1 Introduction

The Anatel A643a TOC Analyzer, a recent generation of on-line instrumentation, are designed
to specifically address pharmaceutical industry needs. Building on the proven success of Hach
Ultra’s line of TOC Analyzers, the Anatel A643a–S and Anatel A643a–P Analyzers offer
measurement capabilities which meet the requirements of the United States Pharmacopeia
(USP). Typical Anatel A643a applications include on-line organic contamination detection in
pharmaceutical water systems as well as the convenience of being able to perform TOC
analyses in the laboratory.
The Anatel A643a Analyzer System integrates analytical Sensors with managing Controllers
in a wide range of configurations that afford maximum flexibility to address a wide range of
process requirements. Multiple Anatel A643a Analyzers can be associated with a single
C80 Controller to observe several process points from one location. Alternatively, multiple
Controllers can be networked to display Anatel A643a readings at several locations.

RPS - June 2007 - Edition 12

Anatel Operator Manual

14 of 220 Introduction - Anatel A643a

1.1 The Anatel A643a TOC Analysis System

The Anatel A643a TOC Analysis System is comprised of the following components:
Anatel A643a–S (Stationary) Analyzer
This permanently mounted instrument is the standard Anatel
A643a analysis device. Its 1-line by 16-character display visually
reports the instrument’s current values. In conjunction with a C80
Controller, it can be networked with other Analyzers to perform
multiple TOC measurements. Or, a single Anatel A643a–S
Analyzer can be linked to as many as eight C80 Controllers to offer
data display and operational control from multiple remote sites.

Anatel A643a–P (Portable) Analyzer

The Anatel A643a–P combines the attributes of the Anatel A643a–
S Analyzer with an integral C80 Controller and 40-column thermal
printer to provide total instrument portability with point-of-use
reporting capabilities. The Anatel A643a–P is designed for
maximum flexibility by furnishing spot TOC measurements in
addition to providing local printouts as the data are reported.

C80 Controller
The C80 Controller is the control/display device for the Anatel
A643a Analyzer. The C80 allows operational and reporting
parameters for as many as eight associated Analyzers to be
programmed independently. Its 4-line by 16-character display
communicates such analysis information as current TOC in ppb,
trend, conductivity (or resistivity), temperature and current
operational mode. The alarm status of each active Analyzer is
reported via a corresponding Channel LED.

Printer
A stand-alone version of the thermal printer that is part of the
Anatel A643a–P Analyzer can be connected to any Anatel A643a–
S to provide local printouts.

Heat Exchanger
The Anatel CX-20 Heat Exchanger reduces the temperature of
sample waters that are over 65 °C to an acceptable level for TOC
RPS - June 2007 - Edition 12

analysis. Under most operating conditions, sample water of up to

65 °C can be routed directly to the Anatel A643a for TOC analysis.
For sample water temperatures greater than 65 °C, a heat
exchanger is required for analysis. The CX-20 cools the sample
using a stainless steel tube-fin to provide superior heat transfer
with no possibility for sample contamination.

1.2 Anatel A643a Analyzer Features

Anatel A643a TOC Analyzers offer several unique advantages in the monitoring of ultrapure
water systems:
Calibration and The Anatel A643a Analyzer can be calibrated with from one to three
Validation TOC standards using Anatel’s pre-packaged Calibration Standards.
Calibration and instrument performance can be validated on-line using
Anatel’s Validation Kit.
USP Compliance for The Anatel A643a’s limit response and response efficiency are
Conductivity and calculated on-line automatically to determine compliance with USP
System Suitability TOC Method <643>. Meter accuracy and cell constant also can be
verified on-line to comply with USP Conductivity Method <645>.
Hot Water The Anatel A643a is fully compatible with water temperatures up to
Application 65 °C. For water temperatures from 65 °C to 95 °C, a heat exchanger
is required. The only wetted part in the Anatel Heat Exchanger is 316
RPS - June 2007 - Edition 12

stainless steel tubing.

Anatel Operator Manual

16 of 220 Introduction - Anatel A643a

UV Detect™ UV Detect is an optional feature. Analyzers with UV Detect can be

Technology identified by a UV Detect label on the analyzer housing and a -UV in the
catalog number. UV Detect provides an additional level of diagnostics
to the Anatel A643a analyzer, by continuously monitoring the level of
the ultraviolet (UV) output by the analyzer lamp. When a marginal level
of UV light or failed output is detected diagnostic messages are
provided from the instrument. This feature ensures the TOC output
value is always representative of a sample oxidized with the proper
level of UV.
Individual Alarm TOC levels may be monitored for all connected Anatel A643a
Monitoring Analyzers and compared to user-defined alarm limits for each
instrument. The user is alerted to any limit excursions by the C80
Controller which flashes its LCD display as well as the Sensor’s
corresponding LED. An audible beep or usersupplied external alarm
may be enabled for additional warning. The Anatel A643a also can be
set to alarm at USP recommended uncompensated conductivity levels.
Local Area The ability to link as many as eight Anatel A643a Analyzers to a single
Networking (LAN) C80 Controller provides timely readings of TOC levels even at the most
Capability distant and crucial areas of the water system. The C80 Controller can
be mounted wherever convenient to make the TOC levels at several
key locations immediately available on a single display. Analog, Digital
I/O, Serial and 12 VDC Bias connections allow quick and easy
connection to any external device to further enhance system
capabilities.

1.3 Operational Overview

The Anatel A643a Analyzers employ a patented photocatalytic method which measures the
conductivity of the sample before and after its oxidation by ultraviolet (UV) light. The water
sample is isolated from the ambient environment to eliminate external contamination and the
TOC concentration is determined using an algorithm that measures the change in the sample’s
conductivity. The change in conductivity is a direct function of the amount of organic carbon
present and its oxidation to carbon dioxide (CO2), allowing the TOC content of the sample
water to be calculated.
The results of each sample analysis are digitally displayed on the front panel of the
corresponding Sensor, and its supervisory C80 Controller, as a concentration of TOC in ppb.
Additionally, conductivity (in µS/cm) or resistivity (in MΩ–cm), uncompensated for temperature
or corrected to 25°C, and sample temperature are measured then displayed. A selection of
data printouts is available.
An integral alarm scheme reports any abnormalities detected during Analyzer operation. A
TOC limit (or uncompensated conductivity limit) excursion is automatically output to a printer
and logged for display on associated C80 Controllers.
RPS - June 2007 - Edition 12

Anatel A643a Analyzers also perform ongoing TOC trend analyses to facilitate water quality
management. Each instrument measures the change in TOC over the past hour and reports its
directional trend. By further examining the exact TOC values on a printout, the user can
determine if the trend is critical and respond accordingly.

2 Instrument Installation

2.1 General Information

All models of the Anatel A643a Analyzer are designed to provide a flexible method of
monitoring ultrapure water systems. The basic Anatel A643a–S configuration consists of an
Analyzer and a C80 Controller. These two components are combined with a printer on the
Anatel A643a–P to form a portable analysis system. Additional Analyzers and Controllers can
be integrated to create a local area network (see “Network Installation” on page 39).
This configuration flexibility necessarily affects installation of the Anatel A643a System.
Each Analyzer is furnished with an Installation Kit (Anatel A643a–S: P/N FG2041101; Anatel
A643a–P: P/N FG2041201) and must consider these preparatory and installation issues:

Note that these procedures are common to most, but not all, Anatel A643a components.
The C80 Controller, for example, is built into the portable Anatel A643a–P Analyzer and,
consequently, does not require external communications connections. Conversely, a
Sensor Name cannot be assigned to a stand-alone C80 Controller because it is not integral
to the Anatel A643a–S Analyzer.

2.2 Pre-Installation Procedures

Preliminary setup procedures should be conducted on the Anatel A643a components prior to
installing them on the water system to help assure their proper operation. Verification also is
easier at this stage than when the components have been mounted and cabling has been run.
Suggested pre-installation procedures are:
• Unpacking, visually inspecting the equipment and verifying the packing list.
• Powering up the Analyzer to verify that all the components are operational (refer to
“Specifications and Accessories” on page 191 for the specific power requirements of
each component).
• Setting up the operational software by entering the System Time and naming the
Analyzer.
Note:
The terms “Anatel A643a” and “Analyzer” refer generally to all A643a TOC Analyzer models.

2.2.1 Unpacking & Inspection

Upon receiving the Anatel A643a Analyzer, inspect the shipping container(s) for any signs of
external damage before unpacking the components. Carefully remove the equipment, verify
the enclosed packing list and check once again for obvious damage.
Each Anatel A643a Installation Kit contains:
• Power Cord
• Network “Tee” & Terminator
• 15 Micron Inlet Filter
• 5’ 1/4” OD Sample Tubing
• 10’ 1/8” OD Drain Tubing
• 1/4” Tube x 1/4” MNPT Fitting
• Operator Manual and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)
If damage is apparent, notify the freight carrier immediately: Claims must be filed by the
customer. Also notify Hach Ultra or your distributor of any such problems. Include the Serial
Number of the damaged unit(s) and your purchase order number with all factory
communications.

2.2.2 Operational Verification

The next pre-installation step is to establish communication connections between the C80
Controller and its associated Anatel A643a–S Analyzer (these connections are internal to the
Anatel A643a–P).
Each Anatel A643a–S Analyzer and C80 Controller is supplied with a 3-foot local cable, a twin
BNC “tee” connector, and a passive terminator. The C80 Controller also includes a 10-foot
trunk cable to facilitate communications connections.
RPS - June 2007 - Edition 12

Note:
Additional twin-axial trunk cable, pre-wired with BNC plugs at each end, is available from Hach
Ultra in 10-, 25-, 50-, 100-foot and custom lengths.

Operator Manual Anatel

To connect the Controller to its associated Analyzer:

1) Grasp the end of the 3-foot local cable attached to the C80 Controller and, noting
the alignment of its internal pins, gently push it onto the middle coupling of the tee
connector. Twist the cable onto the connector until it “locks” on the coupling.
2) Similarly fasten the Analyzer to its tee connector.
3) Link the two tees using the 10-foot section of twin-axial trunk cable provided.
4) Complete communications connections by placing a passive terminator on the open
couplings at each end of the configuration. Proper termination is crucial for reliable
communications.

Fig 2-1 : Passive Terminator

5) Plug both components into an AC power source. A power cord is integral to Anatel
A643a Analyzers; power is supplied to the C80 Controller through a 9 VDC wall
mounted transformer that attaches similar to the communications connections.
6) Turn the Analyzer ON. Verify that the displays on both instruments illuminate and are
functional.
The Controller display reports that it is establishing communications with the Analyzer. If
Sensor Head not communicating is displayed or either instrument fails to operate, check the
connections. Contact Hach Ultra Customer Service at 800-866-7889 or +1 541.472.6500 if
these problems persist.

2.3 Hardware Installation

Once the Anatel A643a hardware components have been checked and initial software
parameters setup, the Analyzer can be installed. Installation consists of:
• Mounting the components.
• Providing the required plumbing, communications and power connections.

2.3.1 Mounting
The C80 Controller and the Anatel A643a–S Analyzer are the only system components that
require stationary mounting. The Anatel A643a–P Analyzer is designed to stand vertically on
its feet, allowing these portable instruments to move to different locations easily and perform
RPS - June 2007 - Edition 12

spot analyses. They must, however, be oriented properly.

Operator Manual Anatel

 Anatel A643a - Instrument Installation 27 of 220

2.3.1.1 C80 Controller

The C80 Controller can be positioned wherever it is convenient. The stand-alone unit is desk-
mounted or wall-mounted in an aluminum enclosure that is sealed against moisture and is
splash-resistant. The wall-mount Controller is secured in place with a steel mounting bracket.
A 3/4" nut clamp accommodates the adjustable panel thickness, which can range in depth from
1/8" to 1/2" (3.17 mm to 12.70 mm). Controller mounting dimensions are shown below.

