6. Instruccions de funcionament

6.1. Encendre/apagar

Premeu el botó Poder button (bottom right) to turn the meter on or off.

6.2. Calibració

Regular calibration ensures accurate measurements. The EC220-K supports automatic and manual calibration for EC, TDS, and Salinity.

1. Premeu el botó CAL botó per entrar al mode de calibratge.
2. Follow the on-screen prompts to select the appropriate calibration standard solution.
3. Immerse the sensor in the standard solution. The meter will detect the solution and perform automatic calibration.
4. For manual calibration or adjustment of reference temperature, temperature coefficient, or cell constant, use the SET button and arrow keys.
5. Confirm calibration with the ENT botó.

6.3. Mesurament

After calibration, the meter is ready for measurement.

1. Premeu el botó MEAS button to enter measurement mode.
2. Premeu el botó MODE button to cycle through measurement parameters: Conductivity (EC), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Salinity (SAL), and Resistivity (RES). Temperature is displayed concurrently.
3. Submergeix el sensor al sample solution. Ensure the sensor tip is fully submerged and free of air bubbles.
4. Wait for the reading to stabilize. The 'Auto Stable' feature will indicate when the reading is stable.
5. The meter can display temperature in both Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F), adjustable in the settings.
