1. Introduction

Thank you for purchasing our C100 Handheld Cond./TDS/Sal. Meter.

This meter is perfect combination of the most advanced electronic technology, sensor technology and

software design, and is the most cost-effective handheld conductivity meter suited for industrial and

mining enterprises, water treatment engineering, environmental protection industry, etc, especially suited

for application in field.

The instrument with built-in microprocessor chips, beautiful appearance, easy to use, has the following

marked characteristics:

z Intelligent functions, such as automatic calibration, automatic temperature compensation, functions

setting, self-diagnosis, automatic power-off and low voltage display etc.

z With advanced digital processing technology, the response speed and accuracy are greatly

improved. Stable reading display mode is also equipped.

z 1-4 point automatic calibration with calibration instruction and automatic checking functions.

z Automatically recognize 4 types of conductivity standard solutions. Customer-defined solution can

also be set-up.

z With conductivity, TDS and salinity three measurement modes, can switch to display the results.

z The meter meets IP67 dust and water proofing rate.
