Operating instructions
In normal operation, all control functions are performed automatically. Please refer to the maintenance
schedule for the regular maintenance activities to be carried out by the operating personnel.
A regular check of the pH electrode ensures the functionality of the unit and thus compliance with legal
requirements.
Attention! Risk of non-compliance with limit values. Regular recalibration ensures the functionality of the
unit and thus compliance with the required limit values.
Calibration of the pH electrode
Before calibration
Please note the following points in advance:
•Before the first calibration, a pH electrode must first be placed in normal drinking water (not
demineralised water!) for several hours in order to provide accurate measurement data.
•Also use normal drinking water to rinse the electrode.
•Please observe the electrode manufacturer's instructions on the supplementary sheet enclosed
with each probe. If the supplementary sheet is no longer available, you can of course obtain a
replacement from Kyocera.
•The glass membrane of the electrode is very sensitive to mechanical influences. Please proceed
with appropriate caution during the calibration process.

Remove the pH electrode from the fitting (see section "Disassembly")
and clean carefully with water. When cleaning is complete, press
to continue.
3
Immerse the pH electrode in buffer 1 and wait for a stable measured
value (pH value in the top line), accept the measured value with the
button or set the correct buffer value with the or
buttons.
4
Remove the pH electrode from buffer 1 and clean it carefully with
water. When cleaning is complete, press to continue.
5
Immerse the pH electrode in buffer 2 and wait for a stable measured
value (pH value in the top line), accept the measured value with the
button or set the correct buffer value with the or
buttons.
6
Calibration log is displayed. This calibration data is permanently
saved in the control system as soon as the button is pressed.
Calibration is now complete and the control system returns to
automatic mode.
Information in the calibration log
The values in the top two lines indicate which buffer was used for calibration and which internal values
were measured. These values can be helpful for troubleshooting, but are not relevant for calibration.
The lower lines indicate the zero point and the slope of the calibration. The further the zero-point deviates
from the ideal value (0 mV), the greater the shift in the zero point. This is a quality criterion, a value
greater than +/- 50 mV is an indication of "poisoning" of the electrode, the electrode should be replaced
as soon as possible.
The steepness of the electrode serves as a further quality criterion. This is the ratio of the actual
measured value to the theoretical value (-59 mV/pH). A slope of less than 80% is also an indication that
the electrode will soon fail, so it should be replaced as a precaution.
Note: If the slope is below 80%, the electrode no longer measures reliably and should be
replaced immediately!
Notes:
If a fault occurs during calibration, this is shown on the display at the end of the calibration process.
Please repeat the calibration.
Topping up the chemicals
The chemical tanks of the neutralisation unit should be checked from time to time by checking the level
on the sight glass. Refilling is necessary if the fill level falls significantly below 5 litres.
Please proceed as follows:
•Switch off the unit
•Unscrew and remove the plug from the empty container

Instruction manual | Status - November 2023 Page 15
Attention: It is essential to wear protective goggles, gloves and
protective clothing when carrying out the following steps, as accidents
involving acid and alkali can result in severe burns.
Filling the acid and alkali tank
•Pull the container out forwards until it locks in place or
remove the container from the holder (sketch) and place it
on a stable surface
•Unscrew the cover
•Fill acid and alkali tank with:
Hydrochloric acid HCl or caustic soda NaOH,
maximum concentration 20%, technical quality sufficient!
Never mix acid and alkali, as this will lead to a violent reaction between the chemicals and
generate a lot of heat!
Risk of tipping! Do not place the chemical canister on the tank when filling.
Please adhere to the specified concentration. At higher concentrations, the service life of the
seals is considerably reduced.
After filling
•Screw the cover on
•Remove any contamination (splashes) immediately.
•Put the tank back into the holder and make sure it is seated correctly.
•Insert the plug into the control system and lock it.
•Switch the unit on again.
Tip: When filling the chemicals for the first time, the tanks should be filled no more than half full, as
they must be removed again by the service department during commissioning activities or in the
event of a leak in the chemical container (e.g.: damage during transport).

