5.4 Setting the TDS Factor (TDS 6+ only)
The concentration of salts dissolved in solution increases the conductivity. This
relationship varies from salt to salt and is roughly linear over a given range for a given
salt. The TDS conversion factor is the number used by the meter to convert from
conductivity to TDS.
The TDS conversion factor can be set from 0.4 to 1.0. Default value is 0.5.
See Section 13 – Calculating TDS Conversion Factor .
10. Enter advanced setup as described in Section 5.1.
11. Press ▲ or ▼ until [tdS] appears. Press ENTER.
12. Press ▲ or ▼ to select the desired TDS factor.
13. Press ENTER to select and return to the [tdS] setup
function.
14. Press ▲ or ▼ to move to the next setup function or
press CAL to exit to measurement mode.
5.5 Temperature Coefficient
The temperature coefficient is the amount of change in conductivity per degree
temperature (% per °C). For best results, determine and enter the exact temperature
coefficient of your solution. The meter allows adjustment from 0.0 to 3.0 % per °C.
Default value is 2.1 % per °C.
Note: Select 0.0 % for uncompensated measurements. Temperature can be measured
by probe and displayed.
See Section 14 – Calculating Temperature Coefficients.
1. Enter advanced setup as described in Section 5.1.
2. Press ▲ or ▼ until [t.Co %] appears. Press ENTER.
1. Press ▲ or ▼ to select a value between 0.0 to 3.0%.
2. Press ENTER key to select and return to the [t.Co %]
setup function.
1. Press ▲ or ▼ to move to the next setup function or
