Milwaukee SM402 Marine Instruments User Manual


 
OPERATION:
The meter is supplied complete with a
9V battery. Slide off the battery com-
partment cover on the back of the
meter. Install the battery while paying
attention to its polarity.
Connect the probe to the meter se-
curely by aligning the pins with the
plug in.
Make sure that the meter has been
calibrated before taking any measure-
ments (see Calibration Procedure)
Immerse the tip (4 cm) of the EC/TDS
probe into the sample. If possible use
plastic beakers or containers to mini-
mize any EMC interference.
Turn the instrument on by pressing
the ON/OFF key.
Wait for the temperature sensor to reach the thermal equi-
librium before taking any measurements.
After use, the instrument should be switched off and the
probe should be cleaned and dried. Whenever needed,
use alcohol for better cleaning.
CALIBRATION PROCEDURE:
Clean the probe with alcohol and let it dry.
Open a sachet of conductivity calibration solution
(see Specifications) and immerse the probe mak-
ing sure that the metal pins are completely
submerged.
Wait until the thermal equilibrium is reached and
the reading is stable.
Adjust the calibration trimmer on the rear
of the instrument with the supplied
screwdriver until the display shows:
"1410" µS/cm for SM301
"5.0" mS/cm for SM302
"1380" mg/L (ppm) for SM401
"6.4" g/L (ppt) for SM402
The calibration is now complete and the
meter is ready for use.
The instrument should be re-calibrated at least once a month,
or when the probe or battery is changed.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT:
When the battery becomes weak the meter will display "V".
When the low battery indicator appears, the battery has only
about 50 hours of working time left. A low battery will result in
unreliable measurements. It is recommended to replace im-
mediately the battery.
Battery replacement must only take place in a non-hazardous
area using an alkaline 9V battery.
Turn the meter off, slide off the battery compartment cover at
the rear of the meter and replace the 9V battery with a new
one. Make sure the battery contacts are tight and secure, seat
the battery in its compartment and insert the cover again.