2.3.1.2 Anatel A643a–S Analyzer

The Anatel A643a–S Analyzer is a wall-mount unit. The standard instrument and Controller are
NEMA 12-compliant. They are splash-resistant but not waterproof and therefore should be
installed in a dry and relatively dust-free environment (an optional NEMA 4 case is available).
The air is filtered through an intake located on the bottom of the Analyzer. Do not allow the air
flow through the intake or outlet filters on the bottom of the instrument to be obstructed or to get
wet. If mounting the Anatel A643a–S outside, place it inside a water-tight enclosure and away
from direct sunlight. Ambient air temperature should not exceed 40 °C (104 °F) and venting the
enclosure may be necessary.

CAUTION:
Do not expose the Anatel A643a Analyzer to a caustic atmosphere, as may be present in a DI
regeneration area or near an acid waste sump; exposure will corrode electronic circuitry and
damage analysis components. If an Analyzer must be installed in a hazardous area, it must be
RPS - June 2007 - Edition 12

protected by a suitable enclosure which complies with all instrument operating specifications
(see “Specifications and Accessories” on page 191).

Anatel Operator Manual

2.3.1.3 Anatel A643a–P Analyzer

The ambient air temperature should not exceed 35°C (95°F) wherever the portable Anatel
A643a–P Analyzer is positioned. Orientation also is important when locating the instrument. It
must be maintained in an upright position with the integral Controller’s panel facing upwards.
This precaution assures that the measurement cell is flushed completely between analysis
cycles, thereby ensuring reliable and accurate analysis results.

Fig 2-19 : Anatel A643a–P Orientation

The following plumbing, communications and power connections are identical for the Anatel
A643a–S and Anatel A643a–P Analyzers.
Note:
The terms “Anatel A643a” and “Analyzer” in th following instructions refer generally to all
A643a TOC Analyzer models.

2.3.2 Plumbing Connections

Sample connections are made through a 1/4” inlet (WATER IN) and a 1/8” outlet (WATER OUT)
316 stainless steel compression fitting located at the Water I/O end of the Analyzer enclosure.
The sample inlet is fitted with a prefilter to minimize the potential for contamination. Plumbing
the Analyzer consists of making these two connections and optionally installing an upstream
isolation valve to permit control of sample flow to the instrument.
RPS - June 2007 - Edition 12

Anatel Operator Manual

30 of 220 Instrument Installation - Anatel A643a

2.3.2.1 Isolation Valve

Anatel A643a Analyzers should be connected to the sample supply through an upstream
isolation valve in order to allow manual control of the input flow. The isolation valve must be
supplied by the customer. Hach Ultra provides a 1/4” tube x 1/4” MNPT stainless steel
compression fitting that can be inserted in the valve to assist in connection to the Analyzer.

Fig 2-20 : High-Purity Water System

2.3.2.2 Water I/O Tubing

A length of 1/4” PFA (perfluoroalkoxy resin) sample tubing and a length of 1/8” OD
polypropylene drain tubing are supplied with each Anatel A643a Analyzer. The suitability of any
sample tube to the sample temperature and pressure should be determined prior to plumbing
the instrument. The PFA tubing provided is not recommended for installations where:
• The water temperature exceeds 75 °C (167 °F) and the pressure exceeds 90 psig
(620 kPa).
• The water temperature exceeds 85 °C (185 °F) and the pressure exceeds 80 psig
RPS - June 2007 - Edition 12

(550 kPa).
• The water temperature exceeds 90 °C (194 °F) and pressure exceeds 70 psig
(480 kPa).

Operator Manual Anatel

 Anatel A643a - Instrument Installation 31 of 220

Under these flow conditions, or in any application where the use of PFA is a concern, use of a
high-grade 1/4” (OD) PTFE, FEP, PVDF or 316 stainless steel sample tube is recommended.

CAUTION:
Install the 15 Micron Filter on the Inlet Port prior to making water I/O connections.

A 7/16” and 9/16” wrench are needed to install the tube fittings. Connections are made as
follows:
1) Flush the (customer provided) isolation valve by opening and closing it fully several
times before connecting the Analyzer in order to avoid introducing debris through the
inlet plumbing.
2) Noting its flow direction, connect the 15 micron inlet filter to the WATER IN port of the
Analyzer.
3) Push one end of the PFA inlet tubing into the rear of the inlet filter assembly until it
cannot be inserted any farther. Be careful not to crimp or damage the tubing.
4) Hand-tighten the compression nut taking care not to pull on the tubing.
5) Mark both the compression nut and the WATER IN connector as a reference for
tightening the nut.
6) Tighten the compression nut 1-1/4 turns to secure the connection.

Anatel Operator Manual

32 of 220 Instrument Installation - Anatel A643a

Fig 2-22 : Anatel A643a Water I/O Connections

7) Repeat step 2 through step 5 to attach the 10-foot 1/8” OD polypropylene drain tubing
to the WATER OUT port. Run the open end to a gravity feed drain.
CAUTION:
The drain must be open (without suction or pressure) and the end of the 10-foot drain tube
should extend no more than 3 feet below the instrument. Do not cut the drain tubing or
instrument performance may be adversely affected.

8) Make sure the sample vessel is installed and securely tightened on the calibration
assembly.
9) Leak test the connections by slowly opening the upstream isolation valve to introduce
water into the instrument. Pulse the valve several times by opening and closing it, then
recheck the fittings.
10) If necessary, slowly tighten the compression fittings to stop any leaks.
CAUTION:
Once a new ferrule has been “swaged” by tightening it 1-1/4 turns, it should be tightened only
another 1/8- to 1/4-turn to seal the connection: overtightening the fittings may damage or
crush the ferrules and cause leaks.

2.3.3 Communications Connections

Communications are established by making the necessary connections between an Anatel
A643a Analyzer and its associated C80 Controller. Because the Controller is an integral
component on the Anatel A643a–P, communications are internal to that model.
The 3-foot local cables, twin BNC tee connectors, passive terminators and 10-foot trunk cable
were all checked during the verification procedure and should only have to be reconnected in
order to establish communications. The cable’s twist-lock fittings facilitate the quick and easy
connection and disconnection of any Anatel A643a system component for installation,
relocation or repair.
The C80–Anatel A643a–S interface must be configured as a single trunk line with local cabling
no longer than three feet in length, although the trunk line can extend a total of 3000 feet (not
including local cable drops). If electrical interference may be a problem, the interface cable
should be installed in conduit which is free from other wiring or AC buses. Active (AC-powered)
termination is required for trunk lines longer than 500 feet in order to control noise and help
ensure a clean communications signal.
To establish interface communications between the C80 Controller and Anatel A643a
Analyzer:
1) Grasp the end of the 3-foot local cable attached to the C80 Controller and, noting the
alignment of its internal pins, gently push it onto the middle coupling of the tee
connector. Twist the cable onto the connector until it “locks” on the coupling.
2) Similarly fasten the Analyzer to its tee connector.
3) Link the two tee connectors using the section of trunk cable.
4) The passive terminators (P/N FG2005901) provided with each System component
should be fastened to the open coupling at each end of the trunk cable.
Note:
Trunk cabling longer than 500 feet requires active termination. In these longer installations,
an AC-powered terminator (PN FG2006501 – 120VAC, FG2006601 – 230VAC) must be
connected to the open coupling at one end of the cable, then plugged into an appropriate
AC source. A passive terminator should be installed on the other end of the trunk cable.

2.3.3.1 Auxiliary Inputs & Outputs

All of the Analyzer’s auxiliary input and output connections are made on its integral I/O
Connector Block. This standardized Connector Block provides a consistent and flexible
means of interfacing Anatel A643a Analyzers with a variety of other devices. External wiring
connections are made by removing the entire I/O Connector Block from the bottom of the
Analyzer and wiring each I/O cable to the appropriate screw terminals. The connector type and
gender of the other end of the cable is determined by the auxiliary device to which it is attached.
RPS - June 2007 - Edition 12

Anatel Operator Manual

34 of 220 Instrument Installation - Anatel A643a

Fig 2-23 : Anatel A643a Analyzer (Bottom View)

I/O connections require a Phillips-head and a small flathead screwdriver and are made as
follows:
1) Make sure the Analyzer is turned OFF and disconnected from its power source.
2) Remove the I/O Connector Block from the bottom of the Anatel A643a analyzer by
loosening the four retaining screws. A medium flat blade screwdriver may be required.
RPS - June 2007 - Edition 12

3) Loosen and remove the two screws that secure the metal strain relief plate.
4) Feed the device wiring through one of the holes at the end of the I/O Connector Block
cover and along the corresponding slot in the foam padding.

Operator Manual Anatel

5) Make the connections to the appropriate terminals. Refer to the following Sections for
detailed information on the specific interface:
• “Printer Output” on page 111
• “Analog Outputs” on page 121
• “Digital Inputs & Outputs” on page 139
• “12 VDC Bias Output” on page 145
• “Serial Communications” on page 147
6) Replace the metal strain relief plate.
7) Replace the I/O Connector Block on the bottom of the Analyzer, taking care not to pinch
any wires, and secure it in place by tightening the screws.
The I/O Connector Block offers the following Anatel A643a input and output connections:
• A DB-25 Connector Block provides connections between the Analyzer’s electronics and
the I/O Connector Block.
Table 2-2 : Isolated I/O Connections

These connections are optically isolated from ground and the Analyzer’s internal power to avoid
potential problems.
NET is used for Anatel A643a Network connections via the twinaxial BNC cable. The C80
Controller and the Anatel A643a–S are supplied with a 3-foot length of local A-Net cable;
cable for the Anatel A643a–P Analyzers is provided in their installation kits.
AUX is reserved for Hach Ultra use.

4-20mA furnishes a 4-20 or 0-20 mA output proportional to the Analyzer’s TOC reading for
external analog devices.
INPUTS is a digital connection allowing limited supervisory control of the Analyzer by a remote
device or switch. Connecting to the “IN1*” terminal allows external initiation of a TOC
analysis cycle; “IN2*” determines whether the Analyzer is in the Auto TOC or the Purge
Mode.
OUTPUTS provides a corresponding digital output for devices such as a remote alarm indicator or a
PLC (Programmable Logic Controller). Connecting to the “OUT1*” terminal reports on
whether the Analyzer’s TOC level is above or below the user-specified limit; “OUT2*”
reports whether its sample valve is opened or closed. Alternatively, “OUT2*” can be set
to report the status of the Uncompensated Conductivity Alarm.

Table 2-3 : Non-Isolated I/O Connections

DATA ACQUISITION is a bidirectional RS-232C interface that permits the Analyzer to interface
with serial devices such as a host computer.
PRINTER outputs data to a local thermal or serial printer to generate hardcopy reports.

DIAGNOSTICS is a secondary RS-232C port for reporting resistivity and temperature in a

4-20 mA format via an external DAC (Digital-to-Analog Conversion) Module.
RPS - June 2007 - Edition 12

This interface also may be used by Anatel Service Department personnel,

eliminating the need to disconnect other wiring in order to perform field
service procedures.
BIAS furnishes 12 VDC, 0.5 Amp power for biasing digital inputs and outputs to
drive external devices like the auxiliary External DAC Modules.

Anatel Operator Manual

36 of 220 Instrument Installation - Anatel A643a

2.3.4 Power Connections

AC Power for each Anatel A643a Analyzer is provided via its IEC 320 power receptacle and
molded power cord. The cord plugs into a standard AC power source (see “Specifications and
Accessories” on page 191 for specific requirements). The Analyzer’s internal electronics are
self-adjusting to accommodate a 100 VAC to 240 VAC supply. The C80 Controller receives its
9 VDC power through an Hach Ultra-supplied transformer that connects to a 120 VAC adapter.
A 230 VAC version of the adapter also is available.

CAUTION:
Use the grounded power cord provided—do not clip the ground pin.

