Installation
What’s in the Box
One APFCL Chlorine / pH / Temperature Panel Assembled and Complete with:
- 110VAC Power Supply Cord
- TS05 Color display
- WR05 Single Sensor Flow Reservoir
- Chlorine Sensor, pre-wired
- Inlet Flow Meter (installed)
- Isolation Valve (installed)
- Inlet Tubing, ¼” OD PE (5’)
- Outlet Tubing, ¾” ID PVC (5’)
- Rear FRP channel strut (2) and hardware
- Wall-mounting red-head concrete bolts (4)
- Electrical Schematics
Before installation, check all components for damage and check all fasteners and union nuts. Tighten as needed.
Preparation
The APFCL is designed to withstand outdoor conditions, although it is recommended to locate the panel in a protected enclosure for maximum life. A cool, dry location where the unit can be easily monitored and serviced is recommended. Special ventilation is not required.
Choose a location that ensures proper water inlet conditions. Ensure minimum water pressure for flow requirement. 7.5 PSI water source is recommended, but water flow may also be maintained with 3-4 PSI water, or a static elevation of 10 feet, if conditions are ideal. Prevent excess inlet pressure by installing a PRV on any water source with pressure above 30 PSI.
The APFCL should be mounted on a level, flat surface. We recommend using the provided FRP strut for secure installation. When mounted to a wall, use hardware appropriate for the wall material and support. Check weight and force requirements prior to mounting to the wall.
Do not support any other structure or piping from the APFCL panel.
Wall Mount Space: The APFCL analyzer panel size is 24” H x 12” W x 16” D in.
Please accommodate sufficient space for mounting. The panel is equipped with pre-installed rear strut for simple wall mounting.
Wall Mount Weight: Approximately 11 lbs (kg). Please use appropriate mounting hardware.
When moving and lifting the skid, use the provided handles and be careful not to damage any component hardware.
Physical Installation
The APFCL must be level to ensure accuracy.
If mounting to the wall, follow these instructions:
- Use the existing FRP strut and provided brackets and hardware. (Note: your specific wall material may require separate mounting hardware, as appropriate for the material)
- Choose a wall location and mark the wall location for FRP mounting.
- Drill holes or prepare wall surface.
- Mount FRP strut using appropriate hardware for wall or surface.
- Re-attach panel to strut using provided hardware.
Sensor Installation
The FCL700 sensor will be wrapped separately in the box. It must be inserted into the WR05 Chamber. Carefully remove the tip protection and insert into chamber. See the maintenance section for details on sensor installation and replacement.
Take care when connecting the sensor cable to the sensor (if needed.)
This may also be a good time to check the inside of the WR05 chamber to ensure it is clean and free of debris. Use a clean cloth to wipe the inside of the chamber, then rinse with DI water.
Piping and Tubing Connections
The APFCL Analyzer must be connected to a proper water source with adequate pressure to provide minimal flow through the chamber. Discharge water outlet location will need to be determined prior to installation.
Before connecting the water supply to the unit, let the water run for 30 seconds to ensure all debris and particulates have cleared. New connections or valves that have not been opened recently may contain dirt or other sediment build-up. Run this water to drain.
The analyzer is provided with inlet and outlet tubing proper for inlet water connection.
Water Supply: Inlet water pressure should be from 7.25 – 30 psi (0.05-0.2MPa) with an inlet feedwater line diameter of ¼-inch O.D. Tubing. The APFCL is provided with an inlet Rotameter and flow regulating valve for sample water inlet flow control and limited pressure regulation. The range of inlet flow for the WR05 should be consistently maintained between 200 and 400 mL per minute.
Water Sample Outlet: The WR05 sample outlet drain (3/4” ID Tubing) is located on the bottom of the WR05. Five (5) feet of ¾” ID clear PVC tubing is provided. This must be connected to a continuous drainage system, or location that will allow continuous drainage.
Drainage: The WR05 outlet drain valve is located on the bottom of the WR05. Use this valve to completely drain the chamber for cleaning and service.
Weir overflow: A weir overflow (3/8-inch O.D. Tubing) is located on the top of the WR05. Overflow must be connected to a discharge drain via gravity flow.
We recommend checking system pressure from the source. Do not provide too much pressure to the unit. A pressure-regulating valve may be required.
Wiring
Always wear protective clothing, face shield, safety glasses and gloves when working on your Analyzer. Use caution when lifting and mounting equipment. When in doubt, contact the factory for assistance.
Power Wiring
The APFCL analyzer has universal AC power supply equipment allowing users simply to plug the power supply into a 100~240V AC 50/60Hz power outlet for normal operation. The unit comes with a 6-foot power cord with a standard 110VAC 15-5P connector.
Wiring Diagram
The APFCL analyzer uses a simple terminal block. The terminal board provides two prewired 8-pin pigtail cables with adapters. The input cable offers a male adapter for direct connection to the FCL700 sensor. This cable is to be terminated to the sensor only.
Input/Output Wiring
The internal terminal board is prewired with two 8-pin cable pigtail cables.
- The input cable (male adapter) is to be terminated to the FCL700 sensor.
- The output cable (female adapter) is to be terminated to the loose flying lead cable provided with the panel and allows 2x 4-20mA output signals (pH and Chlorine) and 1x RS-485 signal of the sensor to be PASSED- THROUGH to another receiving device. There is also 1x 4-20mA USER DEFINED output from the TS05 (referred to as AOut in TS05 dropdown list).
- Additionally, the prewired 8-pin output cable offers a 24VDC (10Watt) relay for operation of alarm, light, buzzer or other device based on the user relay settings chosen.
The flying lead section of the loose shipped output cable may then be landed to the input terminal of “ANOTHER DEVICE”. Note: Shielded cables must be used on all signal wiring.
Refer to the instructions in the manual for detailed information.
