Instruction Manual CON 6/TDS 6

1 INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing CON 6/TDS 6 Conductivity/TDS meter. These

economy microprocessor-based handheld meters deliver up to ±0.5% full-scale

accuracy. It has a large custom LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) for clear and easy

reading.

CON 6 measures Conductivity (µS/mS) and Temperature (°C) while the TDS 6

measures Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) and Temperature (°C). This sturdy

meter measures up to 5 different ranges with auto-ranging capability that

switches to appropriate measuring range automatically.

Your meter includes a conductivity electrode (cell constant K = 1.0) with built-in

temperature sensor (Order Code: EC-CONSEN91B/ 35606-55), a rubber boot,

4 alkaline “AAA” batteries, instruction manual and warranty card.

Please read this manual thoroughly before operating your meter.

To order other accessories and buffer standard solutions, please refer to the

Accessories Section for more information.

2 DISPLAY & KEYPAD FUNCTIONS

2.1 Display

The meter has a large custom LCD that consists of 4-digit segments and

operation annunciators for uS/mS (or ppm/ppt for TDS 6 meter) and °C

(Temperature). Other annunciators include “HO” (when the HOLD function is

activated) and “LO” (low battery condition). See Figure below.

Keypad

The CON 6 / TDS 6 meter has 6 keys on its splash-proof keypad; ON/OFF,

HOLD/ENTER, CAL, MODE, ▲and ▼keys. Some buttons have several

functions depending on its mode of operation.

OFF

•Powers on and shuts off the meter. Takes you directly into

measurement mode when meter is switched on.

CAL

•Enters into calibration mode for Conductivity/TDS and

Temperature.

•To abort calibration or setup mode without confirming any set

value.

HOLD

ENTER

HOLD: Freezes the measured reading. To activate, press HOLD

key while in measurement mode. To release, press HOLD

key again.

ENTER: Press to confirm values in calibration mode, and to confirm

selections in SETUP mode.

•In Calibration Mode: Press to scroll through calibration values.

•In Setup Mode: Press to scroll through the setup sub-group

programs.

•Press ▲key during conductivity measurement mode to

activate manual ranging function. Each key press will move up

higher conductivity range.

MODE

•Selects measurement mode for conductivity/TDS and

Temperature.

•When pressed together with ON/OFF key, it will take you into

the SETUP mode. This allows you to customize meter

preferences such as selecting electrode’s cell constant,

normalization temperature, temperature coefficient factor, TDS

factor (for TDS 6), automatic (only CON 6) or manual

calibration, single-point or multi-point calibrations, and to reset

meter to factory default.

3 PREPARATION

3.1 Inserting & Removing Rubber Boot

(Rubber Boot sold separately)

1) To remove meter from rubber boot, push

out from the bottom edges of meter until it is

completely out of boot. Ensure that the

cables of Conductivity electrode or

temperature probe are not connected.

2) To insert meter into rubber boot, slide in

from the top of meter before pushing the

bottom edges of meter down to set it into

position. Lift up the stand at the back of

meter for bench top applications if

necessary.

3.2 Inserting the Batteries

The battery compartment is found at the

back of instrument as shown. To open the

battery compartment:

1) Push in the direction of arrow and lift

up the cover.

2) Note the polarity of battery before

inserting into position.

3) After replacement, place cover back

and press down until it locks tight.
