Measuring Conductivity (Model T - Elcometer 130 User Manual

5 MEASURING CONDUCTIVITY (MODEL T)

1 Press and hold the ON/OFF button to switch the gauge on.
2 Press Menu/Setup/Measurement Mode/Conductivity to set the measurement mode.
3 Press Menu/Setup/Units to set the measurement units.
4
Only the measurement units applicable to conductivity will be available for selection, see section 3.3. If set to
an alternative measurement unit prior to selecting the measurement mode Conductivity, the gauge will
automatically default to µS/cm.
4 Put on a pair of clean disposable gloves.
5 Using tweezers, remove a filter paper from the pack and place on to the measurement electrodes.
6 Fill a syringe with precisely 1.6ml of the contaminated liquid / liquid under test.
7 Eject the test liquid from the syringe onto the filter paper, ensuring even distribution.
8 Close the lid ensuring that the magnetic catch is fully engaged.
9 The reading will automatically be displayed on screen and stored into memory.
10 Lift the lid and remove the filter paper.
11 Place the filter paper in a resealable bag (supplied), if required for further chemical analysis.
12 Clean the electrodes between tests using pure water and a sensor wipe (supplied).
13 Clean the syringe between tests using pure water or alternatively discard and use a new syringe
for each test.
Failure to thoroughly clean the measurement electrodes and syringe between tests may contaminate
subsequent tests and result in inaccurate readings.
The Elcometer 130 measurement electrodes are gold plated to prevent corrosion and oxidisation,
prolonging the life and accuracy of the gauge. They should be cleaned using pure water and the sensor
wipes supplied. DO NOT use abrasive materials as this will damage the electrodes.
