EP1310 EC-METER EC1210 AND PH-METER PH1210 _____________________________________________________________________________________________ OPERATING PROCEDURES OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 5.1.1. Main measuring EC measuring The model EC1210 is delivered with sensor already connected. Immerse the sensors in the sample. Press the key [MODE]. The meter will switch ON and it will show the scale of the last calibration and the date entered at the end of the last zero or sensitivity calibration or reset.
EP1310 EC-METER EC1210 AND PH-METER PH1210 _____________________________________________________________________________________________ 5.1.2. EC calibration The meter can perform the manual/automatic calibration with the recognition of the following KCl standard solutions: (only for 2000 μS, 20 mS, 200 mS scales). The recognition is performed when the reading is within ± 30% of the standard solution value.
