5.3  Temperature Settings  

 

Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC): 

The conductivity value of a sample is affected by temperature. Use ATC feature of 
the monitor to compensate for conductivity changes when the temperature of the 
sample or process liquid fluctuates. Connect a separate temperature probe 
(Pt100/pt1000) to the monitor if an integrated conductivity/Temperature probe is not 
available. 

Manual Temperature Compensation (MTC): 

Set the monitor to MTC (disable ATC) when the temperature of sample or process 
liquid is constant and a temperature probe is not available. If you disable ATC, the 
monitor allows you to set your 

process temperature

  (

P.ºC) 

and 

calibration 

temperature

 (

C.ºC

). This allows calibration at a different temperature other than the 

process temperature. Example: Setting calibration temperature of 25°C lets you 
calibrate using standard solutions at 25°C, even if your process temperature is 
different from 25°C.