Fig 2-24 : A-Net (maximum 8 Anatel Analyzers)

2.4 Analyzer Initialization

With the plumbing, communications and power connections properly established, the Anatel
A643a Analyzer can be initialized and placed into operation. Because the cleanliness of
commercially available tubing varies (particularly stainless steel), it is suggested that the
Analyzer’s plumbing be thoroughly flushed. This is accomplished by placing the instrument in
the Self-Clean Mode for several hours.
To initialize the Anatel A643a Analyzer:
RPS - June 2007 - Edition 12

1) Open the optional isolation valve to initiate flow to the Analyzer.

2) Turn the Analyzer and any attached printer ON. The instrument initially conducts a
series of self-diagnostic routines, shown by a green Controller LED, to verify that it is
operating properly. The LED flashes red while the Controller establishes
communications with its associated Analyzer.

Operator Manual Anatel

 Anatel A643a - Instrument Installation 37 of 220

The Controller reports if it is unable to establish communications with the Analyzer

and suggests checking the wiring connections. Once the Controller has established
communications, any other faults detected during the power-up diagnostics may be examined
by pressing the Alarm Key. Summaries of any problems encountered are displayed and output
to the printer (refer to “Alarm Codes” on page 175 for information on reported Alarm Codes and
their possible indications). When its self-diagnostics have been completed successfully,
sample flow begins and the Analyzer initiates an automatic analysis cycle based on factory
default parameters. If there is no flow through the instrument, check the isolation valve and the

Operator Manual Anatel

 Anatel A643a - Network Installation 39 of 220

3 Network Installation

3.1 General Information

As many as eight sensors and eight controllers can be networked together in any configuration
to create a diverse system. One C80 controller, for example, can oversee as many as seven
additional A643a analyzers, or a single A643a may be linked to eight controllers. Regardless of
the instrument combination, an A-Net network must consist of at least one C80 Controller and
one A643a analyzer.

3.2 Software Setup

Each component must have its own unique address to identify it on the Network. Analyzers are
assigned Channel ID Numbers that correspond to the LEDs on the faceplate of their associated
Controller. C80 Controllers are assigned Network addresses.
It is recommended these assignments be made during Operational Verification as described in
“Operational Verification” on page 20 before performing hardware installation of the Network.
This process avoids conflicts and assures all of the components on the Network are uniquely
identified and functioning properly.

3.2.1 ID to S/N Cross Reference

Note:
Default: Channel 1

The ID to Serial Number Cross-Reference associates each Sensor’s Channel ID with its
designated Serial Number. A Channel ID Number (1-8) is used to identify each Sensor for
display and reporting purposes, as well as serving as its Network address. The attached
Controller determines these ID–S/N relationships when it first scans the A-Net. These ID–SN
assignments may be altered, but duplicate Channel IDs are not permitted on the Network.

3.2.2 Controller Address

Note:
Default: Address 9
RPS - June 2007 - Edition 12

Like A643a Analyzers, each C80 Controller also must have its own unique address on the
Network for identification and reporting functions. The Sensor address is pre-configured at the
factory to a default of “9,” but may have to be changed in order to avoid a Network conflict.

Operator Manual Anatel

 Anatel A643a - Network Installation 41 of 220

Fig 3-4 : Controller Address Screen

To change the Controller’s A-Net address:

1) While holding the Setup Key down, cycle the Controller’s power by removing, then
restoring, its power connection (on an A643aS or A643aP, simply turn the Sensor OFF
and then back ON). The Controller displays its current address.
2) Use the Up and Down Keys in order to scroll the Controller’s A-Net Address to the
desired setting (9–16).
3) Press Enter to retain the displayed setting and return to normal operation.

3.3 Network Setup

The A-Net Network is configured by making the necessary communications connections

between multiple Sensors and their managing Controller(s) using the shielded twin-axial
cabling. The cable’s BNC twist-lock fittings allow quick and easy connection and disconnection
of any component without disrupting overall Network operation.
The A-Net Network must be configured as a single trunk line with each component connected
through an individual tee connector using a local cable no longer than 3 feet. The A-Net trunk
line can extend a total of 3000 feet not including these local cable lengths. If the trunk line
exceeds 500 feet, its cable should be installed in conduit which is free from other cables or AC
buses to prevent the potential for electrical interference.
To establish A-Net communications:
1) Grasp the end of the 3-foot local cable attached to a C80 Controller and, noting the
alignment of its internal pins, gently push it onto the middle coupling of the tee
connector. Twist the cable onto the connector until it “locks” on the coupling.
2) Similarly fasten the local cable that extends from the other network components to their
respective tee connectors.
3) Link the various tee connectors using sections of twin-axial trunk cable.
4) Both ends of the Network must be terminated to control noise and help ensure a clean
signal. The passive terminators (P/N FG 2005901) provided with each system
RPS - June 2007 - Edition 12

component should be fastened to the open jack connector at each end of the A-Net
Network with a total trunk length less than 500 feet.

Note:
It is recommended that once the Network communications have been established with all
instruments, the System Time be again set as described in “System Time” on page 22. The
date and time are then broadcast to the connected Sensors, thereby assuring that all of the
instruments on the Network are synchronized to the same clock setting.

A-Net Networks longer than 500 feet require active termination. In these installations, an
AC-powered terminator (P/N FG2006501: 120 VAC, 60 Hz; FG2006601: 230 VAC, 50 Hz)
must be connected to the open coupling at each end of the Network and then plugged into an
appropriate AC supply to ensure a clean signal. More Sensors may be added to an existing
A-Net configuration by positioning them along the trunk line and then attaching them as
described above using the twin-axial cable and the tee connector provided.

3.3.1 Network Connections

The local cable must be attached to an analyzer when connecting it to the network. This 3-foot
communications cable is provided with each portable Sensor and can be found in its
installation kit.
Note:
The stationary A643a-S Analyzer is shipped with the local cable already installed.

Note:
Always disconnect the instrument from its power source before attempting to access internal
components.

Network connections are made to the NET Port on the Sensor’s I/O Connector Block as
follows:
1) Turn the Sensor OFF and disconnect the power cord from its source.
2) Remove the I/O Connector Block from the bottom of the Sensor by loosening the four
thumbscrews.
3) Loosen and remove the two Phillips-head screws that secure the metal strain relief

4 C80 Controller Setup

4.1 General Information

The C80 Controller provides the user interface with the various Analyzers, furnishing data
displays and access to individual Anatel A643a parameters. The Controller is a stand-alone
unit or an integral component of the Anatel A643a–P Analyzer.
User interaction with the C80 Controller is through a consistent interface. Its 4-line by
16-character display affords full functionality for interacting with its associated Anatel A643a
Analyzers, allowing the user to manage their operation individually.

4.2 C80 Controller

The C80 Controller display simultaneously provides data from multiple Analyzers. The
Controller’s faceplate also contains a set of Channel ID LEDs which reflect the operational
status of each connected Analyzer and ten membrane keys for user interaction.

Anatel Operator Manual

46 of 220 C80 Controller Setup - Anatel A643a

The Controller’s Function Keys may be pressed at any time to access the designated Anatel
A643a Analyzer’s operations:
Chnl displays identification and status information on the selected Analyzer.
View toggles between a Multichannel and a Single Channel View.
Manual accesses the operational Mode options for the chosen Analyzer.
Setup accesses global variables for the entire Anatel A643a System as well as
operational parameters for individual Analyzers.
Alarm acknowledges and displays any Anatel A643a Analyzer excursions or
System alarms.
Print allows on-demand printouts to be generated in several formats.

4.3 Operational

Each Analyzer’s parameter values and operational settings are accessed through menu
selections. The Multichannel and Single Channel Views represent the highest level Controller
screens; a parameter screen is the lowest level display. It presents the current value for the
particular variable, allowing it to be edited.
There are a few general rules that govern the C80 Controller interface:
• The Up and Down Keys are used to specify a menu item: it then is selected by pressing
the Enter Key. A menu item that is followed by a colon (:) indicates that a subordinate
screen exists.
• An arrow (“X”) indicates the currently selected menu item; a check (“✓”) preceding an
item indicates that it is the currently active menu selection.
• An “X” in instrument display and printout examples represents any number or character.
• While an Edit Mode is employed to change Anatel A643a parameter values, there is no
temporary screen. All parameter changes are made in real time and the displayed
values are those that are saved. Pressing Enter advances to the next parameter:
Esc exits to the previous screen.
• Any changes made to an Analyzer’s parameters are immediately output to a local
printer, but they do not take effect until the subsequent analysis cycle.

4.4 Contrast Adjustment

Once it has been installed, the contrast level of the Controller’s background may have to be
adjusted to make its display more easily visible under the ambient lighting conditions. This
Controller display adjustment is found in the System Setup Menu.

4.5 View Options

The View Key determines the type of Anatel A643a information that is presented in the
Controller’s LCD display. Two data display formats are offered:
1) Detailed readings for a single Analyzer including the current TOC, trend, profile type,
conductivity (or resistivity), and temperature values.
2) A multichannel listing of all Analyzers connected to the Controller, their respective TOC
values and current trend. The Analyzer’s alternate operational modes (PURGE or
CLEAN) also are reported.
Repeatedly pressing the View Key cycles through these display formats. All displayed values
are the result of the Anatel A643a’s previously completed analysis cycle. These readings are
updated at the conclusion of each cycle.
Simultaneous access to a particular Analyzer is not permitted with a multi-user network,
such as when multiple C80 Controllers are connected to the same Analyzer. In the event a
concurrent attempt is made to modify an Analyzer (through another Controller), the conflict is
reported and access is denied to the second device. Press the Esc Key to return to the
original menu.

4.5.1 The Single Channel

Detailed analysis data are available for each of the connected Analyzers through the
Controller’s Single Channel View. To examine an individual instrument’s data, specify the
Anatel A643a and then press the View Key until the Single Channel format is displayed.
The first line of the display identifies the instrument by its Channel ID number and user-entered
name. The remaining lines furnish the following information on the Analyzer’s previous
analysis cycle:
Line 2 The TOC concentration in ppb.
Line 3 The trend of the Analyzer’s TOC level averaged over the last hour,
preceded by a “+” or “–” to indicate its direction. In addition, the Profile
Type of the sample is reported as “P1,” “P2” or “P3” (see “The Auto TOC
Mode” on page 59 for an explanation of Profile Types).
Line 4 The sample conductivity (or resistivity) and water temperature, in degrees
Centigrade.
RPS - June 2007 - Edition 12

The individual readings for the other Analyzers associated with this Controller can be observed
by pressing the Up and Down Keys.

Fig 4-7 : Single Channel View

4.5.2 The Multichannel View

Multichannel is the initial default view when a C80 Controller is managing more than one
instrument. This network display affords a summary listing of all its associated Analyzers to
provide an overview of several aspects of the monitored process. To examine multiple channel
data, press the View Key until that display format is presented.
The Multichannel View lists each Analyzer by its Channel ID and reports its respective TOC
value, calculated at the conclusion of its last analysis cycle. The value is followed by a “↑” or
“↓” to indicate the directional trend in TOC level for that Analyzer based on its running average
over the last hour. This trend indication initially appears at the conclusion of the instrument’s
second analysis cycle. If no direction is denoted, the TOC level has not changed over the trend
period. When the Analyzer is under remote digital control (see “Software Setup” on page 141),
r/c is also displayed to report this condition.
PURGE MODE indicates that sample water is flowing through the corresponding instrument’s
measurement cell, but no TOC analysis is being conducted (conductivity, however, is
reported). In the CLEAN MODE, the Analyzer’s UV lamp is turned on to oxidize any residual
organics while the water sample flows through its measurement cell.
The Multichannel listing can be scrolled in order to view any connected instruments that are not
visible within the Controller’s four-line display by pressing the Up and Down Keys.

