Page 4: Measurement Procedure
Measurement Procedure Conductivity Sample Preparation: Salinity For Conductivity, TDS or Salinity place the test sample in a sample cup with enough depth (2.5cm minimum) to cover the electrode. Stir the solution to remove any air bubbles. For pH, place the tip of the electrode in the sample or make contact with a wet surface. -
Page 5: Storing Readings
Changing Measurement Function The meter can be set to measure pH, Conductivity, TDS or Salinity. To change the mode: 1. Press and Hold the MODE/HOLD button for 2 seconds and the display will begin to scroll through the units. µS (Conductivity); pH; ppm S (Salinity); ppm (TDS); mg/l (TDS); Note: The “HOLD”... -
Page 6: Data Hold Mode
Recalling Stored Readings 1. Press the CAL/RECALL button and then press the MODE/HOLD button. A location number (1 through 25) will briefly appear and then the value stored in that location will appear. The displayed units will flash, indicating that the storage recall mode is active. 19.5 °... - Page 7 Calibration - pH (1, 2, or 3 points) Place the electrode into a buffer solution (4, 7, or 10). Press and hold the CAL/RECALL key until “CAL” appears in the lower (temp.) display. When doing a 2 or 3 point calibration, calibrate with pH 7 buffer first, then follow with pH 4 then the pH 10 buffer.
- Page 8 Calibration - Conductivity Meter accuracy verification should be performed on a periodic basis. Once per month is the recommended cycle for normal use. If calibration is required, a conductivity standardizing solution must be obtained. The meter can be calibrated in any or all of the three ranges.
