BASIC OPERATION Powering the TRACER The Tracer uses four CR2032 Lithium Ion batteries. If the batteries are weak, indicator will appear on the display. Press the ON/OFF key to turn the TRACER on or off. The auto power off feature will shut the TRACER off automatically after 10 minutes after the last button push.
Changing the Displayed Temperature Units To change the displayed temperature units between °F or °C: With the TRACER off, press and hold the CAL/RECALL button. With the CAL/RECALL button pressed, momentarily press the ON/OFF SELF CAL button. When appears in the display, release the CAL/RECALL button.
TESTING Getting Started Remove the cap from the bottom of the TRACER to expose the electrode. Before the fi rst use, rinse the electrode in deionized water and dry. Changing the Measurement Function The meter can be set to measure Conductivity, TDS (ppm), TDS (mg/L) or Salinity (ppm).
Measurement 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. Immerse the TRACER electrode in the sample. Make sure the electrode is completely submersed. Press the ON/OFF button. (8888 and then SELF CAL will appear in the display during the initial diagnos- tics).
Recalling Stored Readings NOTE: First ensure that the HOLD symbol is not displayed. If it is, exit the HOLD function by pressing the MODE/HOLD button. Press the CAL/RECALL button and then press the MODE/HOLD button; the location number (1 through 25) will briefl y appear and then the value stored in that location will appear.
CALIBRATION (SALT/TDS) For the most accurate results, allow suffi cient time for the temperature of the probe to reach the temperature of the sample before calibrating. This will be indicated by a stable temperature reading on the display Meter accuracy verifi cation should be performed on a periodic/monthly basis as needed.

MAINTENANCE Care/Storage of Electrode Always rinse the electrode in distilled, tap or deionized water between measurements to avoid cross contamination. Double rinsing is recommended when high accuracy is required. Store the electrode dry with the cap on. Do not touch the electrodes. Touching the surface of the platinized electrodes may damage and reduce the life of the electrodes.
