1. Brief Instruction :
Thanks for buying and using the model AB-T-TDS Conductivity Meter (the
following called “meter” in short. Before using this meter, please read the
operation manual carefully in order to help use and maintain it correctly. On
the basis of improving instrument of performance constantly, we reserve the
right of changing the content of this manual and accessories in case of not
notifying in advance. This meter is a perfect combination with the most
advanced electronic technology, sensor technology and software design. This
meter can measure the parameters of conductivity and temperature for high
accuracy solution.
This meter has the following prominent features:
Built-in microprocessor chip, with the intelligent functions of automatic
calibration, automatic/manual operation temperature compensation, data
storage, function setting and data export. Adopts digital filter and step slipping
technology to intelligently improve meters' response speed and result
accuracy will appear when reading to be stable.
With the new type of conductivity electrode and temperature electrode, the
conductivity measurement mode has the function of automatic temperature
compensation. At the same time, it can measure RES, TDS and SAL more
conveniently and accurately.

4.2.1. Press “CAL” key to enter the calibration mode, displays “CAL” on the
screen, indicating to enter the calibration mode.
4.2.2.Wash the Conductivity & Temperature Electrode in pure water and dry
it, then immerse them into the 1413µs/cm calibration solution, shake
the electrodes and place them statically, when the measurement value
is stable and show “ ”,then press the “OK” key, display 1413 µs/cm,
confirm the calibration is correct then press the “OK” key to complete
the calibration, and save the data press “OK” key to exit the calibration
mode, The icon “L M” will appear on the screen.
4.2.3. This instrument also has a unique single point calibration function. It
should be calibrated according to the conductivity of the water sample
and the calibration solution are as close as possible. The commonly
used calibration solution is 1413 µs/cm, using the K=1 electrode, it can
be used in measurement range less than 100ms /cm. Other calibration
points are (L) 84 µs/cm, (M) 1413 µs/cm, (H) 12.88ms/cm or (H)
111.9 ms/cm.
4.3. Instrument Measurement
4.3.1. Clean and dry the conductivity electrode, put it in sample solution with
the temperature electrode, stir it and place stable, when the
measurement value is stable and LCD appears the icon “ ” then
read it out, which is the measurement value of the conductivity solution.
4.3.2. Short press “DOWN” key can simultaneously display resistivity values,
TDS values and salinity values corresponding to conductivity values.
3.2.4. ESC/PRN – Return Key / Print Key
(a) Under measurement mode, it is used as printing key and can be
printed directly through Bluetooth printer.
(b) Under non - measuring mode, it is used as a return key.
3.2.5. SET – Enter System Setting
