Appendix 5 - Pocket TDS Sensor (Engineer's Kit Only)

Before You Begin 

Remove the electrode’s protective cap. Soak the 
electrode for a few minutes in alcohol to remove 
any oil stains on the electrodes. Rinse thoroughly 
with de-ionised water and shake to dry. 

Press 

ON/OFF

 key to switch on the Pocket Sensor. 

Range Selection 

1

Switch off the Pocket Sensor. Press and  
hold 

°C/°F

 key and then switch on the tester 

using 

ON/OFF

 key. Release 

°C/°F

 key. 

2

The LCD shows the currently selected Range (the 
default is 

AUTO

) in the lower display. The upper 

display shows the maximum possible reading for 
the selected range. Press 

HOLD

 key repeatedly 

until you see the required range (PU, LO or HI). 

Measurement 

1

Press the 

ON/OFF

 key to switch on the tester. 

The 

‘MEAS’

 indicator appears when the tester 

is in measurement mode. 

2

Dip the electrode into the test solution making 
sure that it is fully immersed. Stir to clear any 
trapped air bubbles from the electrode and let 
the reading stabilise. 

3

The upper display shows the TDS (Total Dissolved 
Solids) of the solution, automatically temperature 
compensated (ATC) to normalised temperature of 
25°C. The lower display shows the temperature 
of the solution. 

Calibration 

Auto Calibration 

1

Make sure the tester is in measuring mode. 
Press 

INC

 or 

DEC

 key to enter conductivity 

calibration mode. 

2 ‘CAL’

 indicator appears in LCD. The display 

briefly shows 

‘CAL’

 and the number of 

points the tester will be calibrated.

3

The upper display shows the conductivity 
reading and the lower display sequentially 
shows calibration standard values 84 uS, 
1413 uS & 12.88 mS if the measuring 
range of the tester is set to 

AUTO

4

Rinse the electrode with the calibration standard 
that you intend to calibrate and then dip the 
electrode in the other beaker with same calibration 
standard. Swirl gently to create a homogenous 
sample and allow time for the reading to stabilise. 

5

Press 

HOLD/ENT

 key to confirm the calibration. 

LCD shows ‘CO’ for 2 seconds. 

6

For multi-point calibration, the tester goes to 
the next calibration point. Rinse the electrode 
in de-ionised water and repeat step 4 & 5 with 
next calibration standard solution. 

Manual Calibration 

1

Make sure the tester is in measuring mode. 
Rinse the electrode with the calibration 
standard that you intend to calibrate and then 
dip the electrode in the other beaker with 
same calibration standard. Swirl gently and 
allow time for the reading to stabilise. 

2

Press 

INC

 or 

DEC

 key to enter calibration 

mode. The 

‘CAL’

 indicator appears in LCD. 

3

The upper display shows the measured 
conductivity/TDS reading of the solution based 
on previous calibration (if any) and the lower 
display shows the default (uncalibrated) 
conductivity/TDS reading. 

Note:

 The tester shows error message ‘Er.1’: 

(a)

If the reading is over range (Or) of 
selected measuring range of the tester, or 

(b)

If the default (uncalibrated) reading is not 
within the acceptable calibration standard 
range. Use 

INC

 and 

DEC

 keys to adjust the 

upper display to the correct conductivity/ 
TDS value of the calibration solution. 

4

Wait for 5 seconds for the tester to automatically 
confirm the calibration by displaying ‘CO’ and 
return to the measurement mode.
