3.3 Calibration Notes
1.
A Zero calibration should be performed at least monthly. In low conductivity
applications (where a zero error is particularly significant), a zero calibration
may have to be done weekly.
2.
A Standard calibration should be performed at least weekly. Of course, more
frequent calibration will result in greater confidence in results.
3.
Conductivity and Salinity calibration data are stored separately in memory.
Ensure that the
WP-84
has been correctly calibrated for the mode in which it
will be used. The
WP-84
does not require re-calibration when alternating
between Conductivity and Salinity modes, providing the instrument has been
correctly calibrated for both.
4.
All calibration information is retained in memory when the
WP-84
is switched
off, even when the battery is removed. This information can be recalled or
printed later using the GLP function (see section 7).
5.
The
WP-84
displays the value of the standard to which it will attempt to
calibrate. Ensure that the standard value displayed corresponds to the standard
that you are using.
6.
If the
WP-84
does not recognise the standard, it will display the message “
NOT
STD
” during calibration. Calibration will fail if this message is displayed.
3.4 Calibration Messages
1.
If a Zero calibration has been successfully performed, the
WP-84
will display
the following message and the zero value of the sensor. For example…
Calibrate OK
Zero= 0.00 uS
2.
If a Standard calibration has been successfully performed, the
WP-84
will
display the following message and the k factor of the sensor. For example…
Calibrate OK
k=1.00
3.
If a Standard calibration has failed, the
WP-84
will display the following
message and the failed k factor of the sensor. For example…
Calibrate fail
k=1.50
