• The actual measured value flashes on the display and then the beaker icon appears at the bottom
left, indicating that the instrument is calibrated. The instrument automatically returns to measure
mode.
ATTENTION: Before proceeding with the sensor calibration operations, carefully consult the
safety data sheets of the substances involved:
• Redox standard solutions.
• STORAGE solution for ORP electrodes.
• Filling solution for Redox electrodes.
Conductivity Parameter
COND 7 Vio, PC 7 Vio
Connect the Conductivity probe to the BNC type connector marked in grey, while the temperature probe
must be connected to the RCA / CINCH Temp connector always on a grey background.
Conductivity is defined as the ability of the ions contained in a solution to conduct an electric current. This
parameter provides a fast and reliable indication of the quantity of ions present in a solution.
• …how to get Conductivity?
The first Ohm's law expresses the direct proportionality in a conductor between the current intensity (I) and
the applied potential difference (V) while the resistance R represents the proportionality constant.
Specifically: V = R x I, the resistance is consequently R = V / I
Where R=resistance (Ohm) V=voltage (Volt) I=current (Ampere)
The inverse of the resistance is defined as conductance (G) G = 1 / R and is expressed in Siemens (S)
Measuring resistance or conductance requires a measuring cell, which consists of two opposite charge
poles. The reading depends on the geometry of the measuring cell, which is described through the constant
cell parameter C = d / A expressed in cm
-1
where d represents the distance between the two electrodes in
cm and A their surface in cm

. Conductance is transformed into specific Conductivity (k), which is
independent of the cell configuration, multiplying it by the cell constant.
k = G x C is expressed in S / cm even if the units of measurement mS / cm are in common use
(1 S/cm -> 10

mS/cm) and µS/cm (1 S/cm -> 10

µS/cm)
