Salinity calibration
Calibration is necessary for accurate salinity measurement. To perform salinity calibration
using OAKTON 200 series Handheld meters, follow the procedure detailed below:
Prerequisites
Clean the conductivity electrode with DI (deionized) water and wipe it with tissue paper.
Switch on the EC meter and plug in the conductivity electrode.
Prepare standard solution required for calibration.
Press the
key to keep the EC meter in
SAL
mode.
Dip the conductivity electrode in the standard solution till the hole at the upper part of the
electrode is immersed.
Before salinity calibration, set the required salinity method. In OAKTON 200 series Hand-
held meters, available salinity methods are;
-
NACL
-
SEA.W
(Sea water)
To set a desired salinity method, refer P3.2 select salinity type on page 33.
User can adjust the salinity value by calibration.
For second or multiple point calibration, clean the conductivity electrode with DI water and
follow the same procedure.
To abort an ongoing calibration process at any point of time, press the
key.
