  • Page 7: General Information

    2 GENERAL INFORMATION The HD 8706-R1 is normally supplied with the combined 4-electrode and temperature probe SPT06. The cell measurement area is bounded by a Pocan tube. A positioning key, directs correctly the insertion of the tube into the probe.
  • Page 8 ENGLISH For measuring temperature, probes are available for air (TP 870/A), for contact (TP 870/C), with a penetration point (TP 870/P) and for immersion (TP 870). The measuring range with these probes is from -50°C (-58°F) to +200°C (+392°F), while with the built-in sensor in the conductimetry cell measurements are limited to +90°C.
  • Page 9: Automatic Calibration

    ENGLISH 3.1 AUTOMATIC CALIBRATION Automatic calibration is possible with a 0.1-mole (or 0.01-mole) solution of KCI. The temperature of the solution must be between 15°C (59°F) and 30°C (86°F), otherwise the error signal “E3” appears. a) Switch on the instrument by pressing the key.
  • Page 10: Manual Calibration

    ENGLISH 3.2 VARIATION OF THE REFERENCE TEMPERATURE IN CONDUCTIVITY MEASUREMENTS In conductivity measurements it is possible to change the reference tem- perature, choosing between the values of 20°C and 25°C. When the instrument leaves the factory it is set to operate with reference temperature 20°C;...
  • Page 11: Temperature Compensation

    ENGLISH keys, set the conductivity value determined at point c. If the conduc- tivity of the calibration solution is very different from the one used in automatic calibration, “E1” (slope >150% of the rated value) or “E2” (slope <30% of the rated value) is displayed. In both cases it is suffi- cient to press the key to cancel the error signal.

    ENGLISH electrode immersed in the liquid just over the soil sediment. The con- ductivity found must be expressed in µS/cm at the temperature of 20°C (25°C). The salinity of the soil is calculated with the formula: 0.32 • 1000 where: S = salinity of the soil in 100 gr of soil 20 (25) = conductivity expressed in µS 20°C (25°C) The measured values allow the regulation of the dose fertilizer of in the...
  • Page 18: Low Battery Warning And Battery Replacement

    ENGLISH LOW BATTERY WARNING AND BATTERY REPLACEMENT If the battery voltage falls below acceptable levels, a beep sounds every 30 seconds. From that moment there remains about 1 hour autonomous oper- ation, however the battery should be replaced as soon as possible. To change the battery turn the battery retaining screw in an anti-clockwise direction.

    ENGLISH MAINTENANCE Storage conditions Temperature: -20...+60°C. Humidity: less than 90% relative humidity. Don not store the instrument in places where: 1) There is a high degree of humidity 2) The instrument is exposed to direct sunlight 3) The instrument is exposed to a source of high temperature 4) There are strong vibrations 5) There is steam, salt and/or corrosive gas.
