Calibration (basic measurement comparison)
Using the measured value, you can see whether measurement is
sufficiently stable for reliable calibration.
12.3.1.2
Calibration results
At the end of calibration, the calibration parameters generated are
displayed:
Offset Chlorine
Offset is the zero point displacement calculated from calibration. It is
indicated in [mg/l].
Current Value Chlorine
The chlorine/bromine measured value is then calculated using the
parameters from the current calibration. The measured value
displayed should therefore coincide with the calibration value entered.

12.3.2
Calibration errors
During calibration, various plausibility criteria are checked. If one of the
criteria is not met, then a corresponding error message appears and
calibration is not executed.
The following criteria have to be met for successful calibration:
•
Calibration must be performed for a calibrat
(DPD values) of at least 0.20 mg/l.
•
The offset calculated (zero point displacement) has to be in the
range of ±1.00 mg/l. The offset is generally close to 0 for flawless
electrodes.
•
The slope calculated has to be in the range of 1µA/mg/l
250 µA/mg/l. For flawless electrodes, slope is generally in the
range of 5µA/mg/l and 20µA/mg/l.

Calibration redox (mV)
The calibration for redox measurement is performed as 1
calibration. A buffer solution with a known redox value (e.g. 465 mV) is
used.

electrode, it can occur that the redox electrode reacts
very slowly if it is moved from the buffer solution back
