SALINITY CALIBRATION
Note:
Salinity calibration is made in conductivity mode when using Natural Sea Water or Practical Sea
Water measurement. Direct salinity calibration is only possible when using the older percent scale.
Salinity calibration is a single-point calibration procedure at 100.0%. Use the
HI 7037L
calibration
solution (salinity solution) as a 100% seawater solution.
To enter salinity calibration:
• Set the meter for salinity range.
• Select the
Percent Scale
(see
Salinity Setup
section).
• Rinse the probe with some of the calibration solution or deionized water.
• Immerse the probe in
HI 7037L
solution. The sleeve holes must be completely submerged. Tap the
probe repeatedly to remove any air bubbles that may be trapped inside the sleeve. Position probe away
from the wall or bottom of the container.
• Enter in calibration mode by pressing
.
• Wait for measurement to stabilize.
• Press
to finish salinity calibration or press
to cancel calibration.
CALIBRATION MESSAGES
•
Wrong standard solution. Check the standard solution.
This message appears when the difference
between the reading and the value of the selected standard is significant. If this message is displayed,
check if you have selected the appropriate calibration standard.
•
Wrong standard temperature.
This message appears if the standard temperature is out of the
allowable standard temperature range (0 - 60 °C)
.
•
Press <Clear Cal> to clear old calibration.
: Clear the old calibration.
Make sure the TDS factor has been set before taking TDS measurements (see
TDS Setup
section).
Also the TDS calibration is made in
Conductivity
mode.
DIRECT MEASUREMENT
To measure the TDS of a sample using the
Direct
reading mode:
• Press
and then
to select TDS measure
mode.
• Select the
Direct
reading mode (see
TDS
Setup
section).
• Proceed the same as for the conductivity measurement (see
Conductivity Measurement
section).
DIRECT/AUTOHOLD MEASUREMENT
To measure TDS of a sample using the
Direct/AutoHold
reading mode:
• Select the
Direct/AutoHold
reading mode (see
TDS Setup
section).
• Proceed the same as for the conductivity measurement. (see
Conductivity Measurement
section).
