Safety Function Check Mode (HOLD Function) After activating configuration, calibration, or service, Stratos Pro enters function check mode (HOLD). The current outputs respond in accordance with the configuration. Operations must not be carried out while Stratos Pro is in function check (HOLD) mode, as the system may behave unexpectedly and put users at risk.

Configuration Sensor Verification (TAG, GROUP) When Memosens sensors are calibrated in the lab, it is often useful and sometimes even mandatory that these sensors will be operated again at the same measuring points or at a defined group of measuring points. To ensure this, you can save the respective measuring point (TAG) or group of measuring points (GROUP) in the sensor.
Digital Sensors Operation Stratos Pro can be operated with digital Memosens sensors. Remove the analog measuring module before connecting a Memosens sensor. The sensor type is selected during Configuration. The device only switches to measuring mode when the connected sensor corresponds to the type configured (Sensoface is friendly). The Memosens logo appears on the screen.

USP Function According to the “USP” directive (U.S.Pharmacopeia), Section 645 “Water Conductivity” the conductivity of pharmaceutical waters can be monitored online. To do so, the conductivity is measured without temperature compensation and is compared with limit values (see table on next page). The water is usable when the conductivity is below the USP limit.
