Temperature probe Measurements can be performed with and without a temper-

ature probe. A connected temperature probe is indicated by
TP on the display.
If you want to use a WTW conductivity measuring cell with-
out a temperature probe, you have to connect it with an
adapter (available at WTW).

Note
The conductivity meter automatically recognizes the type of
the temperature probe used. As a result, you can connect
electrodes with the NTC30 or Pt1000.

4.3 Determining/setting up the cell constant [C]

Why determine/set Due to ageing, the cell constant slightly changes. As a
up the cell result, an inexact measured value is displayed. Calibration
constant? determines the current value of the cell constant and stores
this value in the instrument.
Thus, you should calibrate at regular intervals.

You can determine the cell constant of the conductivity mea-

suring cell in the range 0.450 ... 0.500 cm-1 or
0.800 ... 1.200 cm-1 by calibrating in the control standard or
set it up manually in the range 0.250... 2.500 cm-1or
0,090 ... 0,110 cm-1.
Additionally, you can select the fixed cell constant
0.010 cm-1.

4.6 Data transmission

You can use the following options to transmit data:

 One of the following options:

– The AutoStore function (page 38) is used to
periodically (Int 1 storage interval) save measured
values internally and output them on the printer/
interface.
– The data transmission interval (Int 2) function is used to
periodically output measured values to the printer/
interface (see below).
 The Output data store function (page 40) is used to output
calibration data and stored measured values to the
printer/interface.
 The analog recorder output (page 49) is used to output
measured values as voltages.

4.6.1 Data transmission interval (Int 2)

The interval for the data transmission (Int 2) determines the
time interval between automatic data transmissions. After
the time interval expires, the current data record is transmit-
ted to the printer/interface.

this way, this procedure ensures the highest degree of pre-
cision and reproducibility.

Calibration The cell constant is determined through calibration. To do

so, the conductivity measuring cell is immersed into a series
of aqueous salt solutions with exactly known electric con-
ductivity. The relevant conductivity values are determined
using the conductivity measuring instrument.

Cell constant Linear factor describing the geometrical dimensions of a

measuring cell and its electrodes.

 With the value of the cell constant you can roughly descri-
be the application range of a conductivity measuring cell.
 The cell constant is determined through calibration in one
or several calibration solutions.

Conductivity The conductivity value is a sum parameter for the ion con-
centration of a test sample.

Control standard Solution with a known conductivity to determine or check the

solution conductivity.

Drift control See AUTOREAD.

Reference In order to compare values measured at different tempera-

temperature tures, the values have to be converted to a fixed tempera-
ture. This temperature is 25 °C, or, as an exception, 20 °C.

Resistance All substances (solids, liquids, or gases) with mobile charge

carriers like for example electrons or ions have a finite ohmic
resistance, which means they have an electric conductance
that can be measured or an electric conducitivtiy.

Salinity The salinity is a sum parameter especially for seawater;

it gives the salt content of seawater.

Temperature The temperature has a very strong impact on the electrical

compensation (TC) conductivity. To be able to compare measured values, it is
necessary to temper or convert the test sample to a refer-
ence temperature.

Test sample The sample to be measured. It can be liquid or solid.

Total dissolved Mass that remains of the substances dissolved in an aque-

solids (TDS) ous solution after a fixed filtering and drying procedure, as
far as these substances are not volatile under the conditions
of this procedure. The total dissolved solids refer to the vol-
ume of the filtered aqueous sample used und are given in
mg/l.
