                                                                       51

The indicated value does not change/No response

The measured value is out of the measurement range

When the measured value is below the display range,  Ur  appears. When the measured value 
is over the display range,  Or  appears.

 Repeatability of the measured value is poor

Nothing appears when the power is turned ON

Cause

How to solve problem

The conductivity electrode is broken.

Replace the conductivity cell.

The conductivity electrode is not 
connected correctly.

Connect the conductivity electrode properly.

The instrument is in HOLD state.

Cancel the HOLD state.

Instrument defect.

Consult your dealer.

Cause

How to solve problem

Sample is out of the measurement 
range.

Use a sample within the measurement range.

The conductivity electrode cable is 
broken.

Replace the electrode.

Cell constant is not set.

Set the cell constant.

Calibration is not performed or 
performed incorrectly.

Perform calibration correctly.

Instrument defect.

Check as explained below.

Cause

How to solve problem

Effect of the sample solution.

Repeatability becomes poor as the conductivity 
value of the sample changes over time.

The conductivity electrode is dirty.

Clean the conductivity electrode. 

The conductivity electrode is broken.

Replace the conductivity electrode. 

Cause

How to solve problem

Power is not supplied.

Insert batteries.

Battery polarity (+,  ) is reversed.

Insert the batteries with the polarity (+,  ) correctly 
oriented.

Battery life is low.

Replace the batteries.

Instrument defect.

Consult your dealer.
