10.8.3 Calibrating the parameters chlorine, chlorine dioxide
or ozone with Conex DIS-D
1. Press the [CAL] button to select the calibration menu.
– The CAL LED next to the [CAL] button illuminates.
– The display shows the current measured value.
– To prevent overdosing, the controllers must be switched off,
and the device controlled must be closed.
2. Use [UP]/[DOWN] to select the reference value.
3. Start the calibration with [OK].
– The sensor data are then read in.
– The slope (sensitivity) of the sensor is calculated.
– The calibration result is displayed immediately after
calibration.
– The sensor slope is displayed in µA/ppm.
Calibration result
• The result of the current (last) calibration can be displayed in
the code menu at any time:
– Code 51: display of calibrated slope in µA/ppm.
Error message when reading in the current signal of the
sensor system
• The alarm LED flashes.
• The display shows code *13* (slope error).
The alarm is triggered, if the plausibility check results in an
upward or a downward violation of the following slope ranges,
depending on the selected measuring cell:
Measuring cell Lower limit
AQC-D13 2.5 µA/ppm
• Press [OK] to acknowledge the error message and to return to
the display level.
– The calibration data are imported.
The controller is operating in emergency mode!
Eliminate the fault, see section

11.1 Function

Various oxidation agents are used for the disinfection of
swimming-pool water and drinking water, for instance chlorine
(Cl
It is necessary to measure the concentration of the oxidation
agent and to regulate its dosing.

The AQC-D13 measuring cell is used for measuring the
concentration of chlorine (Cl

and redox electrodes, and also for a water sensor and an Pt100
temperature sensor.
Preassembled system with Conex DIA, Conex DIS and DIP are
used when the values of decontamination agents, pH and
redox-potential have to be determined and controlled. The basic
element of the preassembled systems is the AQC-D13 measuring
cell.

– Disinfection effect is too weak.
Concentration of oxidation agent is too high:
– Danger to health
– Unpleasant odour and taste
– Corrosion damage
– Increased operating costs.

) and is equipped with additional holders for pH electrodes
Sample water is taken at a representative position and passed
to the measuring cell via an integral filter.
– The water flow rate can be adjusted on the measuring cell.
– A water sensor (optional) serves to trigger an alarm or to
switch off the control function, if there is a sample water
deficiency.
– The agent to be determined (Cl
the gold or platinum electrode.
The agent to be determined generates an electric current in
the µA range, proportional to its concentration.
– The measuring cell is controlled by a potentiostat in the
measuring amplifier.
A constant voltage is applied to the measuring electrode.
An exactly defined potential of the measuring electrode is
retained by means of the reference electrode. This results in a
linear response for the measuring cell as well as a stable zero
point for the measurement.
The Conex or DIP measuring amplifiers and controllers
– amplify the current
– calculate it using the calibration parameters
– display the concentration as a digital value
– control a gas dosing unit or a dosing pump
(device controlled).
This ensures uniform sensitivity for the measuring cell over a
long period.
The cleaning wing is driven hydraulically.
