6.5.2 Calibration/Adjustment Methods
• Automatic: Automatic with standard calibration solution
• Manual: Manual entry of a calibration solution
• Product: Product calibration (calibration with sampling)
• Zero point: Zero point correction
• Installation factor: Entry of an installation factor (with Memosens sensors)
• Data entry: Data entry of premeasured sensors
• Temperature: Temperature probe adjustment
6.5.3 Calibration Mode: Automatic
Automatic Calibration with Standard Calibration Solution
During automatic calibration:, the conductivity sensor is immersed in a standard calibration solution
(NaCl or KCl, set during parameter setting). On the basis of the measured conductance and
temperature, Stratos Multi automatically calculates the cell factor. The temperature dependence of the
calibration solution is accounted for.
Notes on Calibration
• Use only fresh calibration solutions. The used calibration solution must be configured.
• The accuracy of the calibration is crucially dependent on a precise acquisition of the calibration so-
lution temperature. On the basis of the measured or entered temperature, Stratos Multi calculates
the setpoint of the calibration solution from a stored table.
• Note the response time of the temperature probe.
• To determine the exact cell factor, wait for temperature equalization of the temperature probe and
calibration solution before calibration.
Note:
Note during calibration: If the measured conductance or temperature fluctuate greatly, the cali-
bration procedure is aborted after approx. 2 min. Repeat calibration if an error message appears.

When you access calibration, the calibration values selected in the calibration presettings are used.
These settings can still be changed in the Calibration menu. If you do not want to perform calibration,
use the left
softkey
to go back one level and abort the calibration.

calculation of the process variables are applied to the device. When using a Memosens sensors,
the calibration values are saved in the sensor.
