57050op_stop.fm OPERATION
Section 1 General Description
The 2200 PCX Instrument is supplied with a local display of particle counts. If
you are operating the 2200 PCX Instrument in “AUTO” (stand-alone) mode or
with the Vista data collection software program, the 2200 PCX Instrument with
Local Display indicates the "normalized" count (counts/mL) based on the
selected size range, count period, and flow rate. These parameters are either
set in the 2200 PCX Instrument or set by the data collection software.
When operating the 2200 PCX Instrument with Vista data collection software,
or in manual mode, the display gives the total counts over the size range and
count period selected in the 2200 PCX Instrument. This displayed information
is useful in working areas where a quick check of “localized” counts at
selected stations is needed in detecting filter problems.
Particle removal information is collected from 1 to 32 size ranges from

2 to 250 µm. These size ranges can be easily changed (re-programmed)
based on state or federal regulations, or to mimic sizes corresponding to
Giardia or Cryptosporidium. The system also records signals from other
devices measuring turbidity, sample flow rate, pH, and more.
Expansion is available by connecting additional sensors into the computer-

based data acquisition system. See Figure 3.
Figure 1 shows a typical system using the on-line particle counting sensors
(2200 PCX Instrument) with power supply (NEMA-enclosure is optional),
a controlling computer and Vista Windows-based software.

2200 PCX
Particle Counter
Hach’s laser-diode-based particle counting sensors are specifically designed

for drinking water applications. Water is directed into the sensor and passes
through an optical flow cell measuring 750 x 750 microns. Each particle that
passes through the sensor generates a signal corresponding to its size.
Page 9
57050desc.fm General Description
General Description, continued
Each sensor comes with a calibration curve showing the signal response
versus size of each particle. Hach uses NIST-traceable spheres of
defined size to calibrate each sensor. Calibration information is stored in
sensor memory, and is used to separate the particle counts into the proper
size category.
1.1 Interpreting the Front Panel

The clear front panel of the NEMA 4X-rated enclosure (shown in Figure 2) is
designed for easy viewing of diagnostic LEDs as well as the local particle
count display. Refer to Table 1.

Plumbing connections involve connecting the particle sensor and a flow

controller to the water system. See Figure 6.
The most important part of connecting the plumbing is tapping the best
sampling location in the water system. A good sampling location ensures a
meaningful measurement. Listed below are guidelines for tapping the best
location. Refer also to Figure 7.
• Minimize the distance from the tap to the sensor.
• Tap in a location that can supply 300 – 500 mL/min. flow with four feet of
head above the elevation of the sensor.
• Tap upstream of a pressure reduction valve or a point where the plumbing

becomes larger. These locations tend to create bubbles that can be
erroneously counted as particles.
• Tap 18 inches downstream of a bend in the plumbing. Bends create

turbulence, which mixes the particles—resulting in uniform particle-size
distribution. The 18" distance from the bend restores an even flow,
ensuring complete mixing while reducing particle settling.
• Tap a location with a high flow rate to keep heavy particles suspended.
• Tap the pipe as shown in Figure 7 to avoid air or sediment contamination

of the sample.

2.1.1 Plumbing Connections
Use the following procedure and Figure 8 to plumb the water source to the
Water Weir Controller and 2200 PCX Instrument.
1. Install a separate plumbing tap, including a shut-off valve, for the

2200 PCX Instrument.
2. Install a quick-disconnect fitting on the plumbing tap. A white compression

fitting for ¼" tubing is provided. Use the appropriate adaptors to install
this fitting.
3. Install one end of the ¼" black semi-rigid tubing in the quick-disconnect
fitting as shown below. A 10-foot length of this tubing is provided with the
Water Weir.
Note: Do not lengthen the tubing. Tubing lengths longer than 10 feet will cause the
larger particles to "drop out" of the sample, distorting the accuracy of the particle
size reading.
Figure 8 Installing a Quick Disconnect Fitting on the Tubing
4. Route the black semi-rigid tubing (already installed in Water Weir) to the
water source; connect tubing to the source.
5. Install an 18" long piece of ¼" flexible tubing (provided with Water Weir) in
the Water Weir outlet. Attach to fitting as shown in Figure 8.
6. Attach quick-disconnect fitting to other end of tubing in step 5 then fasten

tubing to sensor inlet port. See Figure 11.
Page 19
7. Attach quick-disconnect fitting to another 12 inch long piece of ¼-inch

flexible tubing then insert into particle sensor outlet port.
8. Place other end of tubing in step 7 into Water Weir return, see Figure 9.
9. Install drain line on Water Weir. Slip clear ½-inch I.D. hose over barbed
fitting on Water Weir drain and route to appropriate drain.
10. Open shut-off valve on plumbing tap and check for leaks.