10.ASSEMBLY
Quality control
Kyocera laboratory equipment has been used for several years to protect the environment and building
structures. Strict quality control of every device delivered ensures that our products only leave our
premises in perfect condition.
Unpacking
To prevent damage to the device, transport and removal of the packaging as well as assembly should be
carried out with appropriate care.
We recommend that you observe the following points:
Secure the device against knocks or falling during transport.
Particular care must be taken when handling pointed or sharp objects due to the housing material.
Do not use any aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents to clean the device.
Important: We strongly recommend wearing safety goggles when removing the transport straps to
protect against eye injuries
Checks on delivery
We recommend a visual inspection of the packaging for external damage as soon as the neutralisation
unit is delivered. The device should be unpacked and visually inspected as soon as possible after
delivery. In addition to checking for external defects, the scope of supply must also be checked. If a
defect is discovered, a written complaint must be submitted to us within 5 working days of delivery, stating
the order number and the reason for the complaint.
Environmental protection and packaging
The packaging required for the safe transport of our environmental equipment has already been reduced
to a minimum. We recommend recycling the materials used as follows:
Packaging cardboard is fed into the recycling cycle as a valuable raw material.
The packaging film is made of polyethylene (PE) and can likewise be recycled.
For stability reasons, the tensioning straps are made of fibreglass-reinforced plastic and are therefore
residual waste.
For the disposal of wooden pallets, please contact the municipal waste disposal companies.
11. INSTALLATION
The Kyocera C100 neutralisation unit can be installed in laboratory furniture or operated free-standing.
In general, however, the following points should be taken into account during planning:
•The unit requires a minimum substructure height of 64 cm, as otherwise it is not possible to
remove or pull out the chemical containers for filling.
•In order for the Kyocera neutralisation unit to function properly, the local conditions must ensure
that the device is installed horizontally. Installation on the floor is best, as the unit can be
precisely aligned using the 3 levelling screws, thus ensuring safe operation.
•When installing on a frame, make sure that the support area is not too small so that the contact
pressure does not lead to deformation of the plastic housing due to the high weight when filled.

Instruction manual | Status - November 2023 Page 18
•The nature of the installation site should take into account that carelessness when handling the
chemicals or leaks at the connections can lead to contamination in the installation area. Ideally, it
should be installed in a tiled tray that is equipped with a floor drain to remove impurities.
•The drain into which the neutralised wastewater is to be pumped shall not be higher than one
metre from the lower edge of the unit.
•The unit requires a connection for the emergency overflow, which may be positioned a maximum
of 20 cm above the lower edge of the neutralisation unit in order to ensure a sufficient gradient to
the sewer.
•The installation site must be easily accessible for the service technician and must provide
sufficient space for carrying out routine and service work.
•The venting of the reaction tank must be connected to a continuous extraction system so that no
aggressive vapours and gases can escape from the system.
•The room temperature at the installation site must not fall below +5°C in order to ensure reliable
operation of the control system and to prevent the unit from freezing.
•A wastewater connection (min. DN 50) must be available directly at the installation location of the
unit; if the unit is designed with a storage tank, an overflow connection (min. DN 100) must also
be available.
Plumbing connections
The inlet connection and the overflow connection of the neutralisation unit are designed ex works
with a threaded socket R 1½".”This enables a universal connection with all common materials used in
installation technology.
Important: The overflow connection must be routed into the wastewater pipe via the shortest
route and must not be prevented from functioning properly as an emergency overflow by a
reducer, a waste trap, or a stop device
Inlet, overflow, venting of reaction tank;
Mix-pump unit, chemical tank
Figure 2.3: Plumbing connections
Figure 2.4: Pump-out connection
To vent the unit, a connection with an internal thread size R3/4" ”is provided, located under the unit's’acid
tank. The connection should be connected to an existing ventilation pipe or routed to the outside with a
pipe or hose connection via a continuous extraction system.
Note: To ensure that the unit functions properly, we strongly recommend that the ventilation
system is connected correctly . In special cases, considerable material damage may
otherwise occur due to acid vapours or a malfunction of the overflow.

