Finally, this screen allows you to set the factor that the Meter uses to calculate Total
Dissolved Solids from Specific EC. This is the TDS Fact: (TDS = EC x TDS Fact) and can
be set anywhere between 0.00 and 1.00. Default value is 0.65.
Selecting the second line of the Units Menu will display the following screen.
Units
TEMP:
°
C
pH:pH
SAL:PSU
The first option on this screen allows you to change the temperature display between
°
C
and
°
F.
The second option allows you to change the pH display between plain pH and pHmV. Plain
pH displays normal, temperature compensated pH values in the range 0 - 14.
pHmV displays the actual voltage being generated by the pH electrode in +/- millivolts (mV)
over a range of +/- 625mV. This is not temperature compensated.
Finally, if you have chosen to replace the pH electrode with an ORP electrode (Aquaprobe
models AP-100, AP-400, AP-500 & AP-600 only), this field
must be set to ORP
. The
meter will then display ORP in +/- mVs over a range of +/- 2000mV.
The ORP option is not available when connected to Aquaprobe models AP-700 and AP-
800 as they both have combined pH/ORP electrodes and ORP display is automatic.
The last option on this screen allows you to choose between displaying salinity in Practical
Salinity Units (PSU), or parts per thousand (ppt), which is the same as grams per litre.
Selecting the third line of the Units Menu will display the following screen.
Units
BARO:mb
ALT:Metres
The first line allows you to choose between displaying Barometric pressure in millibars (mb)
or in inches of mercury (inHg).
The second line allows you to choose between displaying altitude and depth in metres (M)
or feet (F). Whatever units ALT is set to, DEPTH (AP-1000 only) will follow. Altitude is
displayed with respect to mean sea level.
Depth is displayed with respect to the depth zero datum, which can be the water surface or
any point at which the depth has been zeroed. See section 7:
for further details.
