Yes, I have the KH Director. Part of my problem is that I sometimes have a hard time remembering what I did 2 years ago!The REFERENCE reservoirs should be set to the size of the bottles.
For the SAMPLE (i.e. the one that goes in the tank) there is a check box to turn off level monitoring and you will want to do that.
Do you have a KHD? I'm not sure that GHL has made videos for the Ion D yet, but the videos for the KHD setup are very good and it runs through exactly how to calibrate/set up the pumps etc. If you aren't familiar with the KHD then those videos might be useful as the KHD setup looks quite similar.
Don't let my struggles deter you. I'm an "old-timer" that struggles with computer technology. But, eventually even I "get it" ..... so if I can figure it out, anybody can! Once everything is up and running, I love GHL and will never regret making the choice to go with it!But...... They are certainly a lot more simple and cheaper than dealing with said IOND.
Nothing these days needs to be this complicated. About now I'm kinda glad they cancelled mine.
I have the P4, two Mitras LX7's and two light bars.
What I don't have is the time and patience to deal with how GHL makes things so frustrating to set up and update everything.

With the Ion Director, I believe I initially set the volumes too low (at 120 ml and 20 ml warning) because I'm using 100 ml bottles. (I think those low volumes are not acceptable?)
I could get slightly larger bottles, but I may run it every 5-7 days so refilling the bottles once a month isn't a problem.Do you not have space for bigger bottles?
The manual states that the IOND will not start a test unless there is 30ml of each reference liquid available. In normal mode it uses 9ml per test and in high precision mode it uses 13ml per test.
That means with a 100ml bottle you will only get 7 tests in normal mode, or 5 tests in high precision mode, before you would have to refill the bottles.
I’m confused by this post. So you don’t have one, but the non-existent piece of equipment is somehow off from your Hanna testers (which themselves have precision and accuracy issues, like all tests). For what it’s worth, I have two IOD. I posted a comparison test to between them and to various test kits (Hanna and salifert mainly) in my thread. Go check it out. They values are pretty similar. Nitrate is one that is always different l, but less so than the manual kits I have. ( have three nitrate test kits and they all give very different results to each other).I wanted the IOND because I really thought that I wanted to do away with my Hanna testers.....
They are far from perfect. They are all off by a certain margin but I know by how much each one is off by. The Alk tester went through some serious reagent problems a while back
But...... They are certainly a lot more simple and cheaper than dealing with said IOND.

Two year wait and two weeks of frustration to get it to work.
Kinda takes the fun out of it.
Well...I'm not technology challenged. I actually build my own computers.Don't let my struggles deter you. I'm an "old-timer" that struggles with computer technology.

Well...I'm not technology challenged. I actually build my own computers.
But GHL software frustrates the heck out of me.
I don't care for GHL's support system and the whole release of the IOND has left me with almost complete disdain for GHL as a company.
Now..... Before people start arguing the part with me I'll say this:
it is my right and my choice to spend my $ with who I want and who I feel deserves my $.
A company that is thankful and supports their customers I'll buy from.
Say what you want. I'll continue to beat that horse.
Yes, I entered the sample tube volume.I don’t have a IOND so take this for what it’s worth, but looking at the manual this looks like one area where the IOND differs from the KHD. From what I can gather, the sample water pump flushes the sample tube by taking water in through the inlet on the front of the IOND, and then pushes it out the outlet on the back of the unit.
Are you getting fluid pumped out of the back of the unit? If not, then it could be that the sensor is dry (hence the poor sensor performance error).
I assume you have entered the ‘sample tube volume’ into the software?
Have you switch the in and outlet? The left side of the pump head should be the intake side and when you empty measure cells completely - it is the intake that should be free for air coming in.the 3 intake tubes need to be removed so it sucks in air.
My understanding for priming is to just be sure the entire tube (before and after the pump) is filled with fluid (and no air bubbles). I then attach it to the Ion Director. It seems that you are priming it while attached to the Ion Director, right??Have you switch the in and outlet? No
When I prime the three pumps - I do like this. I start with calibration B - prime till I see reagent coming out from the waste pipe. I do it the prime manually. When priming reagent A - I will first see liquid (old calibration B) coming out - after that air and finally comes calibration A out in the waste. After this - I prime the sample pump. Because there is some air that can be trapped in the filter i run pump for rather many minutes in order to be sure that there will come no air into the sample chamber. Last step - run preparing measure cells. If it first time - I wait at least 12 hours - otherwise I start a manual test.

Yes. That part is easy. Except not much happened when I clicked "Prepare measurement cell". I'll wait for Vinny to get back to me. Probably have to send it back.The method from the manual is:
Prime the lines without them connected to the IOND.
Once everything is up and running and ready to go, clicking ‘prepare measurement cell’ will prime all of the IOND internal lines.
And you definitely have the lines connected as per this picture?
