4. MEASURING PROCEDURE
4-1 Salt measurement
1)Turn on the meter by pressing the " Power Button "
( 3-3, Fig. 1 ) momentarily.
* Press the " Power Button " ( 3-3, Fig. 1 )
momentarily again will turn off the meter.
The " Display " ( 3-2, Fig. 1 ) will show the unit as :
0.00
%
Now the meter is ready for the measurement.
2)Hold the meter by hand and immerse the " Salt Sensing
Head " ( 3-6, Fig. 1 ) immersed wholly into the
measured solution. Shake the " Sensing Head " to
let the electrode's internal air bubble drift out from the
" Sensing Head ".
" Display " ( 3-2, Fig. 1 ) will show the salt value in
and salt ( % weight value ).

Fig. 2
When make the
measurement should
immerse the " Sensing
Head " immersed
wholly into the measured
solution.
3)The " Sensing Head " build in the temperature sensor
for the usage of automatic Temp. compensation. If
the temperature of measured salt solution is changed,
then it should take few minutes to let the display
reading reach the stable value.
4-2 Data Hold
1)During the measurement, press the " Hold Button "
( 3-4, Fig. 1 ) momentarily to hold the measured
value. The LCD will show a " HOLD " symbol.
2)Press the " Hold Button " once again to release the
data hold function.
4-3 Data Record ( Max., Min. reading )
1)The data record function records the maximum and
minimum readings. Press the " REC Button " ( 3-5, Fig. 1 )
momentarily to start the Data Record function,
shows " REC " on the display.
2)With the " REC " symbol on the display.
a)Press the " REC Button " ( 3-5, Fig. 1 ) momentarily,

6. REPLACEMENT OF BATTERY
1)When the LCD display show " " ,
it is necessary to replace the battery. However, in-spec
measurement may still be made for several hours after
Low Battery Indicator appears before the instruments
instrument become inaccurate.
2)To replace the battery, rotate and remove the
" Battery Cover " ( 3-1, Fig. 1 ), take out the old
batteries, install new batteries :
DC 1.5V battery ( UM-4/AAA ) x 4 PCs.
3)When install the batteries, should make attention
the battery polarity.
4)After install the batteries, reinstall the battery cover
again.

4)Use the " Up button " , " Down button " to select the desired calibration
value, then wait about 5 second, the calibration data will saved into
the memory circuit, and finish the calibration procedures.
Note :
During execute the calibration procedures and before not finish
the complete calibration procedures, if intend to exit the calibration
procedure, then just press the " Hold button" to exit.
