Technical specifications

Measurement technology

Membrane-covered, amperometric potentiostatic 3-electrode system with integrated electronics

Measuring principle

Amperometry

Parameters

Total chlorine (= free chlorine + combined chlorine)
Reduced pH dependency

Suitable chlorinating agents

Anorganic chlorine compounds: NaOCl (=chlorine bleach), Ca(OCl)2, chlorine gas, electrolytically generated chlorine

Measuring range

0...2 mg/L, 0...20 mg/L

Accuracy*

Measuring range 2 mg/L:

at 0.4 mg/L < 2 %

at 1.6 mg/L < 2 %

Measuring range 20 mg/L:

at 4 mg/L < 1 %

at 16 mg/L < 3 %

Resolution

Measuring range 2 mg/L:

0.001 mg/L

Measuring range 20 mg/L:

0.01 mg/L

Response time T90

approx. 3 min (brine water approx. 5 min)

Run-in time

For initial commissioning approx. 2 h

Slope drift

approx. -1 % per month
Under repeat conditions (25 °C, pH 7.2 in drinking water)

Temperature compensation

Automatic, via integrated temperature sensor; temperature jumps must be avoided

pH range

pH4 ... pH12, greatly reduced pH value dependency

Conductivity

10 to approx. 200 µS/cm (brine water)

Zero point determination

Not required

Slope calibration

On the measuring device, by means of analytical chlorine determination, DPD-4 method (DPD-1 + DPD-3)

Cross-sensitivities/ interfering substances

ClO2: factor 1
O3: factor 1.3

Corrosion inhibitors can lead to measurement errors. Water hardness stabilizers can lead to measurement errors.

Absence of the disinfectant

Max. 24 h

Maintenance interval

Regular check of the measurement signal at least once a week
