Page 9: Getting Started
Getting started Power supply The device is powered by the included AC mains adaptor (input: 100 … 240 V AC; 50/60 Hz; output: 4.2 V DC / 1 A). The mains adaptor is connected at the bottom of the device. During operation, the integrated 2200 mAh lithium battery can be used. -
Page 10: Measurement
Measurement By pressing the „MEAS“ key, you can directly enter measurement mode from the welcome screen, from the calibration menu or from the settings screen (Image 2). Image 2 Notes In the upper area of the display (cf. „MEASUREMENT“) Image 2), you can see in what mode you currently are. -
Page 11: Notes On The Measurement
In order to make a measurement, the probe must be placed vertically and directly on the sample material for two seconds. The meter will then emit a sound to signalise that the conductivity measurement is completed. The measured data are automatically shown in the display and do not disappear before a new measurement is made. -
Page 12: Settings
Settings 1. Menu navigation The shortcut “SET“ is available in every mode and directs you to the settings as shown in the images 3-5. Image 3 Image 4 Image 5 © PCE Instruments... - Page 13 Ten different settings are available. Use the arrow keys to navigate through the settings and to highlight the desired option. You can confirm your selection by pressing the “OK“ key. If you want to return from one of the options to the overview of the different setting options, press the “SET“...
- Page 14 The current temperature “TA“ shows the ambient temperature during the measurement (measured by the temperature sensor). When you have selected “TC“ (underlined), press „OK“ to move the cursor to the displayed number. You can now change the number by means of the arrow keys to enter the material temperature.
- Page 15 5. Calibration block Image 9 The numerical values behind σ and σ can be set as conductivity values of the high-value calibration block and of the low-value calibration block at a temperature of 20 °C and are used for calibration. To select a unit, read chapter 5.4.7. The values of a and a can be set as temperature coefficients of the respective block.
- Page 16 6. Data storage mode Image 10 For information on how to use this function, read chapter 5.4.11. Use the arrow keys to select one of the two options and confirm with “OK”. You will then automatically get back to the previous screen. When you have switched the device off and back on, you will automatically be in manual storage mode.
- Page 17 8. Memory Image 12 In this option, you can see the saved data. Up to 500 data records can be saved. In the upper part of the display, next to “QUERY“, you can find the date of storage of the data record.

- Page 22 If you wish to use a different language than the one selected during installation, you can select it via the corresponding icon in the toolbar (“Selection of a language supported by the system“). To enable the "PCE-COM 20" to work with the software, the assigned COM port must be set once.
- Page 23 Connect with the "PCE-COM 20" After making the desired settings and closing the settings dialogue by clicking on the "Apply" button, you can establish a connection to the "PCE-COM 20" by clicking on the corresponding icon ("Connect with the "PCE-COM 20"").
- Page 24 When the connection has been established successfully, all measurement values saved to the "PCE-COM 20" can be imported to the software as a cohesive series of measurements. After clicking on the corresponding icon on the toolbar ("Load a series of measurements from a file"), a new dialogue will appear (Fig.
- Page 25 After the import After completion of the data import, all values measured by the "PCE-COM 20" will be available in the software. Numerical display Fig. 5: Numerical display In the upper right-hand part of the main window (Fig. 5), all measurement values are shown in a chart.
- Page 26 Statistical data Fig. 6: Statistical data Below the chart, there is an area (Fig. 6) showing statistical data: Number of measured values belonging to a series of measurements, minimum and maximum values, span (maximum - minimum), median, arithmetic average, standard deviation, standard error and modal value.
- Page 27 Fig. 8: Renaming series of measurements If you would like to remove series of measurements from the software, you can highlight one or more identifiers in the list of series of measurements and delete them by pressing the "Del" key on your keyboard.

Page 28: Calibration
Note: After at least one completed import, the series of measurements will be kept within the memory of the computer until it is deleted or the software is closed. In the latter case, the software will show a hint that the current series of measurements has not been saved yet, which means that its complete content will be lost if you close the software (Fig. - Page 29 1. Calibration of the high value a When you are in the calibration menu, a calibration of the block with the high value will be required first. The set value of this block is marked with a , in the upper part of the display. On the lower, left-hand side of the display, the corresponding temperature coefficient will be shown.
