  • Page 14: Measurement

    Instruction Manual CON 510 MEASUREMENT The CON 510 bench meter measures up to 5 different measurement ranges with auto-ranging capability which automatically detects and promptly switches to the appropriate range. The meter also allows measurements to be taken with automatic or manual temperature compensation. The factory default is ATC on. ATC basically compensates for any temperature variances of measured sample solution temperature automatically from the normalization temperature set.
  • Page 15: Manual Temperature Compensation

    Instruction Manual CON 510 Manual Temperature Compensation NOTE: For manual temperature compensation, you must deactivate the ATC mode to ‘nO’ as shown in SETUP sub- menu P3.3. 5.2.1 Setting a manual temperature compensation value To set manual temperature compensation value, you need to determine and enter the desired temperature value into the meter.
