The Salt20 Salinity Tester features effortless single-button auto calibration with auto buffer recognition, simplifying the calibration process.

  1. સોલ્યુશન તૈયાર કરો: Pour a small amount of the 12.88 mS/cm (6.44 ppt) calibration solution into a clean beaker.
  2. Enter Calibration Mode: With the meter turned on, short press the CAL button. The display will show "CAL" and the calibration value.
  3. Immerse Sensor: Dip the sensor into the calibration solution. Stir gently.
  4. Wait for Stability: The meter will automatically recognize the calibration solution. Wait for the smiley face icon to appear and remain stable. The calibration success symbol (M) will also appear.
  5. Exit Calibration: Short press the MEAS button to exit calibration mode and return to measurement mode.

નોંધ: Always use fresh calibration solution for each calibration. Do not pour used solution back into the bottle.

જાળવણી

સેન્સર સફાઈ

The BPB (Brush-Resistant Platinum Black) sensor is robust but requires proper cleaning to maintain accuracy.

  1. After each use, rinse the sensor thoroughly with distilled or deionized water.
  2. If there is visible contamination, gently brush the sensor with a soft brush (like a soft toothbrush) while rinsing.
  3. For stubborn deposits, soak the sensor in a mild detergent solution for 10-15 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.
  4. ક્યારેય નહીં wipe the sensor with abrasive materials or apply excessive force, as this can damage the platinum black coating.

સંગ્રહ

For long-term storage, ensure the sensor is clean and dry. Replace the protective cap. Store the meter in its carrying case in a cool, dry place.
