6.2 Zero (offset) Calibration Procedure
Generally this calibration is only required if readings are expected to be below 1 mg/L or
if it is required by a regulatory authority. To perform this calibration, the water supply to
the CLX must be changed to chlorine free water such as de-ionized water. This chlorine
free water must be run through the instrument for at least 5 minutes prior to using the
following procedure.
1. On the CLX, press the MODE/EXIT button once. The screen is shown below.
2. Press either the or buttons to get the following screen.
3. Press to enter the zero calibration screen.
4. The screen will show the current reading on the CLX. Since there is no
chlorine, the only reading may be a slight offset due to the absorbance of the
reagents. There should be no pink color developed.
5. Press to perform a Zero calibration. When the calibration has completed the
instrument will return to AUTO measurement mode automatically.
There is a limit of ±0.20 mg/L total adjustment available. A ZERO Cal.
greater than this will cause a CAL warning and no calibration will have
occurred. Enter SERVICE mode to clear this error.
6.3 Restore Factory Settings
If the CLX displays a CAL error or the calibration was incorrectly performed, it may be desired to
restore the factory calibration. All factory defaults including factory configurations can be reset
by holding down the button and then pressing and releasing the button then releasing the
button.
