To ensure equipment protection and the proper functioning of the device, the above conditions are strictly to be adhered to! ∗ The connected modules receive their power from the BlueBox. Some modules have a constricted input range, so there is a input voltage tolerance of ± 10%. Page 6 / 77...

Compare the BlueBox data for voltage and frequency with the available supply before connecting the power. Please notice that the power supply unit is placed close to the BlueBox because the voltage is declining with the length of the connecting cable.
Thus, a retrieval of data and direct communication with the BlueBox is possible. This requires the installation of the BlueBox PC software on your local computer (see Manual BlueBox PC Software). The connection to a network is made by a RJ-45-connector at the bottom of the BlueBox (see also 3.2 Con- nection options).
If you need to change the jumper positions, open the housing and place the jumpers correspondingly. If the BlueBox is configured to RS-485 by GO Systemelektronik, its termination is factory preset to ON. see Appendix F - Opening a BlueBox housing...

For the two-point calibration you need two calibration fluids with different pH values, eg pH 4 and pH 9.2. In this two-point calibration it is always the lower value first and then the higher value is measured. The Bluebox independently calculates the calibration curve. The calibration fluids are available as accessories under the item no. 3615910 at GO-Systemelektronik.
