Principles of Operation
The heart of the CFA3047 Phosphate analyzer is the valve pump.
The valve pump has separate pumping elements for sample,
reagents, and standards. Each pump element consists of a chem-
ically inert flexible membrane in a cavity. Cavity volumes are 5 mL
for sample and standards and 0.2 mL for reagents. A vacuum/
pressure pump pushes and pulls on the membrane. Vacuum
causes the chamber to fill. Pressure pushes the liquid out of the
cavity into the reaction chamber. Check valves prevent backflow.
A stream of air pumped into the reaction chamber mixes the
sample and reagents. After the reaction time has passed, the
treated sample is pumped to the measurement cell. Light at 660 nm
(470 nm for 0-50 ppm) from an LED passes through the sample
and a photodiode measures the light intensity. The analyzer
automatically calculates the absorbance and translates the
results into a phosphate concentration reading. Once the meas-
urement is complete, repeated flushes with fresh sample remove
the treated sample from the measurement and reaction cells.

Ordering Information
Model CFA3047 is a batch analyzer suitable for the determination of orthophosphate in the range 0-3 ppm, 0-5 ppm, 0-10 ppm,
0-20 ppm, 0-25 ppm, and 0-50 ppm (as PO4). 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.
