    Preparation Installing the Batteries The sympHony meters use four AA alkaline batteries. Do not use lithium or rechargeable batteries. Improper installation of non-alkaline batteries could create a hazard. Note: For benchtop meters, the installation of batteries is not required if the unit will always be connected to a power source via the universal power supply.

  • Page 67 5.64 Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) The sympHony conductivity meters measure TDS as the total amount of dissolved inorganics in a solution. The dissolved inorganics carry a current that is measured by the conductivity probe. Since there is a direct relationship between conductivity and TDS, conductivity readings are used to estimate the presence of inorganics.
