Enstalasyon
Enstalasyon batri
The Salt20 Salinity Tester is powered by 4 AAA batteries.
- Devise bouchon pil la anlè mèt la.
- Insert the AAA batteries according to the polarity indicators (+/-).
- Securely screw the battery cap back on to ensure the waterproof seal.
Premye Preparasyon
- Retire bouchon pwoteksyon an nan Capteur a.
- Rinse the sensor with distilled water and gently shake off excess water.
- The meter is now ready for calibration or measurement.
Enstriksyon Operasyon
Mezi debaz
- Limen: Short press the MEAS button to turn on the meter.
- Immerse Sensor: Dip the sensor into the sample solution, ensuring the solution covers the sensor completely. Stir gently to remove air bubbles.
- Li Mezi: Wait for the smiley face icon to appear and remain stable on the LCD, indicating a stable reading. Record the salinity (ppt) and temperature (°C/°F) values.
- Etenn: Long press the MEAS button to turn off the meter.
Chanje Inite yo
To switch between °C and °F, with the meter turned off, long press the CAL button until the unit changes.

Kalibrasyon
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.
- Prepare Solisyon an: Pour a small amount of the 12.88 mS/cm (6.44 ppt) calibration solution into a clean beaker.
- Antre nan Mòd Kalibrasyon: With the meter turned on, short press the CAL button. The display will show "CAL" and the calibration value.
- Immerse Sensor: 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.
- Sòti Kalibrasyon: Short press the MEAS button to exit calibration mode and return to measurement mode.
Nòt: Always use fresh calibration solution for each calibration. Do not pour used solution back into the bottle.
Antretyen
Netwayaj sensor
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.
- Pa janm wipe the sensor with abrasive materials or apply excessive force, as this can damage the platinum black coating.
Depo
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.