4.5.3 The Channel Display

The Chnl Key furnishes general information about the instrument including its Model and
Serial Number, operational mode and current state.
These Channel data are accessible either from the Single Channel View, or by using the Up
and Down Keys to identify the desired Analyzer in the Multichannel View and then pressing
Chnl. The four lines of data presented in the Channel Display are:
Line 1 The instrument’s Channel ID Number and userentered Name.
Line 2 The Analyzer Model and Serial Number.
Line 3 The Analyzer’s current operational Mode.
Line 4 The Analyzer’s current operational State.

This information may be examined for other associated instruments simply by pressing the Up
and Down Keys once the Channel display is presented.

Fig 4-9 : The Channel Display

Pressing the Chnl Key twice displays the checksum value of the instrument’s controlling
EPROM as well as is current firmware version. This ROM checksum is calculated each time
the instrument is powered-up and is the same value that would be produced by a device
programmer. The checksum value and firmware version are also available on the Factory
Configuration printout (see “Printouts” on page 117).

5 Anatel A643a Setup

5.1 General Information

Once they have been installed, Anatel A643a Analyzers can begin analysis immediately based
on the factory default parameters. The user can selectively alter these default values to tailor
the instrument’s operation to the requirements of the particular application.
Anatel A643a Analyzers run in one of three data-gathering modes:
Auto TOC is the Analyzer’s standard operational mode for monitoring any high-
purity water system. In this mode, the instrument automatically
performs successive TOC analyses and reports the results until the
cycle is interrupted by the user.
Purge Mode opens the Analyzer’s internal sample valve, allowing sample water to
flow through the instrument and flush the measurement cell.
Conductivity (or resistivity) and temperature readings are reported.
Manual Mode allows the user to interrupt automatic operation and manually initiate
an analysis cycle. A single on-line sample from the water system or a
grab sample of off-line water sources, such as a sample vial can be
analyzed.

Appropriate printouts are produced on a local printer. Parameter changes, limit excursions or
any problems detected during operation automatically generate a printout to provide a hard
copy record of the event. On-demand data printouts are available through the Print Key
(see “Auto TOC Printout” on page 69).

5.2 Factory Defaults

Anatel A643a Analyzers are shipped from the factory equipped with a set of default parameter
values so that they can generate data as soon as they have been installed and powered up.
A list of the Analyzer’s current parameter settings is available through the Print Setup menu
selection (see “Printouts” on page 117). The Anatel A643a’s factory default values are:

5.3 Password Security

Note:
Defaults —
Identifier: Super
Supervisor: 00000 (None)
Identifier: Opera
Operator: 00000 (None)

The Anatel A643a’s operational modes (Setup, Manual and Print) can be password protected
to prevent unauthorized users from accessing any of the instrument’s configuration or control
parameters, as well as its printout functions. The Anatel A643a allows two levels of password
security: a Supervisor who has access to all functions and an Operator who can alter
everything but the password entries and the Log Setup Menu (see “Internal Log” on page 114)
which contains the instrument’s audit trail.
The optional passwords are equipped with a required Identifier to trace accountability. Any
parameter changes are recorded in the Analyzer’s internal log for later retrieval and are
automatically output to the printer (assuming one is attached). These records include the time,
the parameter and the date of the change in addition to identifying the person authorized to
make the modification.
By default, no passwords are defined (indicated by settings of 00000), thereby allowing
complete access to all personnel. A password, once enabled, is constrained by a 90-day limit.
In other words, active passwords must be changed every three months. An alarm code is
issued three times a day—at 12:00 AM, 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM—when the assigned limit has
expired. This code will continue to be displayed (and printed) until the Supervisor changes the
current password settings. To further enhance this security feature, the same passwords
cannot be used in two successive 90-day periods.
Note:
Settings of 00000 for the Supervisor and the Operator disable this security feature.

The A643a TOC Analyzer software can report the actual or temperature-compensated
conductivity (or resistivity) of the sample water. Compensated values are displayed as if the
solution was being measured at 25 °C: Compensated conductivities are displayed as µS C.
This calculation provides consistency from one analysis reading to the next regardless of
changes in temperature.
Compensation is not always desirable in pharmaceutical high-purity water applications,
however, so the uncompensated mode uses the actual sample water conductivity in its report
and alarm functions. Uncompensated conductivity is reported for the Analyzer in place of the
temperaturecompensated value on all the associated C80 Controller displays, as well as in all
reports and any output signals. Any reported uncompensated values have units displayed as
µS U to distinguish them from compensated values.
RPS - June 2007 - Edition 12

Anatel Operator Manual

58 of 220 Anatel A643a Setup - Anatel A643a

Fig 5-12 : Uncompensated Conductivity Display

Note:
The compared values are recorded at the beginning of the analysis and when the data are
reported.

In addition to reporting the uncompensated values, they are monitored for limit excursions.
The Anatel A643a Analyzer compares the uncompensated conductivity value to a set of USP
(United States Pharmacopeia) limits and issues an alarm if the corresponding limit is exceeded
(see “Uncompensated Conductivity Alarms” on page 106).
The Uncompensated Mode is enabled or disabled independent of the individual instrument’s
conductivity (or resistivity) display units. Modifying an Anatel A643a to report temperature-
uncompensated conductivity or resistivity values requires altering its Display Units Screen
to reflect this new output. If an external DAC module is being used, its range may have to be
adjusted to account for the new output (see “Conductivity/ Resistivity Output” on page 134).
Note:
Uncompensated Resistivity may be chosen, but this selection is for display only and does not
generate an alarm as the USP limits are not checked in this case.

7) Use the Down Key to scroll to Uncompensated and press Enter to toggle the

displayed for an Analyzer reporting uncompensated resistivity.
The column headers on printed outputs similarly report “COND UNCMP” and “RESIS
UNCMP,” respectively. This also applies to the Gateway and the TOC View program where the
appropriate headers are modified in the report and display columns. In instances where the
data for multiple instruments are combined into a single report or view, a separate unit is given
for each line of data.

5.5 The Auto TOC Mode

In this normal (default) operating mode, the Anatel A643a conducts analysis and reporting
functions based on its particular parameters. Water samples are analyzed independently by
each instrument, their corresponding results displayed on the associated C80 Controller at the
conclusion of each analysis cycle. Printouts are generated by an Analyzer’s attached printer as
specified on its Printer Setup Menu. Automatic analysis and reporting continues until manually
interrupted by the user or until a critical fault is encountered.
To select the Auto TOC Mode:
1) With the desired Analyzer selected in any View, press Manual to display its operational
options.
2) Use the Up and Down Keys to specify Auto TOC.
3) Press Enter to enable the Auto TOC Mode.

Fig 5-14 : Auto TOC Mode Selection

RPS - June 2007 - Edition 12

In this mode, water analyses are conducted automatically by the Anatel A643a using a
patented procedure. TOC measurement uses a microprocessorcontrolled photocatalytic
process in conjunction with conductivity detection. The initial conductivity of the water sample
is determined to establish a reference value. An ultraviolet lamp then oxidizes the sample and

Anatel Operator Manual

60 of 220 Anatel A643a Setup - Anatel A643a

the resulting change in conductivity is used to calculate the concentration of Total Organic
Carbon present in parts per billion (ppb).
The Auto TOC analysis process is comprised of three successive stages: the Sample,
Oxidation and Idle Times. These intervals are referred to collectively as the Cycle Time,
its duration specified in the Analyzer’s setup (see “Cycle Time” on page 65).
During the Sample Time interval, the UV lamp is turned off and the Analyzer’s internal
Sample Valve 2 is opened to allow pressurized water from the Process Water Inlet to purge the
measurement cell. Sample Valve 2 is closed at the conclusion of the Sample Time to capture
a new sample in the cell. The conductivity and the temperature of the sample water are
measured to establish reference values which are stored in the instrument’s memory for use
in calculating the TOC results.

Cycle Time

Sample Time Oxidation Time Idle Time

(if present)

Fig 5-15 : Analysis Time Line

During the Oxidation Time, the Analyzer’s Sample Valve 2 remains closed, the UV lamp is
turned on and oxidation begins. This interval varies depending on the organic content of the
water. The nature of the oxidation curve determines the sample to be one of the following
Profile Types:
Profile Type 1 (“P1”) Easy to oxidize
Profile Type 2 (“P2”) Moderately difficult to oxidize (only in TOC levels below 25 ppb)
Profile Type 3 (“P3”) Difficult to oxidize (intermediate organic acids are formed)

Conductivity is always increasing until oxidation is complete in a P1 sample. This indicates that
few intermediate organic acids, which have higher conductivity than the equivalent CO2, are
formed. A P3 sample contains significant amounts of these acids. Consequently, conductivity
peaks then decreases as analysis nears completion. P2 samples occur at low TOC levels and
are similar to a P1, or minor P3, sample in which the organic “background” of the measurement
cell must be measured.

Abrupt changes in the Profile Type can indicate a change in water chemistry. For example, a
change from a P2 to a P3 Profile Type at a TOC level of 10 ppb, indicates a contamination shift
towards more complex compounds. This comparison also is valid between water treatment
systems when TOC levels are similar. Simple organics, such as methanol, report P1 up to
moderate levels (in excess of 50 ppb). More complex organics tend to oxidize as a P3 Type at
all but the lowest levels (less than 10 ppb). In this instance, complex indicates either very large
organics with a high molecular weight or organics that contain some element which resists
oxidation. As TOC levels vary, the location of this transition shifts but the accuracy of the
measurement is maintained. Neither the Profile Type nor the analysis conditions cause any
variations in TOC readings.

The difference between the final equivalent TOC reading and the beginning reference value is
calculated at the end of oxidation to yield the TOC content of the sample. The results of the
analysis are then reported on the instrument and the C80 Controller, as well as output to the
printer.

Anatel Operator Manual

If TOC analysis is complete before the set Cycle Time has elapsed, the instrument goes into
an Idle State and awaits the start of the next analysis. During this Idle Time, Sample Valve 1
either allows or prevents sample water flow, depending on the Analyzer’s Sample Mode
setting (see “Sampling Mode” on page 66). When the setting is Continuous, the measurement
cell is continuously purged until the conclusion of the Cycle Time; when Water Saver is
selected, sample flow through the Analyzer is suspended until initialization of the subsequent
Sample Time. If the Cycle Time is less than the duration of the analysis, the next analysis
begins immediately. Thus, in order to perform continuous analyses, the Analyzer's Cycle Time
should be set to the default of 0 minutes. This setting is recommended unless a fixed and
lengthy (hourly) analysis is required.

5.5.1 Auto TOC Software Setup

There are several parameters which define Anatel A643a operation in the Auto TOC Mode.
These variables include setting the Sample and Cycle Times, as well as the instrument’s
Sample Mode setting. These time parameters are accessed through the instrument’s Times
& Cycle Menu and determine the duration of its analysis. As noted, the analysis Cycle Time
is comprised of Sample, Oxidation and, in some instances, an Idle Time.

Fig 5-20 : Auto TOC Software Setup

To access the Anatel A643a’s Times & Cycle Menu:

1) With the desired Analyzer selected in any View, press the Setup Key to display its
submenu.
2) Use the Up and Down Keys to specify Sensor Setup.
3) Press Enter to access it submenu.
4) Specify Analysis Setup from among the available selections and press Enter to
display its options.
RPS - June 2007 - Edition 12

The Times & Cycle Menu offers the following instrument-specific analysis parameters:
• Sample Time is the period of time water flows through the Analyzer before its internal
sample valve closes and sample analysis begins.
• Cycle Time is the minimum length of time from the beginning of one analysis to the
beginning of the subsequent analysis.

Operator Manual Anatel

 Anatel A643a - Anatel A643a Setup 63 of 220

• Cycle Modes allows conductivity (or resistivity) and temperature readings to be reported
while the instrument is purging between analyses.