2.1.2 Adjusting the Flow Rate
Adjust the flow rate of the Water Weir for 100 mL/min. Flow rate is adjusted
by changing the head. Refer to the instructions below and Figure 10 and
Figure 11.
1. Move the white cap up to lower the head/flow; move it down to increase
the head/flow. For the Model 2200 PCX Instrument, 33" from the overflow
to the white cap is about 100-mL/min flow. Moving the cap one vertical
inch changes the flow rate about one or two milliliters per minute.
2. Measure the flow for one full minute into a 200 mL graduated cylinder.
Record the result as mL/min.
3. Adjust flow as in step 1 if necessary and remeasure.
Note: The more accurately you set the flow, the more accurate the resulting count
concentration data.

4. Allow the water to flow through the system for 24 hours before recording
measurements. New plastic tubing can “shed” particles for the first
several hours of use. These particles could affect the accuracy of the
particle count readings.
If the optional NEMA-rated power supply was ordered with the on-line sensor,
all primary AC power can be physically isolated from areas that contain
flowing water. The power supply is housed in a NEMA enclosure, which
should be wired by certified/licensed electricians in accordance with all
applicable laws and codes.
Figure 11 Positioning the Sensor Outlet Tube in the Flow Adjustment Cap
Cut the end of this

tube straight across.
Point the tubing straight down.

Extend the tube no more than ¼″ inside the cap.
Page 21
2.1.3 Electrical Connections
Proper fusing and power interruption means must be provided on site. If AC

power is wired in conduit, provide a local disconnect next to the instrument.
Some programming functions require the power to be cycled.
Mount the AC power supply enclosure above flood stage areas. The sensor is
shipped with the cable wired between the AC power supply and the sensor.
An optional NEMA-rated power supply is available. See Figure 12 for
connection information.
The 2200 PCX sensor features serial RS-485 data communication.

An RS485 serial network provides asynchronous communications between
multiple sensors and a controlling computer. The total distance from the
RS232 to RS485 converter to the farthest sensor may be up to 4000 feet
without an amplifier/repeater.
The use of a junction box allows a 2200 PCX Instrument to be brought to the
site and plugged into the J-box for sampling, then disconnected and moved to
another site. See Figure 17.
2.1.4 Connecting Multiple Sensors
A typical connection of multiple sensors is described below. The example

presented describes the connection of two sensors. Refer to Figure 13 and
the instructions below.
1. Route RS485 cable between the RS232 to RS485 converter and PCX #1
(do not connect wiring at this time). Use RS485-type shielded,
low-capacitance twisted-pair cable (Belden PN 9841 or equivalent).
2. Assuming power supplies have been wired to the 2200 PCX Instruments
(described earlier), verify that line power to power supply and line power
to RS-232 to RS-485 converter have been disconnected.
3. Dress cable wires at both ends of the cable; at the RS232 to

RS485 converter end, connect the white wire to the terminal location
marked "A", attach the blue wire to the terminal marked "B", and attach
the shield to "S".
4. At PCX #1, run cable through a liquid-tight bulkhead fitting then connect
blue wire to terminal lug marked "485B". Connect white wire to terminal
lug marked "485A". Connect shield to "SGND". If using optional J-box
(see description above), wire into the line as described in Section 2.3 on
page 28.
5. To connect another 2200 PCX Instrument to the system, dress cable

wires at both ends of the cable then route cable through a second PCX #1
bulkhead fitting and to a bulkhead fitting of PCX #2.
6. Connect blue wire to terminal lug marked "485B" at both ends of the
cable; connect white wire to terminal lug marked "485A", and shield to
"SGND" at both ends of the cable.
7. Repeat step 4 through step 6 above for each remaining 2200

PCX Instrument.
Page 22
8. For the last 2200 PCX Instrument in the string, set jumper JP1 (located in
lower left corner of the box) so that two pins are shorted together, see
Figure 13. Close and secure the cover and reconnect power disconnected
in step 2 above.
Note: Leave jumper JP1 open (not terminated) in all instruments except the last one.

turbidimeters and flow meters. Connect and analyze analog signals of any
combination of 4 to 20 mA and 0 to +5 V (or 0 to +10V) inputs simultaneously.
See Figure 15 and Figure 16.

