Adaptation of the cell constant
The cell constant adjusted at our factory is a characteristic geometric quantity of the
equipment and influences the calculation of conductivity. However, during operation this
constant can drift, e. g. due to dirt accumulated on the measuring electrode. If the
indicated conductivity value deviates from the measured comparative value you can
correct the measurement result of the transmitter by re-adjusting the cell constant.
Depending on the deviation set code switches 8 or 9 to ON, the cell constant will then
change continuously. Observe the conductivity indication and when the indicated value
agrees with the comparison measurement set the switch back to OFF. Should an
adjustment not be possible remove the transmitter and clean the measuring surface.
To restore the factory setting of the cell constant - e. g. after cleaning the measuring
surface - set code switches 8 and 9 simultaneously to ON. After approx. 1 sec. switch back
to OFF. The factory setting is restored.

Functional Test
Use code switch 10 for performing a functional test. A value is simulated which exceeds
the final control range value and a current output of 20 mA is provided.
