2.2 General Safety Information

WARNING!
Failure of the control and impact on the process
Cause: If the controller or other parts of the measuring
plate fail, then the process, in the bypass of which the
measuring plate is working, will no longer be measured
and regulated.
Possible consequence: Fatal or very serious injuries.
The process, in the bypass of which the measuring
plate is working, will become out of control and could
cause harmful reactions.
Measure: It is the responsibility of the operator and/or
manufacturer of the entire system in which the meas‐
uring plate is installed to take appropriate measures to
ensure that the failure of the measuring plate or of indi‐
vidual components of the measuring plate do not have
a damaging effect on the entire process and/or the
overall system.
These measures can include, for example:
– Redundant design of the measuring and control
station.
– Connection of an appropriate alarm device to the
measuring plate and/or the controller.
– The alarm relay on the controller could be set to
[fail save] and be evaluated as an overall alarm for
the process.
– Installation of additional safety systems from active
or passive system components, with the purpose
of making the technical systems safer for operators
and users.

WARNING!
Failure of the control and impact on the process
Cause: If the controller or other parts of the measuring
plate fail, then the process, in the bypass of which the
measuring plate is working, will no longer be measured
and regulated.
Possible consequence: Fatal or very serious injuries.
The process, in the bypass of which the measuring
plate is working, will become out of control and could
cause harmful reactions.
Measure: It is the responsibility of the operator and/or
manufacturer of the entire system in which the meas‐
uring plate is installed to take appropriate measures to
ensure that the failure of the measuring plate or of indi‐
vidual components of the measuring plate do not have
a damaging effect on the entire process and/or the
overall system.
These measures can include, for example:
– Redundant design of the measuring and control
station.
– Connection of an appropriate alarm device to the
measuring plate and/or the controller.
– The alarm relay on the controller could be set to
[fail save] and be evaluated as an overall alarm for
the process.
– Installation of additional safety systems from active
or passive system components, with the purpose
of making the technical systems safer for operators
and users.

CAUTION!
– Please also observe the operating instructions for
fittings and any other units, such as sensors,
sample water pumps ... !

6.1 Assembly (Mechanical)

WARNING!
– Live parts.
– Bear in mind any concealed installations when
drilling holes to secure the
DULCOTROL® measuring/control station.

25
Assembly of the Measuring Point

CAUTION!
– Remove any water from the
DULCOTROL® measuring/control station and the
supplied components before assembly if feed
chemicals are being used, which should not come
into contact with water.
– Fix the DULCOTROL® measuring/control station
perpendicular and upright on a wall or a stable
mounting system. Pay attention to the load-bearing
capacity of the wall or the mounting system.
– Ensure that the
DULCOTROL® measuring/control station is easily
accessible.

CAUTION!
Possibility of over-metering the feed chemicals.
– Should the float of the flow module become stuck
due to dirt, the
DULCOTROL® measuring/control station can over-
meter.
– A filter may be required depending on the type and
quality of the sample water.
– Should the circulating pump not pump, the
DULCOTROL® measuring/control station can over-
meter.
– Lock the controller via the potential-free contact of
the circulating pump. In the event of the circulating
pump being "OFF", the
DULCOTROL® measuring/control station switches
to ‘PAUSE’ via the controller's pause input.
– Alternatively the metering pumps can be switched
in such a way that they only work together with the
circulating pumps.

WARNING!
Failure of the control and impact on the process
Cause: If the controller or other parts of the measuring
plate fail, then the process, in the bypass of which the
measuring plate is working, will no longer be measured
and regulated.
Possible consequence: Fatal or very serious injuries.
The process, in the bypass of which the measuring
plate is working, will become out of control and could
cause harmful reactions.
Measure: It is the responsibility of the operator and/or
manufacturer of the entire system in which the meas‐
uring plate is installed to take appropriate measures to
ensure that the failure of the measuring plate or of indi‐
vidual components of the measuring plate do not have
a damaging effect on the entire process and/or the
overall system.
These measures can include, for example:
– Redundant design of the measuring and control
station.
– Connection of an appropriate alarm device to the
measuring plate and/or the controller.
– The alarm relay on the controller could be set to
[fail save] and be evaluated as an overall alarm for
the process.
– Installation of additional safety systems from active
or passive system components, with the purpose
of making the technical systems safer for operators
and users.