The pump-out connection of the neutralisation unit is located directly behind the motor of the mix-pump
unit. A DN15 hose nozzle was provided for the connection so that a simple connection to the existing
wastewater pipe is possible.
The following points must be observed when installing the lines.
•The pump connection must be routed into the wastewater pipe without a stop device.
Components such as syphons are not necessary due to the design of the unit and lead to a
reduction in the flow rate or, in extreme cases, to faults in the operation of the unit.
•The maximum pump-out height is 1 m from the lower edge of the neutralisation unit. The
maximum flow rate is 10 l/min. For higher pumping capacities, please contact our application
technology department.
•In the case of wastewater pipes that are laid below the unit level, the flow of the wastewater must
be interrupted (e.g.: by a higher funnel), as otherwise the suction effect could cause
unneutralised wastewater to enter the sewer system.
•Due to the corrosive properties of the medium to be neutralised, no metallic materials may be
used for parts in contact with the medium.
•Please note that devices such as fume scrubbers, which discharge their wastewater into the
neutralisation unit, have smaller drain cross-sections. In this case, a transition to the larger inlet
cross-section of the neutralisation unit must be made.
Electrical connection
The mains connection of the Kyocera neutralisation unit is equipped with a plug-in connection to ensure
reliable disconnection from the mains and easy replacement of the complete control system for servicing.
The neutral conductor must always be connected, as otherwise malfunctions or the destruction of
individual components may occur.
Ensure that the supply line fuses are clearly labelled and clearly laid out.
Arrangement of the connections on the rear of the control system and their function:
X3: Connection to the motor mix-pump unit
X8: Bottom float switch (minimum fill level)
X9: Top float switch (maximum fill level)
X10: Plug-in connection for connection line, for interlocking with Kyocera fume scrubber and
neutralisation unit
X11: Plug-in connection for connecting motor ball valve or storage tank
X12: Plug-in connection for potential-free fault signalling
Please refer to the enclosed wiring diagrams for the wire allocation on the individual connectors
Important: The electrical connection of the neutralisation unit should be carried out by a qualified
electrician. Damage caused by improper connection is excluded from the warranty!
The applicable standards must always be observed and applied!
Depending on the version and application of the neutralisation unit, the required connection cables are
not included in the scope of supply, as different cable versions and cable lengths are required depending
on the local conditions. These cables should have a minimum cross-section of 1 mm² and a chemical-
resistant sheath (e.g.: PVC). The protective earth conductor (PE) must be included and connected in
every cable.

12. INITIAL COMMISSIONING
The initial commissioning of the device should be carried out by a trained and experienced technician
from a Kyocera service partner, as parts of the unit may be damaged or destroyed if faults occur in the
plumbing or electrical installation. In the event of unauthorised commissioning, Kyocera shall only be
liable for faults that are demonstrably attributable to material or assembly errors at the factory.
Initial commissioning can only take place after the Kyocera neutralisation unit and the associated
components have been fully assembled. The installation site must be freely accessible and any materials
required, such as ladders, tools, etc., should be available. Please also note the information on the order
confirmation. The Kyocera service partner will check all the necessary requirements before
commissioning.
Commissioning includes the following activities:
•Checking the installation and functional testing of the unit with the additional components
supplied
•Instruction of the operating personnel
•Test run in the presence of the operator and operating personnel
•Answering questions
Note: The Kyocera service partner will only commission the Kyocera neutralisation unit and the
parts supplied by Kyocera. However, it is advisable to set up the components associated with the
neutralisation unit on the same day so that the interaction of the individual parts can also be
tested. In any case, the Kyocera service partner will endeavour to take desired dates into account
as far as possible.
Please contact the supplier of the unit or Kyocera directly to request the Kyocera service partner.
It is also possible to contact the responsible Kyocera service partners directly. More information
