Entering Field Calibration Parameters; Direct Bias Adjustment; Figure 40 Using Field Sample Soft Key - Vaisala PR-23 Series User Manual

PR-23 Series User Guide
• Read the values CALC, T, nD and CONC in the DTR's display at exactly the same time
with sampling.
The easiest way of doing this is to use the FIELD SAMPLE soft key available through the
Sensor status display (DTR program version 2.0 or newer). The value of each sample is
the average of 10 consequent measurements to increase accuracy and reduce possible
process noise.

• Use a tight container for the sample to avoid evaporation.
Offline calibration using process liquid very seldom gives reliable results, as problems are
caused by:
• Low flow which makes sample to form an unrepresentative film on the prism
• Sample evaporation at high temperature or undissolved solids at low temperature
giving deviations from laboratory determinations
• An ageing sample which is not representative
• Outside light reaching the prism
Calibration using the process liquid must always be made in‑line.
7.4.4 Entering field calibration parameters
Enter the field calibration parameters supplied by Vaisala by selecting 5 CALIBRATION from
the Main menu, followed by 1 CHEMICAL & FIELD PARAMETERS and then 2 FIELD
CALIBRATION PARAMETERS.
CAUTION!

7.4.5 Direct BIAS adjustment
The concentration measurement value can also be directly adjusted by changing the field
adjustment parameter f00.
