The plausibility of the slope measurement is supervised. For the announcement of bound chlorine at the TOPAX DX it is necessary that the total chlorine and the free chlo- rine, the pH value and the temperature of the measuring water with the same TOPAX DX are measured.
Therefore the regulation is set on the automatic controller power output, as it was prior the filter flushing. The regulation of the measured value begins only after the deceleration time is over. BA-40100-0-V04 | Maintenance Instructions TOPAX DX | 3...
