  • Patent number: 11366053
    Abstract: A flow-through measuring station includes at least one flow cell having a fluid channel. The fluid channel has a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet and is configured to conduct a liquid medium. One or more flow cells each include at least one sensor configured to be contacted with the medium and to determine at least one respective media property. At least one illumination unit is configured to indicate a respective state of at least one sensor. The measuring station also includes a transmitter/measuring transducer which is configured to operate the at least one sensor and the at least one illumination unit, and to determine in each case a state of at least one sensor.

  • Publication number: 20210033562
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for calibrating an analytical measuring device in a measuring point, wherein the method comprises at least the following steps: closing the inlet valve so that no process medium is fed from the first inlet into the measuring point, emptying the measuring point of the process medium through the outlet valve, closing the outlet valve, feeding a predetermined volume of the calibration medium into the measuring point through the inlet valve from the second inlet, circulating the calibration medium through the pump so that the flow circuit is generated and the calibration medium flows against the analytical measuring device, wherein a predetermined flow velocity of the calibration medium is adjusted by the pump, and calibrating the analytical measuring device.

  • Publication number: 20210033555
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for calibrating an analytical measuring device in a measuring point. The method includes closing the outlet valve so that no process medium is discharged, closing the inlet valve so that no additional process medium is fed into the measuring point and a volume of process medium is in the measuring point, feeding a predetermined volume of the calibration medium into the measuring point, circulating the calibration medium by means of the pump so that the flow circuit is generated and the calibration medium flows against the analytical measuring device, detecting a first measured for a calibration, repeating the steps of feeding the calibration medium into the measuring point, circulating the calibration medium, and detecting a measured value for the calibration, and evaluating the measured values and performing the calibration.

  • Publication number: 20190187089
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for operating an amperometric sensor for detecting measured values of at least one first measurand that represents a concentration of a first analyte in a measuring fluid, and of at least one second measurand which represents a concentration of a second analyte different from the first analyte. The method includes steps of detecting measured values of the first measurand in a first operating mode of the amperometric sensor, switching the amperometric sensor to a second operating mode different from the first operating mode, and detecting measured values of the second measurand in the second operating mode of the amperometric sensor. The method can be used in monitoring the water quality in drinking water installations or drinking water networks.

  • Publication number: 20190120786
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a sensor for measuring a concentration of an ion dissolved in a measuring solution, comprising a plurality of ion-selective electrodes each having a sensitive surface for contact with the measuring solution, wherein the electrodes comprise consumed and unconsumed electrodes, a reference electrode for contact with the measuring solution, wherein a measured value of an electrical voltage between one of the unconsumed electrodes and the reference electrode is a measure of the concentration of the ion dissolved in the measuring solution, and a measuring transducer for determining the measured value of the voltage and for converting the measured value into a concentration of the ion. The measuring transducer has a switching unit to activate an unconsumed electrode and to deactivate all other electrodes, and the sensitive surfaces of unconsumed electrodes each have a cover covering the sensitive surface against the measuring solution in a medium-tight manner.
