pleasecheckthatfreshbatteriesareinstalled.

AutomaticandManualRanging

TherearetworangesavailableRange1(0.00to10.00ppt)andRange2(10.1to70.0ppt).The

meterdefaultstotheAUTORangemodewhereoneofthesetworangesisselected

automaticallytoprovidethebestresolutionandaccuracyforeachgivenmeasurement.

However,MANUALRangemodecanalsobeusedwhererange1andrange2canbeselected

manually.



5. PressandholdtheUParrowbutton,thenumber1(range1)willappearonthelower

rightoftheLCDand‘ran’(range)willappearatthecenteroftheLCD.

6. Releasethebuttonandthemeterwillbeforcedintorange1.

7. PressandholdtheUParrowbuttonagain,thenumber2(range2)willappearonthelower

rightoftheLCDand‘ran’(range)willappearatthecenteroftheLCD.

8. Releasethebuttonandthemeterwillbeforcedintorange2.

9. PressandholdtheUParrowbuttonagain,‘ATo’willappearonthelowerLCDareaindicating

thatthemeterisonceagainintheAUTORangemode.

MeasurementPreparations,Notes,andConsiderations

Accuracyisgivenas%full‐scale;thereforeusingthelowestrangewillyieldthebest

accuracy.

Themeter’sdisplaywillindicateE02orE03ifthemeasuredvalueisbelow(E02)orabove

(E03)specifiedlimitsofthemeter.Ifthisoccurs,pleaseselectanotherrangeasdescribedin

theManualRangediscussioninpreviousparagraph.

Thetemperaturecoefficientisfixedandcannotbeadjusted.

Thenormalization(reference)temperatureisfixed(25oC);thenominalvalueiscorrectfor

mostapplications.

Rinsetheprobewithdeionizedordistilledwaterbeforeusetoremoveimpuritiesthatmay

adheretotheelectrode.Whenthemeterhasbeenidleforalongperiod,soaktheelectrode

foratleast30minutesbeforeuse.

Whendippingtheprobeintoasamplesolution,besuretoeliminateairbubblestrappedin

theprobe’sslot.Toremoveairbubbles,givetheprobeagentlestirwhilesubmergedinthe

solution.

Whentakingameasurement,stirtheprobegentlyinthesampletocreateahomogenous

sample.Allowafewsecondstoelapsefortheprobeandthesampletoreachtemperature

equilibrium.Ideally,wait15minutestoachievemaximumaccuracyandbesttemperature

compensation.

Theunitofmeasureiconwillflashonthemeter’sdisplaywhilestabilizationistakingplacein

measurementmode.Whenstabilizationisachieved,themeter’siconwillstopflashing.

PresstheHOLDbuttontofreezeadisplayedreading.Pressagaintoreleasethedisplay.

SalinityMeasurement

1. ReadtheMeasurementPreparationsectionabovebeforecontinuing.

2. Inserttheelectrodeintothesampleensuringthattheelectrodesarecompletelysubmersed.

3. Slowlystirthesolutionwiththeelectrodetoremoveairbubbles.

4. ThemeterusestheAuto‐rangeutilitytofindtheproperrangeandthendisplaysthesalinity

readingatthecenteroftheLCDwiththetemperaturereadingshownonthelowerLCDarea

insmallerdigits.

FinishingaMeasurementSession

Afterameasurementsession:

Rinsetheelectrodeindeionizedordistilledwaterandstoredry.

Affixtheprotectivecapovertheelectrodewhenstoring.

Iftheunitistobeleftun‐unusedforlongperiods,removeandstorethebatteriesseparately.

AutomaticPowerOFF(Sleepmode)

ThemeterwillautomaticallyswitchOFFafter20minutesofinactivity.TodisabletheSleep

Mode:Withtheinstrumentswitchedoff,pressandholdtheSETandHLD/CALbuttons

simultaneouslyuntilthe‘n’iconappearsonthedisplay.Releasethebuttonsandthemeterwill

powerup.ThemeterwillnowstayswitchedONuntiltheusermanuallyswitchesitOFF.The

meterrevertstothe‘SleepModeactive’stateeachtimeitispowereddown.