Use the following operating configuration to enable the two desired analog
inputs:
If inputs are voltage:
• Select +5V full scale by removing jumper JP2 through JP7 corresponding
to the input being used (AIN2 through AIN7).
• Select +10V full scale by installing jumper JP2 through JP7,

corresponding to the input being used (AIN2 through AIN7).
• Configure voltage inputs to accept 4-20mA inputs by connecting a

250 ohm, 1% (or better) shunt resistor in parallel with the analog signal
cable and setting the appropriate jumper for 5 V operation. See Figure 14.
Figure 14 Voltage Inputs

If inputs are current (4-20 mA):
• Use IN0 (RET0 is ground) and IN1 (RET1 is ground) on 2200 PCX
Instrument Interconnect Card. The incoming data is sent along with
particle count data, via serial communications, to the computer where it is
displayed and recorded (when on-line software is being used). Connect
analog inputs from external devices to the 2200 PCX Instrument
interconnect card as shown in step 16.
Each sensor can also provide up to eight 4 to 20 mA analog outputs of

particle count data if the optional I/O kit is installed. The 4 to 20 mA output
levels are proportional to the total number of particles counted during the
sample period. This output data is also communicated over the network to the
computer for display and recording (when on-line software is being used).
Each size category will have a unique analog output signal and will interface
to an individual analog input on corresponding data acquisition system input
terminals. Analog outputs are connected to the 2200 PCX Instrument
interconnect card similar to the example shown below.

3.2 Setting Up Analog Inputs to the Sensor and Analog Outputs

from the Sensor
3.2.1 Setting Up Analog Inputs
The 2200 PCX sensor equipped with an analog I/O card will permit
connection of up to eight (8) analog inputs from other devices. Two of the
inputs, IN0/RET0 and IN1/RET1, are configured for 4-20 mA inputs. Analog
inputs AIN2 through AIN7 are configured as either 0–5 V or 0–10 V inputs.
AIN 2–7 use a common ground connection, AINGND. Select 0–5 V or 0–10 V
operation by properly setting jumpers JP2 through JP7 on the analog board.
See Figure 14 on page 25 for proper jumper settings. Configure jumpers for
4-20 mA inputs by setting the inputs for 0–5 V operation then installing a 250
ohm, 1% (or better) shunt resistor between AIN 2, for example, and AINGND.
Note: If this option does not appear, When the analog input connections are made, the analog inputs can be set up

not in use.
3.2.2 Setting Up the Analog Outputs
Up to eight analog output signals of particle count data can be configured for
2200 PCX sensors equipped with the analog I/O card. Connections for analog
outputs are labeled OUT0 through OUT7. Grounds for all analog outputs are
made to I-RET. All of these outputs are configured as 4-20 mA outputs. See
Figure 16 on page 27.
The analog particle count outputs are independent of the digital outputs via
the RS485 connection to the Vista software package.
The first step in setting up the analog outputs is to determine the proper count
period. For raw water or filter influent samples, it is recommended that a count
period between 6 and 15 seconds be set. For filter effluent samples, a count
period between 30 seconds and one minute be set. Set the count period in
the Main Menu, see Section 3.1 on page 29.
Note: If the digital RS485 signal is Once the count period has been determined and set, the output channels

during configuration programming.
Page 32
Setting Up Analog Inputs to the Sensor and Analog Outputs from the Sensor 57050config.fm
The analog outputs can be configured for cumulative or differential count

formats in any combination. One output can be configured for cumulative and
another for differential if desired. Generally, setting all outputs as cumulative
counts will provide the greatest flexibility. This will be discussed in greater
detail below.
Use the blank table on page 37 as a work sheet when determining how the
analog output channels are to be set. Follow the instructions in Section 3.1.1,
step 6, to set the lower and upper size for a channel. Some calculations must
be performed to determine the proper setting for the Full Scale value, see
Section 3.2.3, below.
3.2.3 Determining the Full Scale Value

Full Scale (FS) = Counts/mL x mL sample
mL Sample = 100 mL/min* x count period (in minutes)
or = 100 mL/60 seconds x count period (in seconds)
Table 3 Sample Size Reference Table (assuming flow of 100 mL/min.)

