Introduction Description The RE388Tx is a precision auto-ranging, bench-top conductivity meter. The meter can be used to measure: Conductivity; TDS; Resistivity; Salinity; Concentration and Temperature. Automatic temperature compensation is standard in all modes. The meter features a built-in platinizing unit as well as an RS232 output.
Units of Measurement When using the RE388Tx Conductivity or Resistivity may be ex pressed in one of two units: The coherent system of units adopted by ISO (IUPAC), known as the SI unit, defines conductivity and Resistivity to be expressed as multiples of per meter.

Appendix 2 Appendix 1 Calibration Solutions Cell Constants 1413µSlcm@25 ° C 0.0!M KC! Conductivity cells with different cell constants can be used to achieve greater accuracy or used to make difficult measurements µSiem mSlm µSiem mSlm easier. Selection of the correct cell constant is dependent on the conductivity range of the sample.
