900 Touch Control

Metal electrodes

Ion-selective electrodes

A check is made that the electrode is properly connected and that no
short-circuit is present. The electrode check is carried out when this com-
mand is started. Note that this electrode check has nothing to do with the
electrode test (command ELT).

Temp. measurement

Type of temperature measurement.

Selection

continuous | automatic | off

Default value

Stirring rate

Setting the stirring rate. It can be set in steps of –15 to +15. The default
setting 8 corresponds to 1000 rpm. The formula for calculating the rota-
tional speed is specified in chapter 32.3, page 489. The optimum stirring
rate can be tested in the manual control.

The algebraic sign of the stirring rate changes the direction in which the
stirring is done. When the stirrer is viewed from above, this means:

"+": counterclockwise rotation
