4. Measuring principle
This module monitors by Constant incident light
Irradiated on liquid surface ， The receiving chip will
dynamically measure the chroma of water 。 If the
water is turbid, it may affect the measurement
accuracy ， It is recommended to filter and clean
before entering water。

5. Structural features
Outline structure and installation instructions of
Online Color Meter，As shown in the figure below。

Outlet solenoid valve

Careful：
1. Connect the water inlet hose at the lower end of
the
4
 Operating instructions for SD Series Online Color Meter

measuring sensor. If the water supply is intermittent,

please install a one-way check valve at the water inlet
to prevent no water sample from being collected at
the
measuring end, and the measured value will rise to
full
scale.e
2. Connect the water outlet hose at the upper end of
the measuring sensor. The electromagnetic valve
prepared by the manufacturer has been installed at
this water outlet. The valve is normally closed and
the
starting time can be set.

and second can be set。

7.7. Instrument calibration

When the deviation of the detected value is large, the instrument

can be corrected
Zero adjustment
1. In circulation ， Connect clean water for zero
adjustment
2. Enter the instrument calibration screen，Press
on the operation panel ，When the cursor flashes
at right-side of zero adjustment "Setup" ， Press the
"OK" key in the middle of the operation panel to
adjust zero ， If the operation is unsuccessful, repeat
the operation。

Sample adjustment
Close the water inlet valve before sample
adjustment and correction ， Pull out the water inlet
quick connect hose，Short the water inlet and outlet
with quick connect hose 。 As shown in the figure
below:

Short connect the water

inlet and outlet with
hose

1. Open the cleaning port ， Pour in the full-scale

standard sample solution provided by the
manufacturer when leaving the factory ， Close the
cleaning cover。
2. Enter the instrument calibration screen，Press
on the operation panel ，When the cursor flashes
at right-side of zero adjustment "Setup" ， Press the
"OK" key in the middle of the operation panel to
14
 Operating instructions for SD Series Online Color Meter

sample adjust ， If the operation is unsuccessful,

repeat the operation。
During zero adjustment or sample adjustment，It
is recommended to pour clean water or sample
solution for many times ， Reduce the influence of
residual liquid on correction results。
Recovery of standard sample solution
After the completion of sample adjustment and correction, the
standard sample solution shall be recovered to the sample solution
bottle for reuse in the next sample adjustment. The operation is
shown in the figure below:
(1). Pull out the hose head at the rear end of the
water outlet solenoid valve and align it with the
opening of the sample solution bottle。
(2). Open the upper cleaning port cover, let the
standard solution in the glass tube flow back to the
sample solution bottle, and cover the cleaning
cover。
After the above operations are
completed, connect the inlet and outlet
pipes according to the normal
installation and start the
measurement。

8. Routine maintenance
Generally, the instrument has been calibrated
before leaving the factory, and the user can put it
into use directly。
Maintain ： The following operations must be
carried out in case of power failure。

16
 Operating instructions for SD Series Online Color Meter

1 、 Check whether the wiring is correct when

using the instrument for the first time。
2 、 If you found that the measurement error is
too large or the measurement value keeps rising
and will not return to the original valuewhen it is
used for a long time，Please turn off the water inflow
， Unscrewing the cleaning port ， Please Manual
cleaning。
3 、 Do not remove the instrument ， In order to
avoid affecting or damaging the performance of the
instrument, keep the instrument dry and tidy。

Manual cleaning method：

Step 1 ： Turn off Power off, close the water
inflow valve。
Step 2 ： Open the upper cleaning seal
cover ， Carefully clean the inner wall of the
measuring glass tube with a brush （ Pay
attention not to overflow the water from the
cleaning port, which will cause the water to
seep into the circuit board of the measuring
tank）。
Step 3 ： Repeat the second step repeatedly

17
 Operating instructions for SD Series Online Color Meter

until the colored substance adhering to the

inner wall of the glass tube is removed。
Step 4 ： Cover the measuring box, clean the
sealing cover, and power on。

9. Matters needing attention

● The first start-up of the system takes 3 minutes

to warm up 。

● Incoming line voltage must be within the

allowable range ， Wiring of incoming terminal

must be firm and reliable

● It is strictly prohibited to use in places with

explosion, flammability, corrosion of metal,

damage of insulation and steam。

● This test method is a national standard platinum cobalt

colorimetry, which can not necessarily meet the needs of on-site

chroma. It is suggested that the darkest color solution on site can
be used as the standard solution for sample mixing according to
the actual situation.

● There are bubbles on the inner wall of the measuring tank, which

will cause the measurement value to be wrong or rise

continuously. It is suggested to increase the water inflow and
reduce the water outflow so as to generate pressure in the
measuring pipe and make the bubble burst。
18
 Operating instructions for SD Series Online Color Meter

● Due to different manufacturers and different

components of sewage, colored substances adhere

to the inner wall of the measuring pipe, and the
cleaning interval and frequency depend on the
specific situation of the site。

● Keep the ventilation and dry environment, condensation will

occur in the humid environment, and the adhesion to the outer

wall of the measuring tank will cause the measurement value to
increase。

● Do not disassemble the right measuring tank

without the technical support of the

manufacturer。
