  • Page 9: Introduction

    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.

  • Page 24: Operation And Maintenance

    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.
