OPERA

TIONAL GUIDE

6.3. MEASUREMENT MODE

Turn On the monitor by connecting power adapter to power  
cable socket. After initialization has been completed, the controller  
displays the measurement screen.

  •

 

Verify the probe is installed

  •

 

Verify the probe is calibrated

  •

 

Install probe in tank. The lower 4 cm of the probe must be submersed in the sample solution

  •

 

Upon powering monitor, the measurement screen displays all measured parameters. Using       

     

▲▼

 arrows can access 3 options of display:

All parameter screen

This screen is the default screen and displays all measured parameters.                                                    
Each time the monitor is started this screen will be displayed.                                                                 
Depending on setup, monitor will display EC or TDS and temperature in ºC or  ºF.

Single parameter screen

This screen permits better visualization from a distance.                                                                           
In this screen the parameters (pH, EC/ TDS and temperature) are cycled automatically every  
3 seconds.

Real time plot screen

This screen is a plot representation of the last measurement  
of the selected parameters.
