Principles of Operation
The CFA3011 Sodium Analyzer uses a sodium sensitive measur-
ing electrode and pH reference electrode. An organic base
added to the sample raises the pH and eliminates interference
from hydrogen and ammonium ions. The base also buffers the
sample, ensuring a constant reference electrode potential.
The valve pump (shown at right) is the heart of the analyzer flu-
idics system. The pump has separate elements for sample,
reagent, and standards. Each pump element consists of an inert
flexible membrane in a cavity. A vacuum/pressure pump pushes
and pulls on the membrane. Vacuum fills the cavity; pressure
pushes liquid out of the cavity into the mixing chamber. Check
valves prevent backflow. Air pumped into the mixing chamber
mixes sample and reagent. After mixing, the sample is circulat-
ed between the measuring chamber, which contains the sens-
ing and reference electrodes, and the mixing chamber until
readings are stable. To reduce temperature-related errors, the
measuring chamber is held at constant temperature. Once the
measurement is complete, the sample is flushed out and the
cycle resumes.
Specifications The output holds last value when the analyzer changes to
the next sample stream.

Ordering Information
Model CFA3011 is a batch analyzer suitable for the determination of sodium in any two decade range between 0.01 ppb and 1000
ppm. Range must be specified at time of ordering. A single, non-isolated output is standard. Isolated outputs and multiple outputs
(one output for each sample stream) are available as options and must be specified at time of ordering. 115 Vac, 60 Hz is standard;
230 Vac, 50 Hz must be specified at time of ordering. The analyzer is shipped with a three-month supply of reagents and standards.

NOTE: A biannual reagent and valve pump service contract is available and is recommended. To order the reagent and pump service
contract, provide a blanket purchase order for eight reagent and standard kits (two-year supply). The kits will be sent in regular
intervals over the 24-month period. Once during the 24-month period you will be entitled to a valve pump refurbishment.
Contact Rosemount Analytical for details concerning the valve pump refurbishment.
