MEASURING PROCEDURE
Conductivity measurement
-
Turn on the meter by pressing the ” Power Button ” ( 3-3, Fig. 1 ) momentarily.
Press the ” Power Button ” ( 3-3, Fig. 1 ) momentarily again will turn off the meter.
The ” Display ” ( 3-2, Fig. 1 ) will show the unit as:
Now the meter is ready for the conductivity measurement -
Electrode probe plug ( 3-8 Fig 1 ) into the meter conductivity Electrode input socket ( 3-6 Fig 1),Hold the conductivity Electrode probe by hand and immerse the ” Sensing Electrode head ” ( 3-7, Fig. 1 ) immersed wholly into the measured solution. Shake the ” Sensing Electrode ” to let the electrode’s internal air bubble drift out from the sensing Electrode.
” Display ” ( 3-2, Fig. 1 ) will show the conductivity ( uS ) values, at the same time the left bottom display will show the Temp. value of the measured solution.
Hardness measurement
Same procedures as above ” 4-1 Conductivity measurement ” but should select
the measuring unit to ” ppm ” at first, the procedures are following : Press ”
Func Button ” ( 3-4, Fig. 1 ) continuously at least two seconds until the ”
Display ” show the unit ” ppm ” instead of ” uS “, then release the button.
Now the meter is ready for Hardness (ppm) measurement.
Data Hold
- During the measurement, press the ” Hold Button ” ( 3-4, Fig. 1 ) momentarily to hold the measured value. The LCD will show a ” HOLD ” symbol.
- Press the ” Hold Button ” once again to release the data hold function
Data Record ( Max., Min. reading )
-
The data record function records the maximum and minimum readings. Press the ” REC Button ” ( 3-5, Fig. 1 ) momentarily to start the Data Record function, shows ” REC ” on the display.
-
With the ” REC ” symbol on the display.
-
Press the ” REC Button ” ( 3-5, Fig. 1 ) momentarily, the ” REC MAX ” symbol along with the maximum value will appear on the display.
-
Press the ” REC Button ” ( 3-5, Fig. 1 ) momentarily again, the ” REC MIN ” symbol along with the minimum value will appear on the display.
When display shows ” REC MAX ” or ” REC MIN “, press the ” Hold Button ” ( 3-4, Fig. 1 ) momentarily will delete the max. ( min. ) value, the display will show the ” REC. ” only and execute the memory function continuously. -
To exit the memory record function, press the ” REC ” button for 2 seconds at least. The display will revert to the current reading, not show ” REC ” indicator.
Change Temp. unit ℃, ℉
- The temperature units can be selected to ℃ or ℉.
- Pressing the ” REC Button, Unit Button ” ( 3-5, Fig. 1 ) continuously at least 2 seconds, then Temp. unit will change from ℃ to ℉ or ℉ to ℃.
- After the temperature unit is selected, it will be memorized into the memory circuit . If power off and on again will present the existing selection Temp. unit.
Auto power off management
The meter has built-in “Auto Power Shut-off ” function in order to prolong battery life. The meter will switch off automatically if none of the buttons are pressed within 10 min..
CALIBRATION
The meter already made the calibration precisely during the production in the factory. When the user get the meter, the calibration are not necessary. However after use the meter for a long period, if necessary to make the calibration, please contact the distributor and should calibrated by the authorized technician people only.
REPLACEMENT OF BATTERY
- When the LCD display show ” ” , it is necessary to replace the battery. However, in-spec measurement may still be made for several hours after Low Battery Indicator appears before the instruments instrument become inaccurate.
- To replace the battery, rotate and remove the ” Battery Cover ” ( 3-1, Fig. 1 ), take out the old batteries, install new batteries : DC 1.5V battery ( UM-4/AAA ) x 4 PCs.
- When install the batteries, should make attention the battery polarity.
- After install the batteries, reinstall the battery cover again.
