Information about themeasuring range | The actual slope of a sensor can vary production-related between 65% and 150% of the nominal slope Note: With a slope > 100% the measuring range is reduced accordingly. (Ex.: 150% slope → 67% of the specified measuring range) | |
Accuracy after calibration at repeatability conditions (25°C, pH 7.2 in drinking water) of the upper full scale | - Measuring range 2 mg/l: at 0.4 mg/l <2% at 1.6 mg/l <2% - Measuring range 20 mg/l: at 4 mg/l <1% at 16 mg/l <3% | |

CP4.0 (digital output, digital internal signal processing)
- The power supply is galvanically isolated inside of the sensor.
- The output signal is galvanically isolated too, that means potential-free.
