3. Operation 3.1 Measurement: Push key to power on the instrument. It will automatically show last measurement and be ready for new measurement. 3.2 Measurement function shifting: 1. Push【MODE】 to shift among Cond., Salt, and TDS in Cond. Mode. This function is unavailable
in Res. mode. 2. Push【ENT】+【MODE】 to shift among five manual ranges (20.00µS /200.0µS /2000µS /20.00
mS /200.0 mS) and auto range shifting mode. When entering into auto range shifting mode, symbol will disappear after 3 seconds.
Remark: Before measuring salt and TDS, please finish the calibration according to the
conductivity calibration steps, and then set the factor value according to the standard solution of salt and TDS.

3.3 Temperature measurement and compensation: 1. Auto Temp. Compensation: Auto recognition of temperature probe system. (NTC30K or PT1000)
Push or to adjust the temperature within in ±5. Push keys simultaneously to back to the original value.
2. Manual Temp. Compensation: Enter MTC 25 automatically if no temperature probe. Push or to adjust the temperature. Push simultaneously to back to the default value. 3. Temperature compensation: The temperature of the to-be-tested solution may not be 25. For
standardization, the conductivity value of the solution which is not at the temperature of 25 will be calculated to that of solution at the temperature of 25.
4. According to the temperature coefficient required by the measurement, three kinds of temperature compensation can be applied: Linear(Lin), Non-linear(nLin), and non compensation (0.00%). See the setting method in ch. 4.4.3. Users can set by themselves as needed.
5. Temp. Coefficient (TC for abbreviation), the conductivity value of the solution will increase as the temperature rises. TC may differ from different solution. See the formula as follows:
C25 Conductivity at 25 Ct Conductivity at T
Formula 1: Ct = C25 1+β( T – 25 )
T Temp. of the tested solution β Temp. Coefficient Formula 2: β = ( Ct-C25 ) / C25 ( T-25 )
6. How to measure the TC of the solution: If the user wants to get a more accurate value, the above formula can be applied to measure the TC of the solution and set an appropriate TC on the machine. Take 0.01N KCl as an instance, set the TC as non compensation (0.00%) in the machine. Control the same solution respectively at 25 and 20. You could acquire measurement at 25(C25) for 1413µS; and the measurement at 20(Ct) for 1278 µS. According to formula 2, β=1.91%.
