Optrode

Problem

Cause

Remedy

No signal. The mea-
sured value is con-
stant at approxi-
mately 0 mV.

The solution is too dark.

Use less indicator.

Dilute the solution.

The Optrode is dirty.

Clean the sensor, particularly the smooth sur-
faces in the measuring gap 

(see Chapter 4.2,

page 12)

.

Signal is too high.
Constant measured
value at approxi-
mately 900 mV.

The solution is too bright.

Use more indicator.

Too much ambient light
present (e.g. direct sun-
light).

Protect the measuring equipment from light.

Optrode is not rec-
ognized automati-
cally in tiamo (ver-
sion 2.5 and higher).

The Optrode firmware is
outdated.

Have the firmware updated by a service engi-
neer.
