Replacing the Batteries

The CTSTestr 50 Pocket Tester uses four 

AAA 1.5 V batteries. 
1.  To remove the battery cover, see Figure 1. 

Clear the front catch and then the back 

catch, before sliding the cover off. 

2.  To remove the battery plate, push the 

center tab towards the front of the tester 

as shown in Figure 2. Once unlocked, 

remove the plate to access the batteries.

3.  Invert the tester upside down to remove 

the batteries. Each side uses two  

AAA batteries. Orient each battery with 

positive terminal facing downward. 

4.  To lock the battery plate, align the small 

tabs (Figure 3) into the guide ribs on  

the housing and then press down.  

See Figure 4.

Sensor Replacement

Replace the sensor module at the fraction of the cost of a new tester. When the 

tester fails to calibrate or gives fluctuating readings in calibration standards, you 

need to change the electrode.
1.  With dry hands, grip the ring with sensor facing you. Twist the ring counter-

clockwise. Save the ring for later use.

2. Pull the old sensor module away from the tester.
3.  Align the four tabs on the new module so that they match the four slots on  

the tester.

4.  Gently push the module onto the slots to sit it in position. Push the smaller 

O-ring fully onto the new sensor module. Push the other O-ring over the  

module and thread it into place by firmly twisting clockwise.

Note: It is necessary that you recalibrate your tester prior to measurement after  

a sensor replacement.

Self-Diagnostic Messages

           

Batteries are weak and need replacement soon.

stable error

Appears when calibration is attempted but the reading is not yet stable. Wait for 

the reading to stabilize or manually confirm the calibration by pressing enter.

over range

The reading is above the measuring range of tester.

Sensor Maintenance

1.  Always keep the sensors electrodes clean. Rinse the electrodes with  

deionized water and wipe them dry with clean cloth before storing with its 

protective cap. For cup type electrodes, remove the white plastic cup and 

insert to thoroughly clean viscous solutions. Never scratch electrodes with 

a hard substance.

2.  For better performance, soak the electrode in alcohol for 10 to 15 minutes and 

rinse with de-ionized water before starting any measurement process. This is 

to remove dirt and oil stains on the electrode which may affect the accuracy 

of the measurements.
