2. GETTING STARTED

2.1 Description of Keypad Functions

The meter has 6 keys on the splash-proof keypad. Some buttons have 

multiple functions depending on the mode of operation. 

ON/OFF

Powers meter on and o

 . Meter starts up in the 

measurement mode that was last used.

CAL

Enters into calibration mode. Pressing while in calibration 

mode will abort calibration without con

fi

 rming value.

MODE

Selects desired measurement mode. When pressed 

simultaneously with ON/OFF, it will take proceed the 

SETUP mode. See ADVANCED SETUP section for more 

information. 

HOLD

Freezes measured reading. Press again to resume live 

reading.

ENTER 

Con

fi

 rms calibration value in calibration mode and 

con

fi

 rm selections in SETUP mode.

Increments values during calibration mode or scroll 

through SETUP. Activates manual ranging function during 

conductivity / TDS measurement.
Decrements values during calibration mode.