CAUTION!
– Please also observe the operating instructions for
fittings and any other units, such as sensors,
sample water pumps ... !

NOTICE!
Strain relief and decoupling of all connections
Provide all components with suitable strain relief,
decouplings and/or other protection devices to avoid
damage to connections, like pipework, cables etc.
between the measuring plate and the place of installa‐
tion.

42
Electrically and Hydraulically Assembling and Installing the Measuring Points

10.1 Electrical Installation of the Measuring and Control Station

WARNING!
Live parts
Possible consequence: Fatal or very serious injuries.
Measures:
– Switch off the system until de-energised before
opening the housing of the controller and/or ter‐
minal box.
– If the housing of the controller and/or terminal box
is ruptured or obviously damaged, immediately
switch off the system and have it repaired.
– Only carry out set-up / maintenance / repair and
service work when the system is shut down and
the electrical power disconnected. Calibration and
maintenance work on the sensors represents an
exception to this. This can also be done when the
system is live. Please also observe the information
in the operating instructions for the sensors and
controller.
– Check that the seals are sitting correctly after
closing the housing of the controller and/or ter‐
minal box.
We fundamentally recommend the use of appropriate
residual current circuit breakers (RCCB) or other
residual current devices (RCD) providing they can be
installed sensibly and professionally within the elec‐
trical installation. Please adhere to all national stand‐
ards and regulations.

CAUTION!
Defective control by defective measured values
Cause: Electrical faults are coupled into the control cir‐
cuit via the sample medium.
Consequence: Defective control by defective meas‐
ured values. The measuring fault can lead to an
uncontrolled control circuit.
Measure: Do not fit any sources of EMC interference
into the water circulation system and close to the
system.
Perform regular comparative measurements with a
galvanically isolated measuring device.
Provide for potential separation of the power supply
from the measuring device to the power circuit of the
voltage to be measured or a potential separation in the
measuring signal path.
Connect the system to its own power supply, if
needed.
Fit a power repeater, if needed.

Note the electrical connection values on the nameplate of the


measuring and control station. The cable ends of the connecting
lines of the sensors are labelled according to the measured vari‐
able.

WARNING!
Sensor run-in periods
This can result in hazardous incorrect metering.
– Correct measuring and metering is only possible if
the sensor is working perfectly
– Observe the sensor operating instructions
– Calibrate the sensor after commissioning

WARNING!
Danger from hazardous substances!
Possible consequence: Fatal or very serious injuries.
Please ensure when handling hazardous substances
that you have read the latest safety data sheets pro‐
vided by the manufacture of the hazardous substance.
The actions required are described in the safety data
sheet. Check the safety data sheet regularly and
replace, if necessary, as the hazard potential of a sub‐
stance can be re-evaluated at any time based on new
findings.
The system operator is responsible for ensuring that
these safety data sheets are available and that they
are kept up to date, as well as for producing an associ‐
ated hazard assessment for the workstations affected.

CAUTION!
– The sampling tap must be closed, otherwise
sample water can escape.
– The sample water should be free from air bubbles
to ensure reliable measurement and control.
Should the sample water carry air with it as a result
of the process, then suitable means must be used
to separate out the air.
– Please also observe the operating instructions for
controllers and fittings and any other units, such as
sensors, sample water pumps ...

Maximum permissible operating pressure: 1 bar at maximum 45 °C


or see Ä ‘Permissible operating pressures’ on page 144

11.1 Preparation of Sensors


1. Tighten all threaded connectors and check that the threaded
connectors are leak-tight.
2. Check the positions of all shut-off valves. The position of the
shut-off valves has to guarantee that the
DULCOTROL® measuring/control station is tight and that
there is a flow of sample water.
3. Plug the mains plug into the sockets provided and switch on
the mains voltage.

