The CL17 Chlorine Analyzer is factory calibrated. A built-in electronic curve is
preprogrammed into the instrument. This instrument does not require
recalibration unless specified by your regulatory agency for compliance
reporting purposes.
If you are required to do a two-point calibration or if your sample stream
chlorine concentration is typically less than 0.5 mg/L, follow the instructions in
section 2.7.5.1. If your sample stream chlorine concentration is typically
greater than 0.5 mg/L, you can perform a Calibration by Comparison as
detailed in section 2.7.5.2.
If the calibration you perform requires you to adjust the CAL ZERO by more
than 0.2 mg/L, a SYSTEM WARNING caused by a MARGINAL ZERO error
will appear. Similarly, adjusting the CAL STD by more than 10% (up or down)
will produce a MARGINAL GAIN ERROR.
If either of these errors occur, reset the instrument to the default calibration
(see section 2.7), check the standards, and repeat the calibration. If the error
messages persist, contact the Customer Service department.
