This would be shown as a lower than expected result. the user’s application. The possible causes are, 1. the process itself has a lower concentration and the SemiChem APMi 200 mV/pH reports the correct result, 2. possible air bubble in the Titration sample causing a lower than expected value, 3.

The possible causes are, 1. the process itself has a disconnected sensor, 3. incorrect sensor, 4. electrode higher concentration and the SemiChem APMi 200 not immersed in the sample, 5. low electrolyte in reports the correct result, 2. possible air bubbles in the the sensor.
Example 6 shows a sensor response above the programmed end point. The user would not see this because the SemiChem APMi 200 will abort the analysis and report an error code 1 or 2. A possible cause is the cell did not drain and flush properly.
These troubleshooting steps have been designed with fully trained, qualified, and experienced personnel in mind. Working with the SemiChem APMi 200 at the level these procedures require may lead to exposure to chemical, electrical, or mechanical hazards.
