8.4.2.2 Temperature Coefficient
The temperature coefficient Tkα indicates the temperature dependency of the
conductivity of a specific medium. The reference temperature is 20°C. The permitted
values are between 0.00 %/C and 5.00 %/C.
NOTE
1. The access into the MEAS. PARAMETER SETTINGS is done as described in
chapter: 8.1.
2. By pressing the „Enter-Key ↵" you switch to level: INSTALLATION FACTOR
If in the level INSTALLATION FACTOR no changes are desired, then it can be skipped
by pressing the „NEXT-Key" to go directly to TEMP.COEFF.
Enter the first of the three digits by pressing this
Then press Enter-Key ↵. Then the second field will flash.
The following two digits are to be entered analogous.
Press the NEXT-KEY.
The display changes to MEASUREMENT PARAMETER SETTINGS.
If in the level TEMP.COEFF. no changes are desired, then it can be skipped by pressing
the „NEXT-Key" to go directly into MEASUREMENT PARAMETER SETTINGS.

A precise measurement is substantially dependent of a precisely set temperature
coefficient. If the precise temperature coefficient of a specific medium is unknown, it
can be calculated by using the following scheme.
α
•
Set Tk
to 0
•
Bring the medium that is to be measured to a reference temperature of 20 °C
•
Note conductivity
•
Bring the medium that is to be measured to an operational temperature
•
Note conductivity
