Sample Requirements - ABB Navigator 550 Manual

Sample requirements

1. Ensure the sampling point is as close as possible to the
wet-section and provides a thoroughly-mixed representative
sample.
2. Sample must contain <10 ppm suspended solids with a
particle size no greater than 60 µm. (If particle sizes exceed
60 µm, use a 60 µm filter.)
3. Sample temperature must be within the range 5 to 55 °C
(41 to 131 °F).
Note. If the measured sample temperature exceeds
55 °C (131 °F), the calibration valve opens automatically
to protect the dissolved oxygen sensor from thermal
overload. The valve closes after 30 minutes, but if the
sample temperature still exceeds 55 °C (131 °F) the valve
re-opens.
4. Sample flow rates must be within the range 100 to
300 ml/min. (6.10 to 18.30 cu in./min.) – recommended
150 ml/min (9.15 cu in./min.).
5. Sample pressure must not exceed 2 bar gauge (29 psi).

Locating the wet-section
Referring to Fig. 1:
1. Locate the wet-section / transmitter indoors in a clean, dry,
well-ventilated, easily-accessible area.
2. Do not locate in rooms containing corrosive gases or vapors –
for example, with chlorination equipment or chlorine gas
cylinders.
3. Select a location not subject to strong electrical and magnetic
fields. If this is not possible (for example, where mobile
communications equipment is present), use screened cables
within flexible, earthed, metal conduit.
