6. Press EXIT to return to Normal Mode without saving change.
To calculate the temperature compensation coe󰀩cient:
1. Set temperature coe󰀩cient to 0%.
2. Put conductivity probe into the standard calibration solution.
3. After 5 minutes record the rst temperature reading and the
corresponding conductivity value.
4. Heat or cool the solution. After a change of 5° to 10°C record
the second temperature reading along with the corresponding
conductivity value.
5. Calculate temperature coe󰀩cient by formula below:
Fig. A Fig. B
TC = temperature coe󰀩cient
CT1 = conductivity value when temperature is 1
CT2 = conductivity value when temperature is 2
T1 = temperature value 1
T2 = temperature value 2

MEASUREMENT PROCEDURES
Note…
If the ATC Temperature Probe is not connected, the display will
read as in Fig. A. No measurement can be performed until the
ATC jack is connected.
Fig. A
Auto Ranging:
The meter will measure conductivity in the μS/cm and mS/cm
scales and will calculate the TDS value in ppm or ppt according to
the TDS conversion coe󰀩cient that was entered in the TDS Factor
set up procedure.
During measurement and calibration this meter will automatically
select the correct range. Measurement ranges are as follows:
Conductivity TDS
10.00-19.99 μS/cm 0.00-9.99 ppm
20.0-199.9 μS/cm 10.0-99.9 ppm
30-1999 μS/cm 100-999 ppm
40.00-19.99 mS/cm 1.00-9.99 ppt
5 0.0-199.9 mS/cm 10.0-199.9 ppt
