) remove the tubing cover from the back, underside of the instrument case. 2. Remove the fittings on either end of the tube from their ports. Note whether it is a -28 flat bottom fitting or a 10-32 rotary valve fitting. 3. Remove the fittings from the ends of the tubing and discard. 4. Prepare a section of tubing the appropriate length, according to Tubing Replacement Length Table in the parameter-specific manual.
Important Note: Tube length is critical to proper instrument function. Replacement tubing must be cut to the length specified.
5. If the tube is an external tube, slide the rubber grommet onto the tubing and insert into the appropriate position in the manifold on the inside bottom of the instrument case. 6. Route the tubing to its appropriate place on the outside and inside of the instrument (refer to Plumbing Diagram in the parameter-specific manual). 7. Install the fitting onto the tubing, as shown in Figure 21 or Figure 22. 8. Tighten fittings in the ports.
Warning: DO NOT over-tighten the fittings. Fittings should be firmly finger tightened. Loose fittings will result in air or liquid leaks and poor analyzer performance. In some case, a tool may be required to sufficiently tighten a fitting.

Refer to Figure 23 and these instructions: 1. Place the instrument in standby, then turn it off (see section 5.1.1 on page 59). 2. Shut off the sample flow. 3. Break the siphon to the reagent bottles and standard bottles as follows: Disconnect the reagent line from the reagent vent cap insert. Lift the reagent line so the bottom of the reagent line is above the liquid level in each reagent/standard bottle. Re-collar the reagent line in the vent cap insert to prevent it from moving around.
Note: Avoid contaminating the standards.
4. Before removing the valve head, remove tubing to ports 4, 7, and 10 for wrench clearance (see Figure 24). There is no need to drain sample line 3 as the sample was turned off in step 2. The line to port 7 is the waste line.
Page 65 Maintenance
Section 5
5. Using a 7/64-in. Allen wrench, loosen the three recessed socket head cap screws in the valve stator (valve head). Do not completely remove the screws, but back them out far enough to remove the head. These screws will help hold a ring spacer that lies under the valve head or stator. Be careful not to lose this spacer. Pull the valve head away from the valve module and inspect surfaces of the rotor and stator.
Note: Do not the scratch the surfaces of the rotor and stator. Note: A small amount of fluid may drain from the stator. If the volume is large, be sure the siphon to the reagent bottles was broken.
6. Inspect the slot in the rotor for any plastic shavings or sample debris. If these are visible, remove the rotor from its holder for cleaning. Carefully clean this slot with a small stylus, or a soft bottle brush, taking care not to scratch the valve surface. 7. Dry and then inspect the valve surface of the valve head/stator. If this surface is scored, replace the valve head along with the rotor. Figure 23 Valve Rotor Part Identification

Reinstallation
1. Before reinstalling the rotary valve, dry all surfaces with paper toweling. Reposition the valve head with port 1 at 12 oclock (top center) on the valve body. Make sure the locating pins in the valve body engage the locating pin holes on the back side of the valve head/stator. 2. Hold the valve stator in place as you engage the three socket head cap screws. Take care to evenly tighten these three screws. You will feel an even resistance as the valve stator tightens down. This is because a spring washer will be compressed during the rotor/stator mating. Tighten these screws in even increments until tight (100 to 120 inch-ounces of torque or 0,7 to 1,4 Joules of torque). 3. Re-attach lines 4, 7, and 10 to the valve head/stator. If the valve stator is replaced, connect the remaining lines to the new stator.
Note: Do not over-tighten these valve fittings. These fitting are finger-tight fittings. Torque these fitting to no more that 18 inch-ounces (0.13 Joule).
4. Return the raised reagent lines of the reagent/standard bottles to their original positions. 5. Start the analyzer. Go to the Prime Menu and select the Prime Entire System option. Once readings stabilize, recalibrate the instrument.

