6 Press the MEAS button for 0.5 seconds to enter the measurement mode and prepare for
measurement.
4 If continues to flash and the ‘Err’ (error message) is displayed, the calibration has failed. Check that the standard
solution conductivity is correct and perform the calibration procedure again after thoroughly cleaning the sensor. If the
calibration failed whilst using the correct standard solution, the sensor may be damaged and should be replaced, see

3 Close the protection cover.
4 Put an appropriate amount of the test sample into the measurement cell avoiding the inclusion of bubbles. Bubbles
in the solution may cause the conductivity measurement to be inaccurate.