5.5.1.1 Sample Time

Note:
Default: 1 Minute

The Sample Time is the period during which water flows through the Anatel A643a’s
measurement cell prior to oxidation. This ensures that a discrete and representative water
sample is oxidized during each analysis. The interval is user-selectable from 00:00:00 to
17:59:59 and a proper setting helps assure accurate and timely analysis results.
During the Sample Time, Sample Valve 2 is open to allow the measurement cell to purge of
any residual contamination. An empirical method for determining an appropriate Sample Time
for any flow rate is to switch the instrument into the Purge Mode at the end of an oxidation cycle
and note the time it takes for the resistivity reading to stabilize. Double this time to obtain a
proper Sample Time interval. For systems where the water pressure varies, use the average
of several such readings or update the Sample Time settings when inlet conditions change.

Fig 5-21 : Sample Time

The Analyzer must be rinsed completely in order to accurately measure sample resistivity.
Even minute amounts of residual oxidation products will increase the conductivity of a high-
purity water sample considerably. The Anatel A643a compensates the reported conductivity for
variations in temperature caused by using high intensity UV which, in conjunction with an
integral heater, warms the measurement cell. A substantial Sample Time reestablishes the
temperature balance as well as flushing the previous sample.
As an example, in 0.05 µS/cm water containing 100 ppb TOC, a rinse of 99% will lower the
measured TOC by only 1 ppb. Sample conductivity, however, will degrade by more than
0.4 µS/cm.
For analyses from sources where the water pressure exceeds 15 psig, a good rule-of-thumb is
to set the Sample Time to two minutes. The setting should be increased by one additional
RPS - June 2007 - Edition 12

minute for each two meters of 1/4” sample tubing, and another minute for each 10 °C
differential in temperature between the sample water and the room temperature.
Although a lengthy Sample Time guarantees the most accurate conductivity and temperature
readings, adequate TOC sampling can be accomplished in shorter intervals. In cases where

Anatel Operator Manual

64 of 220 Anatel A643a Setup - Anatel A643a

the Sample Time must be limited, the setting should allow a 60 mL sample flow through the
instrument with an additional 25 mL for each meter of 1/4” tubing traveled. Measure the flow
through the instrument during the preoxidation Sample Time and calculate the time necessary
for this volume of water. The flow rate can be checked and verified with a stopwatch or second
hand and a beaker or graduated cylinder.

6 Calibration and Validation

6.1 General Information

The Anatel A643a is equipped with on-demand calibration and validation capability to ensure
the reliability of its results. Calibration assures the accuracy of instrument’s readings at regular
intervals; validation ensures the accuracy of the calibration by “challenging” it with the analysis
of a known standard. Calibration and validation data are available for viewing via a C80
Controller or through a local or network printer.
Note:
The Anatel A643a is calibrated at the factory before shipment. It is not necessary to perform a
TOC Calibration prior to placing the instrument into service.

Proper calibration of the Anatel A643a is critical to maintaining optimum instrument

performance. There are several approaches to calibration to run unknown samples and
accurately report the results. Calibration and validation involve running analyses of one or more
standards and blanks in order to determine instrumental response:

TOC Calibration Select from up to three levels (250, 500 and 750 ppb) of a
sucrose standard. The procedure also allows up to three
analysis replicates per standard for maximum accuracy.
TOC Validation Perform either a single-point or multipoint validation of the
TOC calibration using using up to three levels of sucrose
validation standards.
Conductivity Calibration Performed according to the guidelines established in
USP Method <645>. The procedure uses a NIST-
traceable calibrated resistor for the determination of
meter accuracy and a NIST-traceable 100 µS/cm
conductivity standard for cell constant verification.
System Suitability Performed according to the guidelines established in
USP Method <643> using prepackaged 500 ppb sucrose
and 500 ppb 1,4-benzoquinone standards.

Each procedure is prompted by a series of menus and all analyses are performed
automatically. The necessary materials are available through Anatel in prepackaged
Reagent Kits.
Note:
These are intended as general instructions on the performance of the calibration and
validation procedures. Refer to the specific Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for detailed
instructions.

6.2 TOC Calibration

Note:
Refer to Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) #643–1/1A for complete instructions on
performing this procedure.

Calibration ensures the accuracy of the TOC values obtained by the Anatel A643a Analyzer.
TOC values are determined by measuring the change in conductivity of a high-purity water
sample as its organic compounds are oxidized to carbon dioxide inside the instrument’s
analysis cell. The confirmation procedure subtracts the average of a series of background TOC
measurements from the average of a series of working standard measurements.
Linear regression is performed on the data and a correlation coefficient (R) for the analysis is
reported. The instrument automatically determines whether the calibration passes or fails
based on the factory calibration. If the absolute value of the percent slope change (%SC) of the
new calibration is ≤15% of the factory calibration, the instrument indicates that the new
calibration has passed. If the result is >15% of the factory calibration, the Analyzer indicates
that the new calibration has failed.
Note:
It is recommended the correlation coefficient, a user-accepted (R) value, be ≥0.990. The
calibration will not fail if the R value is ≤0.990, only if the % slope change is not within the
specified limits.

verifying its serial number. The Analyzer will begin a temperature stabilization process,
its duration depending on the sample water temperature. The actual time required is
displayed and counted down.

Operator Manual Anatel

 Anatel A643a - Calibration and Validation 83 of 220

CAUTION:
Some instrument surfaces may be hot if the sample water is hot. Allow surfaces to cool before
touching.

CAUTION:
In a networked environment (see “Network Installation” on page 39), it is important to confirm
the instrument’s Serial Number before proceeding. Operation of the wrong Analyzer could
result in water leakage from the sample vessel when it is removed during this procedure.

Note:
The Anatel A643a TOC Analyzer was designed to be calibrated by the user. Anatel provides
pre-packaged reagents to assist the user in simplifying the calibration process and to easily
comply with USP TOC Method <643>. If desired, reagents can be prepared by the user for use
with the A643a TOC Analyzer. User-prepared reagents will not affect or alter the calibration of
the instrument. User prepared standards can be introduced into the analyzer using a
container/closure system that includes a 50 mL glass vial (VWR cat #16171341), a 20 mm
teflon-coated stopper (VWR cat #16171561) and a 20 mm crimp-top aluminum seal (VWR cat
#16171829). The user is responsible for the traceability and USP compliance of all reagents
that are not pre-packaged.

6) Press Enter to continue and wait while the sample line is drained. The remaining time
is counted down on the display.
7) Specify the calibration standard levels to be performed. All three available ppb
concentration levels are enabled by default, indicated by the checkmark (3) preceding
them. Disable any unwanted levels by pressing the Up and Down Keys to select the
desired concentration, then pressing Enter to edit and Up and Down toggle it on and
off. At least two levels must be selected, however.

Fig 6-2 : Calibration Standard Criteria

Note:
RPS - June 2007 - Edition 12

Calibration requires at least two Replicates at two levels of Standards. The concentration
of Standards used should bracket the concentration of the samples to be analyzed. Three
Standards with three Replicates each is recommended for the best accuracy of calibration.

6.4 Conductivity Calibration

Conductivity calibration provides a confirmation of the accuracy of the conductivity values

reported by Anatel’s on-line Total Organic Carbon instrumentation. The calibration consists of
determining the instrument’s meter accuracy by installing a NIST-traceable resistor and then
verifying the cell constant by measuring a solution of known conductivity according to USP
Method <645>. The instrument’s meter accuracy must be within 0.1 µS/cm and its cell constant
must be known to be within ±2%, therefore the conductivity solution measurement must be
within ±2% of the reported label concentration.
Note:
Refer to Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) #643–3 for complete instructions on performing
this procedure.

Fig 6-17 : Conductivity Calibration

To perform a conductivity calibration:

1) With the desired Analyzer selected in any View, press the Manual Key to access its
menu selections.
2) Use the Up and Down Keys to specify Calibrations.

8) Insert the calibration resistor into the receptacle provided in the end lid until it firmly
connects with the internal receptacle; two “clicks” indicate a tight electrical connection.
The resistor should be fully inserted up to the second black band.
9) Press Enter to perform the meter test. The instrument measures the value of the
calibration resistor and automatically multiplies it by the cell constant to obtain a result
in µS/cm. The meter must be within ±0.1 µS/cm. If the meter fails, an opportunity to test
it again will be given. A failure condition continues to be reported every 8 hours until the
meter passes. Press Enter to proceed.

12) Three replicates are run and the results are reported in µS/cm. The results are
displayed once all analyses have been completed. The instrument passes the
conductivity test if the deviation between the actual value of the solution and the
measured result is less than ±5% from the previous calibration or ±10% from the
factory calibration.
Note:
USP Method <645> requires the cell constant be known to within ±2%. To ensure this is the
case, the cell constant is adjusted to the value of the conductivity standard and, therefore, is
always within ±2%. If the measured values are greater than ±10% of the original factory value,
or ±5% of the previous calibration, an alarm message is displayed.

7.1 General Information

An Analyzer’s TOC level can be monitored for fluctuations, any excursion triggering an alarm
condition. The alarm limit can be independently defined for each instrument.
The user is alerted to any TOC limit excursions on the C80 Controller by flashing its entire LCD
display, as well as the affected instrument’s Channel LED. When enabled, an audible beeper
also sounds to provide additional warning. A hardcopy printout of the excursion is generated
automatically and the Analyzer’s Digital Output #1 port may be used to transmit its alarm
status to a compatible device (see “Digital Outputs” on page 142).
The Anatel A643a alarm reporting facility also is used to report any detected Analyzer problems
such as a defective UV lamp or an excessively low sample temperature (see “Alarm Codes” on
page 175). Summary data on any limit excursion or Analyzer alarms are displayed on the
Controller by pressing the Alarm Key; detailed information is available on the printout.

7.2 Software Setup

There are two alarm variables which can be defined by the user. The Analyzer’s Alarm Setup
parameter specifies the level of the limit excursion that triggers an alarm condition. Beeper
Setup enables and disables the Controller’s audible alarm.

7.2.1 Alarm Setup

Note:
Default: TOC Alarm/500 ppb

The Alarm Setup parameter enables the alarm limits for the Anatel A643a and, in the case of
a TOC alarm, defines the limit at which the indication is triggered.

7.3 Alarm Reporting

The most common Anatel A643a fault condition is an Analyzer that measures a TOC value
greater than its specified TOC Alarm setting (see “Alarm Setup” on page 101). There are
several ways an alarm condition is reported:
• The associated Controller’s LCD display flashes.
• The Analyzer’s Channel LED flashes red.
• If enabled, the Controller beeps an audible alarm.
• If connected to a printer, a printout is generated documenting the fault. A High TOC
Alarm Warning is reported on a separate line and includes the limit that was exceeded:
High TOC Alarm: 560 ppb >[500 ppb]
• When connected, the signal at the Analyzer’s Digital Output #1 port is pulled low (see
“Digital Outputs” on page 142).
RPS - June 2007 - Edition 12

Fig 7-13 : Reported Sensor Alarm

Anatel Operator Manual

106 of 220 Anatel A643a Alarms - Anatel A643a

In the example, the LED indicating the instrument on Channel #4 has changed from green to
flashing red, indicating a TOC excursion. The user can acknowledge the alarm and display its
summary status by pressing the AKey.
The Controller LCD also is used to display Analyzer malfunctions, reported as Codes
(see “Alarm Codes” on page 175). Different than a limit excursion, a Code indicates an
electromechanical or analytical failure. The Analyzer’s Channel LED and the Controller’s
display still flash, but there is no audible alarm (regardless of the Beeper Setup) to alert the
user that there is a problem.

