Appendix D - 2 9782 Series Conductivity/Resistivity Analyzer/Controller - Operator’s Manual 7/99
Example 1: To determine the check resistor value needed to simulate conductivity measurement
of 10 µS, use cell constant 0.1 and perform the following calculation:
10 k ohms = (0.1) x (1,000,000)
10
Example 2: To determine the check resistor value needed to simulate resistivity measurement of
10 M ohms, use cell constant 0.01 and perform the following calculation:
100 K ohms = (0.01) x (10,000,000)
Concentration values
If a wide range model is used for concentration measurement, obtain the appropriate check
resistance value from the table below.
