0.1 pH points. IMPORTANT If the OnTime is too short, it is possible that the Bluelab pH Controller won’t be able to dose enough to keep up with the changing pH levels, even if it doses every dosing cycle. - Page 5 “ur” or “or” in the affected measurement type. Dosing will immediately stop. Alarms When alarms are turned on, and the Bluelab pH Controller senses that either pH is beyond the set high or low alarm values, pH dosing will stop. IMPORTANT Alarms are not just warnings that values have shifted away from the required value - they stop dosing.
- Page 6 This is called the ineffective control lockout, and is enabled by default, but can be disabled via Edenic. The Bluelab pH Controller will indicate it is in ineffective control lockout by flashing the display and displaying ‘HELP Ineffective Control’.

2.5.3 Alarms (optional) The alarm function alerts you when the solution deviates too far from the desired pH. When an alarm condition is present, the pH value and the alarm symbol will flash on the screen. This is an ‘alarm lockout’ state. All dosing will stop. If the measurement changes back to within the limits you have chosen, the ... -
