Red = terminal 22
Green = terminal 19
Blue = terminal 18 – In addition connect screen to the earth stud and link terminals 18 and 19
Note.
To select the most suitable cell constant for the desired working range use the following criteria:
Minimum range 10 x cell constant
Maximum range 10,000 x cell constant
e.g. cell constant k = 0.1 Minimum range = 10 x 0.1 = 1.00µS/cm
Maximum range = 10,000 x 0.1 = 1000µS/cm
For ultrapure water applications (less than 1.00µS/cm) a cell constant of 0.05 or 0.1 must be used.
