Selecting the Conductivity Electrode
The Bante520 portable conductivity meter is capable of using the 3 types of conductivity electrodes. Prior to the calibration and measurement, you need to
select the different sensors as per your sample concentration. The table below shows available electrode and its effective measuring ranges.

Calibrating the Meter
The meter allows 1 to 3 points calibration.
To ensure higher accuracy, we recommend that you perform 3 points calibration or select a standard value close
to the sample value you are measuring. The meter will automatically detect these conductivity standard solutions and prompt the user to calibrate the meter.
When the calibration is completed, all new calibration values will automatically override existing data.
The following table shows acceptable conductivity range of standard solution for each measuring range.

Single point calibration
1.1
Make sure that you have selected 1 point calibration in the setup menu.
1.2
Rinse the conductivity electrode with distilled water, then rinse with a small amount of standard
solution.
1.3
Press the
Cal
key, the display shows “CAL1” and waits for recognizing the standard solution
.
