CONDUCTIVITY CALIBRATION
• It is recommended to calibrate the instrument for the conductivity
range at least once a month, or when the probe is changed.
• For better accuracy, choose a solution with a conductivity value
close to the sample to be measured.
If you are measuring in the mS ranges, calibrate the meter using
the
HI 7030
(12.88 mS/cm @25°C) or
HI 7034
(80 mS/cm
@25°C) conductivity solution.
For the μS ranges, use
HI 7031
(1413 μS/cm @25°C) when
calibrating in the range from 0 to 1999 μS/cm, or
HI 7033
(84
μS/cm @25°C) for the 0 to 199.9 μS/cm range.
• Rinse the probe thoroughly with distilled water and, if possible,
use plastic beakers to minimize any EMC interferences.
• Pour a small quantity of the desired conductivity solution into a
plastic beaker, and immerse the probe while making sure that
the holes of the sleeve are completely submerged. Tap the probe
lightly on the bottom of the beaker to remove any air bubbles
trapped inside the sleeve.
• Adjust the conductivity TC knob to 2%/°C.
• Select the appropriate measurement range:
199.9 μS if calibrating with
HI 7033
solu-
tion, 1999 μS for
HI 7031
, 19.99 mS for
HI
7030
, or 199.9 mS for
HI 7034
.
Note:
If the display shows "1", the reading is
over-range. Select the next higher range.
• Allow a few minutes for the reading to stabi-
lize and adjust the calibration knob to read
the calibration solution value @25°C.
• All subsequent measurements will be referenced to 25°C (77°F).
• If you need to reference the measurements to 20°C (68°F), adjust
the calibration knob to read the calibration solution value
@20°C. See conductivity vs. temperature chart.
• Calibration is now complete and the instrument is ready for use.

RESISTIVITY CALIBRATION
• The meter is factory calibrated for resistivity range, and usually
needs recalibration only after a resistivity probe replacement. In
this case, follow the below instructions.
• Immerse the probe in a solution of known resistivity value, and
wait for the reading to stabilize.
• Adjust the calibration trimmer on the rear panel until the
resistivity value of the reference solution is displayed.
