Calibrating the measuring channels Calibrating the measuring channels Ä Chapter 3.1 ‘User qualifica‐ User qualification: trained user tion’ on page 10 The automatic calibration of pH or ORP does not use a standard buffer. Measure the pH with reference units or chemical reagents prior to calibration.
Calibrating the measuring channels Rinse the sensor with clean water and without excessive pressure. Remove all dirt. Make sure that the sensitive tip of the sensor is not damaged. pH 7 calibration To calibrate the pH value, it is essential that you start with the liquid standard pH value of 7.00.
Page 56
Calibrating the measuring channels Calibrate the units, as described in the operating instructions for the measuring / control unit and/or the respective sensor. Close the shut-off valve on the inlet side when calibrating with standard solutions, e.g. with pH/ORP/fluoride sensors. A3206 Fig.
Page 57
Calibrating the measuring channels Open the shut-off valve on the inlet side and correctly adjust the flow rate on the ball valve at the outlet side. Suspend the calibration beaker (4) on the collector (3) pro‐ vided for this purpose. You can take a sample at the sample valve (5) to calibrate meas‐...
Operational pause (e.g. over-wintering) Operational pause (e.g. over-wintering) Never allow the sensors to remain dry in their fitting during opera‐ tional pauses. Sensors need to be stored in a dry place and pro‐ tected from moisture in their original packaging. You can obtain preservative for the sensors from your dealer.
