The FX-1000p-B Bufferless Chlorine Analyzer is designed to operate continuously, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The system requires little routine maintenance other than occasional calibration checks.

The sample cell of the analyzer has 150 PVC balls that are constantly rotated against the copper ring and gold electrode by a 120 rpm motor with a mixing arm attached to it. This action, provides automatic cleaning of the cell and sample consistency within the cell.

Cleaning the Copper Electrode Always polish the copper electrode ring whenever the electrode is: 1. Exposed to the atmosphere for more than a week (oxide/tarnish buildup occurs on new or out of service systems). 2. Used for about 12 months of normal operation (electrode usually oxidizes/tarnishes enough during this period to degrade measurement performance). 3. Acquires a precipitate buildup due to sample characteristics such as high calcium. Do not use any commercial abrasive cleaning powders or liquid, as they contain chlorine and will leave a residual coating that will adversely affect system performance. If the copper electrode ring is excessively scratched or has an uneven surface, it should be replaced.
