All connectors on the 5-Star Plus benchtop meter are depicted above. All connectors on the 5-Star
Plus portable meter are highlighted in gray.
The 3-Star Plus and 4-Star Plus meters will have fewer connectors. For example, the 3-Star Plus
portable conductivity meter will only have 8 pin miniDIN and RS232 connectors.

Quick Start Guide
Preparation
1. Power adapter (benchtop meters only) – Select the appropriate wall outlet plug
and slide the plug plate into the groove on the back of the adapter. See A.
Batteries – Select four AA alkaline batteries. Confi rm that the meter is off and
remove the battery cover. Orient and insert the batteries as depicted in the
battery compartment housing. Replace the cover. See B and C.
2. Prepare the conductivity probe according to the directions in the conductivity
probe user guide. In general, this includes rinsing the cell with deionized
water. See D.
3. Meter connections – Connect the power adapter to the meter and then to the
wall outlet (benchtop meters only). See E. Connect the conductivity probe to
the 8 pin miniDIN input on the meter. See F. Connect the stirrer probe to the
stir jack input on the meter (benchtop meters only). See G.
Note: All unused inputs on the meter should be covered with the black caps.
Meter Overview
1. To power on the meter, press the power key.
2. Press the line select key to choose the top, middle or bottom display line.
The icon will point to the selected line.
3. In the measurement mode, press the up arrow or down arrow key to change
the measurement units on the middle display line to conductivity (μS/cm
or mS/cm), total dissolved solids (mg/L), salinity (ppt), resistivity (MΩ-cm),
temperature (no icon) or a blank line.
4. To escape out of any meter function, press and hold the measure key until the
meter returns to the measurement mode.
5. The 3-Star Plus, 4-Star Plus and 5-Star Plus conductivity meters can perform a
one point manual calibration, up to a three point automatic calibration or up to
a fi ve point direct calibration.