7.3.1 Uncompensated Conductivity Alarms

Alarms are reported for conductivity excursions only in the Uncompensated Mode (see “Sensor
Diagnostics” on page 182) and require that Conductivity and Uncompensated be selected in
the Display Units Menu.
The actual (uncompensated) conductivity limits are in accordance with the specifications set
forth in the method “<645> Water Conductivity” of the USP 25–NF 20 (January, 2002). These
temperature-based limits are:
Table 7-1 : Temperature-based Conductivity Limits

Temperature Conductivity Temperature Conductivity

(°C) (µS/cm) (°C) (µS/cm)
0 0.6 55 2.1
5 0.8 60 2.2
10 0.9 65 2.4
15 1.0 70 2.5
20 1.1 75 2.7
25 1.3 80 2.7
30 1.4 85 2.7
35 1.5 90 2.7
40 1.7 95 2.9
45 1.8 100 3.1
50 1.9

The actual sample water temperature is rounded downward to the nearest 5° increment in
order to establish the conductivity limit, thereby assuring any potential excursions are detected
early. For example, if the measured water temperature is 24.5 °C, the 20 °C limit is applied and
an alarm is generated if the conductivity exceeds 1.1 µS/cm.
RPS - June 2007 - Edition 12

To ensure agreement between all data outputs on the System, TOC, conductivity and
temperature values are all rounded to match the Controller’s accuracy for alarm limit checking,
display, printouts, and any digital outputs.

Anatel Operator Manual

108 of 220 Anatel A643a Alarms - Anatel A643a

When the uncompensated limit is exceeded, an alarm is generated and several things occur:
• The LED corresponding to the Anatel A643a Analyzer’s Channel ID flashes red on all of
its associated C80 Controllers.
• The alarm is logged and becomes available for display on any of those Controllers.
• If the Analyzer is attached to a local or a Gateway printer, a hardcopy of the condition is
generated containing the time of the excursion, the measured conductivity and
temperature, and the USP conductivity limit exceeded. For example:

12:07 Alarm 1.45 µS @ 33.2C >[1.4 @ 30C]

Excursions reported in subsequent analyses are output only at the normal user-specified
interval (or in response to a percent change in the readings) unless the sample water
conductivity falls below the specified limit. In that case, a new alarm report is output to
ensure that each limit excursion is recorded.
• The Sensor’s Digital Output #2 is asserted to allow alarm annunciation to an external
device (see “Hardware Setup” on page 143).

Fig 7-16 : Uncompensated Conductivity Alarm

7.4 Alarm Acknowledgement

A limit excursion is acknowledged by specifying the errant Analyzer and then pressing the
Alarm Key. Acknowledgement stops the Controller’s LCD from flashing, stops the flashing red
Channel ID, and silences the audible warning. If more than one alarm has been detected, all
must be acknowledged before these fault indications are terminated. The red Channel LED is
restored to green when the Analyzer’s TOC level falls below its set limit.
Acknowledgement presents the following alarm information on the Controller’s LCD display:

Line 1 The affected instrument’s Channel ID and its userentered Name.

Line 2 The cause of the alarm.
Line 3 The date and time the alarm was detected.
Line 4 The current number of alarms logged for the displayed Analyzer.

In the example, the message reports that the TOC level exceeded its specified alarm limit on
Channel #4. In the event of multiple excursions, the date and the time each alarm was detected
are displayed, as well as the total currently logged for the instrument.
Any additional (different) alarms for the Analyzer can be examined by pressing the Up and
Down Keys to scroll through its log. Once displayed, Codes are erased but still available on
the Analyzer’s internal log (see “Internal Log” on page 114). The alarm status of the other
Analyzers can be observed by pressing the Alarm Key repeatedly. If no fault conditions exist
for a particular instrument, “No Codes” is reported.
The Alarm Key also is used to acknowledge Anatel A643a Codes. When an Analyzer problem
is detected, it displays the following information:
Line 1 The affected instrument’s Channel ID and its userentered Name.
Line 2 The Code number representing the problem.
Line 3 A brief message describing the nature of the alarm.

8.1 General Information

All Anatel A643a Analyzers are equipped with an output port for a local printer, although the
643a–P is already equipped with an integral printer. Automatic hardcopy reports are generated
periodically, although printouts detailing individual Analyzer and global Network information
can be produced on demand through the Print Key. This function also furnishes access to the
Analyzer’s data log permitting the contents to be printed or its memory erased.

8.2 Hardware Setup

Printer connections are made to the PRINTER Port on the Analyzer’s Connector Block. This
RS-232C interface communicates at 1200 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and no parity. Three- or
five-conductor cable is adequate for most serial interfaces (AWG 24 is recommended),
depending on the particular printer.

CAUTION:
Always disconnect the instrument from its power source before attempting to access internal
components.

Note:
When supplied by Hach Ultra, the local printer’s interface cable is provided.

Printer output connections are made on the Analyzer’s I/O Connector Block as follows:
1) Turn the instrument OFF and disconnect the power cord from its source.
2) Remove the I/O Connector Block from the bottom of the Analyzer by loosening its four
screws.
3) Loosen and remove the two screws that secure the metal strain relief plate.
4) Feed the interface wiring through one of the five holes at the end of the Connector
Block cover and along the corresponding slot in the foam padding.

8.3 Software Setup

Hard copies of Analyzer data can be produced on demand and other print-related operations
can be performed. The available print options include the following functions:
• The ability to print and examine the Analyzer’s internal log.
• The capacity to print comprehensive Analyzer setup and factory configuration
parameters.

8.3.1 Internal Log

Note:
Default: Data & Audit

Each Anatel A643a Analyzer’s onboard log protects against data loss by chronologically
recording any events. An Audit Only selection in the Log Setup Menu records power cycles,
alarm codes and parameter changes. The default setting of Data & Audit also stores analysis
results and Purge Mode data. In either case, all events are time-stamped and the log is only
updated when information is sent to the printer. Any parameter changes have an additional line
containing the date and identifying the person who made the instrument change.
The log also tracks the Analyzer’s available memory. The amount of data stored in the log
depends on the Log Setup as well as the instrument’s TOC Print (see “Auto TOC Printout” on
page 69) and Purge Print (see “Purge Printouts” on page 72) settings. For example, with Data
& Audit selected and sampling at one-minute intervals in the Purge Mode, the log will retain
approximately two and a half days worth of information before it begins writing over the earliest
data recorded; sampling every six minutes would hold about 16 days of data. With Audit Only
selected and few changes made to the instrument, the log will store information for an indefinite
period.

9 Analog Outputs

9.1 General Information

Anatel A643a Analyzers provide two methods for outputting signals to external analog devices.
The first offers TOC data through the dedicated 4–20 mA port located on the instrument’s
Connector Block; the second outputs conductivity (or resistivity) and/or temperature data to
optional External DAC (Digitalto-Analog Conversion) Modules via the Analyzer’s
DIAGNOSTICS port. The output from the DAC Module is a 4-20 or a 0-20 mA signal which then
can be used by a variety of compatible analog devices.
This section describes how to establish hardware connections for the standard TOC output and
the optional External DAC output as well as how to set the necessary operational parameters
for each.

9.2 TOC Output

As noted, an analog signal corresponding to the Analyzer’s TOC reading is always available via
its 4-20 mA port. This current output may be converted to a voltage if desired by inserting a
conversion resistor into the wiring scheme.
Software settings determine the analog output range in addition to its corresponding zero-scale
and fullscale values. A user-specified signal also may be output to designate Anatel A643a
Analyzer alarms.

9.2.1 Hardware Setup

The Analyzer can generate an isolated current output ranging from 4-20 or 0-20 mA that is
proportional to its most recent TOC reading. This analog output drives resistances between 50
and 500 ohms, including the interconnecting cables. The signal can be converted to a voltage
output by incorporating an appropriate conversion resistor:
Table 9-1 : Conversion Reistors

4–20 mA 0–20 mA
Resistor
DC Voltage Range DC Voltage Range
50Ω 0.2–1 VDC 0–1 VDC
250Ω 1–5 VDC 0–5 VDC
500Ω 2–10 VDC 0–10 VDC

Note that the precision of the resistor directly affects the accuracy of the data. A 1% wirewound
resistor or better is recommended. For maximum data integrity, the resistor should be mounted
across the receiving device’s input terminals.
RPS - June 2007 - Edition 12

TOC Analog output connections are made to the Analyzer’s I/O Connector Block as follows:

9.2.2 Software Setup

The analog signal generated at the conclusion of an analysis cycle is calculated based on the
sample’s reading and represents TOC in ppb. The transmitted signal remains constant until the
next analysis cycle is complete. If a critical problem is encountered during a TOC analysis, the
analog output goes to a pre-defined state. Setting the TOC output consists of:
1) Specifying the analog output range.
2) Defining the associated zero-scale and full-scale values that establish the resolution of
that signal.
3) Establishing the signal that is to be output in the event of an Anatel A643a alarm.
4) Activating the DAC Calibration Output, if desired.

9.3 Optional Conductivity/Resistivity & Temperature Outputs

Note:
Resistivity DAC: P/N FG2006702
Temperature DAC: P/N FG2006802

The necessity for an analog output to report the Anatel A643a’s conductivity (or resistivity) and
temperature values is addressed through external Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) Modules.
A separate DAC Module is required for each desired analog output. Anatel supplies pre-
programmed, prewired DAC Modules to forward this processed information to a data
acquisition system, remote meter or other analog input device. Software setup of the External
DAC Module includes enabling the Analyzer output, defining its range as well as its zeroscale
and full-scale values, and the signal that is to be output in the event of an alarm.

9.3.1 Hardware Setup

Note:
Refer to the manufacturer’s manual for complete instructions on installing and using external
DAC Modules.

External DAC Modules are connected to the Anatel A643a at its DIAGNOSTICS Port. This
RS232C serial interface communicates at 1200 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and no parity.
Three- or five-conductor cable is adequate for this analog interface (AWG 24 is recommended).
Two DAC Modules can be daisychained to obtain both conductivity (or resistivity) and
temperature data and can be positioned up to 50 feet from the associated Analyzer. Anatel
provides five feet of cabling.

CAUTION:
RPS - June 2007 - Edition 12

Always disconnect the instrument from its power source before attempting to access internal
components.

9.3.2 Software Setup

The output signal generated at the conclusion of an analysis cycle is calculated based on the
sample’s reading and represents either conductivity (in µS/cm), resistivity (in M.-cm) or
temperature (in °C). The transmitted signal remains constant until the next analysis cycle is
complete. If a critical alarm is encountered during an analysis, the external analog output goes
to a pre-defined output state.
Setting the External DAC output consists of:
1) 1. Enabling the Analyzer’s DAC output.
2) Specifying the analog output range.
3) Defining the associated zero-scale and full-scale values that establish the resolution of
that signal.
4) Establishing the signal that is to be output in the event of an Anatel A643a alarm.

9.3.2.1 External DAC Module

Note:
Default: No

This software switch enables and disables the conductivity (or resistivity) and temperature
output to an External DAC Module. The Module then converts the output into an analog signal
for processing by a variety of devices. This signal also reflects the DAC Error Output (see
“DAC Error Output” on page 128) in the event of an Anatel A643a alarm.

10 Digital Inputs & Outputs

10.1 General Information

The Anatel A643a’s I/O Connector Block is equipped with two opto-isolated inputs and two
opto-isolated outputs for receiving and sending digital signals. The digital inputs allow limited
supervisory control of the Analyzer by a remote device or switch. A pair of digital outputs also
is provided for connection to such compatible devices as a remote alarm indicator or a
Programmable Logic Controller (PLC).

CAUTION:
Always disconnect the instrument from its power source before attempting to access internal
components.

CAUTION:
The Anatel A643a digital outputs ARE NOT designed for process control functions such as
pump On/Off switching or water system shutdown. These connections are not intended to act
as, or replace, a PLC.

Digital input and output connections are made on the instrument’s I/O Connector Block as
follows:
1) Turn the Anatel A643a Analyzer OFF and disconnect the power cord from its source.
2) Remove the I/O Connector Block from the bottom of the Analyzer by loosening its four
screws.
3) Loosen and remove the two screws that secure the metal strain relief plate.
4) Feed the interface wiring through one of the five holes at the end of the Connector
Block cover and along the corresponding slot in the foam padding.
5) Make the necessary connections to the appropriate DIGITAL terminals (see below).
Note:
Observe the correct polarity when making any digital input and output connections to the
Analyzer.