55
Starting-up Sensors

4. Check the operating conditions, as described in the operating


instructions for the sensors, as follows:
n Flow
n Pressure
n Temperature
n pH
n Concentration of feed chemical
Adjust these values so that the values are within the sensor's
specification.
5. To condition the amperometric sensors, make sure that there
is electrical power to the sensors, that there is a flow of
chemical to be measured and that the appropriate run in
period given in the operating instructions for the sensor has
expired.
ð The sensor signal should be stable in terms of time after
conditioning.
Only then can the measuring point be calibrated. The
operating conditions have to remain as constant as pos‐
sible during this.
6. Calibrate the measuring points, as described in the operating
instructions supplied for the respective controller fitted.
7. The operating instructions supplied for the respective sensor
fitted provide detailed information on commissioning the sen‐
sors.

11.2 Sampling from the Bypass Fitting

Bleeding of the DLG


Remove sufficient sample water before taking a
sample to fully bleed the measuring point with meas‐
uring and control stations fitted with DLG bypass fit‐
ting. There should be no air in the bypass fitting during
sampling.

Sampling for calibration


When taking a sample to calibrate a sensor, make
sure that sufficient sample water is removed before
sampling in order to rule out particles of dirt, foreign
bodies etc. in the actual sample. Properly dispose of
the sample water that is removed.

The sampling points are labelled on the measuring and control


plate. The extraction of sample water is only permitted at these
sampling points. The extraction of sample water at other points on
the measuring and control station can lead to incorrect results, for
instance during calibration.

11.3 Calibrating the Sensors


All sensors are calibrated, as described in the operating instruc‐
tions for the controllers and sensors fitted. Any sample required is
taken at the sampling points labelled on the measuring plate, see
Ä Chapter 11.2 ‘Sampling from the Bypass Fitting’ on page 56.

56
Starting-up Sensors

11.4 Calibrating the Fluoride Sensor


There is a fundamental distinction between 1-point calibration and
2-point calibration. 1-point calibration is performed using a
standard solution with e.g. 1 ppm fluoride for calibration. 2-point
calibration is performed using two standard solutions, which have
to be more than 1 ppm apart (minimum value 0.5 ppm).
There are two options for calibrating a fluoride sensor:
n Calibration with a photometer DT2C (order number: 1039316)
n Calibration with a standard solution
The fluoride sensor is calibrated, as described in the operating
instructions for the controller and sensors fitted.
Calibration with a photometer DT2C Refer to the operating instructions for the photometer DT2C.

Calibration with a standard solution


Calibration instructions
Regularly check and calibrate the sensor.
Please note the applicable national guidelines.
The sensor needs to have run in prior to initial calibra‐
tion.
Observe the controller operating instructions.
Perform 2-point calibration during initial commis‐
sioning.
2-point calibration needs to be carried out less regu‐
larly than 1-point calibration.

The standard solution has to be evenly stirred with a magnetic


stirrer during calibration.
Use a standard solution with a conductivity of
> 1000 μS/cm(e.g. 1g/litre Na2SO4 solution) to accelerate potential
adjustment. The two standard solutions have to be more than 1
ppm apart (minimum value 0.5 ppm) to calibrate the slope (2-point
calibration).
1. Immerse the sensor, the reference electrode and the Pt 100
(if fitted) into the standard solution for calibration
2. Perform calibration in line with the controller's specification,
referring to the operating instructions for the controller.

vated. You can access the next value to be set by pressing the
key. In this process, the controller indicates all errors and warn‐
ings. The pending alarm messages can be selected and, if
required, acknowledged/confirmed. If you acknowledge an error,
the alarm relay activates and the backlight switches back to white
light. In the bottom part of the display, the error or warning mes‐
sage that has occurred remains displayed, such as [Error 01], until
the cause has been cleared.
In the event of a warning, e.g. the controller signals that a sensor
has not been calibrated yet, further processing using the controller
is possible with or without acknowledgement of the message.
In the event of an error message [Error], [e.g.] the controller signals
that no sensor is connected, then after acknowledgement of the
message, no further processing is possible using the controller.
You must now rectify the error - for this see the chapter on Diag‐
nostics and Troubleshooting.

