Fault
Possible cause
Action
Sensor cannot be calibrated.
Measured value higher than
DPD measurement
Polarisation time not finished
Wait until polarisation time is finished
Membrane cap is damaged
Replace membrane cap; wait until
polarisation time is finished, calibrate
Interfering substances in medium
Examine medium for interfering substances
and remedy
Short circuit in signal cable
Locate and eliminate short circuit
Distance between electrode and
membrane is too large
Screw the membrane until the limit
DPD chemicals are outdated
Use new DPD chemicals, repeat calibration
pH value < pH 5.5
Raise pH value (pH 5.5 ... 9.5)
Sensor cannot be calibrated.
Measured value lower than DPD
measurement
Polarisation time not finished
Wait until polarisation time is finished
Deposits on membrane cap
Replace membrane cap; wait until
polarisation time is finished, calibrate
Flow rate too low
Correct flow rate
Air bubbles on the outside of the
membrane
Increase the flow rate within the permitted
range
Interfering substances in medium
(surfactants, oil, alcohols, corrosion
inhibitors)
Contact sales center
Value substantially exceeds measuring
range
Replace membrane cap; wait until
polarisation time is finished, calibrate
Deposits (carbonate, manganese, iron
oxide) have blocked membrane
Replace membrane cap; wait until
polarisation time is finished, calibrate
pH value > pH 9.5
Lower pH value (pH 5.5 ... 9.5)
No electrolyte in membrane cap
Refill membrane cap with electrolyte
Measured value of sensor is
0 mg/l
Polarisation time not finished
Wait until polarisation time is finished
Interfering substances which consume
chlorine
Examine medium for interfering substances
and remedy
Zero point has shifted
Perform zero point calibration
Reference electrode defective
Return sensor to sales center for
regeneration