6) Replace the metal strain relief plate.

7) Replace the I/O Connector Block on the bottom of the Analyzer, taking care not to pinch
any wires, and secure it by tightening the screws.
Note:
The I/O Connector Block must be reinstalled correctly to conform to emissions specifications.

10.2 Digital Inputs

Both of the digital inputs perform specific Anatel A643a functions, allowing total control over its
operation as well as synchronization with the rest of the process. The first set of inputs is used
to initiate an analysis from an external device. The analysis is based on the instrument’s
specified Sample Time and Cycle Time settings. The second input dictates the instrument’s
operational mode as either Auto TOC or Purge. Both inputs also require that the Analyzer be
placed under Digital Control.

10.2.1 Hardware Setup

The two digital inputs share a common positive terminal. They are driven by a 5 to 30 VDC
external power source or the Analyzer’s 12 VDC, 0.5 Amp Bias and designed to operate from
open collector, open drain or relay outputs. Each input draws between 1 and 14 mA, depending
on the applied voltage. The hardware connections are established as described in “General
Information” on page 139, the Inputs terminals having the following designations and functions:
IN1* Allows external initiation of an analysis. When Input #2 selects the Auto TOC Mode, a
high-to-low state transition forces the instrument to initiate an analysis cycle.
IN2* Selects between the Auto TOC (high state) and the Purge (low state) Mode. State
transitions are ignored on IN1* when the instrument is in the Purge Mode.

communicate with a wide variety of intelligent devices such as a Programmable Logic
Controller (PLC) or a host computer. The wiring is configured as for any PC-compatible
RS-232C serial interface.

12.2 Hardware Setup

Serial connections are made to the Analyzer on its DATA ACQUISITION Port. This RS-232C
connection communicates at 1200 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and no parity. Three- or five-
conductor cable is adequate for most serial interfaces (AWG 24 is recommended), depending
on the connected device.

Note:
Always disconnect the instrument from its power source before attempting to access internal
components.

Interface connections are made on the instrument’s I/O Connector Block as follows:
1) Turn the Anatel A643a Analyzer OFF and disconnect the power cord from its source.
2) Remove the I/O Connector Block from the bottom of the Analyzer by loosening its four
screws.
3) Loosen and remove the two screws that secure the metal strain relief plate.
4) Feed the interface wiring through one of the five holes at the end of the Connector
Block cover and along the corresponding slot in the foam padding.

12.3 Anatel A643a Command Set

Serial interface commands consist of Mode Set, Parameter Set, Data Read, Data Logger and
Data History functions. The commands consist of twocharacter ASCII text mnemonics. Some
commands also require one or more arguments, each delimited by at least one space (ASCII
32; 20 Hex), followed by the command mnemonic. Each command string is terminated with a
carriage return (ASCII 13; 0D Hex).
Note:
Anatel A643a Analyzers respond to either uppercase or lowercase commands.

The Anatel A643a Analyzer will respond with an “OK>” prompt after the command has been
accepted. In addition, Data Read and Parameter Set commands elicit a reply that consists of
one or more numeric or text values, each delimited by at least one space, and terminated by a
carriage return, linefeed pair (ASCII 13,10; 0D,0A Hex).
Both commands and replies use a “free field” format, so the number of delimiting spaces and
length of each argument or data field may vary. If a command is rejected due to invalid syntax,
for instance, refusal is indicated by a question mark (ASCII63; 3F Hex) reply preceding the
“OK>” prompt.
The notations used to represent command arguments below are as follows:

hh:mm:ss hours:minutes:seconds
n decimal number (e.g., “1.234)
i integer (e.g., “1”)
s text string (e.g., “SENSOR_NAME”)
b binary flag (“1” or “0”)

12.3.1 Mode Set Commands

The Mode Set commands are used to determine the instrument’s operational mode.

Table 12-1 : Mode Set Commands

Command Function Comment

MC Self-Clean Mode Valve open, lamp on.
MD Auto TOC Mode Continuous TOC analyses.
ME Clear Code Log Erases Codes from memory.
MO i Start TOC Analysis One or more TOC analyses, then goes to Idle State. The default is
one analysis cycle if an argument (“i”) is not specified.
MP Purge Mode Valve open, lamp off, shows resistivity/conductivity and temperature.
MZ Idle State Places the Analyzer in the Idle State (if present).

13 Anatel A643a Maintenance

13.1 General Information

Anatel A643a Analyzers require periodic maintenance in order to ensure the continued
accuracy and reliable performance of the instrument. The UV lamp has a limited life and should
be replaced every six months. It is recommended that the measurement cell have an annual
calibration verification. The lithium battery has a service life of 3–5 years.
Maintenance procedures may be performed either by the user or by Anatel customer service
personnel. The most common maintenance procedures are UV lamp replacement, cleaning
the air filters, lithium battery replacement and printer maintenance. In most instances, the user
can perform these procedures in the field. If problems persist after performing maintenance or
repair procedures, contact the Hach Ultra Customer Service department at 541.472.6500.
Should it be necessary to return Anatel equipment to the factory for maintenance or repair,
obtain a Return Materials Authorization (RMA) number. At that time furnish the Model and
serial number, and any additional relevant information. Ship the instrument(s) to Hach Ultra,
Attn: RMA #xxxx.

CAUTION:
Purge all water from the Analyzer when taking the instrument out of service. Residual water
can freeze inside the unit, expand and damage the measurement cell. Such damage is
timeconsuming to repair and is not covered by the warranty.

Anatel also offers service and extended warranty options to cover scheduled maintenance,
calibration and repairs. In cases where returning the Analyzer to the factory is impractical, on-
site maintenance and/or verification can be performed by an Anatel technician, or a certified
instrument may be rented. Repairs are performed only at Hach Ultra Service Centers due to the
specialized equipment and parts required.

13.2 Self-Cleaning Mode

It is possible to contaminate an Anatel A643a Analyzer’s measurement cell on any water

system or after long-term storage or inactivity. This condition is indicated by suddenly changing
or erratic TOC or resistivity readings. Extended self-cleaning using the ultraviolet lamp to
oxidize contaminants in the cell is the recommended procedure to alleviate such problems. In
the Self-Clean Mode, the Analyzer’s sample valve is opened to allow water to flow through the
cell. The UV lamp is turned on to oxidize any organic contaminants, which subsequently are
flushed from the instrument by the sample flow.
Note:
The Anatel A643a Analyzer must have the sample vessel attached and be on-line with sample
pressure so that there is flow through the instrument.

The following alarm messages also may indicate a deteriorated UV Lamp, requiring that it be
replaced:
• Code 31: See Guide
• Code 32: See Guide
• Code 53: UV Lamp Bad
These messages continue until the UV Lamp is replaced and the Anatel A643a’s internal
counter is reset.

13.4.1 UV Detect Technology

An A643a analyzer equipped with UV Detect will automatically monitor the output of the UV
lamp and alert when the UV output is indicative of a failing lamp or if the lamp has failed
completely and can no longer support proper oxidation. Code 52 indicates a failing lamp.
Code 53 indicates a failed lamp.
Failing Lamp Indications in TOC Analysis Mode:
When Code 52 is indicated by UV Detect, the analyzer UV lamp should be replaced as soon as
possible. UV Detect will generate a Code 52 when the UV output from the lamp has reached a
level that indicate a failing lamp. At this level of UV output the analyzer will continue to oxidize
adequately, but lamp life is extremely limited.
When a failing lamp is detected the analyzer will display Code 52 UV Lamp on the C80
controller alarm status screen and the associated LED for the analyzer will blink Red. If a
printer is connected to the analyzer Code 52 UV Failing will be printed following each TOC
analysis, and the following message will be printed every eight hours - Urgent: U.V. lamp needs
replacement consult your manual or call the Anatel Service Dept. @ 800-866-7889.
Note:
Under Code 52 the analyzer will continue to perform TOC analysis, but the lamp life is limited
and should be replaced as soon as possible.

Bad Lamp Indications in TOC Analysis Mode:

When Code 53 is indicated by UV Detect the analyzer lamp has failed and must be replaced.
Code 53 is an indication that the UV lamp has failed and no longer supports proper analyzer
operation.
Under a Code 53 condition the lamp is no longer outputting adequate levels of UV light to
support proper sample oxidation. TOC analysis is no longer supported and the C80 display will
display 53-UV Lamp Bad.
When a bad lamp is detected the analyzer will display Code 53 UV Lamp on the C80 controller
alarm status screen and the associated LED for the analyzer will blink Red. If a printer is
connected to the analyzer Code 53 UV Lamp Bad will be printed following each attempt at a
TOC analysis, along with the following message - Urgent: U.V. lamp needs immediate
replacement, consult your manual or call the Anatel Service Dept. @ 800-866-7889.

Removing the existing battery will erase the Anatel A643a’s parameter settings. Print them
(see “Printouts” on page 117) if they differ from the factory settings so they can be restored after
the battery is replaced. It also will be necessary to recalibrate the instrument following this
procedure (see “Calibration and Validation” on page 81).

CAUTION:
The A643a TOC Analyzer contains sensitive electronic components: take proper precautions
to avoid potential damage due to electrostatic discharge (ESD).

To check or replace the instrument’s lithium battery:

1) Remove the Analyzer’s Electronics Cover as outlined in “Preparatory Maintenance
Procedures” on page 157.
2) Remove the Power Supply Assembly from the enclosure, being careful not to
disconnect its DC power cable from the circuit board backplane.
3) Remove the 26-pin ribbon cable from the upper processor board and move it out of the
way. On Access 643P portable instruments, also disconnect the 6-conductor flexible
cable to the display module from the processor board.

6) Check the battery with a voltmeter. A voltage of 3.2 to 3.6 VDC is normal; less than
3.0 VDC and the lithium battery should be replaced.

Note:
When replacing the battery, ensure that the positive (+) indicator on the battery is inserted at
the positive end of battery holder.

To replace the battery:

7) Cut the plastic cable tie and remove the old battery. Place the new battery in its holder,
making sure to observe polarity.
8) Secure the battery in its holder with the new cable tie that is supplied with it.
9) Firmly but gently slide the boards back into the enclosure until they seat in their
connectors.

Fig 13-18 : Replace Battery

10) Reconnect the lower 26-pin cable and secure it in place in its connector by latching the
tabs. The solid red line (designating Pin #1) should be positioned on the right side of
the connector. Also tuck the ribbon cable back so that it does not obstruct the air filter
located in the bottom of the enclosure.

11) Position the DC power cable on the right side of the flexible ribbon cable before
reconnecting it to the processor board. For Access 643P Analyzers, the connector is
the leftmost set of pins at the end of the processor board; for Anatel A643a Analyzers,
it is the rightmost set of pins. In either case, the black dotted line (indicating Pin #1) on
the ribbon cable should be on the right side.
12) Tuck the DC power cable in front of the flexible cable to prevent it from contacting
exposed blades of the fan assembly and replace the Electronics Cover. Make sure the
DC cable is not pinched between the power supply and the circuit boards.
13) Restore AC power to the Sensor. The Controller initially will report Code 10 and
Code 11: Check Battery when the Analyzer is first turned ON. This display is normal
and should be ignored.
14) Referring to the printout and “Anatel A643a Setup” on page 51, restore any parameter
settings that differ from the factory defaults, including the access password if one was
specified.
15) Set the Analyzer’s internal clock as described in “System Time” on page 22.

14 Troubleshooting

14.1 General Information

In addition to the standard self-tests conducted by the Anatel A643a during its analyses, an
extended diagnostic and reporting facility is incorporated to inform the user about the nature of
a problem. Alarm Codes, in conjunction with user-initiated diagnostic tests, serve to isolate the
source of the problem.
The checksum value of the Analyzer’s controlling EPROM and its current firmware version may
be displayed by pressing the Chnl Key twice. This ROM checksum is routinely calculated as
part of the instrument’s power-up diagnostics and is the same checksum value that would be
produced by a device programmer. The ROM checksum and firmware version are also
available on the Sensor Factory Configuration printout (see “Printouts” on page 117).

