Co mpl et e Kit Graph-2 T hings to Know Bef o re U s e A few drops of water are added to the probe cap to keep the conductivity electrode in an activated state before the tester leaves factory. Generally, users can start using the tester directly. For conductivity electrode that hasn’t been used for a long time, users should soak the electrode in 12.88 mS calibration solution for 5-10 minutes or in tap water for 1 to 2 hours before use.

After calibration, place the probe in 12.88 mS/cm conductivity calibration solution. If the value is accurate, it is not necessary to conduct 2 point calibration. If it is inaccurate, follow the steps in 3) to 4) to complete the 2 point of calibration using 12.88 mS/cm calibration solution.
