7. Adjustment 

 

Do not carry out adjustment until all the system components are installed.  
Switch on the mains voltage, the green warning light "U 

B

" lights up.  

Measuring instruments required for calibration: 

 

Multimeter (preferably digital multimeter) 

 

Conductivity measuring device (preferably with temperature compensation) 

 
 

7.1 Zero calibration 

 

Requirement:  The  measuring  tip  of  the  conductivity  electrode  is  not  in  contact  with  the  water. 
Depending on the installation of the electrode, lower the water level in the boiler or empty the 
measuring line. 
Connect the multimeter  to the Ø3.6 mm jack socket (8)  or  to  the  terminals (6 and 7) and set a 
current of 4 mA with the potentiometer "N". 
 

 

Turning the potentiometer clockwise gives larger values. 

 

If the value “4 mA” cannot be set – check the electrical lead for compliance with 
the specifications in the wiring diagram. 

 
 

7.2 Sampling 

 

Requirement: 

 

Boiler in operating mode 

 

Measuring tip of the dedicated measuring electrode is surrounded by boiler water 

Remove  boiler  water  via  the  sampling  cooler  and  determine  the  conductivity  "K

actual

"  in  μS/cm 

relative to 25°C using a conductivity meter.
