Clean the sensor area with a neutral detergent using a soft cloth or sponge before and after use. 2. Description • The 390 measures the concentration of dissolved NaCl/TDS in liquids. • Simply immerse the tip into liquids to determine the NaCl/TDS content and temperature.
3 Functions Sensors Used to measure Salt concentration, TDS and Temperature. The surface is gold plated and the temperature sensor is contained inside. This area is waterproof. Power (ON/OFF) button Used to turn the power on and off. After use, the power turns off automatically within one minute. Measurement selection (MODE) button Used to select the measurement mode: Salt concentration(%), TDS(ppm, mg/L) or Temp.(℃).

6. Measuring Concentrations and Temperature (1) Turn the 390 on and the temperature is displayed. Fully immerse the sensor into the liquid to be measured. If a solid food is being measured, break it into pieces and dilute it with water. Allow approximately 10 seconds for the temperature to stabilize.
7. Battery Replacement & Troubleshooting Replace the battery when the symbol appears on the display. (1) Open the cover in the back of the main body and pull out the used battery. Insert a new battery (LR44) paying attention to the polarity (positive(+), negative(-)). Always replace each of the 3 cells with new ones at the same time. (2) Close the cover and turn on power to confirm whether the batteries were replaced correctly.
