To choose one of the measurement modes (temperature is always displayed), simply press and
release the [MODE] key. Carefully observe the small legends at the far right side of the LCD.
Conductuctivity
with °C
Temperature
Compensated
Conductivity
with °C
Salinity
with °C
If the instrument is reading Temperature compensated conductivity, the large numbers on the
display will be followed by either a
µ
S or mS and the small portion of the display will show the
o
C flashing on and off.
If the instrument is reading Conductivity, the large numbers on the display will be followed by
either a
µµµµ
S or mS, but the small portion of the display will show the
o
C NOT flashing.

mS
24.8 °C
NOTE: The instrument measures conductivity in uS/cm or mS/cm even though the /cm is
not shown on the display.
If the instrument is reading Salinity, the large numbers on the display will be followed by a ppt.

24.8 °C
NOTE: Temperature compensated conductivity and salinity modes cannot be used unless a
YSI 3200 series cell is connected. When using a YSI 3400 series cell (or equivalent)
with the 3232 cell adapter, these modes will display an error message (“LErr”) since
3400 series cells do not contain a temperature sensor.
