The IC Conductivity Detector MB can only be used together with the IC instrument. The MagIC Net software detects the IC Conductivity Detec- tor MB automatically and checks its functional readiness. It controls and monitors all instruments connected together, evaluates the measured data and manages it in a database.

4 Start-up 4 Start-up The IC Conductivity Detector MB is put into operation together with the IC instrument in which it has been inserted to. Additional information can be found in the Start-up chapter in the manual for the IC instrument.
The status of the detector cell can be determined from the cell constant. The detector is supplied with a cell constant determination. NOTICE Metrohm recommends having the cell constant re-determined annually by the regional Metrohm service representative. CAUTION The conductivity detector must not be opened! The conductivity detector is maintenance-free to a large extent.
