Conductivity Measurement 

1) Short press              to turn on tester. Rinse probe in distilled water and dry it. 

2) Stir probe in the sample solution gently, leave it to stand. Get readings after the smile icon 

comes up and stays. 

3) Press                to switch from Conductivity to TDS or salinity. 

 

Notes 

1) The tester adopts 84 µS (sold separately), 1413 µS and 12.88 mS standard calibration 

solutions. Users can use 1-3 point calibrations as needed. For most circumstances, 

calibrating in 1413 µS to complete 1st point calibration will meet testing requirements. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2) 

The tester has already been calibrated after manufacture. Usually users can use the 

tester right away, or test it in the calibration solutions to test its accuracy. When error is 

large, calibrate it before using. 

 

3) The factory default temperature compensati

on coefficient is 2.0%/˚C. Users can adjust it 

in P3 parameter setting according to the following table or laboratory data.
