2 INSTALLATION
Carefully unpack the meter.
2.1 Package contents
The model ST300C-B (Basic Model)should have the following items
In addition to ST300C-B content, the ST300C Kit also includes the conductivity electrode
STCON3:
The best measurement range for STCON3 4-ring (4-pole) cond. electrode is 70 μS/cm-200mS/cm.
In this range the measurement accuracy can reach 0.5%.
If you use STCON3 to measure pure water in which conductivity value is below 70 μS/cm, the
measurement will be less accurate (approximately 1% to 5%).
Does not use STCON3 to measure conductivity value less than 2 μS/cm, the accuracy is > +/-5%.

4 STARTER 300C OPERATION
WARNING Do not operate the equipment in hazardous environments. The
equipment is not explosion protected.
WARNING When using chemicals and solvents, comply with the instructions of the
chemical producer and the general lab safety rules.
4.1 Calibration
4.1.1 Selecting a standard
Always begin by calibrating your conductivity electrode. When using the STARTER 300C
conductivity meter, you must select a standard for calibration. (See 3.3)
Press and hold the to enter setup mode and set calibration standard. Use or
buttons to select and press to confirm. Press to leave setup mode.
The four predefined calibration standards are:
10 μS/cm
84 μS/cm
1413 μS/cm
12.88 mS/cm
Tables for automatic temperature compensation are programmed in the meter for each standard
(see appendix 7.1).
4.1.2 Performing a calibration
When performing calibration, Ohaus recommends using Auto End Point Mode. After powering
the meter on, be sure the top of the screen shows to ensure the meter is in Auto End point
Mode.
Auto or Manual End point Mode:
oPress and hold to change the End Point Mode.
oWhen in Manual Mode, to manually reach a measurement or calibration value, you
need to press button- when reading is stable and displays : then the
sample reading or calibration value freezes, blinks 3 times and freezes on
the display.
oWhen in Auto End Point Mode, the meter determines when the reading is stable
then displays and locks the reading or calibration value automatically, the reading
freezes and blinks 3 times then disappears; blinks 3 times and freezes on
the display.

STARTER 300C Portable Conductivity Meter EN-9
Be sure the conductivity electrode is securely attached to the meter and place it in the defined
calibration standard, wait 10-15s, and press .
The calibration icon and the measurement icon appear on the display. The measurement
icon is blinking during calibration measurement. The meter reaches the end points according to
the preselected endpoint mode .
When the calibration is finished, the standard value is displayed and stored; the measurement
icon blinks 3 times and disappears. Then, the endpoint stability and auto endpoint icon
blinks 3 times and freezes on the display. If the calibration was ended manually (by pressing
), then only endpoint stability icon blinks 3 times and freezes on the display.
To finish the calibration and return to the sample measurement, press . The cell constant is
then shown on the display for 3 seconds.
To reject the calibration, press before the meter returns automatically to the measurement
screen.
Note:
To ensure the most accurate conductivity readings, you should verify your cell constant with a
standard solution before measurement and recalibrate if necessary. Always use fresh standards.
For STCON3 the normal cell constant range is 1.50 –2.00. (e.g. 1.71 /cm) if the cell constant is
outside the range due to an improper calibration, you may need to recover factory settings (see
5.4) , then repeat calibration.
4.2 Sample measurement
Place the conductivity electrode in the sample, wait 10-15 seconds, then press to start the
measurement. The measurement icon appears on the display. The measurement icon is
blinking during measurement and the display shows the conductivity value of the sample. When
measurement reading reaches endpoints (auto endpoint or manual endpoint); you can record the
endpoint reading result.
By pressing and holding , you can switch between the auto and manual endpoint modes.
Stability criterion for conductivity measurement: The sensor input signal of the meter may not
change by more than 0.4% from the measured average conductivity of the probe in 6 seconds.
4.3 TDS measurement
To perform a TDS measurement, follow the same procedure as for a conductivity measurement.
Press to switch between conductivity and TDS measurement mode.

Any more problems, you can contact Ohaus sales rep.
5.2 Meter maintenance
Never unscrew the two halves of the housing!
The STARTER 300C does not require any maintenance other than replacement of depleted
batteries. To clean, use a damp cloth.
The housing is made of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS). This material is susceptible to
damage by some organic solvents, such as toluene, xylene and methyl ethyl ketone (MEK). Any
spillage should be immediately wiped off.
5.3 Self diagnosis
Press and hold and simultaneously until the meter displays the full screen. Each icon
blinks one after the other. This way you may check whether all icons are correctly shown. The
next step is to check that the keys are functioning correctly. This requires user interaction.
When b
b

key an icon disappears from the screen, continue to press the other keys until all the icons have
disappeared. When the self-diagnosis has been completed successfully, PAS appears. If self-
diagnosis fails, error message Err 1 appears .
Note: You have to finish pressing all five keys within two minutes, otherwise Err 1 appears and
you will have to repeat the procedure.
5.4 Recover factory settings
When the meter is off, press and hold & & together for 3 seconds, the
screen displays “RST”and blinks, press to reset factory settings (MTC, slope and
offset, etc.).
