9.13.1 Calibrating the chlorine dioxide measured value
To calibrate the chlorine dioxide measured value, a reference
measurement must be taken. This can be made with the
Grundfos DIT photometer and the usual reagents.
The determined reference value is entered by correcting the
current measured value in the display.
The controller reads in the new measured value. It assigns the
current signal [µA] from calibration, coming in at the current input
of the measuring cell, to the new measured value.
Check, if the measured value of the electrode is constant:
1. "service > measurement > ClO2 > measured value".
– Current chlorine dioxide concentration at the measuring cell
– Current signal of the measuring cell
– Measuring range.

If the measured value remains constant:
2. Determine the chlorine dioxide value by means of a reference
measurement, and note it down.

asym.
The slope is the straight line between the measured value and
the zero point. The unit is µA per ppm (ppm = parts per million =
mg/l in water).
The slope can be presented graphically:

photometer
From now on, the controller uses this value as the basis for
calculations. Chlorine dioxide calibration is completed.
Reading the slope in the calibration logbook
1. "service > measurement".
2. Entry number 1 is the latest entry, entry number 2 is the
previous one, etc.

Enabling the display the chlorine dioxide calibration interval
1. "calibration > ClO2 > CAL cycle".
2. Select "Off" to disable the interval or select "On" to enable it.
3. If the interval is enabled enter it in days (1-100).
9.13.2 Performing (two-point) pH calibration
The electrode sends the voltage [mV] that corresponds to the pH
value to the controller. Two different buffer solutions can be used
to calibrate the pH measured value.
1. Prepare two glass jars with the buffer solutions.
2. Prepare an empty 10-liter plastic bucket.
3. Measure the temperature of the buffer solution.
