ALTANA LC 2 - Manual (Page 8)

2. System Description The Conductivity Meter LC 2,
ASTM D 5682, is used for the
analysis of liquids of low
conductivity, such as paint
systems. The electrical resistance
or the conductivity are measured
by means of an immersion
measuring cell. Depending on the
selected function, the specific
resistance or the specific
conductivity are automatically
calculated and displayed.
The BYK LC 2 has been designed
with special emphasis on simple
operation and reliability. The
measuring instrument is
independent of mains energy
(battery or accumulator
operation).The measuring cell
consists of two concentrically
arranged electrodes. The size and
shape of the sampler will generally
not influence the result of the
measurement.
The 3 1/2 digit display shows
values from 0.05 to 19.99 M
or
from 19.99 to 0.05 S. An arrow
on the top left of the display
indicates that the measured value
is assigned to the left M
key.
Values >19.99 are displayed as
-.-, values < 0.05 are displayed as
0.0.
Housing and measuring cell are
largely resistant to solvents but
should not be exposed to such
liquids for too long.
The housing parts are glued
together (detachable) and the
screws are secured in the same
manner. Please do not open the
housing as otherwise the
guarantee for the instrument is
extinguished!
