    TESTING Getting Started 1. Twist off the battery compartment cap to access the battery tab. Remove the plastic tab before first use. 2. Remove the cap from the bottom of the TRACER to expose the electrode. Changing the Measurement Function The meter can be set to measure Conductivity, TDS (ppm), TDS (mg/L) or Salinity.

  • Page 10: Measurement

    Measurement 1. Fill a sample cup to the 20 mL line with the test sample. Sample depth must be greater than or equal to 1.5 inches. 2. Immerse the TRACER electrode in the sample. Make sure the electrode is completely submersed. 3.

    9. Stir the filtrate with the electrode to create a homogeneous solution. 10. Gently stir the filtrate with the electrode. Read the TDS value of the filtrate from the display. 11. Rinse the electrode in distilled water. Replace the cap. Storing Readings 1.

  • Page 12: Calibration

    CALIBRATION Meter accuracy verification should be performed on a periodic basis as needed. If calibration is required, the meter must be in the conductivity mode to perform the calibration. The meter can perform a calibration and store the data for each of the three ranges – low, medium and high. The automatic calibration recognition procedure will recognize conductivity standards of 84mS (Low), 1413mS (Medium) or 12,880mS (12.88mS) (High).

  • Page 13: Maintenance Storage

    MAINTENANCE Storage 1. Rinse the electrode in distilled or deionized water. 2. Store the electrode dry with the cap on. Battery Replacement For maximum battery life, use battery style SR-44 (Silver Oxide) such as EnergizerÔ No. 356 or DuracellÔ No. 303/357. 1.
