Product Description
Application
Range
The AMI Sample Sequencer is a complete system for the automat-
ic, continuous multiplexing of up to six sample streams to one pro-
cess analyzer. The AMI Sample Sequencer can be connected to
an:
AMI Phosphate HL
AMI Silica
AMI Silitrace
AMI Sodium A
AMI Sodium P
Operating
Modes
The AMI Sample Sequencer provides the following two operating
modes
AMI
Set the AMI Sample Sequencer to the mode if it is con-
nected to an AMI Phosphate HL, AMI Silica or AMI Silitrace. In
this operating mode the AMI Sample Sequencer works as
slave, either of the analyzer or of an external PLC. Communi-
cation between the instruments takes place via I2C interface.
For further information see Connect the I2C Bus, p. 31.
Internal
Set the AMI Sample Sequencer to the mode if it is
connected to an AMI Sodium A or AMI Sodium P. In this oper-
ating mode the AMI Sample Sequencer works as master. It
switches the sample streams according to the programmed
cycle time. There is no communication between the instru-
ments, only measuring values are transferred via signal out-
puts 1 and 2 of the analyzer to the signal inputs 1 and 2 of the
AMI Sample Sequencer. For further information see
Sample Sequencer Inputs, p. 37.
Signal
Outputs
6 current outputs to transfer the measuring values of the AMI trans-
mitter to a PLC device.
Relay
6 signal outputs for indication of the 6-way valve position.
1 signal output for flow alarm.
Inputs
6 signal inputs to override programmed measuring sequences, by
activating or deactivating an input. The functionality depends on the
settings of the instruments.

Product Description
Safety
Features
No data loss after power failure. All data is saved in non-volatile
memory. Over voltage protection of in- and outputs. Galvanic sepa-
ration of measuring inputs and signal outputs.
Fluidics
The sample enters the flow cell blocks [C, D, E] via the sample in-
lets [I]. Each sample inlet is equipped with a flow regulating valve
[G]. The sample flows through the active sample line via 6-way
valve [A] and flow meter [F] to the instrument. Excessive sample
(e.g. inactive sample lines) flows via overflow [H] to the atmospher-
ic drain [J].

at the same time the 6-way valve [A] switches to sample stream
2, a new measuring cycle starts.
the sample of sample stream 1 remains in the photometer where
reagents are added and a measurement is performed.
During the measuring of sample stream 1, the tube [E] and the
constant head [B] are flushed with sample stream 2.

Measuring Cycle at Continuous Measurement
2.2.1
AMI Sodium A and AMI Sodium P
A new measuring cycle always starts when the 6-way valve [A] is
switched to the next programmed sample stream.
NOTICE: The following parameters are only available if the AMI
Sample Sequencer is set to the mode .
Cycle time
The time of switch over between the sample streams is defined as
-cycle time-. The cycle time includes the “Flush Time” and the mea-
suring time of the active sample line.
The measuring time can not be set, but can be calculated as fol-
lows:
Measuring time = “Cycle Time” - “Flush Time” + “Valid After”
The -cycle time- can be set individually for each sample line in 5
min steps from 5 min to 600 min. A sample line is deactivated if the
cycle time is set to 0 min.
Flush Time
The parameter -Flush Time- defines how long the measuring cell of
the AMI Sodium A or an AMI Sodium P is flushed with the active
sample before the measurement starts. (see 5.1 Sequence, p. 60)
Valid After
The parameter -Valid After- defines the remaining measuring time
of the sample stream x after the 6-way valve has switched to the
next sample stream (see 5.1 Sequence, p. 60).

Communication, Error Handling
3.9.1
Mode
The I2C connection allows a communication between the AMI ana-
lyzer and the AMI Sample Sequencer.
Sample Switch
Command
The AMI analyzer sends a command to the AMI Sample Sequencer
to switch the 6-way valve to the next sample stream.
Sample Flow
Error in
Mode Internal
If the Sample Sequencer detects a flow error on a sample stream, it
immediately switches to the next sample stream until it finds a sam-
ple stream with sample flow. The flow error is indicated on the re-
spective sample stream on the AMI analyzer display with a tilde.
During this time the AMI analyzer detects sample flow from the con-
stant head, therefore no flow alarm is triggered.
Sample Flow
Error in
Mode External
If the Sample Sequencer detects a flow error on a sample stream, it
is waiting for the command to switch to the next sample stream. A
flow alarm is issued via relay contact 7 “ALARM” of the outputs to
PLC.
3.9.2
Mode
The signal outputs 1 and 2 of the AMI analyzer can be connected to
the signal inputs 1 and 2 of the AMI Sample Sequencer. This allows
to transfer the measuring values of each measured sample stream
to a remote device.
There is no communication between the AMI analyzer and the AMI
Sample Sequencer!
Sample Switch
Command
The command to switch to the next channel is triggered by the
AMI Sample Sequencer according to its programmed cycle time.
Sample Flow
Error
If the Sample Sequencer detects a flow error on a sample stream it
remains on this sample stream until the cycle time is over. During
this time it displays a flow alarm.

Program List and Explanations
5 Installation
5.1 Sequence
5.1.1
Mode: Internal, AMI
Mode Internal: Set Mode to Internal if the AMI Sample Sequencer
is connected to an AMI Sodium A or an AMI Sodium P. In this Mode
the AMI Sample Sequencer automatically switches from sample 1
to max. 6.
Mode AMI: Set Mode to AMI if the AMI Sample Sequencer is con-
nected to an AMI Silica, AMI Silitrace or AMI Phosphate HL. In this
Mode the AMI Sample Sequencer works as a slave of the AMI ana-
lyzer. No further settings are available in the Mode AMI.
NOTICE: Do not set the AMI Sample Sequencer to Mode
Internal if it is connected to an AMI Silica, AMI Silitrace or AMI
Phosphate HL.
5.1.2
Signal Inputs: The signal inputs are used to receive the measuring
signal(s) from the current output of the AMI Sodium A or an AMI
Sodium P. The signal(s) are then transferred to a remote device
where the measuring value(s) are displayed.
If one signal input is selected, six sample channels are avail-
able.
If two signal inputs are selected, three sample channels are
available.
Range: 1 or 2
5.1.3
Flush Time: Set the flush time duration after channel switching.
Range: 10–3600 sec
5.1.4
Valid after: Set the remaining measuring time for channel x after the
6-way valve has switched to the next channel.
Range: 0–3600 sec
5.1.5
Cycle Time
Set the cycle time of each Channel (1 to max. 6). If the cycle time is
set to 0, the channel is switched off.
Range: 0–600 min

5.2 Sample Flow
5.2.1
Alarm High: If the measured value rises above the alarm high val-
ue, the alarm relay is activated and E009 is displayed in the mes-
sage list.
Range: 0.00–50.00 l/h
5.2.2
Alarm Low: If the measured value falls below the alarm low value,
the alarm relay is activated and E010 is displayed in the message
list.
Range: 0.00–50.00 l/h
5.2.3
Hysteresis: Within the hyst. range, the relay does not switch. This
prevents damage of relays contacts when the measured value fluc-
tuates around the alarm value.
Range: 0.5–5 l/h
5.2.2
Delay: Duration, the activation of the alarm relay is retarded after
the messuring value has risen above/fallen below the programmed
alarm.
Range: 0–28‘800 sec
