Page 10: Calibration
Calibration 3.1 Important Information on Meter Calibration The Micro 600 COND and Micro 600 TDS have five measuring ranges listed below. Each range can be calibrated to one point per range (five total points if each range is calibrated). Calibration is recommended for each range that will be used. -
Page 11: Preparing The Meter For Calibration
(deionised water is ideal). 3.3 Selection of Auto or Manual Calibration (Micro 600 COND) The Micro 600 COND is capable of automatic or manual calibration. The factory default setting is automatic. In the automatic calibration mode, the Micro 600 COND will automatically select one of (4) calibration standard values (see below) depending on the range and normalisation temperature being used. -
Page 12: Using Automatic Calibration (Micro 600 Cond)
1. See Section 5.3 Advanced Setup to modify automatic or manual calibration. 3.4 Using Automatic Calibration (Micro 600 COND) In Automatic Calibration mode, the COND can accept up to 4 calibration points with maximum of 1 point per measurement range. Note: values in the 0.00 to 20.00 µS/cm range cannot be calibrated in Auto Calibration mode. -
Page 13: Manual Calibration
Calibration NOTES: 1 To protect from erroneous calibrations, the allowable tolerance is ±40% of the factory default value. If calibration is attempted with standards that fall outside this tolerance range, the error message “Err 1” is indicated and meter will return to measurement mode. For example, a 40% tolerance of a 1413 µS/cm standard, is 848 µS/cm to 1978 µS/cm. -
Page 14: Temperature Calibration
Calibration 5 When the value is stable, press s or t as needed to adjust the value to match your calibration standard. 6 Press ENTER to confirm the adjusted value. [CO] will appear briefly indicating that the calibration was successful. The meter returns to measurement mode. 7 Repeat steps 1-6 as needed with additional calibration standards. -
Page 15: Measurement
Measurement 4.0 Measurement Your meter is capable of taking measurements that incorporate temperature measurements automatically (most common) or using a temperature which you input manually (rare). 4.1 With Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC) To compensate your reading using temperature values as measured by your electrode, simply attach the phono plug of the electrode to the meter. -

Page 20: Setting The Tds Factor (Micro 600 Tds Only)
Advanced Setup Functions 5.4 Setting the TDS Factor (Micro 600 TDS only) The concentration of salts dissolved in solution increases the conductivity. This relationship varies from salt to salt and is roughly linear over a given range for a given salt. The TDS conversion factor is the number used by the meter to convert from conductivity to TDS. -
Page 21: Normalisation Temperature
Advanced Setup Functions 5.6 Normalisation Temperature You can set the meter to normalise its measurements to a temperature of either 25°C or 20°C. Default value is 25°C. 1 Enter advanced setup as described in Section 5.1. 2 Press s or t until [t.nr°C] appears. Press ENTER. 3 Press s or t to select [25.0°C] or [20.0°C]. -

Page 26: Conductivity Theory
Conductivity Theory Conductance is a quantity associated with the ability of primarily aqueous solutions to carry an electrical current, I, between two metallic electrodes when a voltage V is connected to them. Though water itself is a rather poor conductor of electricity, the presence of ions in the water increases its conductance considerably, the current being carried by the migration of the dissolved ions. - Page 27 Conductivity Theory Since the basic unit of electrical resistance is the ohm, and conductance is the reciprocal of resistance, the basic unit of conductance was originally designated a “mho” - ohm spelled backwards - however, this term has been replace by the term “Siemens”.

Page 28: Calibration Tips
Calibration Tips You only need one calibration for measurement throughout the entire range of the meter. If a range was not calibrated, the meter automatically detects the closest range calibrated and uses that calibration information. However, only the ranges that were calibrated have maximum accuracy. If you are measuring in ranges near to or greater than 20 mS/cm (10 ppt), or near to or lower than 100 µS/cm (50 ppm), suggested calibration frequency is at least weekly. -
Page 29: Calculating Tds Conversion Factor
Calculating TDS Conversion Factor You can calibrate your meter using TDS calibration standard solutions. The calibration standard only needs to give the TDS value at a standard temperature such as 25°C. To determine the conductivity-to-TDS conversion factor use the following formula: Factor = Actual TDS ÷... -
