Operating the bbe AlgaeTorch
bbe AlgaeTorch Manual Page 33
The results of different calibration test attachments might vary from one attachment to the other. So the test has
to be performed with the same attachment all the time.
Procedure

Mount the calibration test attachment and the temperature sensor. Take care for the right position of
the attachment.

Start a continuous measurement at the AlgaeTorch

Switch on the temperature sensor

Let the instrument run for 10 minutes

Proceed with “set dye” for storing the fluorescence values

Proceed with “check dye” for evaluating the performance of the instrument
Set dye
The set dye procedure is used to store the fluorescence pattern of a dedicated test attachment in the
AlgaeTorch. This is the reference for the check dye procedure.

go to Calibration -> dye -> set dye
enter dye temp.:
20.0°C
OK + - ESC

Enter the temperature of the thermometer and confirm with OK

The AlgaeTorch performs a fluorescence measurement. The results are shown afterwards

Confirm to use the shown values as a new reference. Use ESC to retain the stored values.
Check dye

Go to Calibration -> dye -> check dye
enter dye temp.:
20.0°C
OK + - ESC

Enter the temperature of the thermometer and confirm with OK

The AlgaeTorch performs a fluorescence measurement and displays the result of the check.
CALIBRATION-DYE
Check Dye: OK
OK
CALIBRATION-DYE
Check Dye: Fail
OK
In case of a failed test, please check, if the calibration test attachment is mounted properly and the temperature
is measured correctly. Contact the bbe service, if the error remains.
