select ”BNC” "
4) Go to the aquariumcomputer &s pH calibration menu (for reference see manual),
and select pH 7.00 calibration. "
5) In the Alkatronic app now click the 7.0 button.(
Now the Alkatronic will send a signal to your aquarium-(
computer that simulates a ”pH 7.00 signal”.(
When you are sure that your aquariumcomputer(
has received the signal, and it has stabilized (2-3(
minutes), press calibrate on the(
aquariumcomputer. Please refer to your aquariumcomputer’s manual if you do
not know how to perform it’s ph calibration process. If you need any support,
contact the aquariumcomputer's manufacturer. "
6) Go to the aquariumcomputer's pH calibration menu (for reference see manual),
and select pH 10.00 calibration. "
7) In the Alkatronic app, click the 10.0 button. Now the Alkatronic will send a signal
to your aquariumcomputer that simulates a ”pH 10.00 signal”. When you are
sure that your aquariumcomputer has received this signal, and it is stabilized (for
sure, wait 3-5 minutes), press calibrate on the aquariumcomputer. Again,
reference your aquariumcomputer's manual if you need any help with it's ph
calibration process. (
Now, your aquariumcomputer will understand the dKH values that Alkatronic will be
sending."
"
OBS: As the signal from Alkatronic is analogue, and the signal to the third party
aquariumcomputer is rounded to nearest tenth (In Alkatronic we have the resolution
of hundredths) , there could be a small difference between the true value from
Alkatronic and the shown value on the aquariumcomputer by +-0.05dKH( but
mostly within +- 0.02dKH) . Of same reason, that the signal is analogue, you can
sometimes see in the third party aquariumcomputer a small fluctuation of the signal
by 1-2 hundredths. This is normal and depends on how the receiving
aquariumcomputer handles the signal. Anyway, this is not a problem, as you never
make actions based on difference of only hundredths. Please also read chapter
below and using the ”defer” command in for instance the Apex to avoid actions
based on a small sudden fluctuation of these hundredths. Also remember that the
aquariumcomputer can only receive dKH values from 7.00 and upwards, and the
upper limit depends on the aquarium computer's limit to show high pH values. So if
your aquariumcomputer is showing a dKH value very close to 7.00dKH, the true
value could be that or lower. The correct values will of course always be displayed
on the Alkatronic LCD screen and in the Alkatronic app and at our cloud. The
measure range of Alkatronic is between 4.48dKH-15.4dKH. Alkatronic will also of
course perform all of the actions you want it to, independent of what value you have
on your aquariumcomputer. "
Also note that if the Alkatronic is restarted from being powerless, you need to
let the machine make a measure before it can start to send the measurements to the
third party aquariumcomputer or ph-computer. After powering up the Alkatronic and
before a new measurement has been done, the value sent from Alkatronic to the
third party computer is not a true value but will be close to ”7.0”. As long as you