Calibration

CalibrationPreparationandConsiderations

Theusermustfirstdetermine:

1.Thebestcalibrationschedulefortheapplicationathand.

2.Whatcalibrationstandardtouse.



CalibrationSchedule

Calibrationisnecessaryandshouldbeperformedregularly.

Ifmeasuringinthemid‐rangescalibratethemeteratleastoncepermonthandsoakthe

probedeionizedorfor15minutesbeforeeachuse.

Ifmeasuringinextremetemperatureenvironments,oratthelowendofthemeasurement

range,calibratethemeteratleastonceperweek.



SelectingaCalibrationStandard

Forbestresultsselectacalibrationstandardclosesttotheexpectedsamplevalue.

Alternatively,useacalibrationsolutionvaluethatisapproximately2/3oftheexpectedfull

scalemeasurementrange.Remembernottore‐usecalibrationsolutions;contaminantsinthe

solutionwillaffectthecalibrationandtheaccuracy.



SalinityCalibrationProcedure

1. Inserttheprobeintodeionizedordistilledwaterforapproximately30minutestorinsethe

probe.

2. SelecttheSodiumChloridestandardthatisclosesttotheexpectedmeasurementrange.

3. Filltwoseparateandcleansamplecupswiththestandardizingsolutiontoadepthofat

least3cm(1.2”)each.

4. SwitchthemeterON.

5. Rinsetheprobeinoneofthesamplecupsolutions,gentlystirringtheprobe.Rinsingcould

removecontaminantsthatcouldaffectcalibrationandcausemeasurementerrors.

6. Diptherinsedprobeintotheothersamplecupsolution.Tapormovetheelectrodeinthe

sampletodislodgeairbubbles.Lettheprobestabilizetothesolutiontemperature.

7. PressandholdtheHOLD/CALbutton(approximately2seconds)untilthesalinityvalueand

the‘CAL’iconbeginflashingontheLCD.

8. Usethearrowbuttonstoadjustthedisplayedvaluetomatchthevalueofthestandard

solution.TheSalinityreadingcanbeadjusted±30%fromthedetectedvalue.Values

differingmorethan±30%fromthedetectedvalueindicatesthattheelectrodeneedstobe

cleaned.

9. WhentheCALiconstopsflashing,presstheSETbuttonmomentarilytoconfirmthevalue.

Themeterwillthenreturntothenormalmeasurementmode.

10. NotethatincaseswheretheSalinityreadingisoutsidethe±30%window,themeterdisplay

mayfreezeandnotallowtheusertoreturntothenormaloperatingmode.Inthiscase,

removeoneofthebatteriestoswitchthemeterOFFanddonotusethemeteragainuntil

theelectrodehasbeencleanedorreplaced.

Maintenance

Keepthemeter’smeasurementelectrodeclean.Betweenmeasurements,rinsetheelectrode

withdeionizedordistilledwater.Iftheelectrodehasbeenexposedtoasolventimmisciblein

water,cleanitwithasolventmiscibleinwater,e.g.Ethanol,andthenrinsecarefullywith

water.

Storetheelectrodecarefully.Beforestoring,rinsecarefullyindeionizedordistilledwaterand

storedry.

Troubleshooting

PowerONisattemptedbutthereisnodisplay

BesuretopresstheON‐OFFbuttonforatleast100mStoswitchthemeterON.

Checkthatbatteriesarepositionedcorrectly,makinggoodcontact,andcorrectpolarity.

Replacethebatteriesifnecessary.

Removeandreplacetheexistingbatteries.

DisplayswitchesOFF

ThisisnormalwhenAutoPowerOFFisactivated.

Replacethebatteriesifnecessary.

AirBubblesadheredtoElectrode

Stirtheelectrodecompletelyandbesuretodiptheelectrodeintoasolutionatanoblique

angle.Verticaldippingcancausemanyairbubblestoadhere.

Gentlytapthebottomofthesolutioncontainerwhilestirringtheelectrodeinthesolution.

Aircanbeblownacrosstheelectrodebeforedippingitintothesolution.
