2.4.8 Special functions
Langelier Saturation Index (Water Balance)
For calculation the following tests are required:
• pH-value
• Temperature
• Calcium hardness
• Total Alkalinity
• TDS (Total Dissolved Solids)
Run the test separately and note the results.
Calculate the Langelier Saturation Index as described:
Calculation of Langelier Saturation Index
With Mode 71 (see below) it is possible to select between
degree Celsius or degree Fahrenheit.
Press [MODE] [7] [0] keys.
Confirm with [ ] key.
The display shows:
Enter the temperature value (T) in the range
between 3 and 53°C and confirm with [ ] key.
If °F was selected, enter the temperature value in the range
between 37 und 128°F.
The display shows:
Enter the value for Calcium hardness (CH) in the range
between 50 and 1000 mg/l CaCO
3
and confirm with
[ ]
key.
The display shows:
Enter the value for Total Alkalinity (TA) in the range between
5 and 800 mg/l CaCO
3
and confirm with [ ] key.
The display shows:
Enter the value for TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) in the range
between 0 und 6000 mg/l and confirm with
[ ]
key.
