3. MEASUREMENT PROCEDURES:
See page 4 for button locations.
Factory Preset Meter Defaults: Conductivity (uS, mS), °C, Temperature Com-
pensation (ATC) Factor of 2% per °C, Auto Range, Auto Power Off, and 2-
Second Data Logger Sampling Time. To change default settings, see
"ADVANCED ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES" on page 6.
3-A. General Measurement
Insert the PROBE PLUG (17) into the PROBE INPUT (12) and turn the
meter on pressing the POWER (2) button.
Hold the PROBE HANDLE (19) and immerse the SENSOR HEAD (18)
into the solution sample to be measured. Gently shake the probe to re-
lease any air bubbles.
The sample's conductivity mS (uS) and the temperature are displayed.
See item 4-F, page 8 for instructions on changing between °C and °F.
See item 4-G, page 8 for instructions on changing the Automatic Tempera-
ture Compensation (ATC) Factor.
The instructions for measuring TDS are the same as the instructions for
measuring Conductivity. See item 4-H, page 8 for instructions on chang-
ing between Conductivity (uS, mS) and TDS (PPM) measurement.
To display the time (h-m-s) or date (y-m-d) during use, press the CLOCK
(7) button.
Press the POWER (2) button to turn the unit off.
3-B. Auto and Manual Range Modes

200uS, 2MS 20 mS and 200 mS.
If the out-of-range indicator "- - - - -" appears at the bottom of the display,
select a lower range, and if it appears at the top of the display, select a
higher range.
To switch to Auto Range, press and hold the RANGE (6) button for at least
