5.0    Error messages

The following error messages appear for the following reasons.

4.0    Calibration

Calibration of conductivity is not required for this unit as it is factory calibrated. 

However; if you wish to calibrate the unit follow the instructions below.

YOU MUST CLEAN THE PROBE BEFORE 

CALIBRATING.

See section 2.0.

Rinse probe in fresh water and place it in a known 

standard solution. See chart below for the correct 

solution.

Wait for reading to stabilize.

Hold down the cal button for 3 seconds until CAL 

appears. 

Release button and CAL P should be displayed. If Err 

is displayed check the probe is clean and that the 

calibration solution is fresh and uncontaminated.

A check mark will appear on the screen to indicate that 

the calibration was successful. The check mark will 

disappear after 30 days. To reset back to factory default 

remove/replace battery.

NOTE: If you need to test or calibrate in a 1500 ppm 

solution, you MUST set the pen to EC, then multiply your 

result by 540. If calibrating, multiply 2.8 by 540  

(2.8 x 540 = 1512).
This unit DOES NOT measure in the 540 ppm scale.
