Instruction Manual 16 CON 11/110 CALIBRATION TIPS You only need one calibration for measurement throughout the entire range of the meter. If a range was not calibrated, the meter automatically detects the closest range calibrated and uses that calibration information. However, only the ranges that were calibrated have maximum accuracy.
Instruction Manual 18 CON 11/110 CALCULATING TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENTS To determine the temperature coefficient of your sample solution use this formula: Where: tc = Temperature coefficient 25 = 25 °C CT1 = Conductivity at Temp 1 CT2 = Conductivity at Temp 2 T1 = Temp 1 T2 = Temp 2 NOTE: A controlled temperature water bath is ideal for this procedure 1.
