6.1.4 Dry the conductivity meter probe with lint free wipes.
6.1.5 Switch “ON” the conductivity meter by pressing the “ON/OFF” button.
6.1.6 Dip the probe into the sample solution.
6.1.7 The end of the sensor shall be completely immersed into the sample. Stir the probe
gently to create a homogenous sample.
6.1.8 Read the conductivity on the display in mS/cm or µS/cm.
6.1.9 Allow the reading to stabilize. Record the details in Annexure.
6.1.10 Remove the conductivity meter probe.
6.1.11 Switch “OFF” the conductivity meter by pressing the “ON/OFF” button.
6.1.12 Rinse the sensor with clean water and cover the sensor with the included cap after
use.
6.1.13 Clean the exterior surface of the Conductivity Meter with 70% IPA using lint free
cloth.

6.2 Procedure for Calibration of Conductivity meter


6.2.1 PCS Testr 35 is capable of automatic and manual conductivity calibration.
6.2.2 In automatic calibration mode, the instrument will automatically choose one of the
three conductivity calibration standards depending on the ranges listed below.

Conductivity Range Automatic Calibration Value


0.0 – 200.0 µS 84 µS
201 – 2000 µS 1413 µS
2.01 – 20.00 µS 12.88 mS

6.2.3 PCS Testr 35 is capable of single or multi-point conductivity calibration.


6.2.4 Selection of muti-point calibration shall allow up to three of the following values,
while single-point calibration shall allow only one (84 µS, 1413 µS or 12.88 mS) of
the calibration standard.
6.2.5 To calibrate the instrument, press ON/OFF to turn the Conductivity meter on and
press MODE ENT to select conductivity mode.
6.2.6 Rinse the sensor with clean water.
6.2.7 Immerse the sensor into the calibration standard.
6.2.8 The end of the sensor shall be completely immersed into the sample. Stir the probe

gently to create a homogenous sample.


6.2.9 Press CAL The primary display will show the un-calibrated value. The secondary
display shall search for and lock on the closest automatic calibration value.
6.2.10 Allow the primary display to stabilize, then press MODE ENT to confirm the
calibration value.
6.2.11 The primary value shall blink briefly before returning to measurement mode.
6.2.12 Repeat steps 6.2.6 to 6.2.10 with additional calibration standards if required.
6.2.13 Record the calibration details in Annexure.
