7. Veri cation and Calibration

7. Re-measure the veri cation standard again in normal sampling
mode. It should read the proper value (within ±0.003 a
w
) at a given
temperature for your particular standard (see Appendix B for tem-
peratures other than 25°C ).
Measure the water activity of a second veri cation standard accord-
ing to the veri cation procedure described above. If both veri ca-
tion readings are within ±0.003 a
w
then the instrument is ready to
begin testing.
If you still have incorrect veri cation standard readings after clean-
ing the chamber and adjusting for linear o set, contact Decagon
by email at support@decagon.com or by phone at 509-332-2756
(800-755-2751 in US and Canada) for further instructions. If you
purchased your Decagon instrument from one of our international
distributors, please contact them for local service and support.
