The first display should be the default number of calibration points. 2. Press the CAL key again to change the default calibration point, selecting 1, 2 or 3 points. Press the ENTER key to confirm.
- Page 4 16. The tester will automatically go to measurement mode. CONDUCTIVITY CALIBRATION It is recommended that the KS-SAL-20 should be calibrated regularly to ensure accurate measurements. The KS-SAL- 20 allows up to 3 points calibration and it is recommended to use 3 points calibration before measurement.
