1. Introduction
1.1. Safety precautions
1.1.1. Safety symbols
Warning
Denotes that incorrect handling may pose a specific potential hazard,
resulting in serious injury or death to the operator.
Caution
Denotes that incorrect handling may pose a specific potential hazard,
resulting in minor or moderate injury to the operator and/or damage to
property.
1.1.2. Installation precautions
Warning
Ensure the ground wire is connected so as to prevent electric shocks.
1.1.3. Servicing precautions
Warning
Before servicing, disconnect the power supply or electric shock may occur.
Caution
Before servicing the heater section turn off the power switch and wait until the
heater has cooled down to approximately room temperature. Failure to observe
this could result in being burnt.
Be careful when working with the equipment and touching any parts made of
glass. Failure to observe this may result in damage occurring.
Only qualified persons should change the calibration curves. Using the wrong
calibration curve will result in incorrect results being obtained.

1.2. Equipment overview
The model S-PE, the reducing vaporization unit, is an optional device for measuring
mercury in the water with the PE-1.
In order to fully utilize the capabilities of the equipment ensure you thoroughly read this
instruction manual prior to use.

2. Principles
2.1. Operation
This equipment is completely controlled from the PE-1. Selecting “RA”as the method.
In the reducing vaporization method (RAmode), bivalent mercury (Hg2+) in a solution is
reduced to elemental mercury (Hg0) with a reducing solution (SnCl2). The mercury vapor
that is generated passes through a washing bottle (where an alkaline solution
neutralizes acidic gases) and a dehumidifying bottle in series, then is collected in the
mercury collector tube as gold-amalgamation and then the mercury collector tube is
heated to release mercury.
The released mercury is detected using atomic fluorescence spectroscopy at a
wavelength of 253.7nm.

3. Installing the equipment
3.1. Installation conditions
3.1.1. Installation environment
Room temperature :15°C to 35°C
Vibration :Avoid any vibrations that the human body can
strongly sense.
Dust and dirt :Maintain a clean atmosphere without any smoke,
dust, or other factors that can adversely affect
measurements. Please also refrain from smoking
anywhere near.
Installation space :A minimum area of 1,200 mm wide x 700 mm
deep is necessary. Ensure a firm foundation
(without any wobble) capable of bearing
approximately 60 kg.
Others :Avoid direct exposure to sunlight and air from air
conditioners, fans, etc.
Special notes :Never place the equipment anywhere volatile
halogen-based reagents such as organochlorine
solvents are used. In addition, avoid anywhere
such gases may be present.
3.2. Installation/connection
(1) Place Model S+RH-PE to the left of the PE-1.
(2) Connect the supplied signal cable between the PE-1 and RH-PE.
(3) Connect the power cable to the RH-PE.
(4) Connect the supplied tubes as described below.

4.2. Reagents
(1) Washing solution: 0.1N NaOH
(2) Alkali-digestion (Simple digestion)
-5N NaOH
Ex. 20g of NaOH are diluted with 100mL of Distilled water.
-1000ppm of Cu2+
Ex. 394mg of CuSO4・5H2O are diluted with 100mL of Distilled water.
-10% SnCL2
Ex. Add 60mL of H2SO4(1+20) to 10mg of SnCL2and while stirring, heat it to
dissolve. After cooling dilute with Distilled water to 100mL.
4.3. Preparation for measurement
4.3.1. Startup
(1) Turn on the POWER switches of the PE-1,
the PC, and the RH-PE.
(2) Open both the roller clamps for the gas
washing bottle and the dehumidifying bottle,
and pour 0.1N NaOH solution.
Ensure the gas washing solution level is
approximately 20 mm above the air outlet.
(3) Close both the roller clamps for the gas
washing bottle and the dehumidifying bottle.
4.3.2. Starting the software in Windows
Click the icon on the desktop to start the PC software (PE1000Win).

4.4. Measurement
4.4.1. Setting measurement mode
Select [Run]-[Mode] from the menu, or click the
icon to set the measurement mode.
Measurement mode
Set the heating speed of the mercury collection section for measurement in accordance
with the weight of the mercury.
A guideline for that is as follows:
LOW: 0 to 10 ng (Low concentration)
The heater H5 of the mercury collection section heats up at full power, and the
mercury gas is quickly discharged into the fluorescence cell.
HIGH: 0 to 100 ng
The heater H5 of the mercury collection section slowly heats up, and the mercury gas
is gradually discharged into the fluorescence cell.
