• All subsequent measurements will be compensated to 25°C (77°F).
If you prefer to standardize the temperature compensation to
20°C (68°F) rather than 25°C (77°F), leave the °C knob at 18°C
(if the temperature of your solution is 18°C), adjust the trimmer
to read "11.67 mS" (see the conductivity vs. temperature chart at
page 18). All subsequent measurements will be compensated to
20°C.
• The calibration is now complete and the instrument is ready for
use.
The instrument should be re-calibrated at least once a month, or
when the probe or battery is changed.
Note: For more accurate results, it is advisable to use a calibration
solution close to the range to be measured. See the accessories
section on page 23 for a wide selection of conductivity solu-
tions.
PROCEDURE FOR HI 8633
• Pour sufficient quantity of a conductivity
calibration solution (e.g. HI 7030/
HI 8030) into a beaker to cover the holes
on the probe. If possible, use plastic bea-
kers to minimize any EMC interference.
• Immerse the conductivity probe, making
sure that holes are completely submerged,
and the ChecktempC in the solution.
• Wait for a couple of minutes for thermal
equilibrium to be reached.
• Tap the probe on the bottom, then shake it while rotating to make
sure no air bubbles remain trapped in the sleeve.
• Record the temperature of the HI 7030/HI 8030 buffer solution
from the ChecktempC (e.g. 18°C).
• Switch the instrument on by pressing ON/OFF.
• Press COND/TEMP to display the temperature.
• Adjust the TEMPERATURE knob to display 18°C.
