5.1  Advanced Setup Overview

Advanced setup allows customisation settings such as; selecting electrode’s cell
constant, normalisation temperature, temperature coefficient, TDS factor (Micro
600 TDS), automatic or manual calibration (Micro 600 COND), single-point or
multi-point calibrations (COND and TDS), and to reset meter to factory default.
To enter advanced setup mode:

1

Switch off the meter.

2

Press 

MODE

and then 

ON

, holding both keys for 2 seconds.

Release the 

ON

key before releasing the 

MODE

key.

3

If successful, 

[

StUP

]

will appear briefly followed by 

[

CELC

]

.

4

Press 

s

or 

t

to select the desired advanced setup function.