14.2 Alarm Codes

Functional range and logic checks are reviewed continuously to determine the functional status
of each instrument during every analysis. If one or more alarms is detected, the Controller’s
display and the faulty Anatel A643a’s corresponding LED begin flashing (see “Alarm Reporting”
on page 105). The appropriate Code is logged for display and output to the printer. Any
reported problems fall into two code classifications: hardware and water chemistry.
Hardware alarms (Codes 1-99) are indicative of either an electromechanical or analytical
failure of the Analyzer. These alarms could result from such conditions as an exhausted UV
lamp, a faulty solenoid valve or a hardware malfunction.
Computational results are still reported, and a recovery is attempted by initiating a new analysis
cycle. If the recovery is successful, the red Channel LED returns to green (although the alarm
is logged for display on the Controller and output to the associated printer) and normal
operation resumes.
If the recovery is unsuccessful, attempts persist and the results of the most recent successful
analysis are displayed. The Controller display and the Channel LED continue to flash red
until acknowledged by pressing the Alarm Key. Once acknowledged, the relevant Code is
displayed and the Controller stops flashing. But the Channel LED is not restored to green until
a successful analysis cycle is completed. If an alarm occurs during a diagnostic test, the
Analyzer will not attempt another measurement until the displayed alarm is acknowledged by
pressing the Alarm Key. After the problem has been corrected, the diagnostic test may be
re-initialized.
Each instrument maintains a log consisting of the Code number, the total number of
occurrences of that particular type of alarm and a time stamp of its initial occurrence. The log
is erased whenever power is cycled on the instrument or when the ME command is issued (see
“Mode Set Commands” on page 149).

14.3 Troubleshooting

With the exception of Codes 4, 10, 11 and 18, the Electromechanical Alarms are not
userserviceable. A Code 4 alarm, if caused by changing the lithium battery, will result in lost
data that cannot be recovered. A Code 10 alarm can be corrected by restoring the factory
default parameters (see “Factory Defaults” on page 51), then modifying them as necessary.
A Code 11: Check Battery can be corrected by replacing the battery (see “Lithium Battery
Replacement” on page 166). A Code 18 or Code 137 alarm indicates faulty communications;
check A-Net wiring and contact Anatel if the problem persists.
The following alarms warrant a general check to verify that the isolation valve is open and the
instrument’s sample valve is functional. This is done by watching the output of the drain line
through an entire analysis. Flow should be unrestricted during the Sample Time, there should
be absolutely no flow (watch for dripping from the drain tubing) during oxidation, and there
should be no bubbles evident in the drain line at the start of a new analysis. In the case of
alarms 34–36, an hour or more of self-cleaning is recommended (see “Self-Cleaning Mode” on
page 155).

Code Corrective Action

27/29 Check the water supply to the instrument for unobstructed, bubble-free flow or sample vial
empty.
32/33 Check UV lamp connections; replace the UV lamp assembly if necessary.
34 If TOC is greater than 1000 ppb or the Analyzer has been idle for a long period prior to
RPS - June 2007 - Edition 12

analysis, place the instrument in the Self-Clean Mode for at least one hour before attempting
another analysis. If the problem persists, it is either a hardware problem or an unsuitable
application; contact Anatel.
35 The sample valve is plugged or the UV lamp is going bad. Replace the UV lamp if
necessary.

Code Corrective Action

36 In some cases, the accuracy of the reported TOC value may be affected by the presence of
certain ions. This condition occurs primarily in water with less than 5 megohm-cm resistivity.
If it persists, the sample water is unsuitable for Anatel A643a analysis.
37/38 Temperatures outside the range of 5 °C to 95 °C are considered hardware failures. If not, the
sample is beyond the instrument’s specifications.
39/40 An alert that the quality of the sample water is outside the instrument’s optimum
performance range. Measure the resistivity of the sample water. Large discrepancies in the
measurements may be due to a hardware failure; contact Anatel.
41 Reports a suspended analysis cycle and does not affect instrument operation.
42 Replace the UV lamp (see “UV Lamp Maintenance” on page 158).
44–50 Repeat the test. For an alarm “Code 50,” remove the vial, install the sample vessel and
acknowledge to continue. Contact Anatel if failure continues.
52 Replace UV lamp as soon as possible. UV Detect has measured UV output that indicate a
the UV lamp is beginning to fail.
53 Replace UV lamp immediately. UV Detect has measured UV output below adequate levels.

CAUTION:
When quitting a calibration or validation test after a reported failure (Codes 44–50), press the
Manual Key and remove sample vial, replacing it with the sample vessel as prompted. This
precaution ensures that the sample vial won’t accidentally be blown off the sample needle by
pressure applied from an on-line water source.

During an analysis, the TOC and/or conductivity (or resistivity) must fall within an acceptable
range depending on the chemical being measured. A screen identifying the chemical and the
failure value is displayed if the range is exceeded.

CAUTION:
Drain all water from the Analyzer when taking the instrument out of service (see “Draining the
Instrument” on page 181). Residual water will freeze inside the unit, expand and damage the
measurement cell. Such damage is time-consuming to repair and is not covered by the
warranty.

Operator Manual Anatel

 Anatel A643a - Troubleshooting 181 of 220

14.3.1 Draining the Instrument

It is extremely important to drain the Anatel A643a of all water whenever the instrument is
removed from its source for two reasons:
• When the Analyzer is removed from service for temporary or long term storage (longer
than a month), any water remaining in the measurement cell is a medium for bacteria
growth. In addition, elements contained in the sample water will settle and adhere to the
instrument components causing contamination. It is strongly recommended that the
Analyzer self-clean for an extended period of time when reinstalling it to ensure accurate
and stable data.
• Draining the water out of the Analyzer also avoids freeze damage. If the Analyzer is
stored or shipped in an extremely cold environment, the water inside the instrument will
expand and could severely damage sensitive components. Replacing these components
is expensive and will increase the amount of repair time as much as a week.
Note:
Remember that an instrument stored in a warehouse in the winter can be freeze-damaged if
water is left inside and a unit shipped from a warm climate to a cold climate is exposed to
extreme temperatures en route.

To purge the Anatel A643a of entrained water:

1) Press the ON/OFF button to turn the Analyzer off.
2) Close the (user-supplied) upstream isolation valve to terminate the water supply to the
Analyzer.
3) Remove the sample vessel and empty it of any residual water.
4) Disconnect the sample tubing from the WATER IN connection. A small amount of
water will be present in the instrument and its plumbing. The water drains from this
connection due to gravity and its location at the bottom of the Analyzer’s measurement
cell. Take steps to catch this water when the tubing is disconnected so it doesn’t spill
onto the work surface.
5) Press the ON/OFF button once again to restore power to the Analyzer.
6) Press the Manual Key to access its menu selections.
7) Use the Up and Down Keys to select Manual Samples then press Enter.
8) Select Grab Sample to run a manual measurement and flush the Analyzer of any
entrained water.
9) If necessary, press Esc and repeat step 6 through step 8. When the water is
completely drained, press eto exit this operational mode.
Note:
Once the water is drained from the Analyzer cell, a Code 27: Conductivity Range may be
reported. This is normal due to the dry measurement cell.

10) Turn the Analyzer off, disconnect it from its power supply, and cap the plumbing

14.4 Sensor Diagnostics

Diagnostic tests conducted on individual Analyzers can be quite helpful in isolating the source
of a reported alarm. The C80 Controller software is equipped with a series of user-initiated
diagnostic and reporting capabilities that are designed to facilitate the resolution of detected
problems. These internal tests can be conducted to verify the instrument’s electronic, analysis
and communications components to assure that they are functioning properly. The results of
these diagnostic tests are reported on the display as well as on an automatic printout.

14.4.3 I/O Tests

These diagnostics verify the operation of the Anatel A643a’s serial and digital I/O circuits. An
external loopback connector is required for these tests and should be attached to the
appropriate Analyzer port.
To check operation of the I/O connections:
1) With the Analyzer’s Diagnostics Menu displayed, specify I/O and press Enter to
access its options. The I/O Menu offers two options:

RS–232 Test Runs an individual loopback test on each of the connected serial
ports. A jumper must be applied to the RxD and TxD terminals on
each of the instrument’s serial ports as shown.
Digital I/O Verifies the instrument’s digital input and output connectors. A
jumper must be applied across the Analyzer’s digital input and
output terminals as shown.
DAC Out Test Verifies the instrument’s analog output to an optional external DAC
module.

Appendix E: Material Data Safety Sheets

There are some inherent hazards associated with using the Anatel 643a TOC Analyzers.
1,4-benzoquinone, for instance, is one of the reagents that is used for system suitability testing
of the instrument. This chemical produces hazardous waste byproducts. The resulting effluent
is potentially dangerous both personally and environmentally.

CAUTION:
In the event of instrument failure, the sample discharge may contain 1,4-benzoquinone,
a hazardous substance.

Exercise extreme care and use established handling practices when working with chemicals.
All chemicals should be considered hazardous—avoid direct contact with skin or clothing.
Refer to Section 2.3.2 for recommendations on properly plumbing the instrument; Anatel 643a
wastes must be disposed of in accordance with all applicable local regulations.
The attached Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are furnished to provide users with the
chemical properties and precautionary procedures for the reagents and calibration standards
recommended for use in the Anatel 643a. Anatel cannot be responsible for the ultimate
suitability or regulatory compliance of the chemicals used.
Note:
Hach Ultra cannot address all health and safety issues associated with using the Anatel 643a
Analyzer. Inherent dangers include the handling of hazardous chemicals. It is strongly
recommended that you read the Operator Manual thoroughly before installing or operating
the instrument. If you have any questions regarding the Anatel 643a, contact:

 Anatel A643a - Glossary 211 of 220

Appendix F: Glossary

Several of the terms used throughout this Operator Manual have specific meaning within high-
purity water applications. These unique terms include:
Conductivity A measure of the ability to conduct current through water. Conductivity,
very low with high-purity deionized water, is the reciprocal of resistivity and
is measured in microsiemens per centimeter (µS/cm).
High-Purity A term that differentiates between simple deionized water and the purer
Water (HPW) water required for more critical processes. High-purity implies water that is
low in potential contaminants such as ions, microorganisms, organics and
particles.
Megohm (MW) A measurement of 1,000,000 ohms.
Microsiemens A unit of conductance in the metric system equivalent to one millionth of an
(µS) ampere per volt (1 µS = 1 M.).
Organic Organic chemicals which include carbon atoms in complex molecules, but
do not include carbonate (CO2, HCO3, CO3) or cyanide (CN) related
compounds. Oxygen is very common in organics and they almost always
include hydrogen.
Oxidation The loss of electrons by a chemical species, typically with oxygen. Organic
carbon, for example, oxidizes to carbon dioxide and water.
Parts per billion A term used to report trace chemical analyses. It refers to the concentration
(ppb) of the element or compound present within one billion parts of water. One
microgram per liter (µg/L) is equal to 1 ppb).
Resistivity Resistance, measured in megohmcentimeters (MΩ-cm), to the flow of
electrical current through high-purity water. Resistivity is a means of
continuously measuring the purity of the water and is the reciprocal of
conductivity.
Temperature Conductivity and resistivity of electric current in water depend on the
Compensation temperature of the water. The lower the temperature, the lower the
conductivity and the higher the resistivity. Conductivity and resistivity
measurements typically are normalized to 25°C. In other words, they reflect
the values they would report at a sample temperature of 25 °C using a
model based on sodium chloride in water.
Total Organic A measurement of the organics present in water based on it carbon
Carbon (TOC) content. High-purity water measures TOC in parts per billion (ppb). This
term is used interchangeably with total oxidizable carbon.
