9. Setting Units of Measurement

To alter the way the Aquameter displays readings, press the

MENU

key to get to the Main

Menu, then choose

Settings.

The Settings Menu will be displayed.

Settings Menu



Units

Time & Date

Language

From this screen choose

Units

. The Units Menu will be displayed. Remember, you can use

just the arrow keys to navigate through the branches of the menus. You don’t need to press

OK

or

ESC

at each level.

Units Menu



DO/EC/TDS

TEMP/pH/ORP/SAL

BARO/Alt & Depth

At the Units Menu, you have a choice of which units you want to adjust. Choose the first
line if you want to adjust Dissolved Oxygen, Electrical Conductivity or TDS. Choose line 2 if
you want to adjust Temperature, pH, ORP or Salinity. Finally, line 3 will give access to
Barometric Pressure, Altitude and Depth settings.

Moving the cursor right onto the first line will display the following screen.

Units



DO:%SAT

EC:Ref 25

°

C

TDS Fact:0.50

On this screen you can adjust the DO: setting between %Sat and mg/L. This will set the
Meter to display Dissolved Oxygen as either % Saturation or in milligrams/Litre (which is
the same as parts per thousand). Both readings are automatically corrected for
atmospheric pressure, sample temperature and sample salinity.

The second option on this screen allows you to choose how the Meter displays Electrical
Conductivity. There are four options. EC can be displayed as ‘Absolute EC’ without any
temperature correction [ABS EC], as ‘Specific EC’ referenced to 20

°

C [Ref 20

°

C], as

‘Specific EC’ referenced to 25

°

C [Ref 25

°

C] or as a reciprocal of Absolute EC, which is

Absolute Resistivity [ABS RES].
