Colorimetric Systems
Operating Principle
Add buffer and indicator solution to a known
volume of water.
After mixing, measure wavelength of light
transmitted through sample to determine
color change and thus, amount of free
residual chlorine in the sample.

Open Electrode/Buffered Systems
Operating Principle
A known volume of sample water is pumped
into a chamber and buffered to a pH of 4.
Two bare electrodes are in contact with the
sample inside the chamber and based upon mV
readings, a free residual chlorine value is
derived.

Membrane Sensor
Operating Principle
A sensor consisting of a membrane (which
allows HOCL to migrate through it), two
dissimilar metal electrodes, and an electrolyte
are submersed into the water sample.
A free residual chlorine reading is derived
based on mV changes experienced by the
sensor.

High Resolution Redox
Advantages
In some instances, does a better job of
determining residual chlorine demand.
Disadvantages
Does not measure free residual chlorine
directly.
Any oxidant present in water sample will
be read as an increase in free residual
chlorine.

IC Controls - pH/ORP Method
Operating Principle
Water flows through a Dual Flow Cell
consisting of an ORP and a PH sensor.
Microprocessor in the analyzer calculates the
free residual chlorine (HOCL+OCL-)
concentration by using a polynomial
formula. This calculation requires the
analyzer to know the measured ORP, PH and
temperature values.

Polarographic
Applied voltage from the Cathode to the Anode.
Reaction of Chlorine at Cathode generates a current.
Output can go below zero; a value that does not exist.
Therefore, decreased accuracy in calibration and measurement

Recharging the Sensor
Over time the sensor internal will deplete and the
membrane and fill solution will need replacement.
Historically, this was a difficult process with creases
being formed in the membrane and air bubbles in the
fill solution which cause inaccurate readings. At
times the process could take up to 1 hour to replace a
membrane and put a sensor back on line.
The model 835 sensor provides ease of use which
includes fast, reliable and simple maintenance.

Module
Maintenance is made easy
with the Membrane
Replacement device.
This system ensures there
are no air bubbles or creases
in the membrane cap which
will cause false inaccurate
readings.
Tip
Retainer
An easy process that allows
recharging and re-installation
in less than 5 minutes.
