Orion Star A222 and Star A322 Portable Conductivity Meters

7

Nominal Cell Constant Entry

The nominal cell constant value is used during an automatic conductivity calibration and allows the meter to 
determine which Thermo Scientific Orion conductivity standard is being used for the calibration. 

1.  In the measurement mode, press 

2. Press 

 or 

 to highlight 

COND Channel

 and press 

f3 (select)

.

3. Press 

 or

.

5. Press 

f3 (select)

 to access the numeric entry screen and enter the nominal cell constant of the conductivity cell. 

a. Press 

 or 

 to highlight a number or decimal point, press 

f3 (enter)

 to 

select the highlighted item and repeat until the nominal cell constant value is shown. 

b. Press 

f2 (done)

 to exit the numeric entry screen. 

6. Press 

f1 (back)

 and then press 

 to return to the measurement mode.

Reference Temperature Selection

The reference temperature is the temperature that all conductivity measurements will be reported at by the meter 
if temperature compensation is enabled. 

1.  In the measurement mode, press 

2. Press 

 or 

 to highlight 

COND Channel

 and press 

f3 (select)

6. Press 

 to return to the measurement mode.

Temperature Compensation Selection

The temperature compensation can be turned off or set to Linear, nLFn (non-linear ultra pure non-degassed 
water), nLFu (non-linear ultra pure degassed water) or EP (temperature compensation off and warning is displayed 
if conductivity values are outside EP requirements for ultra pure water) and is used to report all conductivity 
measurements at the selected reference temperature.