Count Period (seconds) Sample Size (mL) Count Period (seconds) Sample Size (mL)
6 10 24 40
12 20 30 50
15 25 48 80
18 30 60 100
Counts/mL must be less than or equal to 17,000 counts/mL, this is the

concentration limit of the 2200 PCX sensor. The value used for counts/mL
should be as small as is practical for the sample to be measured.
Select the maximum counts/mL by considering the resolution of the
analog output signal.
Determine the full scale value by estimating the maximum cumulative particle
counts at the sensitivity of the instrument, >2 µm. Once that is determined,
calculate the estimated full scale value for other channels by using the
appropriate divisor from the tables below:
Table 4 Divisors for determining full scale values

Divide FS value for >2 µm by: Divide FS value for >2 µm by:
>3 µm 3.4 >9 µm 90
>4 µm 8 >10 µm 125
>5 µm 15.6 >11 µm 166
>6 µm 27 >12 µm 216
>7 µm 43 >14 µm 343
>8 µm 64 >15 µm 422
To estimate divisors for values not shown in the table use the
following formula:
Divisor = (Size/2)3.
For example, the divisor for >18 µm is (18/2) 3 = 729
* The recommended flow rate for the 2200 PCX is 100 mL/min ±5%. This flow rate should be used whenever possible.
Page 33
3.2.4 Understanding the 4-20 mA Output Signal
The 4-20 mA output signal is divided into 4,096 steps where a signal of 4 mA
will equal zero particles/mL and 20 mA will equal the full scale (FS) value. If
the full scale value is set too high, the resolution of the analog output signal
will be poor. For example, if the maximum concentration of the sensor, 17000,
is selected, then smallest increment of counts that will be recorded is 4.15
particles/mL (17,000/4,096). This may be sufficient signal resolution for raw
water, but may be insufficient for filter effluent.
If filter effluent never exceeds, for example, 1000 counts/mL, then resolution
of the analog output signal will be to the nearest 0.24 particles/mL
(1,000/4,096).
Setting Cumulative or Differential Modes
Setting the analog particle count outputs as cumulative channels will minimize
the number of channels that must be set and also provide the maximum
amount of flexibility.
For example, one set four differential channels:
CH0 = 2-5 µm, CH1 = 5-7 µm, CH2 = 7-10 µm, and CH3 = 10-15 µm.
Much more can be achieved if the channels are set to be cumulative instead.
For example:
CH0 = >2µm, CH1 = >5µm, CH2 = >7µm and CH3 = >10µm.
Then, once values are received at the SCADA, values can be subtracted to
create other combinations.
To achieve differential data as 2-5µm, program the SCADA to subtract

the value in CH1 from CH0. A total of ten distinctly different values can
be achieved:
Table 5 Calculating Differential Values From Cumulative Values
CH 0 >2 µm
CH 0 - CH 1 = 2-5 µm
CH 1 >5 µm CH 0 - CH 2 = 2-7 µm
CH 1 - CH 2 = 5-7 µm CH 0 - CH 3 = 2-10 µm
CH 2 >7 µm CH 1 - CH 3 = 5-10 µm
CH 2 - CH 3 = 7-10 µm
CH 3 >10 µm
Page 34
Setting Up Analog Inputs to the Sensor and Analog Outputs from the Sensor 57050config.fm
3.2.5 Calculation at the SCADA
Once each analog output is defined for lower limit, upper limit, and full scale,
the SCADA programmer must be informed as to how the information is to be
handled. For each channel, the channel range and label must be defined,
along with the lower and upper limit signal values and the divisor to apply to
the upper limit value. In all cases, the lower limit signal (4 mA) will be 0 (zero)
particles, the upper limit signal (20 mA) will be equal to the full scale value.
The full scale value must then be divided by the sample volume (mL sample).
For example: Assume a sample flow rate of 100 mL/min, a count period
of 30 seconds, resulting in a sample volume of 50 mL. Assume also a
maximum expected particle count of 1000 particles/mL.
Then, FS value = 1000 particles/mL X 50 mL = 50,000 CH0 set to cumulative

particle counts > 2 µm, then:

