General Introduction
Thank you for choosing the ECD Model 10C conductivity instrument.
The Model 10C is a precision tool for measuring conductivity,
salinity, TDS and temperature. A built-in microprocessor stores,
calculates and compensates for all parameters related to
conductivity and temperature determinations.
The H10C has an IP67 waterproof case. The mechanical keys are
highly reliable with tactile and audio feedback. This meter is
powered by four AAA-size alkaline batteries. The meter also displays
a “BAT” message when the batteries are in need of replacement. Re-
calibration is not required when power is restored.
The front of the meter has a large LCD that displays temperature
and either temperature compensated or non-temperature
compensated conductivity, salinity or TDS simultaneously with user
prompts and mode indicators. The unit prompts the user through
calibrations and measurement procedures.
The Model H10C is available with a single four wire conductivity cell
that measures from 2 µS to 200 mS. Its features include automatic
conductivity ranging, automatic temperature compensation, long
battery life and50/60 Hz AC noise rejection. This unit is universal in
application and user friendly for field, industrial and laboratory
applications.
Initial Inspection
Carefully unpack the unit and accessories. Inspect for damages made
in shipment. If any damage is found, notify your ECD representative
immediately. All packing materials should be saved until satisfactory
operation is confirmed.
Waterproof
Though the Model H10C meter is housed in a watertight case, DO
NOT use it underwater. The watertight case prevents permanent
damage to the unit if accidentally dropped into non-corrosive
solutions.
Follow these steps immediately if the unit is immersed in any
solution:
1. Rinse unit carefully with distilled water. After rinsing and
drying, inspect and clean connectors to remove all
contaminants that may affect probe connections.
