There is one socket “COND.” for conductivity electrode. Meter stand for adjusting view angle One unique design of the STARTER 3100C is the meter stand, which can be used to adjust the view angle of the display in case of working on high lab table.
EN-8 STARTER 3100C Bench Conductivity Meter SETUP Set temperature unit Power the meter on by pressing Press and hold until the set up icon appears on the display and the current temperature unit blinks. (°C or °F) buttons to select temperature unit .
STARTER 3100C Bench Conductivity Meter EN-9 buttons to adjust the temperature correction value. (0.00 to 10.00 %/°C). Press to confirm your setting. Continue with reference temperature setting by following or press to go back to the measurement screen. Note: If you set the temperature correction coefficient value as 0 %/°C , that means NO Temperature Compensation for the conductivity measurement.
Calibration 4.1.1 Selecting a standard When using the STARTER 3100C conductivity meter, you have to select a standard for calibration (see 3.3). Press and hold the enter setup mode, after press to confirm the temperature unit and value.
STARTER 3100C Bench Conductivity Meter EN-11 When in Auto End Point Mode, the meter determines when the reading is stable then displays and locks the reading or calibration value automatically, the reading freezes and blinks 3 times then disappears; blinks 3 times and freezes on the display.
