Most electrodes, however, do not The patented calibration procedure used in the exhibit a theoretical slope. Therefore, the Model 1811EL is a variation on Double Known instrument is calibrated to determine its actual Addition (DKA). This method has distinct value.
The term “off-line calibration” refers only to the fact that a sample from 1811EL bypass is taken “off-line” for laboratory analysis; in fact, no downtime is experienced during the procedure and the instrument remains on-line throughout.
Model 1811EL Low-Level Sodium Monitor Description of Model 1811EL Monitor Numbers in the description refer to Figure 3. Diverter valve (12) — Allows sample reservoir to fill to about 100 mL during calibration procedure. Sample inlet valve (1) — Accepts the sample While sampling, reservoir is at about 20 mL.

Error Mode electrode slope was out of specification at that time. The Model 1811EL Monitor diagnoses two types of errors which are termed “hard” and “soft.” In the Calibration overdue. It has been at least event of hard error, the analyzer cannot compute 6 weeks since the last calibration.
Model 1811EL Low-Level Sodium Monitor Start-up The most common error codes are combinations Replace the diffusion tubing if sample flow has of the above codes, but other errors may be been off for more than a few days. Tubing displayed: becomes brittle with long term exposure to reagent.
