Operating Instructions CORREX
The following parts are needed for installation:
1. Titanium anode with screw fitting G
2. Connecting cable (chapter 1.2, scope of supply (3))
3. Plug-in potentiostat
7.1.3 Installation of the CORREX
1. Empty the storage tank, if necessary.
2. For retrofitting, remove the old protective (Mg) anode, if any.
3. Screw the titanium anode with preassembled screw fitting (1) down into the
threaded sleeve of the storage tank until it is pressure-tight.
Note: The screw fitting is equipped with a PTFE sealing. When this sealing is
damaged, for instance, after having been screwed down repeatedly, the joint
must be resealed with sealing material for threads like hemp or PTFE ribbon.
4. Fix the spade terminal (7) for the cable labelled ‚connection ground tank'
under the earthing screw (8) of the tank. If the tank has no earthing screw,
the ground contact must be established by other reliable means.
Without a perfectly conducting galvanic connection, the CORREX
system cannot perform its function.
5. Push the receptacle at the tank end of the connecting cable (4) on the tab
(5) at the toothed disk of the anode (6).
6. Push the two-pole connector at the other end of the connecting cable on
the connectors in the opening (10) of the plug-in potentiostat. Point the
guide lug upwards; this orientation is the only way to fix the two-pole plug
in the housing of the plug-in potentiostat without using force.
7. Fill the storage tank with water and check for leaks.
8. Observe the pilot lamp in the plug-in housing.
9. Required function check: The correct polarity must be checked by
measuring magnitude and sign of the drive potential applied with a DC-
voltmeter (e.g. digital multimeter or CorroScout
instrument must be set to the 20 V DC range, the negative probe of the
instrument connected to the tank and the positive probe to the titanium
anode. The drive potential applied must be U > +2.3 V DC. Observe the ‚+'
sign. For this measurement, the tank must be filled with water and the plug-
in potentiostat connected.
Note: The CORREX
tank has been filled with water.
The pilot lamp on top (11a) lit up green: mains supply established and
