Installation Qualification

Installation of AquaLab includes placing the instrument on a level surface in a location where the

temperature remains fairly stable. This location should be well away from air conditioner and heater

vents, open windows, outside doors, or other items that may cause rapid temperature fluctuation.

After finding a good location for your AquaLab, plug the power cord to the back of the unit and a

standard AC outlet. The ON/OFF switch is located on the lower right corner of the AquaLab’s back

panel.

Operational Qualification

AquaLab’s operation and performance is verified by measuring specially prepared calibration

standards that have a specific molality and water activity. In order to provide the most accurate

readings, your AquaLab should ideally be allowed a warm-up period of at least 15 minutes after

turning it on. Performance Verification Standards come in four water activity levels: 0.250, 0.500,

0.760, and 1.000 aw. The AquaLab dew point sensor will read each standard within ±0.003aw of

the stated value. The volatiles sensor will read each standard within ±0.015aw of the stated value.
