2.4.5 Statistics, acid capacity of drinking water
Let us now determine the acid capacity of drinking water. For this, the SET (set endpoint
titration) mode is used to titrate to pH = 4.3.
First select the mode SET pH (keys
Now set the end point.

Control parameters for EP1
• Set the end point to pH = 4.3.
• Dynamics means the control range in which the
adding of the titrant is controlled in dependence on
the measured value (OFF: largest control range, i.e.
slow titration).
With buffered systems such as drinking water, this
value can be set lower, e.g. to 3. I.e. 3 pH units be-
fore the set EP controlled dosing starts.
Maximum possible titration rate inside the control
range.
Minimum titration rate inside the control range.

electrode assembly has been calibrated. The second line shows a "control bar", which
indicates the control deviation of the current measured value from the set end point.
