5.4 TDS Calibration

Before attempting a TDS calibration, ensure that the

smart

CHEM

-D

has been set up correctly

according to sections 5.1 to 5.3.

Automatic Temperature Compensation is done via a temperature sensor inside the TDS sensor. It is
therefore not necessary to calibrate the Temperature readout of the

smart

CHEM

-D

before taking

TDS measurements.

1. Plug the TDS sensor into the

Cond / TDS

socket.

2. Rinse the TDS sensor in distilled water. Shake off as much water as possible. Blot the outside

of the sensor dry. DO NOT BLOT THE ELECTRODE PLATES.

Zero Calibration

3. Let the sensor dry in air.

4. Select TDS Calibration (

5. The

smart

CHEM

-D

will recognise the low TDS signal and attempt a Zero calibration. For

example…

TDS 0*01ppM
ZERO Calibration

Press Enter

6. Press

to calibrate. The Automatic Stability Function will now show a and highlight the

reading while it is unstable…

ZERO Calibration

Waiting to Stabilise

When the TDS reading has stabilised, the unit will calibrate itself.

To calibrate immediately without waiting for complete stability, press

to disable the

Automatic Stability Function.

The “
