The parameter Min. rate
is set too low.
■ Set the parameter Min. rate higher.
■ Reset the Control parameters to default
values.
The results are
spread widely.
The sample is nonhomoge-
nous.
■ Homogenize the sample if possible.
■ Possibly use a larger sample size.
The sample addition is diffi-
cult to reproduce.
■ Observe the instructions in .
The drift fluctuates. ■ Ensure stable drift.

Problem
Cause Remedy
The control point is
not kept stable. The
measured value is at
times too high and
at times too low.
The controller "oscil-
lates".
The control parameters are
unsuitable.
Adjust the control parameters (see chapter
29.7.2, page 356):
■ Reduce the Max. rate and possibly also
the Min. rate.
■ Increase control range.
The stirring is not optimal. Check and optimize efficiency of the stirring.
The arrangement of elec-
trode and buret tip is not
optimum.
Arrange the electrode and buret tip to an opti-
mum (see manual of the instrument).
The cylinder volume of the
exchange/dosing unit
might be too large.
Use an exchange/dosing unit with a smaller
cylinder volume (yields a smaller volume incre-
ment per pulse).
The control point is
not reached for too
long.
The control parameters are
unsuitable.
Adjust the control parameters (see chapter
29.7.2, page 356):
■ Reduce control range.
■ increase Min. rate.
■ increase Max. rate.
