1.4Automatic sensor recognition
The automatic sensor recognition for IDS sensors allows
to operate an IDS sensor at different meters without recalibration
to operate different IDS sensors at one meter without recalibration
to assign measurement data to an IDS sensor
– Measurement datasets are always stored and output with the
sensor name and sensor series number.
to assign calibration data to an IDS sensor
– Calibration data and calibration history are always stored and
output with the sensor name and sensor series number.
to activate the correct cell constant for conductivity sensors auto-
matically
to hide menus automatically that do not concern this sensor
To be able to use the automatic sensor recognition, a meter that supports the automatic sensor recognition (e.g. HandyLab 680) and a digital IDS sensor are required.
In digital IDS sensors, sensor data are stored that clearly identify the
sensor.
The sensor data are automatically taken over by the meter.

guaranteed under the environmental conditions that are specified in
chapter 7 T
ECHNICALDATA.
If the meter was transported from a cold environment to a warm environment, the formation of condensate can lead to the faulty functioning
of the meter. In this event, wait until the temperature of the meter
reaches room temperature before putting the meter back into operation.
CAUTION
The meter is only allowed to be opened by authorized personnel.

Safe operation is no longer possible if the meter:
has been damaged in transport
has been stored under adverse conditions for a lengthy period of
time
is visibly damaged
no longer operates as described in this manual.
If you are in any doubt, please contact the supplier of the meter.
Obligations of the
purchaser
The purchaser of this meter must ensure that the following laws and
guidelines are observed when using dangerous substances:
EEC directives for protective labor legislation
National protective labor legislation
Safety regulations
