Bante520 Portable Conductivity Meter 

 

Switching the Meter On and Off 

 

Press the 

Meas

 key to switch on the meter, the display shows the measured value. 

 

Press and hold the 

Meas

 key for 5 seconds, the meter will switch off. 

 

  To enable the Auto-Power Off feature, please refer to chapter SETUP MENU. 

 

Setup Menu 

The Bante520 portable conductivity meter contains an integrated setup menu that is used to customize the displayed option to meet measurement   
requirements. The following table describes the functions of the menu items.

The meter contains two temperature correction methods. The linear temperature correction is appropriate for most samples. If the current sample is 

 

belong to the natural water (e.g., natural ground, well, or surface waters), using the non-linear correction is necessary. Note: non-linear correction 

 

can only be performed at temperature range from 0° C to 36° C. If the temperature value is out of above range, the meter will always show
