Шалгалт тохируулга
1-Point Auto Calibration
The Salt20 Salinity Tester uses a 1-point auto calibration process with auto buffer recognition. It is recommended to calibrate the meter regularly for accurate results, especially before critical measurements or if the meter has not been used for a long time.

The Salt20 Salinity Tester features effortless single-button auto calibration with auto buffer recognition, simplifying the calibration process.
- Шийдэл бэлтгэх: Pour a small amount of the 12.88 mS/cm (6.44 ppt) calibration solution into a clean beaker.
- Шалгалт тохируулгын горимыг оруулна уу: With the meter turned on, short press the CAL button. The display will show "CAL" and the calibration value.
- Усанд дүрэх мэдрэгч: Dip the sensor into the calibration solution. Stir gently.
- 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.
- Гарах тохируулга: Short press the MEAS button to exit calibration mode and return to measurement mode.
Жич: Always use fresh calibration solution for each calibration. Do not pour used solution back into the bottle.
Засвар үйлчилгээ
Мэдрэгчийг цэвэрлэх
The BPB (Brush-Resistant Platinum Black) sensor is robust but requires proper cleaning to maintain accuracy.
- After each use, rinse the sensor thoroughly with distilled or deionized water.
- If there is visible contamination, gently brush the sensor with a soft brush (like a soft toothbrush) while rinsing.
- For stubborn deposits, soak the sensor in a mild detergent solution for 10-15 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.
- Хэзээ ч үгүй wipe the sensor with abrasive materials or apply excessive force, as this can damage the platinum black coating.
Хадгалах
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.
