INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Model 2100 Conductivity Meter from ILIUM Technology, Inc. The Model 2100 is intended for use as a laboratory instrument and is capable of providing accurate measurements of the temperature and solution conductivities from 1 fS/cm to 1 mS/cm. The meter is completely auto-ranging, with the accessible conductivity range determined by the probe chosen, with each probe spanning over 8 decades of conductivity. Most measurements require simply placing the probe in the sample and reading the conductivity and temperature on the meter’s display. The simple-to-use menu system allows control of the display brightness and contrast, a choice of the conductivity and temperature units displayed, information about the meter and the probe currently in use, and the ability to lock the display into a specific conductivity range if desired. Additional capabilities are available with computer communication with the meter through its USB port.
Conductivity Probes
The Model 2100 meter is designed to work with a family of conductivity probes, each of which allows the user to access eight decades of conductivity. The standard meter package includes a Model 1020 fully immersible, mini-dip probe, which covers the conductivity range from 25 fS/cm up to a few µS/cm. The parts of the probe that come in contact with the user’s samples are made of 316 stainless steel, PEEK, PTFE, and FEP, depending on the depth that the probe and cable are immersed.
The mini-dip probes are designed to be robust, fully immersible, easy to use, and extremely easy to clean. Many solvent based dispersions, such as paints, inks, or water/oil emulsions are difficult to remove from electrode surfaces simply by flushing with additional solvents. The ILIUM dip probes allow the user to remove the outer cylinder, providing access to the electrode surfaces so they can be wiped clean with an appropriate, non-abrasive swab or wipe.

Unpacking
Check for any damage on the shipping container that might suggest inappropriate handling during shipping. When you first unpack the Model 2100, check to ensure that you find all the items listed on the packing list and look for any signs of damage that may have occurred during shipping. Report any damage to the shipper immediately.
Note that there is a protective film over the display window that should be removed before using the meter.
The anti-static bag and shipping container should be saved for future shipments, including returns for annual calibration or other service.
SYMBOLS AND HEADINGS
WARNING
This heading in the user documentation explains dangers that might result in personal injury or death.
CAUTION
This heading in the user documentation explains hazards that could damage the instrument. Such damage may invalidate the warranty.
GENERAL INFORMATION
CAUTION: Please read this user guide thoroughly before using your meter. Any use
outside of these instructions may invalidate your warranty and cause permanent damage to the meter.
CAUTION: To clean the instrument, use a damp cloth. Clean the exterior of the instrument only. Do not apply cleaner directly to the instrument or allow liquids to enter or spill on the instrument. To clean the probe, remove the outer cylinder, flush all contaminated surfaces with an appropriate solvent, carefully wipe the electrode surfaces clean with an appropriate, non-abrasive swab or wipe, rinse again with the solvent, then replace the outer cylinder.
WARNING: There are no user serviceable parts in this meter. Please return the meter to ILIUM if service is required.
CAUTION: This meter is intended for use only with the ILIUM Power Supply included with the meter (ILIUM part no. 01-262-0500001). Use of an AC Adapter other than the one supplied by ILIUM may damage the meter.

WARNING: Ensure that the AC Adapter is readily accessible when positioning the device, as it is the main AC disconnect. To fully disconnect the unit from the AC supply, remove the AC Adapter from the wall outlet.
CAUTION: This meter is designed to be used only with ILIUM model 2100 compatible probes, adapters, and accessories. The use of probes, adapters, or accessories not specifically listed by ILIUM as compatible with this meter may damage the meter and will void the warranty. A list of all currently available compatible probes and accessories is available from ILIUM.
WARNING: If the equipment is not used in accordance with the instructions provided in the User Manual, the protection provided by the conductivity meter may be impaired.
WARNING: This manual does not profess to address all of the safety problems associated with the use of the Model 2100 and the samples it is used to measure. It is the responsibility of the user of the meter to establish safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
WARNING: When handling and measuring flammable samples and cleaning materials:
Ensure that the Model 2100 is located in a sufficiently ventilated area or fume
hood.
Do not store flammable material near the Model 2100. Do not leave sample containers uncovered. Clean all spills immediately.
The specifications, descriptions, drawings, ordering information and part numbers within this document are subject to change without notice.

Display
The meter has a 16 character by 2 line, backlit, LCD display. During normal measurement operation the main display screen will appear as shown in Figure 2.

Temperature
The conductivity will be presented in up to four digits, using 0, 1, or 2 digits to the right of the decimal place. The available units include femtoSiemens (fS), picoSiemens (pS), nanoSiemens (nS), microSiemens (µS), and milliSiemens (mS). As described below in the Getting Started section, the user can choose to see the conductivity values in Siemens per centimeter or Siemens per meter. Note that this setting is persistent over on/off cycles.
The temperature is displayed on the second line of the display to the nearest 0.1°. As described below in the Getting Started section, the temperature units can be set to either °C or °F. Note that this setting is persistent over on/off cycles. If the connected probe does not have a temperature sensor, this area will remain blank. If the connected probe does have a temperature sensor, but the meter cannot obtain a reading, it will display “ - - - . -°C” or “ - - - . -°F”. This will occasionally happen when the instrument momentarily cannot get an accurate temperature reading. In this case, the temperature will return shortly. If the temperature does not return, or is never available when you connect the probe, the temperature capability has been damaged and the probe should be returned for repair.
The Status is shown just to the right of the conductivity units. An asterisk is shown when the meter has not reached a completely stable reading. Once a stable reading is reached, the asterisk will turn off. This status does not imply that your sample has reached a steady value, but that the instrument is satisfied with the immediate value reported. Occasionally, the value displayed may appear to be stable even though the asterisk is displayed. This indicates that the instrument is not confident in the precision of the answer.
In the upper right hand corner of the display, the Mode is designated as either AR for Auto Range mode or DL for Display Lock mode as described in the Making Measurements section below.
