POWER CONNECTION
Plug the 12 Vdc adapter into the power supply socket.
Note: These instruments use non volatile memory to retain the meter settings, even when unplugged.
PROBE CONNECTION
For conductivity, resistivity, TDS or salinity measurements connect a conductivity probe to the DIN connector
located on the rear panel of the instrument.
INSTRUMENT START UP
• Turn the instrument on from the power switch located on the rear panel of the instrument.
• Please wait until the instrument finishes the initialization process.
Note: It is normal for the loading process to take a few seconds. If the instrument doesn’t display the next
screen, restart the meter using the power switch. If the problem persists, contact your dealer.
