Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of the EC400 Conductivity / Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) / Salinity / Temperature meter. The EC400 uses dynamic cell-constant technology, allowing one electrode to do the job of many. Careful use and maintenance will provide years of reliable service. Powering the Meter The EC400 uses four (4) CR2032 lithium-ion batteries (included).

Operation Sample Preparation For Conductivity, TDS or Salinity place the test sample in a sample cup with sufficient depth to cover the electrode (1 in. minimum). Stir the solution to remove air bubbles. Measurements 1. Press the ON button. The icons and SELF CAL will appear during the power- up diagnostics.

Auto Power OFF (APO) APO switches OFF the meter after 10 minutes of inactivity. APO Disable Switch ON the meter. Short press CAL/RECALL. Immediately long press the MODE/HOLD and ON/OFF buttons, simultaneously, for approximately 2 seconds, until oFF is briefly displayed. APO is now disabled. On the next power cycle, APO will be enabled again.

Calibration (Conductivity) Verify meter accuracy approximately once per month. If calibration is required, use a conductivity standard solution. The meter can be calibrated in any or all three of its ranges. ONLY standardizing solutions of 84µS/cm, 1413µS/cm, and/or 12.88mS/cm (12,880µS/cm) may be used for the automatic calibration recognition procedure.
