’s memory (NOT a live measurement).
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
DEFAULT SETTINGS:
•
Temperature Units:
°C (Temperature is displayed in Degrees Celsius)
•
Solution Modes:
Conductivity – KCl, Resistivity – NaCl, TDS – 442™
MEASUREMENT SETUP:
Before you take a reading, make sure the 9P is clean,
calibrated, and if measuring COND or TDS, that the desired solution mode has
been selected (See Section II, Solution Mode Selection, below). The sample
solution must also be within the specified range.
For pH, ORP and FC
E
measurements both the pH/ORP sensor well and
conductivity cell cup must be rinsed and filled with sample solution.
For greatest accuracy, resistivity, ORP, and FC
E
measurements should be taken
from a continuous flow of sample solution.
I. MEASUREMENT
1.
Rinse the sensor well and/or cell cup 3 times with sample to be measured.
2.
Fill the sensor well and/or cell cup with fresh test sample.
3.
Press the appropriate Measurement Key:
COND: Measures Conductivity
TDS: Measures Total Dissolved Solids
RES: Measures Resistivity
displays as PPT of NaCl
ORP/Fr Chl: Measures ORP or Free Chlorine Equivalent (FC
E
)*
pH: Measures pH
Press one of these to begin an Alkalinity* or Hardness* titration.
Press to calculate LSI*. Uses stored or hypothetical Alkalinity and Hardness
data.
