GF 4630 Manual
Text of the manual
The Signet Chlorine Analyzer System is an integrated, all-in-one chlorine panel system designed to measure free chlorine in
drinking water and clean fresh water treatment applications.
Features:
Complete chlorine analyzer system allows quick setup and easy
•
installation. Connect to a water source and plug it in.
Unique integrated clear fl ow cell combines sensors, fl ow regulator,
•
fi lter and rotameter in one compact unit.
Built-in rotameter facilitates fl ow rate confi rmation at a glance.
•
Integrated fl ow regulator with removable fi lter accepts inlet pressures
•
of 15 to 150 psi while maintaining constant fl ow and minimal pressure
to the sensors.
Water fl ows vertically into sensor tip, eliminating bubble entrapment.
•
Raised exit in fl ow cell sensor chamber ensures sensors stay
submerged even when system and fl ow is turned off.
System is supplied with pre-wired electronics, power cable, 4 to 20 mA
•
current loop and relay output capability.
Flow cell accommodates two sensors; one chlorine and an optional
•
pH sensor.
Automatic pH and temperature compensation or manual pH value
•
input capability for chlorine reading accuracy.
Easy viewing of the transmitter via the bright backlit LCD display.
•
Moisture proof NEMA 4X wiring enclosure.
•
Exterior panel enclosure available for outdoor mounting applications.
•
Refer to the individual component manuals for detailed component
information.

CAUTION!
Follow instructions carefully to avoid personal injury.
1.
Do not exceed the maximum pressure or temperature specifi cations.
2.
Mounting the Chlorine System in an outdoor box, in areas with elevated temperatures, may
3.
cause damage to the system if the enclosure's internal temperature exceeds the temperature
specifi cation of the Chlorine Analyzer.
Do not alter product construction.
4.
For use with clean fresh water only.
5.
Disconnect AC power before opening wiring enclosure.
6.
This panel system uses AC voltages. Wiring should be done by qualifi ed personnel only.

4. Mounting
Mount the panel according to electrical, building, and or plumbing codes and
•
seismic requirements.
The panel must be mounted vertically in an upright position.
•
Use four 6 mm (¼ in.) diameter screws or bolts of suffi cient length to mount
•
the panel to a sturdy vertical surface. A mounting template is provided.
Allow clearance on the sides and bottom for service to the unit.
•
Mount in a shaded location out of direct sunlight. Indoors is recommended.
•
Bright light can promote algae growth.
Keep panel system electronics and enclosure away from dripping water.
•
If the system is mounted outdoors, an outdoor enclosure for the whole
•
system must be used to protect the electronics and fl ow cell from light,
rodents, insects and dirt. A suitable outdoor box is available from Georg
Fischer Signet.
5. Tubing Connections
Use suitable tubing that is rated for your inlet pressure. Use hose clamps.
•
NO
Valve position for start up and normal use
Note: Turn off inlet valve fi rst when stopping
water fl ow.
• The drain tube must be positioned lower than
the infl uent water source to allow proper fl ow
through the fl ow cell. The fl ow cell must drain by
gravity, not system pressure.
Inlet Quick Release Connection
Press down gray plunger to release. Water fl ow
is automatically shut off when disconnected.
4630 Chlorine Analyzer System
Step 1. Mount the panel on a vertical fl at surface using appropriate hardware.
Step 2. Install the infl uent water source to the "Inlet Port" nipple assembly of the fl ow cell. Use tubing
that is properly rated for the system pressure and secure with hose clamps.
Step 3. Install tubing on the "Drain" port and direct the tube to a proper drain.
Step 4. Open the wiring enclosure and wire any 4 to 20 mA and relay outputs. (See section 7: Wiring)
Step 5. Remove sensor access plugs from the fl ow cell. If the optional pH sensor is NOT used, only remove the
right plug from the fl ow cell.
Step 6. Remove the protective cap from the chlorine electrode tip and install the electrode into the fl ow cell.
(Keep the electrode tip cap in a safe place for future use. It is recommend to use the cap to protect the
sensor during the removal of the electrode for cleaning or maintenance of the fl ow cell.)
Step 7. Repeat step 6 if the optional pH sensor is being used.
Step 8. Verify the inlet and drain ball valves are in the open position and the sample port is in the off position.
(See section 5: Tubing Connections)
Step 9. Turn on the infl uent water source and check the system for leaks.
Step 10. Plug in or apply input power to the system.
NOTE: A new chlorine sensor requires a 4 hour conditioning period with power on and water fl owing past the
sensor prior to calibration. All new chlorine and pH sensors require calibration during the start up of a system
and also throughout the life of the sensor. See the 3-8630-3P transmitter manual for the proper calibration
procedure.
