12.2.3 Temperature Compensation
The slope of a pH sensor (section 12.2.2) is affected by temperature. This
effect is compensated for either by using an Automatic Temperature
Compensation (ATC) sensor or by entering the sample temperature
manually. Figure 12-3 shows the slope of a pH sensor at various
temperatures.

If you need to phone or fax TPS for any further technical assistance, the
version number of your
Aqua-DP
firmware may of benefit to us. Please
obtain the version number before phoning or faxing.
The version number is displayed on the bottom left of the display when
the
Aqua-DP
is switched on. For example…
TPS AQUA-DP
V1.3 S1234
“
V1.3
” in this example is the firmware version number.
“
S1234
” in this example is the instrument’s serial number.