Configuration of the Controllers

16 Configuration of the Controllers


The measured variables, sensor types and the measuring ranges
of the sensors fitted are pre-set in the controllers when the meas‐
uring and control station is delivered. The correct presettings are
the prerequisites for correct calibration of the measuring and con‐
trol station. The operating instructions for the individual compo‐
nents provide information on customer-specific adjustments

16.1 Configuration of the Compact Controllers DCCa

Archiving the settings


The settings on the DCCa have to be manually docu‐
mented and archived, as electronic archiving is not
possible with this unit.

Compact controller DCCa used as a transmitter


The Compact controller DCCa only works as a trans‐
mitter and delivers an mA signal to the diaLog con‐
troller DACa. The measuring range can only be
adjusted and the conductivity sensor calibrated on the
Compact controller DCCa. The output of the Compact
controller DCCa is factory-configured to the applica‐
tion-based measuring range.

You have to adjust the outputs of the Compact controller


DCCa in line with the requirements of your application, refer‐
ring to the operating instructions for the controller.
Presetting: inductive conductivity: 0 … 1000 mS/cm, conduc‐
tive conductivity: 0 … 20 mS/cm.

16.2 Configuration of the diaLog Controller DACa

Only when measuring conductivity


When measuring conductivity the compact controller
DCCa acts as a transmitter for the diaLog controller
DACa. The output of the compact controller DCCa is
connected to the input of the diaLog controller DACa.
You therefore have to set the same measuring range
limits on both units.

Configuration and archiving on an SD card


The factory-set configuration of the diaLog controller
DACa is stored on an SD card. This SD card is located
in the SD slot behind the interface cover carrying the
SD logo. If necessary the configuration can be read
from the SD card and the controller DACa can be
returned to its original factory configuration. You can
also save and secure your specific configuration.

80

Additional SD card
Saving the user specific configuration on an additional
SD card. Do not overwrite the original SD card with the

Settings for [Channel 2]


In its 2-channel version, the controller has two meas‐
urement channels. This description for [Channel 1]
applies correspondingly for the settings in [Channel 2].
The procedure for making the settings for the channel
in question is identical, however the parameters to be
set may be different. Differences are pointed out and
are also described.

Display tolerances
Display tolerances between the sensor and/or meas‐
uring device and controller have to be calibrated with
sensors and/or with output signals of measuring
devices that do not require calibration or where calibra‐
tion is performed in the sensor/measuring device. The
relevant information for this is contained in the respec‐
tive operating instructions for the sensor or measuring
device.

Calibrating measuring channel 1 and measuring


channel 2
The calibration processes are identical for measuring
channel 1 and measuring channel 2. However, it is
necessary to calibrate each measuring channel sepa‐
rately

17.1.1 Calibrating the pH sensor


To ensure a high level of measuring accuracy, adjust the pH
sensor at set time intervals. This calibration interval seriously
depends on the application of the pH sensor and on the required
measurement accuracy and reproducibility. The calibration interval
can vary between daily and every few months.

Valid calibration values

Assessment Zero point Slope


Very good -30 mV … +30 mV 56 mV/pH … 60 mV/pH
Good -45 mV … +45 mV 56 mV/pH … 61 mV/pH
Acceptable -60 mV … +60 mV 55 mV/pH … 62 mV/pH

If you measure the pH with potential equalisation, set


this [Potential equalisation] procedure as a parameter
when selecting the measured variable as a parameter.

Calibrate the pH-sensor for the function: pH compen‐


sation for chlorine measurement
It is mandatory that the pH measurement is always
calibrated first, followed by the chlorine measurement.
Calibration of the chlorine measurement should always
follow every further calibration of the pH measurement,
otherwise the chlorine measurement will be inaccurate.

