POWER CONNECTION
Plug the 12 Vdc adapter into the power supply socket.
Note: These instruments use non volatile memory to retain the meter settings, even when unplugged.
PROBE CONNECTION
For conductivity, resistivity, TDS or salinity measurements connect a conductivity probe to the DIN connector
located on the rear panel of the instrument.
INSTRUMENT START UP
• Turn the instrument on from the power switch located on the rear panel of the instrument.
• Please wait until the instrument finishes the initialization process.
Note: It is normal for the loading process to take a few seconds. If the instrument doesn’t display the next
screen, restart the meter using the power switch. If the problem persists, contact your dealer.

For each measurement mode (Conductivity, Resistivity, TDS or Salinity) the following display configurations
are available: Basic, Good Laboratory Practice (GLP), Graph and Log History.
Basic
Accessing this option, the measured value and its units are dis-
played on the LCD, along with the temperature value, temperature
compensation mode, and minimal GLP data.
To choose the Basic displaying mode:
• Press while in
Measure mode. The “Choose Display
Configuration” message will be displayed in the Reminder
messages area.
• Press . The instrument will display the basic informa-
tion for the selected measurement mode.
GLP
Accessing this option, a detailed GLP data will be displayed on the
LCD for conductivity and salinity (Percent Scale only)
measure
modes: Last Calibration Date and Time, Cell Constant, Probe
Offset, Reference Temperature, Compensation Coefficient, Tem-
perature Compensation.
To access the GLP displaying mode:
• Press while in
Measure mode. The “Choose Display
Configuration” message will be displayed in the Reminder
messages area.
• Press . The instrument will display the detailed GLP
data.
