Electrodes An NitraLyt
®Plus
700 IQ sensor ready to measure requires a reference
electrode and an ion sensitive electrode for the main parameter,
ammonium. The electrodes are screwed into the electrode support.
The electrode support has two receptacles for this.
Automatic chloride
compensation
With the aid of the automatic chloride compensation, the influence of
chloride ions on nitrate measurement due to measuring technique is
compensated for during measurement. To determine the chloride
concentration, the NitraLyt
®Plus
700 IQ is equipped with a chloride
electrode.