Section 4 Serial Port Protocol and Commands
This section describes 2200 PCX Instrument operation using a computer and
Vista Software. The Vista Software was designed to control 2200 PCX
Instrument operation using a computer and to download count data into
computer memory. If you are not using Vista, the information on the
following pages will still help you understand operation of the particle counter
with a computer.
Your particle counter has been set up for one of two serial data
communications capabilities: 1) RS232 serial interface circuitry provides for
using Vista Software and a computer to control a counter, or 2) RS485 serial
network circuitry provides asynchronous communications between multiple
counters and a controlling computer.
4.1 Communication Protocol

The 2200 PCX Instrument has the following fixed settings for serial
communications:
Eight(8) data bits No parity

One(1) stop bit9600 baud (RS232)
The Device Select [= 128 (ID# = 00)—equivalent to Vista sensor 01] mode is
selectable by means of a computer. This value can be changed as described
in Changing Operating Configuration on page 29.
4.2 Command and Data Syntax

The 2200 PCX Instrument responds to ASCII commands and sends a data
record that varies in length based on content. The command and data syntax
is defined below.
Commands
The following ASCII commands described below are supported by the particle
counter and are case sensitive (lower-case letter is a different command from
an upper-case letter):
“c” Start Counting (computer controlled): The counter will begin counting
without waiting for an even second boundary (quick start). Counting will
continue until stopped by the computer. The count cycle should be controlled
by the computer.
“d” Start Counting (counter controlled): The counter will begin counting
and control the count cycle based on the front-panel setting for period
(sample time).

“K” Sensor Cal Curve: The calibration curve will be placed (or verified)
in memory.
“M” Mode Request: The counter will send its present mode. If counting, a
“C” will be sent. If holding, an “H” will be sent. If stopped, an “S” will be sent.
“P” Program Sizes: The program size labels will be placed (or verified)
in memory.
“T” Identify Model: The counter will send a four character model number
(e.g., PCX[space]).
“A” Send Record: The next record in the rotating buffer will be sent. When
the rotating buffer is empty, a “#” will be sent. Each record is erased from the
buffer as it is sent.
If no count cycles have been completed since the counter was turned on,
then a “#” will be sent. The record can not be sent until the current count cycle
is complete.
“R” Resend Record: The last record sent will be resent. Records sent prior
to the last record have been permanently erased.
“l” Local Mode: (for factory test purposes) The counter will be set to off-line.
“U” Universal Select: The counter will respond to all commands after
receiving this command, regardless of which select code is programmed into
the counter.
“128 to 191” Counter Select: The counter will respond to all subsequent
commands when a number is sent that matches its select code, i.e. sending a
number between 128 (corresponding to ID# 00) and 191 (corresponding to
ID# 63). The counter is deselected, or made unresponsive to computer
commands, by selecting another counter.
Command Responses: The 2200 PCX Instrument will respond to all

commands and select codes by sending the command character back to the
computer. If the 2200 PCX Instrument does not recognize a command, it will
send a “?” character. If the computer is asking for a record from an empty
buffer, the 2200 PCX Instrument will send a “#” character. If the computer is
asking for a record that has already been sent, the 2200 PCX Instrument will
send a “#” character unless the computer uses the Resend Record command.
The 2200 PCX Instrument will not send any command characters if a parity or
framing error occurs.
Data: Each counter can send a stream of its data records. Data records are
strings of ASCII characters separated by end-of-record characters. Each data
record begins with 20 characters of Counter Data. The remainder of the data
record consists of Count Data for each of the six particle size ranges, Analog
Input Fields data (up to eight: two 4-20 mA, six 0-5V [in mV]—Vista supports
two inputs total), Calibration number (sensor calibration voltage in mV),
Location number that was assigned to this counter, and a Checksum
(hexadecimal number) for testing accuracy of the data transmission.
Page 40
Command and Data Syntax 57050serial.fm
The length of the string may change with the number of data points—count
channels and analog inputs—available from the counter. Each data point
consists of a three-character tag that identifies the type of data and six data
characters, separated by spaces.
In Table 6 bold characters represent a data record showing the serial

communications format of a 2200 PCX Instrument with six size ranges and
two analog inputs. The analog inputs are tagged with AN0 (dc current level
from flow controller) and AN1 (dc current level from turbidimeter).

