5-16 Parameter setting
5-3-3. Temperature compensation functions
Code 20 *T.R.°C Choose a temperature to which the measured conductivity (or resistivity) value
must be compensated to. Normally 25°C is used, therefore this temperature is
chosen as default value. Limitations for this setting are: 0 to 100 °C.
If *T.UNIT in code 11 is set to °F, default value is 77°F and the limitations are
32 - 212°F.
Code 21 *T.C.1/T.C.2 In addition to the procedure described in section 5-2-5 it is possible to adjust
the compensation factor directly. If the compensation factor of the sample liquid
is known from laboratory experiments or has been previously determined, it
can be introduced here, for sensor 1 and/or sensor 2.
Adjust the value between 0.00 to 3.50 % per °C. In combination with reference
temperature setting in code 20 a linear compensation function is obtained,
suitable when enabled as in section 5-2-6 the matrix may be selected for each
sensor input for all kinds of chemical solutions.
Code 22 *MATRX The EXA is equipped with a matrix type algorithm for both inputs, accurate
temperature compensation in various applications. Select the range as close
as possible to the actual temperature/concentration range. The EXA will
compensate by interpolation and extrapolation. Consequently, there is no need
for a 100% coverage.
If 9 is selected the temperature compensation range for the adjustable matrix
must be configured in code 23. Next the specific conductivity values at the
different temperatures must be entered in codes 24 to 28. See section 5-2-6 for
how to enable MATRIX compensation.
Code 23 *T1, *T2, *T3, Set the matrix compensation range. It is not necessary to enter equal
*T4 & *T5 °C temperature steps, but the values should increase from T1 to T5, otherwise
the entry will be rejected. Example: 0, 10, 30, 60 and 100 °C are valid values
for the T1....T5. The minimum span for the range (T5 - T1) is 25 °C.
Code 24-28 *L1xT1 - In these access codes the specific conductivity values can be entered for
*L5xT5 5 different concentrations of the process liquid; each one in one specific access
code (24 to 28). The table below shows a matrix entering example for 1 - 15%
NaOH solution for a temperature range from 0 - 100 °C.
Notes:
1. In chapter 10 a table is included to record your programmed values. It will make programming easy
for duplicate systems or in case of data loss.
2. Each matrix column has to increase in conductivity value.
3. Error code E4 occurs when two standard solutions have identical conductivity values at the same
temperature within the temperature range.
