Installation Carefully unpack the meter. Package contents The ST3100C-B package has the following items ST3100C-B Units STARTER 3100C meter Stand alone electrode holder 1413 µS/cm standard solution 1 bottle (about 20ml) 12.88 mS/cm standard solution 1 bottle (about 20ml) In addition to ST3100C-B content, the ST3100C-F package also includes the following:...
When we put pH electrode on the arm, we can keep the storage bottle of pH electrode in the base hole. Installing the power adapter Insert the right adapter clip into the power adapter slot. Ohaus balance power supply is also 12V which could also be used for the pH meter.
There is one socket “COND.” for conductivity electrode. Meter stand for adjusting view angle One unique design of the STARTER 3100C is the meter stand, which can be used to adjust the view angle of the display in case of working on high lab table.
Calibration 3.1.1 Selecting a standard When using the STARTER 3100C conductivity meter, you have to select a standard for calibration (see 4.3). Press and hold the button-Mode enter setup mode, after press button-Read to confirm the temperature unit and value. Then the current standard blinks. Use up or down buttons to select the standard , press button-Read to confirm.
Press button-Mode to switch between conductivity and TDS measurement mode. Using the memory 3.4.1 Storing a reading The STARTER 3100C can store up to 99 endpoint results. Press button-Store when the measurement reaches endpoint. M01 indicates that one result has been stored.
Printing If a printer is connected to the STARTER 3100C, a print-out is automatically generated after each end pointed measurement or calibration. The format for the print-out following a Cond. measurement is: End Point, Value, Temp., ATC/MTC Auto EP, 68.8μS/cm, 26.8° C , ATC Ref.25°...
Setup Set temperature unit After confirming the temperature correction coefficient, the temperature unit appears on the display. Use up or down buttons to switch between ° C and ° F. Press button-Read to confirm your selection. Continue with reference temperature setting or press button-Exit to go back to the measurement screen.
Meter maintenance Never unscrew the two halves of the housing! The STARTER 3100C meter does not require any maintenance other than occasional wipe with a damp cloth. The housing is made of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS). This material is attacked by some organic solvents, such as toluene, xylene and methyl ethyl ketone (MEK).
Recover Factory Setup When the meter is off , press and hold button-Read & button-Cal & button-Exit together for 3 and blinks, means “Reset”. Then we have 2 choice: seconds, the screen displays Press button-Read to reset factory settings (MTC, slope and offset, etc.), display then restart the meter.
