9.3.3 Determining the cell constant (calibration in control standard)
You can determine the actual cell constant of the IDS conductivity sensor by
calibrating with the control standard in the following range:
0.450 ... 0.500 cm
-1
(e.g. TetraCon 925, nominal cell constant 0.475 cm
-1
)
The cell constant is determined in the control standard, 0.01 mol/l KCl.
In the default condition, the calibrated cell constant of the IDS sensor is set to
0.475 cm
-1
(IDS conductivity sensor TetraCon 925).
For this calibration procedure, the Type setting must be set to cal. Proceed as
follows to determine the cell constant:
1. Connect the conductivity sensor to the meter.
2. In the measured value display, select the conductivity parameter with
<M>.
3. Start the calibration with <CAL>.
The cell constant that was calibrated last is displayed.
4. Immerse the conductivity sensor in the control standard solution,
0.01 mol/l KCI.
5. Start the measurement with <ENTER>.
The measured value is checked for stability (stability control).
The [AR] status indicator is displayed. The measured parameter
flashes.
6. Wait for the end of the measurement with stability control or accept the
calibration value with <ENTER>.
The calibration record is displayed and output to the interface.
7. Switch to the measured value display with <ENTER>.
