Since temperature effects the conductivity measurement so
profoundly, the usual practice is to reference the conductivity to some
standard temperature. This is typically 25°C but the PC 5000 also
permits the choice at 15°C and 20°C in the Select Temperature
Coefficient.
The CyberScan meter permits you to enter the temperature
coefficient which best suits your sample and use an ATC probe to
automatically temperature compensate back to the chosen reference
temperature. Refer to the Select Temperature Coefficient option in
the Setup menu.
If you do not use an ATC probe or do not enter one of the three
coefficients available in the setup, the meter uses a temperature
coefficient of 0.0% per °C. Under these conditions the meter does not
automatically temperature compensate.
