Agitator:The optional agitator is a device which screws on to the sensor and causes water to flowpast the tip at the proper rate. It stays with the sensor to continuously ensure accurate results. Theunit is pressure-proofed for operation to 150 ft. depths.Fastmovingwater:When analyzing fast moving water from rivers, streams, pipes, or conduitsthe water flow may be sufficient for accurate reading. Face the membrane tip of the sensor directlyinto the flow.Make sure that at least one inch of the sensor tip is completely and continuallysubmerged. The flow should be at least 1 ft. per second. Water flow is sufficient if swishing thesensor rapidly in the water does not cause the readings to move upscale further.CALIBRATIONPrior to sensor and electronic circuit adjustment, please take time to read this brief circuit description.The Model 924 analyzer electronic circuitry consists of: (See Block Diagram Fig. 1)MOTHERBOARDFig. 9The Motherboard provides interconnections between the input connector board, the power supply board, theseveral option boards, and the processor/display board. In drawing 30998 the various input and output signalsare identified by number.POWERSUPPLYBOARDFig. 10The power supply employs linear regulators to provide plus and minus 15 volts and a switching regulator tosupply up to one ampere at five volts. The transformer has a dual primary which may be jumpered for 110 or220 volt ac lines. The transformer secondary used to supply ac to the minus 15-volt regulator also supplies 18VAC to the current output board.PROCESSOR/DISPLAYBOARDFig. 11The processor/display board is mounted on hinged stand-offs to allow access to the other circuit boards. Whenthe instrument is turned on, it initiates a series of self-checks.1)The ROM is summed and the result compared to a stored checksum. If this comparison fails, it meansthe ROM contents have changed and the ROM is unusable. In case of checksum failure the errormessage H001 is displayed, and the program is restarted.2)All locations of RAM are given a read/write check to insure that all locations may be written and read,and that writing affects only the location being written. Failure means the instrument is inoperable. Incase of RAM failure the error message H003 is displayed, and the program is restarted.12
