Each filter, except the 340 nm filter, is placed behind a pre-filter to adjust
optical signal intensity of optical signal with different wavelengths. The larger
wavelength is, the smaller aperture of pre-filter is.
After conducting blank calibration (AD auto zero set), if magnification value
of certain filter is 7, it indicates that transmittance of filter is on the low side. In
this case, aperture of pre-filter needs adjusting (amplification) or filter needs
replacing.
Steps of Replacement for Filter
-- Remove snap rings from the filter with tweezers (as shown in Fig 5-7).
-- Remove the filter and pre-filter with an offset socket wrench (as shown in
Fig 5-8).
-- After removing, the sequence is pre-filter, filter, and snap ring. Enlarge
aperture of pre-filter or replace filter (as shown in Fig 5-9).

Note: Only when AD value or background value is overall on the high side or
on the low side, these two potentiometers can be adjusted.

Magnification AD Principle
Value Value
0 8000 When AD value is lower than normal range,
magnification value increases by 1 automatically.
1 16000 Magnification value is 1 and AD value is magnified
to 16000. If AD value is still lower than normal
range, magnification value increases by 1
automatically.
2 24000 Magnification value is 2 and AD value is magnified
to 24000. If AD value is still lower than normal
range, magnification value increases by 1
automatically.
3 32000 Magnification value is 3 and AD value is magnified
to 32000. If AD value is within normal range, the
analyzer fulfills automatic zero set.

Malfunction Analysis
When 82MXL- synchronous belt has been worn down, the analyzer collides
with needle when working. In this case, the synchronous belt needs replacing.
When reaction plate cannot be reset, OC of reaction plate needs replacing.
When sample plate cannot be reset, OC of sample plate needs replacing.
When temperature of reaction plate displays abnormity ( -273℃ ) , check
temperature sensor (AD590) to see whether it is damaged.

When vertical motion of sampling arm cannot be reset, OC of sampling arm
needs replacing.
When horizontal motion of sampling arm cannot be reset, OC of sampling
arm base needs replacing.
When the analyzer draws reagents or samples, if sampling needle fails to
drop into reagent bottle, it indicates that sampling needle has a short circuit.

When suction arm cannot be reset, OC of suction arm needs replacing.
If suction needle or its connecting pipeline is blocked or leaks gas, the
suction amount will be inaccurate.

Malfunction Analysis
Leakage of the injector leads to the dripping of sampling needle and
inaccuracy of suction amount. In this case, the injector needs replacing. When
replacing the injector, its parallelism should be adjusted so that the injector is
in parallel with the panel of the diluter, as shown by the two-way arrow in Fig
5- 20.
If the injector cannot be reset, OC of the diluter needs replacing.
Malfunction Analysis
When the analyzer has been put into use for a long period, pump pipe will be
worn down.
Abrasion of peristaltic pump pipe for sucking samples will lead to the
inaccuracy of liquid absorption and bubbles in the cell.
Abrasion of peristaltic pump pipe for washing will lead to the inadequacy of
the washing amount and relatively low water yield from sampling needle when
cleaning.

Temperature Regulation
Heating of reaction plate and cell is controlled by main board. Three
potentiometers on main board can be used for regulations.
TP2 serves to regulate actual temperature of the cell. Turn clockwise to
lower the temperature and counterclockwise to elevate the temperature.
TP3 serves to regulate actual temperature of reaction plate. Turn clockwise
to lower the temperature and counterclockwise to elevate the temperature.
TP8 serves to set a benchmark for voltage and regulate and show the
temperature.
Regulations of actual temperature can be done by measuring circuit.
As the blue line indicating voltage measuring point shown in Fig 5-31: when
actual voltage increases or decreases by every 0.001V, actual temperature
increases or decreases by 0.1 ℃ correspondingly .

To reagent probe: Make the first grid of the first section of reaction plate
move to the centre of “Reaction Horizontal Position” of sampling needle, as
shown in Fig 5-37.
To pump needle position: Make reaction plate move to the centre of suction
needle, as shown in Fig 5-38.
Note
-- Reaction horizontal position: Wrong parameter will lead to collision.
-- Reaction vertical position: Too large parameter will increase residual
contamination of sampling needle.
-- Reaction vertical position: Too small parameter will lead to liquid remaining
around head of sampling needle.
-- To reagent probe: Wrong parameter will lead to collision.
-- To pump needle position: Wrong parameter will lead to collision.
Sample horizontal position (B): Make sampling needle move to Position “B”
on sample plate, as shown in Fig 5-40. Simultaneously, regulate “Outside loop
Pos.(B)” on the “ Sample Plate” tab, as shown in Fig 5-42.
Sample horizontal position (32): Make sampling needle move to Position “32”
on sample plate, as shown in Fig 5-41. Simultaneously, regulate “Inside loop
Pos.(32)” on the “ Sample Plate” tab, as shown in Fig 5-42.
Sample vertical position: Make sampling needle move to the bottom of
sample cup, not touching the bottom and keeping space between the pinpoint
and the bottom of the cup being 2-3 mm, as shown in Fig 5-40.

Outside loop position: Make sampling needle move to Position “B” on sample
plate, as shown in Fig 5-40.
Inside loop position: Make sampling needle move to Position “32” on sample
plate, as shown in Fig 5-41.

-- Sample horizontal position (B): Wrong parameter will lead to collision.

Movements of peristaltic pump include suction needle’s vertical movement in
reaction cuvette and suction steps of waste fluid pump, which are divided into
three steps. The movement diagram is shown in Fig 5-44.
Step1: Evacuate the remainder of waste fluid in flow cell. And there is no
need for suction needle to touch reaction solution.
Step2: Clean flow cell with reaction solution under test. And use suction
needle to draw 1/3 of the reaction solution.
Step3: Draw reaction solution into the cell to carry out color comparison. And
use suction needle to exhaust the reaction solution.