Status: When translated to a binary byte, this character will indicate the
status of the 2200 PCX Instrument. For example, the ASCII character “$” has
a decimal value of 36, which when converted to a binary byte sets the 3rd and
6th bits:

Page 41
57050serial.fm Command and Data Syntax
In this example the ASCII character “$” translates to a status byte that is
indicating a “Count Alarm”.
Date: Date information is carried in the 3rd through 8th characters of the
record. The 2nd character is always a space, to separate the status character
from the date characters. The date is arranged as MMDDYY (Month Day
Year). The example in Table 6 shows the date as August 1, 1993, the day the
2200 PCX Instrument collected the data in the record.
Time: Time information is carried in the 10th through the 15th characters of
the record. The 9th character is always a space, to separate the date from the
time. The time is arranged as HHMMSS (Hours Minutes Seconds) military
time. In the example on the preceding page, the time is 8:13 A.M. and
50 seconds.
Period: The period is the sample time, or the length of counting time. The
period information is carried in the 17th through 20th characters. The 16th
character is always a space, to separate the time in the 17th through 20th
characters. The period is presented in minutes and seconds. In the example
above the period was 6 seconds. When the period is controlled by the
computer (e command), the period characters will be zeros. When the period
(sample time) is controlled by the 2200 PCX Instrument (d command), the
period characters will represent the sample time.
Data 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6: These characters contain data from the different

programmed 2200 PCX Instrument size ranges. Each data value is preceded
by a three-character tag that identifies the size range of data that follows.
The tags and data are each preceded by a space character for separation.
The record will contain as many tag/data elements as required (a minimum of
seven and a maximum of ten).
Tags: The tags contain three characters that identify the type of data that will
follow. If the data is a particle count, the tag will indicate the particle size.
In the example above the first tag indicates that particle count data follows for
the 2.0 micron particle size range. The record data will be in the following
units of measure:
Particle Counts....counts
Analog Inputs......millivolts
Data: The data are six numeric characters, preceded by a space.
Checksum: The sum of the ASCII value of each character in the data string.
Used for testing accuracy of data transmission.
End of Message: The end of message characters will immediately follow the
last tag/data element. There will be no separating space. The end of message
characters are a carriage return and line feed.

Section 5 Maintenance
5.1 Cleaning the Sensor

Each on-line sensor contains a cell assembly that channels water through the
laser beam. Occasionally, this cell may become dirty (or develop a film
coating), affecting the normal calibration of the sensor. If this occurs, the
Calibration Fail indicator (LED on the front of the unit) will illuminate. Cleaning
the sensor may be accomplished without opening the NEMA enclosure.
Note: Handle all chemical solutions Hach sensors are designed to make maintenance quick and easy. Hach
with care. Hach recommends use of particle counting sensors are designed to be cleaned with a specially
rubber gloves and goggles when designed brush. The cell of the sensor is constructed of material that is harder
handling all cleaning solutions. Treat than the brush bristles; hence, the brush will not scratch or otherwise damage
all chemical solutions with respect. the cell.
A variety of dilute non-abrasive cleaning solutions may be used; never

use concentrated acids or bases. Concentrated solutions may damage
sensor components.
5.1.1 Cleaning Frequency
Cleaning requirements vary widely. Typically, sensors used to monitor

