35 / 43
Troubleshooting

8.2.3 Checking the zero point

The electronics must have been tested and found to be OK.

Prepare the sensor (see section 4.2, p. 16).

Connect the sensor to the measuring and control device.
Fill a glass beaker with mains water (without any disinfectant!).
Stir the sensor round in the glass beaker for 30 seconds.
Carefully put the sensor down obliquely in the glass beaker.
Wait 30 minutes.
Read the measured value.
If the measured value is close to the value 0, the zero point can
provisionally be regarded as OK.
If the measured value deviates significantly from zero:
Perform maintenance on the sensor (see section 7, p. 25) and repeat the
zero point test.

A freshly cleaned working electrode has a relatively high zero point. The
sensor takes a few days to settle back to its lowest zero point.

If after maintenance has been performed on the sensor measured value is

not close to zero:
Return the sensor to the supplier for checking.
This completes the zero point checking.

36 / 43
 Troubleshooting

8.2.4 Signal
The zero point checking must have been performed successfully.
Add the relevant disinfectant to the mains water in the glass beaker
(see section 8.2.3, p. 36).
Stir the sensor steadily round in the glass beaker for five minutes.
Monitor the measured value throughout this time.
If the measured value increases, the sensor can provisionally be
regarded as OK.
If the measured value does not change:
Perform maintenance on the sensor (see section 7, p. 25) and repeat the

Shake the sensor body dry several times (see Fig. 10, p. 25).
Rinse the electrode finger with mains water.
Dry the membrane cap and sensor body in a dust-free place.
For protection, loosely screw the dry membrane cap onto the sensor body.
Make sure that the membrane is not lying in contact with the working
electrode.

If the membrane cap has been in use for one day or longer we
recommend that it is not used when the sensor is recommissioned.
> Perform a change of membrane cap (see section 7.2, p. 25).

11 Disposal
Comply with the local regulations on disposal.

 Warranty

12 Warranty
We grant a manufacturer’s warranty of two years on the sensor body and the
electronics, subject to correct handling. The warranty does not apply to the
membrane cap (wearing part), electrolyte (expendable material)
and service work to be performed (cleaning the parts in contact with the
electrolyte, renewing the reference electrode and cleaning the electrode tip
with fine grade emery paper). If there is mechanical damage or the serial
number is illegible, the warranty becomes void.

Returning a sensor for checking/factory reconditioning:

Shipments will be accepted only if they are returned carriage paid.
Otherwise it will be returned to the sender.
Each return shipment must be accompanied by a completed declaration of
clearance. missing or not completed declaration of clearance, a cleaning fee
will be charged.
On checked/reconditioned sensors we grant a warranty of one year from the
date of checking/reconditioning. The warranty is on the electrode
body and the electronics, subject to correct handling.
If there is mechanical damage or the serial number is illegible, this
warranty becomes void.

13 Liability disclaimer
The sensor is manufactured with great care and is subjected to a
documented function test. Should any malfunctions occur in the sensor
despite this, no liability claims may be lodged against the manufacturer for
damages resulting from this malfunction.

Recommended titration procedure
For the determination of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), only the 1st titration
stage need to be performed.
For the determination of peracetic acid (PAA) the 1st and 2nd titration
stages need to be performed.

Procedure:
. The titration must be performed quickly.
. After the first addition of potassium permanganate it may take a few
seconds before the sample shows colour.
. Renewed colouration of the sample after completion of the 2nd
titration stage is disregarded.
. In the 1st titration stage, take care to avoid a large excess of
potassium permanganate (intense violet colouration of the sample).

In the 2nd titration stage the potassium permanganate will be

codetermined as peracetic acid and thus falsifies the results.
