LaMotte 5 Series TDS Meter - Manual (Page 10)

Conductivity Electrode Information
The CON 6/TDS 6 hand-held meter is supplied with a conductivity/TDS
electrode with a BNC connector. This conductivity/TDS electrode comes with
Stainless Steel rings, a cell constant of K = 1.0, and a built-in temperature
sensor for Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC).
The specially designed Ultem-body housing has chemically
resistant properties. It provides fast temperature response and
reduces air entrapment, which makes it easy to obtain
accurate, stable readings.
The durable probe materials include:
1. Polyetherimide (Ultem) – protective probe guard
2. Polybutylterphalate (Valox) – sensor housing
3. Stainless Steel (SS 304) – 2 steel bands
Proper use of the probe is essential to ensure that the optimum
measurement is taken in the shortest amount of time.
The protective plastic probe guard is removable for simple
periodic maintenance but it must be kept intact during
measurement and calibration.
Always immerse the probe beyond upper steel band.
NOTE:
1. DO NOT remove the protective
probe guard during measurement
and calibration. It will affect the
results.
2. DO NOT submerge the probe
above the protective guard. The
cable can be submerged for brief
periods of time, but not
continuously.
