Setting the measuring mode
You can make the following settings in the Device / Set menu (default setting 
in bold):
TDS factor
The factor to calculate the total dissolved solids is set to 1.00 in the factory. 
You can adjust this factor to meet your requirements in the range of 0.40 to 
1.00. The factor is set in the menu for the parameter, TDS.
Temperature
compensation
The calculation of the temperature compensation is based on the preset 
reference temperature, 20 °C or 25 °C. The reference temperature is shown 
on the display.
-Temperature
coefficient
The temperature coefficient for the linear temperature compensation is set to 
2.000 %/K in the factory. You can adjust this factor to meet your requirements 
in the range 0.000 ... 3.000 %/K. The factor is set in the menu for the setting 
of the temperature compensation.
Note
More information on conductivity measurements is given in the WTW 
conductivity primer.
