Dosing ALK with the KH Director

[buck27]

So I got my KH Director setup, testing, and doing what it is supposed to do. I added baking soda to the alk container for raising my alk but I haven't seen it do anything as of yet. I have the params set on the doser so that it will raise the alk if it goes below 8 and not above 10. I added the params of 1ml, no less no more than 5ml. The test ran but the doser never came on to raise the alk and my alk is 6.8 dKh.

Any help is appreciated.

Adjusted doses are applied to the next scheduled dose. For example, if your KHD determines an adjustment is necessary, it will apply that to the next dose. It will not add a whole new dose event.

Ok, I have it set up as the below screen shot, just not sure its enough considering I'm 3 reading in and have gone from 6.9 to 7.8 so far.

Is there a thread that will help explain how to set auto kh dosing via the results?

I taken a look and it’s not exactly straight forward IMO

There is a how-to article in the Knowledge Base which explains how KHD control is setup:
