6. ATC Coefficient
The Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC) Coefficient is the rate at which
the WP84 compensates for temperature effects on the Conductivity of the solution.
The following all affect the ATC Coefficient of a solution…
•
The type of salts dissolved in the solution.
•
The concentration of the salts dissolved in the solution.
•
The temperature of the solution.
It is therefore impossible to set a single ATC Coefficient in the factor which will
be correct for all solutions which the
WP-84
will be used to test.
The ATC Coefficient is set to 2.0 %/
O
C in the factory. This figure is suitable for
environmental waters whose predominant dissolved salt is Sodium Chloride at
moderate concentrations, being measured between approximately 15 and 30
O
C.
6.1 Setting the ATC Coefficient
1.
Select the ATC entry screen (

Use the
and
keys to scroll to the desired ATC Coefficient setting. The
available range is 0.0 to 4.0 %/
O
C.
3.
Press
to store the new setting.
Press
to quit and retain the current setting.
Note
The ATC Coefficient should remain set to 2.0 %/
O
C during calibration, otherwise
the accuracy of sample readings will be lost.
