Operating principle
The SYCON P based on the SYCON series is an online analyser for the automatic determination of
water parameters according to the colorimetric titration method. By adding an reagent to the water
sample, a colour reaction is generated. Depending on the reagent used, the device evaluates the
intensity of the colour. Through the colour change of the sample during the addition of the reagent,
the SYCON P calculates the concentration of the water ingredient. The device can only determine
one parameter at a time. Parameter and measuring range are determined by the reagent used.

Note on oxidising agents:
Oxidising agents such as calcium hypochlorite, chlorine, chlorine dioxide, sodium hypochlorite or
ozone above the limits permitted in "TrinkwV 2012" attack the dye contained in the reagent and
interfere with the measurement. This means that an exact determination of the measured value is
no longer guaranteed. An activated carbon filter connected upstream of the analyser can remove
these oxidants from the sample water and thus enable the correct determination of the measured
value.
The capacity of an activated carbon filter is consumed during operation. Therefore, the activated
carbon filter must be replaced at regular intervals. The effectiveness of the activated carbon filter
can be checked with the help of Caldur® test sets.