Replace autoburette piston seals if: They have been in use longer than 3 months. Air leakage into the autoburette body through the seals is visible. There are signs of leakage on the back side of the autoburette module.
Important Note: Regular maintenance of the Autoburette Module is critical for correct analyzer function. Failure to perform the required regular maintenance will void the manufacturer warranty.
Use the following procedure, Figure 25, and Figure 26 to replace the autoburette seals: 1. Place the instrument in standby, then turn it off. The piston will be fully forward. 2. Break the siphon to the cleaning solution by disconnecting the reagent tubing from the reagent vent cap insert. Lift the reagent line until the bottom of the reagent line is above the liquid level in the bottle. 3. Remove the two tubes connected to the autoburette body. 4. Remove the knurled lock ring from the autoburette body; set it aside for reuse when reassembling the autoburette.
Page 68 Maintenance
Section 5
5. Gently slide the autoburette body assembly off of the piston by pulling it away from the module base. Be careful not to bend the piston and lead screw assembly during removal. 6. Use a -inch open-end wrench to loosen the ceramic piston guide from the Autoburette Body assembly. Unscrew the piston guide and set it aside. Figure 25 Autoburette Module
7. Remove the two piston seals from the seal retaining ring and discard. Take care not to damage the seal retaining ring. 8. Remove the O-ring that is seated within the assembly. Do not use a sharp tool for O-ring removal, damage to the auto-burette body could result. 9. Install a new O-ring; make sure it is fully seated in the groove. 10. Install the two new piston seals onto the seal retaining ring. Place one seal flanged-side up and press the seal retaining ring onto it. Repeat for the opposite side. Ensure both rings are fully engaged and that the resulting edge is flat. 11. Drop the assembled piece into the autoburette body so it is resting on the O-ring. 12. Install the ceramic piston guide and tighten just until resistance is felt. 13. Fully insert the stainless steel alignment tool. 14. Securely hand-tighten the ceramic piece into the Autoburette Body.

5.1.3.2 Cleaning the Mixer Module Chamber
It may become necessary to clean the mixer module chamber and the surface where the stir bar rests. This is usually indicated when the module chamber becomes discolored by biogrowth, staining, or sediment. 1. For safety reasons, run a CLEAN cycle before disassembling the mixer module. 2. Put the instrument in standby. 3. Notice the mixer housing is split. Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosed the two captive screws that secure the module to the instrument panel. 4. Hold the part of the housing next to the block while pulling the top of the housing out from the block. The part of the housing that holds the stir bar should stay attached to the instrument. Let the top part of the housing hang from the attached tubing. 5. Use a cotton swab soaked with a 10% household bleach solution to clean the mixing chamber and the module housing top. Rinse well with deionized water. See Figure 29. Figure 29 Mixer Module Parts

Reassemble the housing, making sure the o-ring and stir bar are in place. See Figure 29. 8. Tighten the Phillips screws that hold the top of the housing to the block. 9. Restart the instrument.
5.2 Troubleshooting
5.2.1 General Troubleshooting Procedure
This section provides general procedures to solve problems that affect the analyzers performance. The first sign of a problem may be an alarm or warning, but erroneous or erratic readings may not always cause an alarm or warning. Being familiar with the steps in this section will help to quickly solve operational problems.
5.2.1.1 Check Alarm Log

Occasionally check the bottom line of the AquaTrend for N or 1 through 8. These are indicators for network or sensor alarms/warnings. If any alarm or warnings occur, this will help narrow the search to a specific module or problem. See section 5.3 on page 77 for specific alarm and warning messages and corrective actions. See section 4.2.1 on page 37 to review the alarm log.
5.2.1.2 Check Solutions

Verify Reagent, Standard, and Cleaning Solution bottles are not empty and are connected to the correct tube. Ensure the reagent line in the guide tube goes to the bottom of the bottle. Make sure standards are the correct value. Check tubing at the rotary valve and make sure the tubing is filled with fluid, not air. If ports on the rotary valve have been removed recently, refer to the plumbing diagram and ensure the ports were reconnected properly. If reagent or standard is not delivered to the valve, check for kinks in the tubing. Replace any tubing that is kinked or crushed. If reagents or standards are degrading, check the seal on the bottle caps and the tubing connections. Replace if necessary.
Page 75 Troubleshooting
Section 5
5.2.2 Examine the Rotary Valve
Watch the rotary valve movement during a cycle. If fluid is moving from the common port to more than one outlet port, cross-leakage in the rotary valve is occurring. Inspect the rotary valve per section 5.1.2.5 on page 65. It is likely that stator will need to be replaced. Verify fluid is aspirated in when the autoburette is aspirating. If air is pulled into the tubing connected to the center port, and there is fluid at the selected port, the selected port may be clogged. Inspect and clean the rotary valve per section 5.1.2.5 on page 65. If reagent or standard is not delivered, disassemble and inspect the valve rotor and stator for blockage or buildup. Also inspect the reagent and standard port tubing.
5.2.3 Examine the Autoburette

