LaMotte 5 Series TDS Meter - Manual (Page 20)

MEASUREMENT
The CON 6/TDS 6 meter is capable of taking measurements with automatic
temperature compensation or manual temperature compensation.
With Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC)
For ATC, make sure the phono jack of the probe is securely connected to the
meter.
The conductivity/TDS reading displayed will be compensated for according to
the normalization temperature (20 °C or 25 °C) selected. See Normalization
Temperature.
Without ATC (Manual Temperature Compensation)
For manual temperature compensation, unplug the probe phono jack (not
BNC) from the meter.
To use manual temperature compensation, enter the temperature value of the
process into the meter. The meter will compensate the
result to this temperature. Any temperature between 0
and 50 °C (32 to 122 °F) can be selected. The default
value is 25 °C.
1. Make sure that the phono jack (for temperature
measurement) is disconnected from the meter.
2. Turn on the meter and if necessary, press the MODE
button to select the temperature measurement mode.
3. Press CAL button to start the temperature calibration
process.
4. “CA” will appear momentarily and the temperature
value will start flashing.
5. Check the temperature of the sample using an
accurate thermometer. Wait for the value to stabilize.
Press
or button and adjust the value on the
display to match the value on the reference
thermometer.
6. Press the ENTER button. The [CO] indicator will
appear for 1.5 seconds, and the reading will stop
flashing. The temperature calibration has been
successfully performed. The meter will return to the
measurement mode.
