Overview
Thank you for selecting the ECscan series pocket conductivity tester.
This user
manual provides a step-by-step guide to help you operate
.
the tester, please carefully read the following instructions before use.
Installing the Batteries
1. Remove the battery compartment lid.
2. Insert three LR44 alkaline batteries into the battery compartment,
note polarity.
3. Replace the battery compartment lid to its original position and
turn clockwise until tight.

Prior to Use
Remove the protective cap and translucent cover from the bottom of
the tester. If the platinum sensor has dried out, soak the electrode for
about 10 minutes in tap water.
Switching the Tester On and Off
•
Press the
Meas
key to switch on the tester.
•
Press and hold the
Meas
key to switch off the tester.
If you do not press any key within 8 minutes, the tester will switch off
automatically to conserve energy.
Conductivity Calibration
The ECscan10 conductivity tester allows 1 point calibration. For better
accuracy, we recommend to calibrate the tester regularly. The following
table shows acceptable standard solutions for each tester.
Model
Standard Solution Range
Default
ECscan10
L
100 to 180 µ S/cm
146.5 µ S/cm
ECscan10
M
1000 to 1800 µ S/cm
1413 µ S/cm
ECscan10
H
10 to 18 mS/cm
12.88 mS/cm
Make sure that using a fresh standard solution during the calibration.
DO NOT reuse the standard solution after calibration, contaminants
in solution will affect the calibration and eventually the accuracy of
the measurement.
1. Rinse the electrode with distilled water and place into the standard
solution, stir tester gently to remove air bubbles trapped in the slot
of the sensor.
