Using the Conductivity Channel
Use the Orion Star A212 conductivity meter or Orion Star A215 pH/conductivity meter to
measure conductivity, salinity, TDS, resistivity and temperature. The following chapter provides
instructions on connecting sensors, calibrating the system and measuring these parameters.
Meter and Sensor Preparation
1.
Familiarize yourself with general meter operation and prepare the meter and accessories
according to the instructions in
a.
It is recommended that sensors be placed in the meter-attached electrode stand for
easy movement in and out of containers during calibration, measurement and storage.
2.
calibration and alarm settings within the COND Channel setup menu and data transfer, data
log, date and time, language, sounds, stirrer speed, display contrast, auto-shutoff, user ID
and sample ID settings within the Instrument Settings setup menu.
3.
Connect all necessary electrodes, probes and sensors to the appropriate meter inputs.
a.
Connect a conductivity sensor to the 8 pin MiniDIN meter input. If the conductivity
sensor has built-in temperature, the temperature will also be measured when the
conductivity sensor is connected with the meter.
b.
Connect the stirrer probe (Catalog Number 096019) to the Stirrer meter input.
4.
Prepare all connected sensors for use as instructed in the sensor manuals.
