INITIAL INSPECTION Carefully unpack the instrument and accessories. Inspect for damages made in shipment. If any damage is found, notify your Jenco representative immediately. All packing materials should be saved until satisfactory operation is confirmed. GENERAL INTRODUCTION The Jenco Model 3173/3173R Bench System is a microprocessor based instrument designed for use in field, laboratories and process control applications.
THE KEYPAD FIGURE 2 1. The [MODE] key. In normal operation this key will change the display to Conductivity, compensated Conductivity, Salinity and TDS displays. In calibration mode this key will exit the current parameter calibration and go to the next calibration parameter. 2.
REPLACING THE BATTERIES Follow the procedures to replace the internal batteries. 1.Replace batteries when the BAT indicator appears on the LCD. The instrument can operate within specifications for approximately one hour after BAT starts to appear. 2.The battery compartment is located at the bottom side of the meter (Refer to Figure 4). Flip the meter over so that the bottom side is facing up.
MODES OF THE METER This instrument has four modes as follow: 1.Conductivity (uS or mS): A measurement of the conductive material in the solution with no regard to temperature. 2. Compensated Conductivity (uS or mS): Also known as temperature compensated conductivity which automatically adjusts to a calculated value which would have been read if the sample had been at 25 ℃...
ON again it will return to this mode. CALIBRATION SET-UP BEFORE CALIBRATE System calibration is rarely required as Model 3173/3173R were all factory pre-calibrated. However, from time to time it is wise to check the system calibration and make adjustment when necessary.

temperature reference or press the [MODE] key to exit (and go to the next calibration parameter). PROBE BASIC CELL CONSTANT 6. The unit will display the actual (calibrated previously or default) cell constant while the lower part of the LCD will display the current selected cell number.
[MODE] key to exit calibration and return to normal operation. MEASUREMENTS The Model 3173/3173R is an autoranging instrument. This means that, regardless of the conductivity of the solution (within the specifications of the instrument), all you need to do to get the most accurate reading is to put the probe into the sample.
