Cond 315i Safety Safety This operating manual contains basic instructions that you must follow during the commissioning, operation and maintenance of the measur- ing instrument. Consequently, all responsible personnel must read this operating manual carefully before working with the measuring system.
Safety Cond 315i General safety instructions This instrument is built and inspected according to the relevant guide- lines and norms for electronic measuring instruments (see chapter 7 ECHNICAL DATA It left the factory in a safe and secure technical condition.
Cond 315i Commissioning Commissioning l Handheld meter, Cond 315i Scope of delivery l Operating manual and short operating manual l 4 batteries, 1.5 V Mignon type AA (in the instrument) For details of scope of delivery of SETs, see chapter 1.1 SET S OF and WTW catalog.
Temperature probe Only carry out measurements with a temperature probe. The tempera- ture probe is shown on the display by TP. The WTW TetraCon325 conductivity measuring cell has a temperature sensor integrated in it. Note The conductivity measuring instrument automatically recognizes the type of the temperature probe used.
Operation Cond 315i 4.2.2 Conductivity / Specific resistance Note You can display measured values in the units µ S/cm (conductivity) or M Ω cm (specific resistance). This basic setting is described in section 4.4 C ONFIGURATION Thus, you can carry out conductivity measurements or measurements of the specific resistance: Perform the preparatory activities according to section 4.2.1.
Cond 315i Operation 4.2.3 Salinity You can carry out the salinity measurements as follows: Perform the preparatory activities according to section 4.2.1. Immerse the conductivity measuring cell in the test sample. Press the <M> key until Sal appears on the status display. The salinity value appears on the display.

AutoRange Name of the automatic selection of the measuring range. AutoRead WTW name for a function to check the stability of the measured value. Calibration Comparing the value from a measuring system (e. g. the displayed value) to the correct value or a value that is regarded as correct. Of- ten, this expression is also used when the measuring system is adjust- ed at the same time (see adjusting).
