S A F E T Y I N F O R M A T I O N Please follow the guidelines below, and read this manual in its entirety to ensure safe operation of the unit. Avoiding Damage to the Instrument - Precautions The Instrument Case Though the instrument is housed in a water-proof IP67 case, DO NOT use it underwater. -
Page 6: Unpacking
Item # Contents 601037 EC300M meter, manual, USB cable, 9V battery, transport case, probe with 10 meter cable U N P A C K I N G Carefully unpack the unit and accessories, and inspect for shipping damages. Compare received parts with materials listed in the Package Contents section. - Page 7 This instrument is waterproof (IP67) when the connector cap is installed. The mechanical touch keys are highly reliable with tactile and audio feedback. This instrument uses one 9V battery. Recalibration is not required when power is restored. The front of the instrument has a large LCD that displays temperature and either temperature compensated or non-temperature compensated conductivity, salinity or TDS simultaneously along with user prompts and mode indicators.

3. Uncompensated Conductivity – Direct measurement of conductivity, not compensated to a specific temperature. Expressed as uS/cm or mS/cm. 4. Salinity – Measurement of salinity; expressed in parts per thousand (ppt). 5. TDS – Measurement of total dissolved solids (TDS); expressed in milligrams per liter (mg/L) Carefully observe the units displayed at the far side of the LCD to determine the desired mode. -
Page 12: Temperature Coefficient
Note: Be certain to press Enter to reset the cell constant to 5.00. If MODE is pressed, the unit retains the previous cell constant and calibrates from a value that is already offset. Temperature Coefficient The unit uses the temperature coefficient to calculate temperature compensated conductivity. -
Page 13: Saving, Viewing And Deleting Data
Saving, Viewing and Deleting Data The EC300A can save 50 data records, while the EC300M can save 250 data records. When in measurement mode, press Enter to save a record. The instrument will confirm saving the data by displaying “Save” and the data record number for one second. “Full” is displayed when trying to save data and memory is full. -

7. Select Finish, then choose where you want the data to be placed on your opened spreadsheet. M A I N T E N A N C E The most important requirement for accurate and reproducible conductivity measurements is a clean cell. A dirty cell changes the conductivity of a solution through contamination. - Page 18 A C C E S S O R I E S / P A R T N U M B E R S Part Number Description 606044 1 meter probe and cable assembly 605395 4 meter probe and cable assembly 605396 10 meter probe and cable assembly 606043...