83
Calibrating the Controller diaLog DACa

Selecting the calibration process Select the calibration process prior to initial calibration. This selec‐
tion is saved until you select a new process.
n 2-point calibration: This is the recommended calibration
process because it evaluates the sensor characteristic data:
asymmetric potential, slope and response speed. 2 buffer solu‐
tions are needed for 2-point calibration, e.g. pH 7 and pH 4 if
subsequent measurement is to be performed in an acidic
medium or pH 7 and pH 10, if subsequent measurement is to
be performed in an alkaline medium. The buffer gap should be
at least 2 pH units.
n Samples (1-point) calibration: There are two options here.
Samples (1-point) calibration is only recommended with reser‐
vations. From time to time check the sensor with 2-point cali‐
bration.
– The pH sensor remains in the sample medium and you
should calibrate a sample of the medium to be measured
against an external comparison measurement. Perform the
comparison measurement using an electrochemical
method. Deviations of up to ± 0.5 pH units can occur using
the phenol red method (photometer).
–Calibration solely using a pH 7 buffer. This only calibrates
the zero point. The sensor is not checked for an acceptable
slope.
n Data input: With this calibration method, using a comparison
measuring device, determine in advance the characteristic data
of the pH sensor (asymmetry and slope) at standard tempera‐
ture and enter this data into the controller. The comparative
calibration should not be more than one week old because the
pH sensor's characteristic data changes if the data is saved for
longer.

84
Calibrating the Controller diaLog DACa

Buffer temperature dependencies


Buffer temperature
At temperatures that differ by 25 °C in the process,
adjust the pH of the buffer solution by entering the ref‐
erence values printed on the buffer solution bottle into
the controller prior to calibration.

Buffer temperature dependencies


An incorrectly entered buffer temperature can lead to
incorrect calibration.
Each buffer has different temperature dependencies.
You have various choices in terms of compensating for
these temperature dependencies, so that the controller
can correctly process the buffer temperature.
– Buffer temperature [Manual]: Ensure that the buffer
temperature is identical for both buffers. Enter the
buffer temperature in the [CAL Setup] menu item in
the controller.
– Buffer temperature [Automatic]: Then immerse the
temperature sensor connected to the controller
together with the pH sensor into the buffer. Wait for
a sufficiently long period of time until the pH and
temperature sensor have recorded the buffer tem‐
perature.
– Buffer temperature [Off]: this setting is not recom‐
mended. Please use another setting.

The sensor stability information displayed during calibration,


[acceptable], [good] and [very good], indicates to what extent the
sensor signal fluctuates during calibration. At the start of calibra‐
tion, the waiting time for stabilising of the measured value is 30
seconds; during this waiting time, [Please wait!] flashes in the dis‐
play. You cannot continue with calibration during this waiting time.
If the pH sensor is cold, e.g. < 10 °C, then the pH sensor responds
slowly and you have to wait a few minutes until the sensor signal
has stabilised.
The controller has no waiting time limit. You will see the actual
[sensor voltage] in mV and can identify high fluctuations and
assign influences to them, such as the movement of the sensor
cable.
Calibration is impossible if the sensor signal is very unsteady and
the sensor signal is disrupted by external influences, or if the
sensor cable has a cable break or the coaxial cable is damp. Rec‐
tify any fault or cable break.
You can only continue with calibration once the signal bar has
reached the [acceptable] range and remains there or moves
towards [good] or [very good]. Changes to the signal within the
ranges [acceptable], [good] and [very good] are permitted.
The signal fluctuation width within the ranges is specified as fol‐
lows:
n first 30 seconds wait time, then evaluation of the sensor signal
– Acceptable: 0.5 mV/30s
– Good: 0.3 mV/30s
– Very good: 0.1mV/30s

