TAKING MEASUREMENTS • Immerse the probe into the solution to be tested. The sleeve holes must be completely submerged. • Tap the probe repeatedly to remove any air bubbles that may be trapped inside the sleeve. • If necessary, use the arrow keys to select the desired standard value.
CALIBRATION • Make sure the meter is calibrated before taking measurements. STANDARD CALIBRATION • If measurements are taken successively in EC (AD310) or TDS (AD410) calibration is a single different samples, for accurate reading it is point procedure. Selectable points are 0.00, 84.0 and recommended to rinse the probe thoroughly with 1413 μS/cm, 5.00, 12.88, 80.0 and 111.8 mS/cm for EC deionized water before immersing it into the...
TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION • If the temperature compensation is active, measurements are compensated using the Three options are available for temperature compensation: temperature coefficient (default value 1.90 %/°C). To change the temperature coefficient, enter the setup mode and select the “tc” item (see “Setup” 1.
