Instruction Manual CON 510 INTRODUCTION Thank you for selecting the CON510 bench meter. This meter is a microprocessor-based instrument that is designed to offer advanced yet user-friendly features for discerning users - ideal for laboratory and plant applications. It measures Conductivity, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) and temperature ( F).
Instruction Manual CON 510 Keypad The splash-proof membrane tactile keypad allows easy key entry. Each button, when pressed, has a corresponding graphic icon or indicator displayed on LCD. Some buttons have several functions depending on its mode of operation. Function ON/OFF Powers on and shuts off the meter.
Instruction Manual CON 510 PREPARATION Conductivity Electrode Information The CON510 bench meter is supplied with a Conductivity/TDS electrode (with a sturdy locking 6-pin connector). This Conductivity/TDS electrode (Code No: ECCONSEN91W/ 35608-50) comes with Stainless Steel rings, cell constant of K = 1.0, and a built-in temperature sensor for Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC).
Instruction Manual CON 510 Connecting the Electrode Holder The integral electrode holder serves as a handy holder for a few electrodes or a separate temperature probe during measurement or when not in use. This bench meter’s base plate has a side metal bar to which you can attach an integral swivel electrode holder.
Instruction Manual CON 510 CALIBRATION Important Information on Meter Calibration The CON 510 bench meter allows you to perform automatic calibration (only for Conductivity mode) or manual calibration (applicable to both Conductivity/TDS mode). The meter can calibrate either single point or multi-point up to 5 calibration points (manual mode) with a maximum of 1 point in each measurement range.
Instruction Manual CON 510 Normalization Temperature: The factory default value for normalization temperature is 25 °C. If you need to normalize to a value other than 25 °C, see SETUP sub-menu P4.2. Preparing the Meter for Calibration Before starting calibration, make sure you are in the correct measurement mode. Otherwise press MODE key to toggle between measurement modes.
Instruction Manual CON 510 Automatic Calibration (Only for Conductivity) In the automatic calibration mode, the CON 510 bench meter is capable of accepting either single-point or up to 4 points for multi-point calibration with maximum of 1 point per specific measurement range using known calibration standards values which include: 84 µS/cm (0 –...
Instruction Manual CON 510 Manual Calibration (Conductivity/TDS) The meter accepts either single point or multi-point (up to 5 points) manual calibration with maximum of 1 point per measurement range. Freshly prepare your standards solution before calibration. Refer to the table in Section 4.1 for more details of the MEAS recommended standards calibration range.
Instruction Manual CON 510 Temperature Calibration The Conductivity electrode (EC-CONSEN91W/ 35608-50) has a built-in temperature sensor for ATC. The temperature sensor is factory calibrated to the meter. Calibrate your sensor only if you suspect temperature errors that may have occurred over a long period of time or if you have a replacement probe.
Instruction Manual CON 510 MEASUREMENT The CON 510 bench meter measures up to 5 different measurement ranges with auto-ranging capability which automatically detects and promptly switches to the appropriate range. The meter also allows measurements to be taken with automatic or manual temperature compensation. The factory default is ATC on. ATC basically compensates for any temperature variances of measured sample solution temperature automatically from the normalization temperature set.
Instruction Manual CON 510 Manual Temperature Compensation NOTE: For manual temperature compensation, you must deactivate the ATC mode to ‘nO’ as shown in SETUP sub- menu P3.3. 5.2.1 Setting a manual temperature compensation value To set manual temperature compensation value, you need to determine and enter the desired temperature value into the meter.
Instruction Manual CON 510 Using Manual Ranging Function Although the CON 510 bench meter has an automatic ranging capability, you may also manually select any specific measurement range you wish to work on by pressing RANGE each time for every range. MEAS READY Range...
Instruction Manual CON 510 MEMORY AND DATA INPUT FUNCTIONS Memory Input The meter’s non-volatile memory can store and recall up to 50 data sets which include MEAS Conductivity and temperature or TDS and temperature. Data sets are retained even if READY the power is shut off unless these stored data sets are being overwritten by new ones.
Instruction Manual CON 510 SETUP FUNCTIONS The setup mode allows you to customize the meter’s setting to your individual preferences. The CON510 meter features different main program menus and sub-menus which organize individual parameters like a matrix-format. Details of each main program menu: P1.0: Viewing previous calibration data - all calibrated solutions for each range P2.0:...
Instruction Manual CON 510 P5.0: Mode of Calibration SETUP Selection of Automatic or Manual Calibration (only in Conductivity mode) Selection of Single or Multi-point Calibration P6.0: Selecting cell constant SETUP Selecting cell constant K: 0.1, 1.0, 10.0 P7.0: Reset to factory defaults SETUP Reset meter to factory defaults SETUP...
Instruction Manual CON 510 P2.0: Viewing Electrode Diagnosis Main program 2.0 shows the effective cell constant for each range being calibrated. The SETUP cell constant is adjusted according to your calibration options that let you check the probe’s parameters for diagnostic purposes. From measurement mode, press SETUP key to enter into setup [SETUP] mode.

Instruction Manual CON 510 P3.2 Selecting °C or °F You can select between °C and °F as unit of measure for temperature readings. Meter default is °C. SETUP From measurement mode, press SETUP key to enter into Setup [SETUP] mode. Use MI/▲...
Instruction Manual CON 510 P3.4 Setting the TDS factor (In TDS Mode) The concentration of salts dissolved in solution increases the conductivity of that solution. This relationship varies from salt to salt and is roughly linear over a given range for a given salt.

Instruction Manual CON 510 P4.2 Adjusting the Normalization Temperature Your meter will normalize its conductivity measurements to a standard temperature that you can select. You can adjust the normalization temperature from 15 to 30 °C (59 to SETUP 86 °F). Meter default is 25.0 °C (77 °F). From measurement mode, press SETUP to enter into setup [SETUP] mode.
Instruction Manual CON 510 P5.0 Mode of calibration The CON 510 bench meter allows you to perform automatic (only for Conductivity SETUP mode) or manual calibration (applicable to both Conductivity/TDS mode). Similarly you may choose to perform either single-point or multi-point calibration (up to 4 preset calibration standards in automatic calibration mode).
Instruction Manual CON 510 P6.0 Selecting the cell constant This program allows you to select the appropriate cell constant of K = 0.1, 1.0 or 10.0 which is suitable for measurement range being used. SETUP Use a cell of K = 1.0 for mid-range measurements Use a cell of K = 10 for high range measurements (above 20 mS or 10 ppt).
Instruction Manual CON 510 P7.0: Resetting to factory default settings Program 7.0 allows you to reset all parameters to factory default settings. This clears all SETUP calibration data, memory, and any other setup functions you might have changed. IMPORTANT: Once activated the meter’s settings and calibration data will be erased and always exercise caution as meter reset is not reversible.
Instruction Manual CON 510 PROBE CARE AND MAINTENANCE Keep the Conductivity/TDS probe clean. Rinse the probe twice, and gently swirl it while you take readings. For best accuracy, soak a dry probe for at least 5 to 10 minutes or longer before calibration.

Instruction Manual CON 510 13 NOTE: CONDUCTIVITY AND TDS SOLUTIONS HAVE ±1 % ACCURACY AT 25°C ADDENDUM 1: CALIBRATION TIPS You only need one calibration for measurement throughout the entire range of the meter. If a range was not calibrated, the meter automatically detects the closest range calibrated and uses that calibration information.
