    The indicator lamp will flash Red to indicate the by-pass mode. Assuming the area around the CLX-Ex has been tested and known to be safe, the enclosure door can now be safely opened and power will remain on to the entire system. The key cannot be removed while operating in the maintenance by-pass mode.

    Liter (mg/L), these units are equivalent to Parts Per Million (PPM). Readings above 10.00 mg/L are outside the range of this instrument. Although the CLX-Ex may display above 10.0 mg/L, these readings will not be within the stated accuracy. As the reagents degrade due to aging, readings above 10.0 mg/L may decrease in value.

  • Page 37: Indicator Reagent Preparation

    After a PRIME the CLX-Ex will perform a water calibration (WCAL). It will take a few minutes to complete this procedure. *The 1 year buffer and 90 day indicator reagent life is primarily used on ballast water applications. The assumption is based on the factory default of a 2 ½ minute cycle and up to 60 hours total operation per month.
