CU Reference Box for Emcee Model 1152 - PAC

The CU Reference Box is a precision reference accessory that lets you confirm your Emcee Model 1152 Digital Conductivity Meter is reading correctly – at your own facility, in under five minutes, without shipping the instrument anywhere.

It replaces the meter’s probe with a known, certified conductivity value. Press the M switch, and the meter should read that value within ±2%. If it does, your electronics are sound. If it doesn’t, you’ve found the problem in your lab instead of on the ramp.

Each CU Reference Box ships with a certificate of calibration operates either at 100pS/m or 500pS/m.

What the CU Reference Box Does – and What It Doesn't

It does: confirm that your Model 1152’s electronics and circuitry are functioning correctly against a known reference value. It gives you a fast, repeatable functional check you can run as often as your quality program requires – daily, before a critical transfer, or after an instrument is dropped or exposed to weather.

It does not: calibrate your meter, adjust it, or extend your factory calibration interval. The CU Reference Box is a verification tool, not a calibration standard. Your Model 1152 still requires periodic calibration in an ISO/IEC 17025 laboratory, and the CU Reference Box itself must be kept current in its own calibration for accurate readings.

If a fuel sample gives you an unexpected reading, the CU Reference Box helps you quickly verify the meter, so you can determine whether the issue is with the fuel or the instrument. Think of it as the check between calibrations—not a replacement for one.

Who Uses It

Aviation fuel handlers, refineries, fuel terminals, and into-plane operators running ASTM D2624, IP 274, or ISO 6297 conductivity testing – anywhere a Model 1152 result feeds a fuel release decision and instrument confidence has to be demonstrable.

Also used by industrial and process labs monitoring conductivity in paints, inks, coatings, and solvents.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a CU Reference Box?
A CU Reference Box is a certified reference accessory for the Emcee Model 1152 Digital Conductivity Meter. It presents the meter with a known conductivity value in place of the probe, so you can confirm the instrument's electronics are reading correctly without sending it to a service depot.
How accurate does the reading need to be?
The meter should read the CU Reference Box's rated value within ±2%, after applying the correction chart for your probe number. A reading outside that range indicates the meter needs attention.
Does the CU Reference Box itself need calibration?
Yes. Both the Model 1152 and the CU Reference Box must be current in their annual calibration for a verification check to be accurate. Each box ships with a certificate of calibration.
Does the CU Reference Box calibrate my Model 1152?
No. It verifies that the meter is working electronically. It does not calibrate or adjust the instrument, and it does not extend your factory calibration interval. Your Model 1152 still requires periodic calibration in an ISO/IEC 17025 laboratory.
How often should I use it?
As often as your quality program requires. Common practice is a routine check on a set schedule, plus verification if you receive unexpected reading, or any time an instrument is dropped, exposed to liquid, or returned from the field.
How do I get a CU Reference Box?
Contact your local Emcee distributor or request a quote. For a limited time, a CU Reference Box is included free with every qualifying Model 1152 trade-in upgrade.
