Introduction

Congratulations  on  your  purchase  of  the  ExStik

®

II  EC400  Conductivity/Total  Dissolved  Solids 

(TDS)  /  Salinity  /  Temperature  meter.  With  the  EC400’s  dynamic  cell-constant  technology  it  is 
possible  to  measure  a  wide  range  of  Conductivity,  TDS,  and  Salinity  with  the  same  electrode. 
Careful use and maintenance will provide years of reliable service.  

Powering the ExStik

II

The ExStik

®

II uses four  (4) CR2032 Lithium Ion Batteries (included). If the  batteries are  weak, the 

‘BAT’ indicator appears on the LCD. Press the ON/OFF key to turn the ExStik

®

II on or off. The auto 

power  off  feature  shuts  the  ExStik

®

II  off  automatically  after  10  minutes  of  inactivity  to  preserve 

battery life. 

Getting Started

  Remove the cap from the bottom of the ExStik

®

II to expose the conductivity electrode. 

  Before the first use or after storage, rinse the electrode in deionized water and dry. 
  For best results, calibrate for conductivity with a standard in the expected range of the sample. 

For  maximum  accuracy  calibrate  from  low  conductivity  value  standards  to  high  value 
standards. 

  Store dry.
