When setting J1 to open, we recommend that it is fitted to one of the pins. This is a safe place to keep it, in case the microCHEM-Sal needs to be reset for 0 to 1 V DC output in the future. -
Page 9: Calibration
3. Calibration 3.1 Calibration Procedure 1. Switch the microCHEM-Sal on. 1. Ensure that the Salinity/TDS sensor is correctly connected (see section 2.4). 2. For the GK-1 sensor (part no 112206), ensure that the white protective cover is fitted with the vent hole towards the cable end of the sensor. - Page 10 10. When the reading has stabilised, adjust the SPAN control until the output corresponds to the value shown in the Calibration Data table in section 3.3.

6. Appendices 6.1 Re-setting the Measurement Range The range of the microCHEM-Sal may be re-set using the table of jumper settings shown below. Refer to the diagram in section 2.1 for the location of the A and B range jumper blocks. Attach spare jumpers off single unused pins for safe storage. -
Page 19: Care, Cleaning And Maintenance Of Salinity/Tds Electrodes
6.2.1 Care of Salinity/TDS electrodes The Salinity/TDS section of the electrode supplied with your microCHEM-Sal consists of two platinum wires that are plated with a layer of “platinum-black”. This is quite a soft layer and is required for stable, accurate measurements. In time, the platinum-black layer may wear off in some applications, at which time the electrode will require replatinising (see section 6.2.3). - Page 20 Replatinising Salinity/TDS Electrodes There are several ways to replatinise Salinity/TDS electrodes. 1. The simplest way is to return the electrode to the TPS factory. We can fully clean the electrode, replatinise it and test all aspects of its performance. 1. An automatic replatiniser is available from TPS, along with replatinising solution.
