Part A: SciCon II Hardware Overview The SciCon II consists of two major components, the SciCon II Conductivity Monitor, with its power supply, and the Single-use SciCon II Sensor, with its cable. The Monitor is a small desktop package with a backlit display and seven buttons for easy interface and menu selections.
(LCD). The display is backlit to allow easy viewing over a wide range of lighting conditions. The keypad consists of seven keys whose function does not change. These keys are used for basic control and programming of the SciCon II. The basic key definitions are: MENU Allows entry into the parameter settings menu.
Printer/PC: RS232 output, Female DB9, A printer cable (P/N 080-096) is required to make the connection between the printer and the SciCon II, or a Parker RS-232 to USB adapter cable (P/N 080-USB) to connect the SciCon II to a PC for data archival.

Part B: SciCon II Software Overview The SciCon II Conductivity Monitor, upon connection to the Sensor, reads the stored Sensor ID and calibration data, displaying it as it is read. The Monitor then displays the measured conductivity and temperature. The data is displayed digitally as well as an analog display of % full scale. The Menu allows the setting of concentration units (ppm of NaCl, KCl, and 442 are also available), the high and low analog range settings as well as the temperature reference and coefficient. The user may also adjust the baud rate and print time and configure user‐defined Hi/Low conductivity and temperature alarms. The system is equipped with a user assigned Supervisor Password. When it is zero, it is disabled. Any other number up to 9999 can be used and is required to access any menus. The display is updated continuously, and data is output via the RS‐232 point at 5 second intervals by default. This frequency may be adjusted by the user from 1 to 60 seconds. ...

COLD ROOM MODE: Improves performance in rooms at approximately 4 °C. (Anything considerably colder than ambient) Default – OFF. TEMP COEFF: Temperature Coefficient, used when turned on above, 0.0 – 5.00 % / °C. Default is 1.90 % / °C. Serial: Displays the RS‐232 serial output parameters. Only baud rate can be changed. Available rates are 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 28800, 38400 and 57600. Default = 9600 PRINT TIME: Sets the data output interval, 1 to 60 sec. Default = 5 sec. HI – ALARM: Used to set High Conductivity Alarm, value should be within High and Low Range set above. Default = 0 µS LO – ALARM: Used to set Low Conductivity Alarm, value should be within High and Low Range set above. Default = 0 µS HI – ALARM: Set High Temperature Alarm, Max 50 °C. Default = 0.0 °C. LO – ALARM: Set Low Temperature Alarm, Max 50 °C. Default = 0.0 °C. PASSWORD: A numerical Password may be entered, with 0 being the default value, and equivalent to No Password. Once entered, the Password is required to enter any menu on the SciCon II Monitor. Call Parker Technical Support if the password must be reset. FACTORY RESET: Used to restore the SciCon II Conductivity Monitor to the factory default values. Change No to Yes using the arrow keys and press “Enter” to reset, change No to Yes on the “Are You Sure?” screen and press “Enter” again to finish the process. SET TIME/DATE… Press Enter to modify the Time Date Stamp used by the SciCon II internal clock. Press Menu to bypass and return to the top of the menu or Exit to leave the menu. TIME: Use the up / down arrows to change the time in the system. The format is 24 hour time, HH:MM. Press Enter to save. MONTH: Use the up / down arrows to change the Month. Press Enter to save. DAY OF MONTH: Use the up / down arrows to change the Day of the Month. Press Enter to save. YEAR: Use the up / down arrows to change the Year. Press Enter to save.
