9.11 Commissioning of the measuring cell
Before starting, the chemicals must be sucked up to the
measuring cell in order to shorten the running-in period.
1. Place the tanks with reagent A (buffer) and reagent B (starting
reagent) at the labelled places under the peristaltic pumps,
and insert the suction lines.
2. Open the cover of the tube at the pump.
3. Connect a syringe to the suction tube of tap A (pos. c).
4. Turn the three-way tap (pos. c) in order to open the line to the
syringe.
5. Carefully suck the reagent until the syringe is filled.

6. Turn the three-way tap in order to open the line from the
syringe to the measuring cell.
7. Carefully press the reagent into the line until it reaches the
measuring cell.

8. Remount the cover of the pump.
9. Turn the three-way-tap in order to open the line from the pump
to the measuring cell.

10. Repeat these steps for reagent B.
10. Calibration
Due to the electro-chemical behaviour of the measuring cell, no
zero-point adjustment is necessary. Only the rate of rise
(sensitivity) must be adjusted during calibration.
• Check the calibration after 24 hours, and repeat, if necessary!
10.1 Photometrical measurement
1. Take a water sample at the sample water tap (pos.a).
2. Determine the concentration of the measuring parameter
photometrically, for instance using the Grundfos DIT
photometer.
10.2 Calibration
1. Select the calibration function using the [CAL] button.
The LED lights up.
2. Press [OK] to select the "Calibration" menu.
3. Select "Chlorine", and confirm using [OK].
4. Enter the reference value (for instance the value measured
photometrically using the DIT).
– The measured signal is read in automatically and compared
with the reference value.
– The calibration result is displayed: sensor slope.
Reading calibration data in the "Service" diagnostics menu
• Select "Service" in the main menu using the [Up] or [Down]
button, and press [OK].
– The data of the last 10 calibrations can be read.
Note
Ensure that the pumps are switched off for these
steps. For that purpose, take out the sample water
deficiency sensor (loosen the screw, and pull out the
sample water deficiency sensor).
Caution
Reagents A and B must not come in contact with
each other. Never connect reagent A to pump B and
vice versa. Otherwise, the tubes must be cleaned.

Caution
At first start-up or after long-term stop, let the system
run for at least two hours to avoid faulty
measurements and calibration!
Caution
During calibration, keep the sample water flow rate
and water temperature constant.
Caution
Observe the installation and operating instructions of
the photometer!
