1810 Conductivity and pH Monitor
Temperature Compensation Coefficient
For increased conductivity accuracy, the VERITY® 1810 Conductivity and pH Monitor includes the ability to
set a conductivity temperature compensation coefficient. Use the Set Temperature Compensation command
in Gilson Ethernet Utility. The temperature compensation coefficient varies by solution and by temperature.
By default, a 2% temperature compensation coefficient (Temperature Compensation = 0.02) is used by the
VERITY® 1810 Conductivity and pH Monitor.
To set a temperature compensation coefficient, use of the Gilson Ethernet Utility and the GEARS Application
is required. The Gilson VERITY 1810 Conductivity and pH Monitor GEARS Plugins must be installed.
To set a temperature compensation coefficient:
1. Install the Gilson Ethernet Utility. Refer to its documentation, if necessary.
2. Start the Gilson Ethernet Utility.
a. To start the Gilson Ethernet Utility, click the
Start
button and then select
All Programs > Gilson Applications > Utilities > Gilson Ethernet Utility
.
b. When starting the Gilson Ethernet Utility, the Windows Firewall may block some features of the
program. Click
Allow access
to use the Gilson Ethernet Utility.
3. Check that the Gilson VERITY 1810 Conductivity and pH Monitor GEARS Plugins is installed
(
Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features
). It is installed with TRILUTION® LC v3.0 with Service Pack 6
(or higher) and is required to communicate with the monitor.
4. Start the GEARS Application. The GEARS Application allows the Gilson Ethernet Utility to
communicate with some Gilson USB instruments, and must be running to communicate with the
VERITY® 1810 Conductivity and pH Monitor. When running, the GEARS Application appears as an
icon ( ) in the Windows system tray. To start the GEARS Application, do either of the following:
●
Start TRILUTION software.
●
Click the Start button, and then select
All Programs > Gilson Applications > Utilities > GEARS > GEARS Application
.
Wait briefly for GEARS to detect the instrument.
5. In the Gilson Ethernet Utility, select
VERITY 1810 Conductivity and pH Monitor
from the list, and then click
Connect
.
6. Select the
Set Temperature Compensation
command.
7. Enter a coefficient value for the
Temperature Compensation
property.
8. Click
Go
