6.1.6 CheckingElectrodeMechanismBlock
Check as follows that the electrode rotates normally. Put the electrode in the maintenance position
(Figure6.3)orliftthecover,andcheckthefollowing:
• Thereshouldbeonlyaslightsoundfromthebeltoraxleswhentheelectroderotates.
There should not be any sound like items making contact or vibrating.
• There should be no unevenness or vibration.
• The drive belt should not be visibly loose, resulting in a loss of traction.

After replacing the electrode mechanism block in the tank, attach the cover. Stop the rotation of the
electrode. Switch the converter to <CELL> mode (display CELL. ON and press

6.1.8 SettingOperationParameters
When the FC400G Free Available Chlorine Analyzer arrives at your site, it will operate based on the
initial data set at the time of shipment.
Settheappropriateparameterstosuityouroperationconditions.RefertoSec.6.3forthetypesand
operations of setting parameters. Key operations for displaying the setting mode items and setting
data are described in Chapter 5.
6.1.9 Calibration
Operate the FC400G for at least one hour under normal operating conditions before calibrating.
(Note) The electrode characteristics are not stable immediately after cleaning the electrode, this is the reason for leaving the instrument
running for a while before calibrating it.
Refer to Chapter 7 for calibration requirements.
