Reddox

please dont think im being rude here but, i have asked 2 questions, you have answered on both, and yr answers have been as helpful as missing a bus.

i spent a fortune on the ghl stuff yesterday and to be honest, the instructions are the worst i have ever come across in my entire life.

as i said, dont take this wrong, im just getting so frustrated with it, i cant even get the plugbar working because the instructions are so poor, i have put hours into this today and dont feel i have got anywhere.

Also, i have been connecting to my wireless connection on my pc, and it wont even connect now

Rant over

Hi

We always help everyone and rapidly, but to repeat what is in the manual I am not sure how else to explain it, the manual has step by step instructions and my salinity post could not be more easy to follow.

I do also suggest signing up to the support forum where all support is carried out.

But for now what part of the manual do you not understand?
 
2.3 Calibration
This function serves for the calibration of a sensor. The calibration process is different for each sensor type. Not all sensors can or must be calibrated.

For all sensors that can be calibrated, it is basically valid:
Only if ProfiLux has been calibrated with the connected sensor, correct values can be determined. The calibration is always necessary for new sensors. Also due to the aging process of a sensor, the calibration should be repeated from time to time. Please pay attention to the instructions of the sensor manufacturer. Before the sensor is dipped into a calibration fluid, the sensor has to be always dried carefully (blow out, shake, dry tissue)!

First the Calibration tolerance has to be entered (between 1 and 3) which is taken as a basis for the calibration. For old sensors it can occur that the measured value doesn’t sufficiently stabilize and a calibration is not possible. Under certain circumstances, through an increase of the calibration tolerance it is possible to adjust this
sensor although, of course at the cost of the accuracy of measurement. In principle, calibration processes should be carried out with the smallest possible calibration tolerance.

Afterwards, for certain sensors you have the possibility to change the values to which it shall be calibrated.

Now the calibration process itself follows, it depends on the type of the sensor.

pH-Sensor
First of all you are asked to dip the pH-sensor into a calibration fluid with the first calibration value. A subsequent pressing of RETURN starts the measurement process. After completion of the measurement you are asked to repeat the same procedure with a calibration fluid with the second calibration value. Also here the measurement process has to be started with RETURN.

quick guide to redox

on profilux scroll to sensors
scroll to redox
scroll to calibration
follow onscreen instructions step by step, making sure you carry out the process with fitting the supplied Null plug to the redox port. Once the zero value has been calibrated you can then move on, but all instructions are provided step by step as you go through the process.
 
firstly i need to get the profilux controll panel to connect to my pc as it has stopped.

its been ok most of the day.

There is nothing in the manual that tells you what goes where
 
Hi

What goes where is also covered in the manual on page 7 with detailed photo diagram and the fullest of descriptions

I do suggest at this point which is really good advise for all new owners, read both the manual and programming guide to familiarise yourself with the product then baby step yourself one accessory at a time, start with the temp probe and then move onto pH, it will then all start to gel

what setting is this in on the ghl, it dosent tell you, i worked out it was in the tab, but it dont tell you that, its the same with the salinity and reddox

Yes, it tells you what to do, but not where to do it, its like anything, its easy when you know how lol
 
Hi

I am sorry you found this difficult to follow, all calibration is performed on the controller itself, I do think it is best to familiarise yourself with the manuals and where everything goes so to alliaviate any miss understandings.
