INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the EC/TDS/SAL (Electro
Conductivity/Total Dissolved Solids/Salinity) TRACER PockeTester.
The TRACER is a revolutionary, first of its kind measurement device
that offers direct reading of conductivity, TDS and salinity with one
electrode. Careful use and maintenance will provide years of reliable
service.
