– Q = Water without detergent (in
l/min)
– V = Predilution of detergent (in %)
If the actual concentration deviates from
the desired concentration, reset knob
and repeat measurement if necessary.
Calculating the predilution of the
detergent in %
If the predilution is not indicated as a
percentage, it can be calculated using
the following table:
