IMPORTANT
• Handle the calibration solution with extreme care. Adequate
accuracy will not otherwise be achieved.
• Ensure cleanliness and avoid carry-over or evaporation of the
liquid (evaporation even after 20 min. can be too much).
Dismantle the sensor from the tubing
Wipe deposits off the sensor and rinse
then rinse the sensor with deionised water until the displayed
conductivity value is less than 20 µS/cm
Dry the sensor thoroughly (including inside the bore of the sensor
tip)
Place the sensor in a clean standard glass beaker along with the
calibration solution
Stir with the sensor until the air bubbles have been expelled from
the bore and the displayed conductivity value on the
®
DULCOMETER D1C is stable
Fix the sensor in the centre of the beaker so that the sensor tip is
at least 10 mm from the glass in all directions (preferably 20 mm).
The sensor tip must be immersed at least 10 mm (top edge of
sensor tip).
Wait 20 min. until the temperature has equalised between the
sensor and calibration solution (1 °C temperature deviation equals
approx. 2 % measurement error)
Set the temperature coefficient α at the DULCOMETER
the value specified by the manufacturer for the calibration solution
(e.g. approx. 1.86 %/K for KCI solutions around 25 °C)
Select "install. factor setting?" in the setting menu, note the set
installation factor and then set to 1.00
Select the first menu option in the "calibration cc" setting menu
and press Enter
Press Enter when the measured value under "LF" is stable
"please wait!" appears for a few seconds, then the

DULCOMETER D1C displays the current calculated cell constant
The new cell constant is accepted when you press Enter to exit
the last menu option ("calibration cc: - cc = ..."). Exit this menu
option with the back key if you do not want to accept the new cell
constant.
