5-1. Configure sensor

Measuring unit /cm /m

Either /cm or /m can be chosen here. The Proc-

ess values will be expressed in S/cm or S/m

respectively.

Cell constant (factory)

Cell constant given by factory calibration.

Usually given on a label on the sensor or the

calibration certificate.

Measure

Process values to be measured can be se-

lected to suit the user’s preference.: Conduc-

tivity only, Concentration only or one of both

Conductivity and Concentration.

5-2. Temperature setting

Temperature Element

Selection of the temperature sensor used for

compensation. The default selection is the

Pt1000 Ohm sensor, which gives excellent pre-

cision with the two wire connections used. The

other options give the flexibility to use a very

wide range of other conductivity sensors.

Temperature Unit

Celcius or Fahrenheit temperature scales can

be selected to suit the user’s preference.

5-3. Temperature compensation

Compensation

Two types of methods can be used here. Au-

tomatic for use of temperature element. Select

one of the Temperature elements used. The

other is a manual set temperature. The manual

temperature that represents the process tem-

perature must be set here.

Reference Temperature

Choose a temperature to which the measured

conductivity value must be compensated.

Normally 25°C (77ºC) is used, therefore this

temperature is chosen as default value.

Method

TC In addition to the temperature coefficient

calibration routine it is possible to adjust the

compensation factor directly. If the compensa-

tion factor of the sample liquid is known from

laboratory experiments or has been previously

determined, it can be introduced here.

Adjust the value between 0.00 to 3.50 % per

°C. In combination with reference temperature

a linear compensation function is obtained,

suitable for all kinds of chemical solutions.

NaCl Temperature compensation according

NaCl curve. See appendix 1 for values.

Matrix The EXAxt is equipped with a ma-

trix type algorithm for accurate temperature

compensation in various applications. Select

the range as close as possible to the actual

temperature/concentration range. The EXAxt

will compensate by interpolation. If user defined

1 or user defined 2 is selected, the temperature

compensation range for the adjustable matrix

must be defined.

See Appendix 2 for matrix interpolation.

Note! Extra information on temperature

compensation is given in appendix 1.
