If the factor is outside the valid range (0.9...1.1), the bit value determined cannot be written to EEPROM. In this case please contact the manufacturer. 13.4.5 Notes IMPORTANT: The current factor cannot and must not be determined before the current offsets have been determined. DeguDent SOLARIS Service Manual...
IMPORTANT: The voltage offset cannot and must not be calibrated before the current offsets (Sections 13.4 and 13.4.2) and current factors (Chapters 13.4.3 and 13.4.4) have been determined. The display backlight must be off during calibration. DeguDent SOLARIS Service Manual...
The reference may not be calibrated until the measured closed-circuit current at the reference cathode at the 10 bit default value is > 80µA. The display backlight must be off during calibration. Calibration will not take effect until the unit has been cycled off and on. DeguDent SOLARIS Service Manual...
13.7.3 Notes IMPORTANT: The correction factors cannot and must not be determined before the current offsets have been determined. To reset the unit properly, it must be turned off at the end of the calibration procedure. DeguDent SOLARIS Service Manual...
