using reagents, chemicals and cleaning agents. Observe the relevant

safety data sheet! For reagents we supply, the relevant safety data

sheets are available online at www.heylanalysis.de.

Intended use

The scope of use of the Testomat®Modul TH is the automatic deter-

mination and monitoring of the residual total hardness (water hard-

ness) in water. In the process, the required measurement scope is

determined based on the selected indicator and corresponding user

programming.

Comply with the output limits specified in the Technical data section

on page 46.

Observe the areas and limits of application of the indicators and the

requirements imposed by the medium to be measured.

The scope of intended use presumes that you have read and under-

stood the instructions and particularly the section Important safety

information.

Improper use is deemed to occur if you use the device

•outside the applicable scope, as specified in these instructions,

•under operating conditions that deviate from the scope specified in

these instructions.

Qualification of personnel

The assembly and commissioning require basic electrical and pro-

cess engineering expertise as well as knowledge of the applicable

specialist terms. The assembly and commissioning must therefore be

performed only by a specialist or a properly trained person instructed

and supervised by a specialist.

A specialist is a person who can draw on professional training,

knowledge and experience as well as knowledge of applicable provi-

sions to assess work assigned to him/her, detect potential hazards

and implement suitable safety measures. A specialist must comply

with the applicable professional rules.

facturer.

Special attention is required at this point

General Information

•During assembly and commissioning, observe the specific national

and local requirements.

•Observe the accident prevention and conservation requirements in

the country of use and at the installation site.

•Make no changes or modifications to the device that go beyond the

scope of use specified in these instructions. Doing so will void the

warranty.

Requirements for the installation site

Ensure that the following conditions are met at the installation site:

•Use the device in indoor locations only.

•The ambient temperature is between 10 and 40 °C.

•The installation site is at altitudes under 2000 m.

•The maximum relative humidity is 80 % at temperatures of up to

31 °C (linear declining up to 50 % relative humidity at 40 °C).

SIGNAL WORD!

WARNING

CAUTION

DANGER

NOTE

WARNING

Important safety information

•The device must always be protected against wetness and mois-

ture. Under no circumstances may it be exposed to splashed water

or condensate.

•Surge category II

•Soiling degree II

Requirements of cable for operating voltage and

system components and installed lines

Use only cables and installed lines which meet the following require-

ments:

•The terminal strips on the circuit board require core cross-sections

of between 0.08 and 2.5 mm2. This applies to single-wire and fine-

wire cores with wire end ferrules without plastic collar.

For fine-wire cores with wire end ferrules and plastic collar, the

cross-section may be up to 1.5 mm2.

For single-wire cores, AWG28 –AWG12 can also be used.

•The cable ducts installed by the manufacturer in the device have a

clamping range of 4.5 to 10 mm. This means that the external di-

ameter of the laid cable must remain within the range of 4.5 to 10

mm. If you use other ducts, the cable diameters must correspond

to the ducts.

Optimum cross-section of the cores

If the core cross-section is less than 0.5 mm2, jamming may occur

when the cores are loosened from the terminal strip. We therefore

recommend using wires with cross-sections greater than 0.5 mm2.

Requirements for cable ducts

•The recesses in the housing are intended for M16 ducts.

•The ducts should have a smooth and rounded opening (to protect

against bending and abrasion).

•The duct should include a strain relief that prevents slippage of the

cable and that cannot be disengaged without a tool.

•You can order cable ducts from us as spare parts (see Testomat®

Modul TH spare parts and accessories on page 44).

NOTE

Important safety information

During assembly

•Always disconnect the relevant system component from the power

source before assembling the device or connecting it to the power

supply or disconnecting it from the same. Prevent any inadvertent

reactivation of the device.

•Only connect the device to the operating voltage as specified on

the type plate.

•Observe the technical data and the environmental parameters.

•The connections for operating voltage and relay outputs must be

laid separately from each other, to guarantee corresponding insu-

lation between the cables.

Avoiding interference voltages

The Testomat®Modul TH device requires stable and uninterrupted

supply voltage. Where applicable, use a mains filter to shield the

Testomat®Modul TH device from interference voltages, which may

be generated for example within the network by magnetic valves or

large-scale engines. Never lay the connecting cables in parallel to

mains cables.

