Operating the Conductivity Tester:

Power On:

  • Turn on the conductivity tester using the designated power source.

Probe Placement:

  • Insert the probe into the solution or substance being tested, ensuring proper contact.

Stabilization:

  • Allow the tester to stabilize and equilibrate with the sample for accurate readings.

Measurement:

  • Record the conductivity reading displayed on the tester, which indicates the sample’s conductivity level.

 

Maintaining the Conductivity Tester:

Cleaning:

  • Regularly clean the probe and tester’s external surfaces to prevent contamination and ensure accurate readings.

Storage:

  • Store the conductivity tester in a clean, dry environment when not in use, following GAO Tek’s recommendations for storage conditions.

Calibration Checks:

  • Periodically check the tester’s calibration against known standards to ensure accuracy. GAO Tek recommends regular calibration to maintain precision.

 

Calibrating the Conductivity Tester:

Preparation:

  • Ensure the tester is in a stable environment with minimal interference.

Calibration Solution:

  • Use GAO Tek’s recommended calibration solution with a known conductivity value.

Adjustment:

  • If the tester allows for user adjustments, follow GAO Tek’s instructions for making any necessary adjustments to calibration settings.

Verification:

  • After calibration, verify the tester’s performance against known standards or test samples to confirm accuracy.
