3 PREPARATION

3.1 Conductivity Electrode Information

A 2-cell or 4-cell conductivity probe can be connected. Your meter includes a 4-Cell
conductivity electrode (Part No: EC620-165) with an electrode constant of K = 1.0. This
conductivity / TDS electrode features a built-in temperature sensor for Automatic
Temperature Compensation (ATC).
Prior to use, remove the protective cover from the end of the probe, soak the probe in
distilled or deionised water for 10 minutes. You may either:-

1. Connect the 2-cell probe by plugging its pin connectors into the dual pin sockets located
at the rear panel of the meter.

2. Connect the 4-cell probe by plugging its DIN connector into the DIN socket at the rear
panel of the meter.

3. Connect the ATC probe by plugging the 1/8” mini-phone jack into the ATC socket l
at the rear panel of the meter.

Note: DO NOT use both probes together (2 and 4 cell)

3.2 Connectors

The meter has 6 connectors:

1. Power connector (center negative)

2. 2-Cell conductivity connector

3. Temperature connector

4. RS232 connector

5. 4-Cell conductivity connector with built in Temperature

probe
CAUTION: Do not pull on the electrode cord to avoid internal
wire breakages.

3.3 Connecting the AC/DC Adapter

The AC/DC adapter must be unplugged. Ensure that main voltage matches the adapter. Slide the AC/DC
adapter jack into the socket marked POWER of the meter. AC/DC adapter specifications: Input Voltage: 110
or 220 V • Output Voltage: 12 VDC • Current: 500 mA.
NOTE: Ensure the input voltage matches your adapter before connection.

3.4 Connecting the Electrode Holder

This meter’s base plate has a side metal bar for a swivel electrode
holder. The holder can be mounted on either right or left side of the
meter.

To position the electrode arm:

Use a screwdriver to remove the screw holding the side bar. Line up
the side bar with the second screw slot. Use the earlier removed
screw to secure the side bar.

To install the electrode arm to the meter:

Align the slot of the arm with the metal rod at the metal side bar.
Push it down until it fully sits into position.
