Introduction
Two types of calibrations can be performed:
•
•
Maintenance interval
Recommended maintenance intervals for the two types of calibrations:
•
•

Conductivity monitor - factory calibration: Restores the conductivity cell constant
to the factory default value.
Conductivity monitor - user calibration: Calibrates the conductivity cell constant.
Conductivity monitor - factory calibration: Perform calibration to override an incor-
rect user calibration.
Conductivity monitor - user calibration: The conductivity cell is factory calibrated,
and should not require recalibration under normal usage. Perform calibration when
the signal is unstable or you suspect that it is incorrect. It is also recommended to
recalibrate the Conductivity monitor after cleaning.
Action
In the Calibration dialog, in the Monitor to calibrate list, click Conductivity
monitor - factory calibration.
Result: The time for the new calibration and the current value are displayed.
Click Restore.
Result: The conductivity cell constant is restored to the factory default value.
The conductivity cell constant is written on the packaging of the Conductiv-
ity monitor.