Handling may cause damage or destruction of electrical compo-

nents!

If you need to open the upper door, you should take the necessary

safety measures to avoid electrostatic discharge onto the compo-

nents (ESD safety).

Make sure you are earthed before opening the casing.

During operation

•The device has no On/Off switch.

Use an external switch to turn the unit on and off. The switch must

be installed next to the device and must be marked as power

switch for the device - for example with a label.

•Ensure that the maximum electrical load capacity of the switching

outputs is not exceeded, particularly for inductive loads. The power

supply for the user inclusive device is secured with a 1 A fuse,

which means the total of all loads must not reach 1 A.

•In the event of any malfunctions, immediately switch off the Tes-

tomat®Modul TH device and inform the service personnel. Never

attempt to repair the Testomat®Modul TH device yourself. Doing

so will invalidate the guarantee. Repairs must be performed by au-

thorized service personnel only.

WARNING

NOTE

ATTENTION

Important safety information

During cleaning

•Only use a dry and lint-free cloth to clean the device.

•Maintenance and care instructions are included in the section

Maintenance on page 39.

Repairing a defective device

•A defective device, regardless of the guarantee period, can be

serviced only when the device is dismantled and the error is de-

scribed. Also inform us of the indicator type currently in use and

the measured medium. Make no changes or modifications to the

device that go beyond the scope of use specified in these instruc-

tions. Doing so will void the warranty. This applies particularly to

the measuring chamber, the seal of which must remain undam-

aged. If you send the device in for repair, completely empty the

measuring chamber and remove the indicator bottle and the drain

funnel.

Before dismantling, the type of error must be noted (error number,

error effect, log file of the SD card).

•Once a protective device has been triggered (safety fuse), initially

try resolving the cause of error (e.g. by replacing a defective

valve), before reactivating the protective device. Frequent trigger-

ing always signifies an error, which under certain circumstances

may also damage the device.

During disposal

•Dispose of the device in accordance with the regulations of your

country.

Batteries:

The device is built with a removable lithium battery (CR2032 / 3V)

made by VARTA or similar.

Batteries and devices must be disposed of separately! Dispose

of batteries in accordance with the guidelines in your country.

Important safety information

Operating requirements

•Wait at least 5 seconds before switching the instrument on and

then off again at the main switch.

•Problem-free operation of the Testomat®device is only possible

when using Heyl Testomat 2000®indicators and only within the pH

range of 4 –10.5! Using external indicators may invalidate the

guarantee.

•Only operate the device within the scope of parameters specified

under section Technical data on page 46.

•For Testomat®devices used to monitor water hardness, large

quantities of heavy metal ions in the hardened water may disturb

the color reaction, particularly

oIron over 0.5 mg/I

oCopper over 0.1 mg/I

oAluminum over 0.1 mg/l (brown-red color indication).

•If the test water contains more than 20 mg/I CO2 (carbonic acid),

erroneous evaluations cannot be ruled out. In this case, use an ir-

rigator (e.g. optional accessory from Gebr. Heyl.).

•The water to be measured must be clean and free of bubbles!

•The concentrations of disruptive ingredients can be determined

with colorimetric TESTOVAL® test comparators from Gebr. Heyl.

•Erroneous evaluations can occur in the event of

oexcessive carbonate hardness

othe presence of disinfecting agents

othe presence of silicate (used to protect pipes). The measur-

ing chamber may become soiled.

•Careful handling of the device enhances the operational safety and

the service life! With this in mind, perform a visual inspection of the

device at regular intervals as follows:

oHas the expiry date of the indicator elapsed?

oAre the hose connections of the dosing pump leakproof?

oIs there any air in the dosing hoses?

oAre all water connections leakproof?

oIs the device excessively soiled?

oAre the measuring chamber and drain channel/drain hose

clean?

•Problem-free operation is contingent on regular maintenance!

Maintenance and care instructions can be found in the Mainte-

nance section on page 39.

•Indications of problems can be found in the Error messages and

troubleshooting section on page 35.
