If there is a deviation between the indicated conductivity and the measured comparison value,
check and change the temperature coefficient T
k
setting. See page 20 for procedure and setting
values.
Only modify the cell constant if the temperature coefficient setting is
no longer
sufficient for
correct compensation.
Correcting the measured value
Operation
Adjusting the cell constant
The factory-set cell constant is a geometric characteristic of the equipment used for calculating
conductivity. However, this constant may change over time, e.g. due to dirt deposits.
Depending on the deviation, set code switch 8 or 9 briefly to ON and then to OFF again.
Repeat this step until the indicated value matches the measured comparison value.
If the conductivity transmitter and conductivity controller are physically separated from one another,
measure the current at the transmitter or have a second person perform the adjustment.
If adjustment is no longer possible, remove the transmitter and clean the measuring surface and/or
electrodes.
Note
Repeat the
cell constant adjustment
procedure until the indicated conductivity matches
the measured comparison value. The cell constant can be reset to its default value. To
do so, set code switches 8 and 9 simultaneously to ON then back to OFF after approx. 1
second.
