Am I correct in thinking that you can calibrate the conductivity probe in the sump - providing you're confident you're running 35ppt salinity which is equivalent 53 mS/cm conductivity. Seems this would be a better option that out of sump with packet as its a) correct temperature and b) taking any stray voltage into account.

The conductivity proves are the most unreliable probes there are for the apex...
do 10 minutes of searching and your ok find hundreds of people who can’t keep them calibrated because they are just junk.

Yep thanks fully aware, but whilst its packaged with the system, worth using. I will say, with TC enabled, I have had it run for months at a time in close correlation with my Hanna pen tester.
