5.4.2 Calibrate the conductivity monitor
Introduction
Two types of calibration can be performed:
•
•
This section gives instructions for both calibration procedures. The instructions apply to
both pre- and post-column conductivity monitors.
Maintenance interval
When to perform the two types of calibrations is as follows:
Calibration type
User calibration
Factory calibration
Required material
The following materials are required:
•

User calibration procedure
Follow the steps below to calibrate the conductivity monitor.
104
Conductivity monitor - user calibration: Calibrates the conductivity cell constant.
Conductivity monitor - factory calibration: Restores the conductivity cell constant
to the factory default value.
When to perform
When the signal is unstable, or when you suspect that the
value is incorrect.
When user calibration fails.
