1. Battery Installation

Please install batteries according to the following steps. *Please note direction of batteries: All

POSITIVE SIDES (“+”) FACING UP. (Wrong installation of batteries will cause damage to the

tester and potential hazards)

2. Keypad Functions

■Short press------ < 2 seconds ,Long press------- > 2 seconds

1.Short press to turn on the tester and long press to

turn off the tester.

2.When turned off, long press to enter parameter

setting.

3. In measurement mode, short press to turn on

backlight.

1.In measurement mode, short press to switch

parameter COND→TDS→SAL

2.In mode setting, short press to change parameter

(Unidirectional)

1. Long press to enter calibration mode.

2. In calibration mode, short press to confirm

calibration.

3.When measured value is locked, short press to

unlock

① Pull the battery cap up

② Slide the battery cap along to the direction of arrow

③ Open the battery cap

④ Insert the batteries (ALL POSITIVE SIDES FACING UP) (see graph)

⑤ Close the battery cap

⑥ Slide and lock the battery cap along to the direction of arrow

⑦ Fit the tester’s cap while making sure to push all the way down. The tester’s

waterproof design may be compromised if the cap is not fitted correctly.

4.Conductivity Calibration

4.1 Press key to switch to conductivity measurement mode. Rinse the probe in distilled water

and dry it.

4.2 Pour certain amount (about half volume of the calibration bottle) of 1413μS/cm and 12.88

mS/cm conductivity calibration solution into accordant calibration bottles.

4.3 Long press key to enter calibration mode, short press to exit.

4.4 Dip the probe in 1413 μS/cm conductivity calibration solution, stir gently and

allow it to stand still in the solution until a stable reading is reached. When stable

icon appears and stays on the LCD screen, short press key to complete one-point

calibration, the tester returns to measurement mode and indication icon will

appear at the bottom left of the LCD screen.

4.5 After calibration, dip the probe in 12.88 mS/cm conductivity calibration

solution. If the value is accurate, it is not necessary to conduct 2nd point

calibration. If it is inaccurate, follow the steps in 7.3 to 7.4 to complete the 2nd point of calibration

using 12.88 mS/cm buffer solution.

* 1000 µS/cm = 1 mS/cm

* 1000ppm = 1ppt

5. Conductivity Measurement

Press key to turn on the tester. Rinse the probe in distilled water and dry it.

Dip the probe in sample solution, stir gently, and allow it to stand still in the solution until a stable

reading is reached. Get readings after comes up and stays. Press to switch from

Conductivity to TDS, and Salinity

■Notes

a) The TDS and Salinity measurements are converted from the conductivity

measurements via a certain conversion factor.

b) The tester can calibrate 84μS, 1413 μS/cm and 12.88 mS/cm conductivity calibration

solution. User can conduct 1 to 3 points calibration. Refer to the table below. Usually

calibrating the tester with 1413 μS/cm conductivity buffer solution alone shall meet the

testing requirement.

5.1 The tester has been calibrated before leaving the factory. Generally, users can use the tester

directly or users can test conductivity buffer solutions first. If the error is large, then calibration is

needed.

5.2 For conductivity calibration solutions, we recommend that users replace new solutions after 5

to 10 times of use to keep the standard solution’s accuracy. Do NOT pour the used calibration

solutions back into the solution bottles in case of contamination.

5.3 Temperature compensation factor: The default setting of the temp. compensation factor is

2.0%/℃. User can adjust the factor based on test solution and experimental data in parameter

setting P4.

5.4 TDS and conductivity is linear related, and its conversion factor is 0.40-1.00. Adjust the factor

in parameter setting P5 based on the requirements in different industries. The factory default

setting is 0.71. Salinity and conductivity is linear related, and its conversion factor is 0.5. The tester

only needs to be calibrated in Conductivity mode, then after calibration of conductivity, the meter

can switch from conductivity to TDS or salinity.

5.5 Conversion Example: if conductivity measurement is 1000µS/cm2, then the default TDS

measurement will be 710 ppm (under the default 0.71 conversion factor), and the salinity be 0.5

ppt.

5.6 For the self-diagnosis information, please refer to the table below:

How to fix

Wrong conductivity buffer solution, which

exceeds the recognizable range of the meter.

1. Check if buffer solution is correct

2. Check if electrode isdamaged.

When turned off, long press to enter parameter setting →short press

to switch P1-P2… →P8. Short Press , parameter flashes →short press

to choose parameter, → short press to confirm →Long press

to turn off.

6.3 Parameter Setting Instruction

a) Automatic lock (P1):

Select “On”to activate auto lock function. When reading is stable for more than 10

seconds, the tester will lock the value automatically, and HOLD icon

will display on LCD. Press key to cancel auto hold.

b) Backlight (P2)

“Off”-turn off backlight, “On”-turn on backlight, 1- backlight will last for 1 minute.

c) Factory default Setting (P7)

Select “Yes”to recover instrument calibration to theoretical value, parameter setting return

to initial value. This function can be used when instrument does not work well in calibration

or measurement. Calibrate and measure again after recover the instrument to factory

default status.
