Operation

Preparation for use

1. Install the sensor plug into the sensor's input socket.

2. Press the Power key to turn on the meter.

3. Select the temperature units by pressing the C/ F key. The display will indicate

C or F as selected.

4. Select the Conductivity units by pressing the Units key.

Conductivity Calibration

The Conductivity probe calibration should be performed frequently to minimize

measurement errors.

1. Remove the battery from the battery compartment to gain access to the

calibration adjustments. Refer to the diagram below.

2. Prepare a standard conductivity solution of a value close to the value of the

solution to be tested.

3. Place the probe into the calibration solution and adjust VR4 until the meter

reads the correct value. Other VR pots are for factory use only. Do not adjust.

Temperature Compensation

The unit defaults to a 2% per oC temperature compensation factor. To manually

change the coefficient factor, follow the steps below:

1. Set the meter to the 200 µS range via the Units key.

2. Press the TEMP key

3. Press the Factor Adjust key to select the desired compensation factor (in

increments of 0.1 % per degree C).

4. Once the desired factor is set, press the TEMP key again.

Range Select

1. If the display shows “-------“, the meter is in an overange condition. Press the

range key to select a higher range

2. If the display shows “_____“, the meter is in an underrange condition. Press the

range key to select a lower range

Data Hold

Press the Data Hold key to freeze the displayed value. The LCD will display DH for

Data Hold mode along with the held reading. Press the Hold key again to release

the data hold function.

MIN/MAX/AVG Data Recording

When selected, the Data Recording function records the Min, Max, and Average

readings. To start a data recording session:

1. Press the RECORD key once. The REC indicator will appear on the display

and the meter will begin to record the lowest (min), highest (max), and

average (avg) readings.

2. To recall the data, press the RECALL key once. The MAX indicator will

appear along with the highest reading recorded since the RECORD key was

pressed.

3. Press the RECALL key again to view the MIN value.

4. Press the RECALL key again to view the AVG reading.

5. To exit the Record mode, press the RECORD key again. The display

indicators REC, MIN, MAX, and AVG will disappear.

Auto Power OFF

The meter includes an Auto shut off feature that preserves battery life. The meter

will automatically turn off if no function button is pressed in any 10 minute period. To

disable this feature press the RECORD key to engage the record function.

LCD Contrast Adjust

It may be necessary to adjust the display contrast due to a change in viewing angle or

voltage drift. Use the LCD Contrast adjustment located on the right side of the meter

to set the preferred contrast.

RS-232 PC Interface

The meter includes a RS-232 serial data port. This interface was designed to operate with

the Extech Data Acquisition Software/Hardware kit Part No. 407000. This kit enables the

user to capture, store and display readings using a PC. For more information contact

Extech or refer to the 407000 User Manual for details.

Battery Replacement

The low battery indication LBT appears on the LCD when the battery runs low.

To replace the battery:

1. Remove the meter's rubber protective cover to access the rear battery

compartment.

2. Remove the battery compartment cover using a small coin or screwdriver and

remove the 9V battery.

3. Replace the 9V battery and reinstall the cover and holster.

Conductivity Probe Care

To prepare the probe for use, remove the outer protective sheath used during shipping.

Probe Storage

On sheathed cells, replace the sheath over the probe when storing. For non-sheathed

versions, keep the probe’s tip soaking in de-ionized water in storage

Probe Cleaning

After each use the probe tip should be rinsed with de-ionized water. If solids build up

inside the probe, carefully remove them with a cotton swab soaked in solvent.

Caution: Be sure not to touch the metal parts of the inner probe.
