 FUNCTIONALITY
The MicroChem® display is a touch screen display. After the boot,
the first image displayed is the De Nora Water Technologies logo
with the name of the instrument.

After few seconds, it shows the instantaneous value of the

parameter measured by the analog board installed, its
identification symbol and the temperature of the sampled liquid.
Here is an example of the standard one-channel display:

• Header Window

The Header Window is anchored at the top of the LCD area and displays:
• Current screen title;
• Installed analog boards icons;

to the pH measurement.
On the top right, it is shown the last calibration date.

When the Calibration button is pressed, the Keypad appears 00 : 00 00/00/00

to input the new value.

210.6555.0 8
Directly after entering a new calibration value –
this screen will be displayed. The slope value is calculated
between the high + low calibration values.

The slope between the calibration points must always be a

positive value. If the calibration slope is negative – this
screen will be shown and the new calibration is not saved.

If the calibration values or raw output from the measure cell

is too small – an error message is displayed and the calibration
will not be saved.

transmitter manufacturer;
d = recommended separation distance in meters.

 Guidance and manufacturer's declaration – electromagnetic immunity (continue)
NOTE1: At 80MHz and 800MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption from structures,
objects and people.

a) Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios,
amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the
electromagnetic environment due to fixed transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. IF the measured field
strength in the local in which the MicroChem® is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the MicroChem® should
be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-
orienting or relocating the MicroChem®.

b) Over the frequency range 150kHz to 80Mhz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.

Recommended separation distances between portable RF communication equipment and MicroChem®

The MicroChem® is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled.
The customer or the user of the MicroChem® can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum
distance between portable and mobile RF communication equipment (transmitters) and the MicroChem® as recommended
below, according to the maximum output power of the communication equipment.

For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended separation distance in meters (m) can be
estimated using the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter, where P is the maximum output power rating of the
transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer.
NOTE1: At 80MHz and 800 Mhz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from
structures, objects and people.
