Notes: • The probe should be submerged approximately 4 cm (1½") into the solution. The thermometer has to be close to the probe. • If turning the knob the needed value can not be reached, clean the probe (see the “Probe Maintenance” section). If also after the probe cleaning the value can not be reached, replace the probe.

The TDS value in aqueous solutions is directly proportional to the conductivity. The ratio between the two parameters depends on the solution. HI 9811-5 model has a fixed conversion factor set to 0.5. This means that 1 µS/cm is equal to 0.5 mg/L of TDS.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT BATTERY REPLACEMENT BATTERY REPLACEMENT BATTERY REPLACEMENT BATTERY REPLACEMENT These meters are powered by a 9V battery that is located on the rear of the instrument. When battery symbol is empty a low battery condition is indicated. When the low battery indication appears, only a few hours of working time remains.
PROBE MAINTENANCE PROBE MAINTENANCE PROBE MAINTENANCE PROBE MAINTENANCE PROBE MAINTENANCE PERIODIC MAINTENANCE Inspect the probe and the cable. The cable used for the connection to the meter must be intact and there must be no points of broken insulation on the cable or cracks on the probe stem or bulb. Connector must be perfectly clean and dry.
