5.8 Modules
The calibration data can only be assigned to a user name if
the calibration data were recorded with the current
combination of terminal and module.
As a result of the registration of the modules, the terminal
recognizes whether the calibration data were stored in the
module with this or another terminal.
The registration of a module to a terminal is made
automatically in the first calibration of a module at a terminal.
If a module is registered at a terminal, the user name with
which the calibration was performed appears on the display
during the prompt of a calibration protocol, and the module
appears in the Registered modules list. This list contains all
registered modules with the module type and serial number.
If a module is not registered at a terminal, a note together
with unknown as the user name appears on the display
during the prompt of a calibration protocol.
Note
The maximum number of registered modules is 16. Further
modules are not registered. Calibrations are nevertheless
possible. Anonymous appears as the user name.

Calibration interval The calibration interval determines the time interval between
regular system calibrations.
The terminal reminds you to calibrate regularly by the
flashing probe symbol on the display.
The calibration interval is set to 7 days in the factory. You
can change the interval (1-999 days).
For most applications, we recommend a shorter calibration
interval.

avoid contact with acetone or similar detergents that contain
solvents. Remove any splashes immediately.
13.3 Disposal
Packing This measuring system is sent out in a protective transport
packing.
We recommend: Keep the packing material. The original
packing protects the instrument against damage during
transport.
Batteries This note refers to the battery regulation that applies in the
Federal Republic of Germany. We would ask end-
consumers in other countries to follow their local statutory
provisions.
Note
In compliance with §14 BATTERY REGULATION, we would like
to point out that this instrument contains batteries.
Batteries that have been removed must only be disposed of
at the recycling facility set up for this purpose or via the retail
outlet.
It is illegal to dispose of them in household refuse.

Blank value solution Blank value solutions are used to determine the blank
value. Blank value solutions are obtained when samples
of the dilution water are mixed with nitrification inhibitors
and subjected to the same treatment as the sample
dilutions. The blank value is determined from the
measurement of the oxygen content of the blank value
solutions before and after the incubation period.
BODn Abbreviation for the biochemical oxygen demand of a
water sample after an incubation period of n days.
Calibration Comparing the value from a measuring system (e. g. the
displayed value) to the correct value or a value that is
regarded as correct. Often, this expression is also used
when the measuring system is adjusted at the same time
(see adjusting).
Cell constant, k Characteristic quantity of a conductivity measuring cell,
depending on the geometry.
Conductivity Short form of the expression, specific electrical
conductivity. It is a measured value of the ability of a
substance to conduct an electric current. In water
analysis, the electrical conductivity is a dimension for the
ionized substances in a solution.
Conductometry Name of the conductivity measuring technique.
Diaphragm The junction is a porous body in the housing wall of
reference electrodes or electrolyte bridges. It forms the
electrical contact between two solutions and makes
electrolyte exchange more difficult. The expression,
junction, is also used for ground or junction-less
transitions.

Dilution water Designation for the water which is used to dilute a water
sample that is to be analyzed.
The dilution water is a water saturated with air of the purity
degree 3 (acc. to EN ISO 3696) that has been mixed with
electrolyte solutions.
If the dilution water was mixed with bacteria (innoculation
water), the mixture is referred to as innoculated dilution
water.
Details on the production of dilution water are laid down in
EN 1899-1.
Electrode zero point The zero point of a pH electrode is the pH value at which
the electromotive force of the pH electrode at a specified
temperature is zero. Normally, this is at 25 °C.
Electromotive force of The electromotive force U of the electrode is the
an electrode measurable electromotive force of an electrode in a
solution. It equals the sum of all the galvanic voltages of
the electrode. Its dependency on the pH results in the
electrode function which is characterized by the
parameters, slope and zero point.
End measurement Measurement of the oxygen content of sample dilution
and dilution water after expiry of the incubation period.
Firmware Software installed on an instrument (here: measuring
module) that is fixed and cannot be changed.
Incubation period Storage period (usually 5 or 7 days) of sample dilutions
and dilution water at a specified temperature (20 °C) in the
dark.
ISA English abbreviation for a sample conditioning solution,
which is used to adjust the ionic strength of a sample.
Ionic Strength Adjustment
Measured parameter The measured parameter is the physical dimension
determined by measuring, e. g. pH, conductivity or D. O.
