Product Usage Instructions
Battery Installation
Please install batteries according to the following steps.
Please note polarity : + (anode) is upward; – (cathode) is downward.
Note : This salinity meter measures practical salinity converted from electrical conductivity (NaCl Concentration). It does not measure absolute salinity.
Keypad Functions
Short press < 2 seconds
Long press > 2 seconds
1. Short press to turn on, long press to turn off;
2. When turned off, long press to enter setup;
3. In the mode setting, short press to change the parameter;

Calibration
Rinse the probe in distilled water and dry it. Short press to turn on the tester.
Long press to enter calibration mode; Short press to exit.
Dip the probe into the calibration solution. Stir gently, leave it to stand, LCD displays, short press to complete 1-point calibration.
Salinity Measurement
Short press to turn on the tester. Rinse the probe in distilled water and dry it.
Stir the probe in the sample solution gently, and leave it to stand. Get readings after the smile icon comes up and stays.
Notes
The tester has self-diagnosis functions.
The tester has already been calibrated after manufacture. Calibrate it if needed before use.

COMPLETE KIT
CALIBRATION
Rinse the probe in distilled water and dry it. Short press to turn on the tester.
Long press to enter calibration mode; Short press to exit.
Dip the probe into the calibration solution. Stir gently, and leave it to
stand, LCD displays short press to complete
1-point calibration. The tester returns to measuring mode, and the calibration icon appears at the button left of LCD.
SALINITY MEASUREMENT
Short press to turn on the tester. Rinse the probe in distilled water and dry
it.
Stir the probe in the sample solution gently, and leave it to stand. Get
readings after the smile icon comes up and stays.
NOTES
The tester has self-diagnosis functions:
The tester has already been calibrated after manufacture. Usually users can use the tester right out of the box or test it in the calibration solution to compare the reading with the standard value. When the error is large, calibrate it before using
PARAMETER SETTING
Parameter setting reference chart:
How to Setup parameters:
When turned off, long press to enter setup → short press to switch P1-P2→ Short press , parameter
flickering → short press to choose, short press to confirm parameter selection → Long press to switch off.
Parameter setting notes:
a) Select salinity unit(P1):
Optional units : ppt – mg/L, the factory default is ppt.
b) Restore to factory default:
Select Yes to restore the calibration to the theoretical values and parameter setting to the original values. When the meter’s calibration or measurement performs abnormally, this function can be adapted so the meter goes back to the factory default setting and then users can conduct calibration or take measurements again.
