How to Calibrate the DEPOLOX® Pool Compact Controller
The DEPOLOX® Pool Compact Controller is applicable for the measurement of chlorine, pH, ORP and temperature.
Chlorine Calibration
During calibration for free chlorine, a zero point calibration and a measured value calibration (DPD1) must be carried out.
Zero Point Calibration
- Press the symbol with the horizontal lines
- Press the menu Calibration "Cal"
- Tap the measurement "Chlorine"
- Press the parameter "Zero point"
- Close the ball valve on the sample water inlet
- Wait until the displayed chlorine value no longer changes
- Press the "Calibration" button. An input field opens
- Press "Enter" to save the zero point
- Open the ball valve on the sample water inlet
- After zero point calibration, wait at least 2 minutes
Measuring Value Calibration (DPD)
- Open the sample extraction unit (drain) by approximately 1 turn and extract a specimen of the sample water
- Determine the content of free chlorine in the sample using a photometer
- Press the parameter "DPD"
- Press the "Calibration" button. An input field opens
- Use the input keys to enter the determined value
- Press "Enter" to save the entry
This concludes the calibration of free chlorine.
PH Calibration
- Press the symbol with the horizontal lines
- Press the menu Calibration "Cal"
- Tap the measurement "pH"
- Press the parameter "pH 7"
- Close the sample water inlet and sample water outlet and briefly open the sample extraction unit (drain) to release the pressure. Close the sample extraction unit (drain) again
- Place the beaker into the bottom clip and fill with buffer solution "pH 7.00" or clamp the bag with buffer solution "pH 7.00" into the bottom clip
- Unscrew the pH sensor from the cover of the cell body of the flow cell
- Dip the pH sensor through the top clip at least 2 cm deep into the buffer solution and move slightly until the indicated pH value remains constant
- Press the "Calibration" button. An input field opens
- Use the input field to enter the value to be calibrated for the buffer solution
- Press "Enter" to save the entry
- Remove the buffer solution "pH 7.00" from the bottom clip
- Wash the sensor in distilled water to prevent carryover of buffer solution
- Press the parameter "pH X"
- Place the beaker into the bottom clip and fill it with buffer solution "pH 4.65" or clamp a bag with buffer solution "pH 4.65" into the bottom clip
- Dip the pH sensor at least 2 cm deep into the buffer solution and move gently until the indicated pH value remains constant
- Press the "Calibration" button. An input field opens
- Use the keypad to enter the value to be calibrated
- Press "Enter" to save the entry
- Remove the pH sensor from the top clip
- Screw the pH sensor into the cover of the cell body of the flow cell
- Open the sample water inlet and outlet again
This concludes the pH calibration.
ORP Calibration (REDOX)
- Press the symbol with the horizontal lines
- Press the menu Calibration "Cal"
- Select the "ORP" measurement menu
- Press the parameter "Cal. value"
- Place the beaker into the bottom clip and fill it with calibration solution "478 mV" or clamp a bag with calibration solution "478 mV" into the bottom clip
- Close the sample water inlet and sample water outlet and briefly open the sample extraction unit (drain) to release the pressure. Close the sample extraction unit (drain) again
- Screw the ORP sensor into the cover of the cell body of the flow cell
- Dip the ORP sensor through the top clip at least 2 cm deep into the calibration solution and move it slightly until the indicated pH value remains constant
- Press the "Calibration" button. An input field opens
- Use the keypad to enter the value to be calibrated
- Press "Enter" to save the entry
- Remove the ORP sensor from the top clip
- Screw the ORP sensor into the cover of the cell body of the flow cell
- Open the sample water inlet and outlet again
This concludes the ORP calibration.
Temperature Calibration
- Press the symbol with the horizontal lines
- Press the menu Calibration "Cal"
- Tap the measurement "Temperature"
- Press the parameter "Cal. value"
- Perform comparative temperature measurement
- Use the keypad to enter the value to be calibrated
- Press "Enter" to save the entry
This concludes the temperature calibration.