clean samples such as filter effluent should be cleaned about once per
month. Sensors used to monitor untreated water or clarifier effluent may need
to be cleaned weekly. The best policy is to clean sensors as often as
experience dictates. Excursions of high turbidity, minerals (iron, manganese,
calcium, etc.) and algae or other microbiological growths may increase the
need for cleaning.
5.1.2 Brush Cleaning
Often, a cell becomes dirty when the sample dries out in the flow cell and
leaves small amounts of residue on the flow cell surface. For this reason,
Hach ships liquid particle sensors cleaned and dry. If the Calibration Fail LED
lights, clean the cell using Figure 18 and the procedure below. This procedure
will not damage the cell.
1. Remove the sample line quick-disconnect fitting at the inlet port (bottom)
of the NEMA enclosure. Leave the quick-disconnect connected at the top.
2. Insert the cleaning brush up through the bottom flow path as shown
in Figure 18. Use a gentle laboratory cleaning solution to enhance the
cleaning and lubricate the brush/cell. Gently insert the brush and twirl
it as it is being inserted into the bottom fitting. It will bottom out to a stop.
Repeat several times, then reconnect the inlet flow connector to flush
the cell.
3. Observe the Calibration Fail indicator. The indicator should go off within a
few seconds.
4. If the Calibration Fail indicator remains on, perform the stain cleaning
procedure in Section 5.1.3 or contact the Hach Customer Service
Department.
Page 43
57050maintenance.fm Maintenance
Maintenance, continued
5.1.3 Stain Cleaning
If brush cleaning is unsuccessful in restoring the sample cell and resolving the
Calibration Fail condition, then the cell may have been chemically stained.
Disconnect the particle sensor from the normal on-line flow path and
chemically dissolve the stain as follows:
• For microbiological (green) growths, soak the cell with 30 to 50 mL of 70%

or 90% isopropyl alcohol.
Dilute solutions of household chlorine bleach (5.25% available chlorine)

also may be used. Dilute the bleach approximately 1:1000 (1mL bleach to
1 liter of water) to prepare a 50 mg/L cleaning solution. Stronger bleach
solutions may be used to remove severe growths. Soak the cell with 30 to
50 mL of the bleach solution. Rinse with clean water.
• For red mineral deposits (iron, etc.), soak the cell with an iron reducing
agent (Hach RoVer®) then flush the cell with water.
• For calcium (white) deposits, soak the cell with white vinegar or
phosphoric acid then flush the cell with water.
• For mild manganese stains (purple or black), soak the cell with a solution
(by volume) of 1/3 water, 1/3 white vinegar, and 1/3 hydrogen peroxide;
flush the cell with water.
• For severe manganese stains, soak the cell with a solution by volume of
70% white vinegar and 30% hydrogen peroxide (3% strength).
Reconnect the sensor to the flow path. Check the cell condition indicator with
a fully wetted cell. If the cell indicator remains on, try the chemical soak using
one of the other solutions discussed above, or try soaking for a longer period
of time. Contact Hach Customer Service for additional recommendations.

5.2 Long-term Storage or Shipping

Clean the sensor thoroughly prior to long-term storage or shipment.
“Long-term” storage is defined as a period of time longer than two weeks.
Do not leave water in the sensor; water spots could develop on the cell
windows and may be difficult to remove. Water left in the cell during storage or
shipment in cold weather may freeze and cause severe damage to the sensor.
To prepare the sensor for long-term storage or shipping, clean the sensor with
appropriate cleaning solutions (see Section 5.1). Then, flush approximately
30 mL of isopropyl alcohol through the sensor to remove any remaining water.
Page 45
57050maintenance.fm Long-term Storage or Shipping
5.3 Replacing or Removing the Sensor Flow Cell

The particle counter sensor has a field-replaceable sample cell. If the cell
becomes damaged or coated with a substance that cleaning solutions will not
remove, the sample cell can be replaced and calibration is not affected.
The replacement must be done carefully and correctly to avoid

damage to the sensor. Please contact Hach Service Department for
replacement information.
5.4 Tubing Replacement

The 2200 PCX sensor is supplied with tubing that has been specially selected
to minimize accumulation of dirt and mineral deposits. Replace it only with the
same tubing size and type.
Change tubing as often as is necessary, depending on your sample

conditions. Typically, for treated water samples (filter effluent) change the
tubing once per year. For sensors used to monitor clarifier effluent, change
the tubing every six months. For sensors used to monitor untreated water,
replace the tubing on an approximately three-month interval.