There are 2 methods of buffer detection with 2-point
calibration.
[Requirement]: you have to select 2 buffers from the 4
possible buffer sets for this. Adhere to the selected
order, e.g. buffer value 1: pH 7 and buffer value 2: pH
4 for calibration.
– ProMinent® (pH 4; 7; 9; 10)
– NBS/DIN 19266 (pH 1; 4; 7, ; 9)
– DIN 19267 (pH 1;4; 7; 9; 13)
– Merck + Riedel® (pH 2; 4; 7; 9; 12)
The buffer sets vary with regard to their pH values and
temperature dependencies configured in the controller.
The pH values for the different temperatures are also
printed on the buffer containers.
[Manual]: enter the buffer value with the associated
temperature into the controller.
– The pH values of the buffer solution at tempera‐
tures that deviate from 25 °C are displayed in a
table on the label of the buffer bottle.
Select the buffer you require.

Valid calibration values


Valid calibration:
– Zero point -60mV…+60 mV
– Slope 55 mV/pH…62 mV/pH

You need two test containers with buffer solution for calibration.
The pH values of the buffer solutions should be at least 2 pH
values apart. Thoroughly rinse the sensor with water when
changing the buffer solution.

17.1.1.3 pH sensor calibration (CAL) with an external sample (1-point)

Measuring and control behaviour of the controller


during calibration
During calibration the actuating outputs are deacti‐
vated. Exception: a basic load or a manual control vari‐
able has been set. This remains active. The measured
value output [standard signal output mA] is frozen, cor‐
responding to its settings in the mA output menu.
When calibration/testing has been completed success‐
fully, all of the error checks relating to the measured
value are restarted. The controller saves all the deter‐
mined data for zero point and slope upon a successful
calibration.

NOTICE!
Poor sensor operation and fluctuating pH values
during the process
The calibration method with an external sample has a
number of disadvantages compared with the buffer
solution calibration method. If the pH value fluctuates
significantly during the process, then the pH value may
change by a variable amount in the period between
sampling, sample measurement and entry of the pH
value into the controller. This could mean that the pH
value entered into the controller does not correspond
to the actual pH value in the process. Consequently
the result is a linear displacement of the pH value
across the entire measuring range.
If the pH sensor no longer reacts to changes in the pH
value and only gives out a constant uniform mV signal,
this cannot be detected using the calibration method
with an external sample. With the calibration method
with two buffers (e.g. pH 7 and pH 4), this becomes
apparent if the pH sensor does not detect any changes
in the pH value.
The calibration method with an external sample should
only be used with installations where there is poor
access to the pH sensor and the identical or very uni‐
form pH values are used in the process. In addition the
pH sensor should be regularly serviced or replaced.

Correct sensor operation


– Correct measuring, control and metering is only
possible if the sensor is working perfectly
– Refer to the sensor's operating instructions

Data input
Using the

bration method, the sensor's known data is entered
into the controller. Calibration by data input is only as
accurate and reliable as the method with which the
data was determined.
The sensor data must have been determined in real-
time. The more up-to-date the sensor data is, the more
reliable is this calibration method.

17.1.4 Calibrating Amperometric Sensors

Calibrating Amperometric Sensors


The process for calibrating amperometric sensors is
identical with all amperometric measured variables.
The process for calibrating amperometric measured
variables is described throughout based on the meas‐
ured variable chlorine [Cl]. All other measured varia‐
bles require the same process as the measured vari‐
able chlorine [Cl].
The following measured variables can be calibrated
using the process described here:
– Chlorine
– Chlorine dioxide
– Bromine
– Chlorite
– Ozone
– Peracetic acid (PES)
– H2O2

104
Calibrating the Controller diaLog DACa

Calibration combining pH and chlorine


It is imperative that you always calibrate the pH meas‐
urement first before the chlorine measurement. The
chlorine measurement always needs to be calibrated
any further time the pH measurement is calibrated.
Otherwise the chlorine measurement will be inaccu‐
rate.

The measured value frozen at the start of calibration is suggested


as a reference value. The reference value can be set using the
arrow keys. Calibration is only possible if the reference value is ≥ 2
% of the measuring range of the sensor.

