■ Basic Operations

This section describes the basic operations such as turning on the instrument, connecting an

electrode, and changing the operation modes and measurement parameters of the

LAQUA-PC1500 benchtop meter.

●  Turning On the Instrument

1. Insert the AC adapter cable by

        fitting with the AC adapter jack.

2. Insert the AC adapter into the

        electrical socket.

3. Press the POWER key of the

        meter.

●  Connecting an Electrode

To perform calibration / measurement, it is necessary to use the appropriate electrode for

measurement parameter. Use the following procedure to correctly connect the electrode to the

instrument:

1.  Insert the electrode connector by fitting its groove with the connector pin of the 

         instrument.

2. Turn the electrode connector clockwise by following the grooves.

3. Slide the connector cover on the connector.

4. When using a combination electrode equipped with a temperature sensor, insert the   

        temperature jack (T) to the ATC socket on the meter.

AC Adapter jack

Printer or RS-232 C Connector

TEMP1 temperature

    electrode (T) jack

CH1 measurement
