.
CELL EXTENDER CAP
– Seals cell extender while mixing sample and reagents during Alkalinity and Hardness
measurements.
LCD DISPLAY
1. MAIN VALUE DISPLAY
– Displays the current measurement value and settings menu information. During Alkalinity & Hardness titrations, prompts appear here at
various stages of the process.
2. UNITS OF MEASURE ICONS
– Appropriate icon appears to show the units of measure for the current measurement.
3.
TEMPERATURE UNITS OF MEASURE
– Displays °C (Celsius) or °F (Fahrenheit) based on setting selected for
Temperature readings.
4.
MEASUREMENT ICONS
– Appropriate icon appears to show what type of measurement is being made.
5.
BUFFER ICON
– Appears when the PS9 is in pH Calibration mode to indicate that the instrument is expecting a pH
buffer solution.
6.
TEMPERATURE DISPLAY
– Displays the temperature of the sample solution, memory location number
(1 to 100) or buffer during pH calibration.
7.
SOLUTION MODE ICONS
– Appropriate icon appears to indicate the current solution temperature compensation
mode setting for Conductivity, Min/Salt and TDS measurements.
8.
LOBATT ICON
– Appears when the PS9
’s battery requires replacement.
9. CAL ICON –
Appears when the PS9
is in Calibration mode.
10.
MEMORY ICON
– Appears to indicate that the values and icons being displayed are for a measurement stored in the PS9
’s memory (NOT a live measurement).
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
DEFAULT SETTINGS:
•
Temperature Units:
°C (Temperature is displayed in Degrees Celsius)
•
Solution Mode: Conductivity – KCl
MEASUREMENT SETUP:
Before you take a reading, make sure the PS9
is
clean, calibrated, and if measuring COND or TDS, that the desired
solution mode has been selected (See Section II of Operating
Instructions, below). The sample solution must also be within the
specified range.
I. MEASUREMENT
1.
Rinse and empty the appropriate sensor (conductivity or pH / ORP) 3 times
with sample to be measured.
2.
Fill with test sample.
3.
Press appropriate Measurement Key:
COND to measure CONDUCTIVITY
0-9999 MICROSIEMENS (µS/cm), 10-200 (mS)/cm
TDS: Measures TOTAL DISSOLVED SOLIDS
0-9999 parts per million (ppm), 10-200 (ppt)
MIN / SALT: Same as TDS but displays in
0 - 200 parts per thousand (ppt).
displays as PPT of NaCl
ORP: Measures Oxidation Reduction Potential (REDOX) ± 999 mV
pH: Measures 0-14 pH
Press one of these to preform an Alkalinity or Hardness
measurement.
Press to calculate LSI. Uses stored or hypothetical Alkalinity and
Hardness data.
