Further documents
®
Testomat ECO is a plant component. Therefore, always observe the
® ®
maintenance manual of Testomat 2000 /ECO and the documenta-
tion of the plant manufacturer.

Pay particular attention to

General instructions
 Adhere to national and local regulations during installation and
commissioning.
 Adhere to national health and safety regulations as well as envi-
! WARNING
ronmental protection regulations in the country of use and at the
installation site.
 Do not carry out any changes or actions at the instrument which
are not described in these instructions; failure to adhere to these
instructions will negatively affect any warranty claims that you
make thereafter.
 Trouble-free operation of Testomat ECO is only guaranteed when
®

®
using Heyl Testomat 2000 indicators in the pH-range 4 – 10.5!

Properties of the measured water

 With Testomat instruments for water hardness monitoring, larger
®

quantities of heavy metal ions in the softened water might influ-

ence the colour reaction, especially iron above 0.5 mg/I, copper
above 0.1 mg/I and aluminium above 0.1 mg/l (brownish-red colour
display).

5
 Pay particular attention to

 If the measuring water contains more than 20 mg/I CO2 (carbonic

acid), erroneous evaluations cannot be excluded (if necessary, use
aerator type R) (See note in the Performance Specifications).
 The concentration of influencing contents can be determined by
®
using our colourimetric TESTOVAL test kit.

Installation
 Always completely disconnect the relevant plant part before in-

! WARNING stalling the instrument or connecting/disconnecting it to/from the

power supply. Secure the plant against reconnection.
 Only connect the instrument to the mains voltage specified on the
rating plate.
 Always observe technical data and ambient parameters.
 Testomat ECO requires an interference free and stable power
®

NOTE supply. If necessary, use a mains filter to protect Testomat ECO

®

against interference voltages caused, e.g., by solenoid valves or

large motors. Never lay connecting cables parallel to power cables.

Operation
 Ensure that the maximum electrical load capacity of the relay out-
puts is never exceeded.
 Immediately switch off Testomat ECO and contact service staff if
®

malfunctioning occurs. The warranty will be void if you tamper with

®
or attempt to repair Testomat ECO . Repairs must be carried out
by authorised service staff.

After switch-off and longer downtime

 Ventilate the indicator leads as described in the start-up, because
longer downtimes (more than 6 hours) can cause the indicator in
the leads to retract.
 Do not switch off the appliance for longer periods (e.g. over the
weekend) via the start/stop output. The indicator can retract from
the leads. This results in measurement errors after the appliance is
switched on.

Cleaning
 Only use a dry, lint-free cloth for cleaning.

De-installation
 Prior to de-installing a defective instrument, always write down a
description of the error (failure effect). It is only possible to repair a
defective instrument (irrespective of the warranty period) if it has
been de-installed and returned to us with a description of the error.

Disposal
 Dispose of the instrument in accordance with national regulations.

Testomat ECO is used for the automatic determination and monitor-
ing of residual total hardness (water hardness) in water with a pH
level above 4. The required measuring range is determined by the
indicator selection and according to the user programming.

 Simple, menu-driven operating and programming via a plain

text display
 Determinable measuring of total hardness (water hardness)
 Freely selectable hardness unit in °dH, °f, ppm CaCO3 or
mmol/
 High measuring accuracy provided by a precise piston-
dosing pump
 Extended operating periods due to 500 ml indicator storage
bottle
 Analysis initiation:
- Automatic interval operation
(interval pause can be set from 0-99 minutes)
- Quantity dependent via impulse water meter/turbine
- External analysis stop
 Two independent limit values with hysteresis (1, 2 or 3 bad
analyses) and settable switch functions
(two neutral change-over contacts)
 Fault message output (neutral change-over contact)
 Current output 0/4 - 20 mA

Deposits and corrosion in water with a pH level < 4.0

NOTE
In water with a pH level < 4, deposits or corrosion can occur on the
magnetic valve in the valve block located on the measured chamber.
®
In this case, you can order the Testomat ECO with a different valve
block (Art. No. 40018). This magnetic valve is not affected by media,
and improves the service life.

Limit value monitoring

It is possible to program the limit values on a continuous scale. The
limit value range depends on the used indicator type and the pro-
grammed unit. It is possible to monitor two limit values. One limit
value output is available for each limit value. The functions of the
allocated relay outputs can be programmed independently of each
other.

The limit value outputs are strictly allocated to the limit values!
Monitoring of two
limit values 1 LV1 = Limit value 1 2 LV2 = Limit value 2

If the limit value LV1 has been exceeded, the limit value control dis-
play 1 lights up RED and the relay output LV1 reacts as pro-
grammed in the switch function. If the limit value has not been ex-
ceeded, the display lights up GREEN. The same applies for the limit
value LV2.

With a hysteresis of "2", the next analysis is immediately carried out
when the limit value of this analysis has been exceeded for the first

If the measured value exceeds the limit value LV1 or LV2, the rele-

The respective output always remains switched for the set time, irre-
spective of how long the limit value has been exceeded. A new im-
pulse is only possible once the value has fallen below the limit value!

Switch function 2, interval

If the limit value has been exceeded, the respective output switches
at intervals with the settable time (t) = impulse or interval as long as
the limit value is exceeded. The switching on time and the interval are
the same.

Switch function 3, two-point

If the upper limit value LV1 has been exceeded, the output relay LV1
switches. If the value falls below the lower limit value LV2, the output
relay LV1 drops out again. The output relay LV2 switches according
to the programmed switch function.

BOB operation (operation without permanent

supervision)
Operation without permanent supervision is a safety relevant feature
when using the instrument as a water hardness monitoring unit for
monitoring steam boiler plants in accordance with TRD 604.
If the BOB function has been programmed, the instrument continu-
ously checks the available amount of indicator. A measuring value of
0.083 °dH (= 0.015 mmol/l alkaline earth ions) is decisive for the cal-
culation of indicator consumption per analysis. If the residual amount
is insufficient for the BOB period of 72 hours, an alarm message is
output.

falls below the minimum quantity for the BOB time period: BOB flash-
es, the ALARM output is switched.
BOB off: No BOB function. Monitoring of the residual amount of
indicator only to minimum quantity (filling level 10%)
Example:
BOB time period = 72 hours Number of analyses per hour = 10
Required amount of indicator for 72 h = 72 h x 10 analyses/h x (3 x
30) μl/analysis = 64.8 ml.

tle)

An active Stop input prevents an analysis start, e.g. via a current

interval. This can be necessary if the plant does not supply water. A
current analysis is stopped when the input valve is opened (while the
measuring chamber is being flushed or filled). The water which has
already entered the measuring chamber remains there. If the meas-
uring chamber is already full, the analysis is executed. Manual start
has priority over the Stop input, i.e. if the Stop input is active, an
analysis can be started manually or a manually started analysis can-
not be stopped by the stop signal. In the operating mode “time-
controlled”, the interval time continues when the Stop input has been
activated.
