SD memory card format, then press " Enter Button " once will format the SD memory clear all the existing data that already saving into the SD card.

When the lower display show " T CF "

1) Use the " ▲ Button " ( 3-5, Fig. 1 ) or " ▼ Button "

( 3-6, Fig. 1 ) to select the upper Display text to " C " or

" F ".

2) After Display unit is selected to " C " or " F ", press the

" Enter Button " ( 3-8, Fig. 1 ) will save the setting function with default.

10-8 Set CD temperature compensation factor

When the lower display show " PCNT "

1) This function only for the Conductivity ( PCNT ) mode of adjusting the probe's Temp.compensation value in

%/per ℃ unit. The default value is 2 %/ per ℃.

2) Use the " ▲ Button " ( 3-5, Fig. 1 ) or " ▼ Button "

( 3-6, Fig. 1 ) to select the upper value to the desired

Temp. compensation value ( %/per ℃ ), then press the

" Enter Button " ( 3-8, Fig. 1 ) will save the setting value temporally.

10-9 CELL K Value setting

When the display show " CELL "

When the Display show the text " CELL ", Use the

" ▲ Button " ( 3-5, Fig. 1 ) or " ▼ Button " ( 3-6, Fig. 1 ) Adjustment

CELL(Probe) K Value setting, than press the " Enter Button "

( 3-8, Fig. 1 ) will save the setting.

Remark :

11. POWER SUPPLY from DC

ADAPTER

The meter also can supply the power supply from the

DC 9V Power Adapter ( optional ). Insert the plug of

Power Adapter into " DC 9V Power Adapter Input Socket

" ( 3-14, Fig. 1 ). The meter will permanent power ON when use the DC ADAPTER power supply ( The power

Button function is disable ).

12. BATTERY REPLACEMENT

1) When the left corner of LCD display show " ", it is necessary to replace the battery. However, in-spec.

measurement may still be made for several hours after low battery indicator appears before the instrument become inaccurate.

2) Loose the screws of the " Battery Cover " ( 3-11, Fig. 1 ) and take away the " Battery Cover " from the instrument and remove the battery.

3) Replace with DC 1.5 V battery ( UM3, AA,

Alkaline/heavy duty ) x 6 PCs, and reinstate the cover.

4) Make sure the battery cover is secured after changing batteries.

13. SYSTEM RESET

If the meter happen the troubles such as :

CPU system is hold ( for example, the key button can not be operated... ).

Then make the system RESET will fix the problem.

The system RESET procedures will be either following method :

During the power on, use a pin to press the " Reset Button "

( 3-15, Fig. 1 ) once a while will reset the circuit system.

14. RS232 PC SERIAL INTERFACE

The instrument has RS232 PC serial interface via a 3.5

mm terminal ( 3-16, Fig. 1 ).

The data output is a 16 digit stream which can be utilized for user's specific application.

A RS232 lead with the following connection will be required to link the instrument with the PC serial port.
