PER 1-mA-200 ppm) is used as working electrode, a silver halide-
coated anode is used as counter and reference electrode.
The H
O
contained in the sample water diffuses through the dia-

phragm. The constant polarisation voltage between the two elec-
trodes causes the electrochemical reaction of the H
collector. The resulting current is measured as a primary signal
(amperometric measurement principle). This is proportional to the
concentration of H
electronic amplifier within the sensor converts the primary signal into
a temperature-compensated 4-20 mA output signal, which is
displayed at the DULCOMETER
