TCML N(-S) Overview required. Routine calibration is done by comparison with the photometric DPD method according to DIN 38408. The TCML N sensor is connected with the monitor (e.g. MULTILINE 1000) via a Electrical connection two line connection. The wires are used for the power supply of the monitor and TCML N for the transmission of measurement signals (4 - 20 mA current signal).
TCML N(-S) Safety instructions Safety instructions Safety information 2.1.1 Safety information in the operating manual This operating manual provides important information on the safe operation of the product. Read this operating manual thoroughly and make yourself familiar with the product before putting it into operation or working with it. The operating manual must be kept in the vicinity of the sensor so you can always find the infor- mation you need.
TCML N(-S) Safety instructions Safe operation 2.2.1 Authorized use The authorized use of the TCML N(-S) is the stationary measurement of chlorine in drinking water, swimming pool water and process water.. Only the operation and running of the sensor according to the instructions and technical specifica- tions given in this operating manual is authorized (see chapter 6 T ECHNICAL ).
TCML N(-S) Commissioning Commissioning Scope of delivery Sensor TCML N(-S) with membrane cap M48 Dropping bottle with 100 ml electrolyte solution ELY-TCML N Polishing strip Operating manual Filling the membrane cap with electrolyte solution NOTE Risk of damage for the sensor in the case of improper handling. Do not touch the electrode finger with your fingers.

TCML N(-S) Commissioning Cut off the tip of the dropping bottle until the opening in the tip is visible, then fill the membrane cap completely with electrolyte solution, bubble free. Remove any air bubbles by knocking. Hold the sensor shaft in an upright position and place it on the filled membrane cap.
TCML N(-S) Commissioning CAUTION Overpressure in the membrane cap can destroy the membrane disk. Therefore, make sure the valve opening is not inadvertently closed by your fingers. Excess electrolyte solution must be able to escape freely at any time. Screw slowly so that no back pressure can develop. Using a blunt object, slide the hose ring over the valve opening and insert it evenly in the groove.

TCML N(-S) Measuring / Operation Measuring / Operation Run-in period Polarization Each time the sensor is refilled it must be polarized. To do this, immerse the connected and voltage-supplied sensor in a well-stirred chlorine solution with at least 5 mg/l chlorine for an hour. Then put the sensor into use (measuring position).
TCML N(-S) Maintenance, cleaning, storage Maintenance, cleaning, storage Cleaning the measurement electrode / exchanging the membrane cap and electrolyte We recommend to disconnect the sensor from the monitor before starting any maintenance work. If calibration is not possible due to readings too low, the measurement electrode has to be cleaned with the enclosed polishing strip.
TCML N(-S) Maintenance, cleaning, storage Rinse the electrode finger and membrane cap with clean water and dab them dry with a clean paper towel. Clean the measurement electrode with the polishing strip. To do so, place the polishing strip on a paper towel and hold it at a corner.
TCML N(-S) Maintenance, cleaning, storage Storage NOTE The sensor may only be stored in an unfilled condition. Proceed as follows to store the sensor: Unscrew the membrane cap from the sensor shaft and pour away the electrolyte solution (see section 5.1). Put the membrane cap into 10 % acetic acid for some hours.
