Conductivity Operation: Measurement
Once the meter is standardized, you are ready to take conductivity, resistivity, TDS or salinity
measurements of your sample.
1. Immerse the rinsed conductivity cell with built in ATC into the sample solution. The
immersion depth should be enough to cover the vent holes on the electrode.
2. Stir the solution with the electrode briefly and then let the electrode sit still in the solution.
3. Record the reading once the measurement has become stable. STABLE will appear once
the meter recognizes that the measurement is stable. The meter will automatically change
ranges from uS/cm to mS/cm as required.
NOTES: You can access other functions of the meter with the remaining buttons on the measure
screen.
• Touch Print to send the data to a printer, or touch Log Data to log the data to memory (if a
sample ID# has been assigned).
• Touching Setup will access the conductivity Setup screen.
• At anytime, you can touch Mode to access another mode of operation including: resistivity,
TDS, salinity or the setup mode.