If air is moving through the piston seals during operation, check the vortex filter. If the filter is plugged, clean it as described in section 5.1.2.2 on page 60. If the filter is not plugged, replace the seals per section 5.1.2.6 on page 68. If there is fluid leakage around the autoburette body, replace the seals.
5.2.4 Examine the Tubing and Fittings

Check the tubing for problems which may cause reduced or blocked flow. Reduced or blocked flow may also be caused by fittings that are overtightened. If fluid in the holding coil is not observed, the holding coil may be blocked. Replace the block containing the coil
Important Note: Do not shorten the tubing lengths for the holding coil.
Examine the fittings for leakage and tighten if necessary. The fittings should be firmly finger tight. If tubing was recently replaced, check the tubing lengths against the table presented in the parameter-specific manual.
5.2.5 Back Pressure Gauge

The APA 6000 is equipped with a back pressure gauge positioned on the right-front of the analyzer, attached to the drain block. The gauge monitors the pressure applied on the detection line of the analyzer. This line is pressurized via a small spring-loaded device located on the back of the drain block. The factory setting of the device is 20 psi. The detector and valve are temperature controlled at an elevated temperature. This may cause entrained air to leave the solution. The reason for pressurizing this line is to minimize out-gassing as the solution passes through the detector and reaction coil. The gauge can serve as a good indication of the proper operation of the analyzer. The back pressure will reach a maximum value (20 psi) as the
Page 76 Troubleshooting
Section 5
autoburette dispenses fluid through the detector line. Following dispensation, the pressure may drop 34 psi and then should remain approximately constant. The gauge can indicate possible problems in the following ways: If the back pressure never reaches 20 psi and fluctuates as the autoburette is dispensing fluid, this may indicate leaking seals in the autoburette. If the back pressure reaches 20 psi as the autoburette dispenses, but then drops below 5 psi after the burette has stopped, this may indicate a leak in the valve which may also indicate the beginning of wear that can result in leakage between valve ports and poor performance. Finally, if the gauge reads above 25 psi, it is likely that the back pressure device or detector line has buildup and needs to be replaced.
5.3 Specific Alarm/Warning Messages

There are two types of alarms, system alarms and sample setpoint alarms. System alarms cause the analyzer to go into standby mode and require operator intervention to correct the problem. Sample setpoint alarms are caused by sample concentrations exceeding the user-selected setpoint values. Warnings notify the operator of potential problems which might degrade the performance of the analyzer. When an alarm or warning occurs, it is placed in the alarm log, which stores up to 14 alarm/warning messages. The alarm log can be reviewed from the AquaTrend (see section 4.2.1 on page 37). The following tables describe the possible set point alarms (Table 11), system alarms (Table 12) and system warnings (Table 13), along with causes, analyzer actions, and corrective actions. Use these tables to return the analyzer to proper operation. Table 11 APA 6000 Set Point Alarms

Printer and Computer Formats
APA 6000 Printer and Computer Formats

Printer Format Since the SIO can receive data from up to 8 analyzers, the SIO channel is shown in the first three characters (i.e., [1] specifies information is from the analyzer connected to SIO channel 1).
[1]01/01/97 00:23: 3.234 S1P1 [1]01/01/97 00:23: 0.527 S1P2 [1]01/01/97 11:28: 3.977 S1P1 *W [1]01/01/97 11:28: SMP1 OUT ALARM *A [1]01/01/97 11:28: 0.611 S1P2 *A * W [1]01/01/97 11:29: End SMP1 OUT ALARM *A
First occurrence of any alarm or warning will be sent out. The time/date of the alarm or warning is printed followed by either ALRM or WARN to specify it is an alarm or warning. The specific alarm or warning is then printed on the next line. When the alarm or warning condition clears it will be sent preceded by END: to indicate the condition is cleared. Some alarms and warnings provide information only and do not have an end (i.e. a fail to calibrate message is printed out only when the condition occurs). If a alarm or warning condition is active, then a *A for alarm or a *W for warning is appended to the measurement readings. Computer Format When the SIO is setup to transmit to a computer, the format is similar to the printer format described above. In addition, the year is included in the date and the alarms and warnings are printed out on the same line as the time and date. When using PC format, the time/date stamp can be disabled and the readings can be queried instead of being sent out in real-time. If the SIO is in Queried mode, the readings are sent out only when the analyzer receives RMR command, alarms and warnings are sent only when receive RAR command (refer to Table 14 for more on RMR and RAR commands). Remote RS232 Commands Table 14 lists the commands that can be sent to the APA 6000 Analyzer for remote analyzer operation.The analyzer response to remote commands will be OK if changing instrument settings. Commands which query settings or values will be responded to with the current settings or readings. If the analyzer does not recognize the command then a BAD CMD message is returned. If the analyzer recognizes the command but the settings are invalid then BAD SETTINGS is returned. Messages to the analyzer must be terminated with a carriage return character to signify end of command. Linefeed characters and spaces are ignored. All incoming characters are converted to uppercase before evaluated. When sending commands through the SIO, the channel number must precede the command. For example, if the analyzer is connected to SIO channel 1 and you wish to restart the analyzer, 1SRT should be sent. The analyzer will reply with OK and the SIO inserts the channel assigned for the analyzer (i.e. [1]OK will be the response to the computer).

