DDS-12DW Benchtop Conductivity Meter 

 

2. 

Insert the 6-pin connector into the connector socket labeled COND. After the connection is completed, DO NOT pull on the cable. Always make sure 
that the connector is clean and dry. 

 

 

 

Connecting the Temperature Probe 

1. 

Place the temperature probe into the circular hole of the electrode arm. 

 

 

 
2. 

Insert the phone plug to the connector socket labeled ATC. Ensure the connector is fully seated. 

 

 

 

Connecting the Power Adapter 

1. 

Before plugging in the power adapter, ensure that its voltage matches the local main voltage. 

2. 

Insert the connector to the power socket. The meter is now ready for use.
