Conductivity calibration

CAUTION
Potential puncture hazard! Contact with the exposed needle could cause serious
injury. Use extreme care when installing and removing the sample bottles.
Conductivity calibration ensures the accuracy of the conductivity values reported by the
PAT700 TOC analyzer. A conductivity calibration consists of verifying the conductivity meter
using a precision resistor. The cell constant is adjusted to the value of the conductivity
standard, and therefore is always within ±2%. If the new calibration is greater than ±10% of
the factory calibration or ±5% of the previous user calibration, the calibration is unacceptable
and a new calibration is required.

• Checkmark icon returns you to the beginning of the test. All previous data are
discarded.
• Cancel icon takes you to the unload/replace bottles dialog box.
Allow the conductivity calibration standard to warm to room temperature.
At the home screen, touch the << icon to open the sliding toolbar.
Touch the setup icon.
Touch the bottles icon, then touch the conductivity calibration tab.
Make sure a checkmark appears in the use calibration resistor checkbox. If a
checkmark is not present, touch the checkbox to enable use of the calibration
resistor.