NOTICE!
Prerequisites for correct calibration of the sensor slope
– The reference method needed is used, depending
on the feed chemical used (e.g. DPD 1 for free
chlorine).
– The run-in period for the sensor has been com‐
plied with; refer to the operating instructions for the
sensor.
– There is permitted and constant flow at the in-line
probe housing
– There is temperature balance between the sensor
and the sample water
– There is a constant pH value in the permitted
range

Permitted calibration range


The permitted calibration range is 20 ... 300% of the
sensor's rated value.
Example of a shallow slope: Blocking of the sensor
membrane leads to a low slope (low slope = low
sensor sensitivity)
Example of a steep slope: Surfactants make the
sensor membrane more permeable, leading to a
steeper slope (steep slope = high sensor sensitivity)

17.1.4.3 Calibration of zero point

Necessity for calibrating the zero point


Calibration of the zero point is not generally necessary.
A calibration of the zero point is only necessary if the
sensor is operated at the lower limit of the measuring
range or if the 0.5 ppm sensor version is used.

during calibration
During calibration the actuating outputs are deacti‐
vated. Exception: a basic load or a manual control vari‐
able has been set. This remains active. The measured
value output [standard signal output mA] is frozen, cor‐
responding to its settings in the mA output menu.
When calibration/testing has been completed success‐
fully, all of the error checks relating to the measured
value are restarted. The controller saves all the deter‐
mined data for zero point and slope upon a successful
calibration.

17.1.5 Calibrating Oxygen Sensors


Specifying the calibration interval The calibration interval depends heavily on:
n the application
n the installation location of the sensor

110
Calibrating the Controller diaLog DACa

If you wish to calibrate a sensor for a special application and/or a


special installation location, then you can determine the calibration
intervals using the following method. Check the sensor, e.g. one
month after commissioning:
1. Remove the sensor from the medium
2. Clean the outside of the sensor with a damp cloth
3. Then gently dry the sensor membrane for example using a
paper towel
4. After 20 minutes measure the oxygen saturation index in the
air
5. Protect the sensor from external influences, such as sunlight
and wind
ð Now decide depending on the expected result:
Amperometric sensor: Calibrate the sensor if the meas‐
ured value is not 102 ± 2 %SAT.
If the value is within the setpoint range, then you can
extend the calibration interval. Repeat this process
monthly and determine the optimum calibration interval
for your application from the results.

Calibration specifications of the sensor man‐


ufacturer
When determining the calibration interval,
also take into consideration the operating
instructions for the sensor, which may offer
additional and/or different calibration inter‐
vals.

WARNING!
Danger from hazardous substances!
Possible consequence: Fatal or very serious injuries.
Please ensure when handling hazardous substances
that you have read the latest safety data sheets pro‐
vided by the manufacture of the hazardous substance.
The actions required are described in the safety data
sheet. Check the safety data sheet regularly and
replace, if necessary, as the hazard potential of a sub‐
stance can be re-evaluated at any time based on new
findings.
The system operator is responsible for ensuring that
these safety data sheets are available and that they
are kept up to date, as well as for producing an associ‐
ated hazard assessment for the workstations affected.

WARNING!
Live parts
Possible consequence: Fatal or very serious injuries.
Measures:
– Disconnect the system from the power supply
before opening the housing of a component.
– If the housing of the pump, controller, terminal box
or other component is broken, ruptured or obvi‐
ously damaged, immediately switch off the system
and arrange for its repair.
– Only carry out set-up / maintenance / repair and
service work when the system is shut down and
the electrical power disconnected. Calibration and
maintenance work on the sensors represents an
exception to this. This work can be carried out
while the system is live. Please also observe the
information in the operating instructions for the
sensors and controllers.
– Check that the seals are sitting correctly after
closing the housing of the pump, controller or ter‐
minal box
We fundamentally recommend the use of appropriate
residual current circuit breakers (RCCB) or other
residual current devices (RCD) providing they can be
installed sensibly and professionally within the elec‐
trical installation. Please adhere to all national stand‐
ards and regulations.
