5.9 TAKING A READING

Before you begin, remove the electrode's protective cap. Soak the
electrode for a few minutes in alcohol to remove any dirt or oil stains
which will affect the accuracy of the meter. Rinse thoroughly with pure
water and shake off dry.
1 Press the 'On/Off' button to switch the meter on. The 'MEAS'
indicator appears when the meter is in measurement mode.
2 Put an appropriate amount of the test sample on the
measurement electrode avoiding the inclusion of bubbles which
may cause the conductivity measurement to be inaccurate.
3 The reading is shown in the upper display, automatically
temperature compensated to normalised temperature of 25°C.
The temperature of the solution is shown in the lower display.
Press '°C/°F' to toggle between Celsius and Fahrenheit.
'Or' (over range) is displayed if the reading is outside the selected range.

If this occurs, select an appropriate range to suit the reading, see Section
5.5 'Selecting the Measurement Range' on page en-8.
