• Correct measuring and dosing is only possible in the case of impeccable operation of the sensor. The sensor has to be calibrated / checked regularly! NOTE A form “Documentation of controller settings type D1C” is available under www.prominent.com/documentation_D1C for the purpose of documenting the controller settings.

Restricted Operating Menu / Description Calibrating the pH sensor (only possible with correcting variable pH) The pH sensor is calibrated with the aid of two-point calibration (zero point/slope). Buffer self-detection at pH 7 (zero point calibration) and at pH 4 (calibration of slope). The measured pH value of the buffer is proposed as the buffer value and can be changed manually (arrow keys).

Complete Operating Menu / Description Servomotor The operating range is defined by the total resistance range of the feedback potentiometer. The maximum limit of the range actually used is set by defining the control range. IMPORTANT • To ensure correct function, the set duration of the stroke position motor should be more than 25 sec for 0…100 % of setting range.

Complete Operating Menu / Description Pause Normal ® If the pause-switch is off, the DULCOMETER D1C sets the operating outputs to “0” for as long as the pause-switch is off or for a set time-delay t (if t is set to > 0 min). Whilst the pause-switch is off, the D1C establishes the P-proportion in the background.