Second Sample Options

The APA 6000 Analyzer is capable of analyzing two sample streams. If a second sample stream is added to the analyzer, the sample must be filtered to 0.5 m.
Sample Sequencing
Hach recommends using the Sample Sequencing Kit (Cat. No. 62009-00) to add a second sample stream to the analyzer in clean water applications. The Sample Sequencing Kit contains a vortex filter sample conditioning block, tubing, fittings, spare filters, and instructions. For wastewater applications Hach recommends using the APA 6000 Micro filter Kit (Cat. No. 51339-00 115 V or 51339-01 230 V).
Quality Control
A second sample stream may be used to verify the operation of the APA 6000 by reading a known sample at regular intervals. Hach recommends using the Quality Control Kit (Cat. No. 62032-00).This kit includes a carboy capable of holding a one month supply of a quality control standard, plus the tubing and fittings necessary to plumb the carboy to the analyzer.
Grab Sample
To occasionally check a second sample or verify operation by reading a known sample, use the Grab Sample Kit (Cat. No. 62037-00) which is supplied with the instrument.

Appendix C
Setting Up the Sample Sequence
For analyzers with two sample streams, the measurement sequence option allows the user to customize the sequence of sample stream measurements. The analyzer will measure the sample streams based on the step order the operator selects. The sample streams can be in any order; the analyzer will sequence up to eight sample cycles. For example: 1, 2, or 1, 2, 1, 1, 1, 2.
Note: The sequence will terminate at the first unused step. Subsequent steps will be cleared.
1. Add the new sample stream to the analyzer:

Key Press 1. MENU SENSOR 2. ENTER SELECT SENSOR Select sensor by name 3. ENTER SENSOR DIAGNOSTICS 4. ENTER SAMPLE STREAMS 5. ENTER TWO 6. ENTER Menu Selection
2. Assign a measurement to channel for the new sample stream:

Key Press 1. MENU AQUATREND MENU 2. ENTER DISPLAY SETUP 3. ENTER MEASUREMENT TO CHANNEL Select ATTACH 4. ENTER SELECT SENSOR Select sensor by name 5. ENTER SELECT MEASUREMENT / CHANNEL 6. ENTER Select the channel to which the measurement is to be displayed 7. ENTER A pop-up window will appear Select ATTACH 8. A pop-up window will confirm the attachment Menu Selection
Appendix C
3. Use the sample sequencing function to control the frequency of the readings taken from the new sample stream.
Key Press 1. 2. MENU SENSOR ENTER SELECT SENSOR Select sensor by name 3. 4. 5. ENTER MEASUREMENT OPTIONS ENTER SAMPLE SEQUENCE ENTER STEP X Select the first unused step. 6. ENTER SAMPLE NUMBER Assign either sample stream 1 or 2 to the step 7. ENTER Menu Selection
For each STEP X (18) in Step 4, choose one of the measurement streams to sequence. The instrument will analyze in this sequence down to the first step left unused and will then repeat the sequence. For example, if you want the analyzer to alternate readings between the sample and the quality control standard, you would only program 1, 2. If you want the analyzer to read the quality control standard every fourth measurement, program 1, 1, 1, 2.
