c. 

Press 

  twice  to  skip  calibration  adjustment  and  accept  

the new tempco (3 times if in TDS mode). You are now ready to 

measure samples with your new temperature compensation factor.

  2. 

 

Disabling Temperature Compensation

a. 

Select User mode (ref. Procedure to Select a Solution, pg. 23). 

b. 

With  “User”  selected,  press 

.  If  the  display  does  not  

show .00%/°C, hold 

 long enough to bring the tempco to  

.00%/°C (see Figure 3).

c.  

Press 

 

twice (3 times if in TDS mode). Temperature  

compensation is now disabled (=0) for measurements in User 

mode.

  3. 

 

User Programmable Conductivity to TDS Ratio

This feature allows you to select a custom conductivity to TDS conversion 

ratio within the range of 0.20-7.99 for User mode measurements.
To determine the conversion ratio for a custom solution of known TDS 

ppm value, measure the solution conductivity at 25ºC with the Ultrameter

 

III

 and divide the ppm value by the µS value. For example, a solution of 

known 75 ppm TDS and measured 100 µS conductivity at 25ºC would 

have a conversion ratio of 75/100 or 0.75. Enter the new conversion 

ratio as follows:
