4. Setup

The C-100 tester comes with batteries pre-installed and is factory calibrated for immediate use. However, it is good practice to check the battery compartment and ensure proper installation.

1. Battery Installation/Check:
   • Locate the battery compartment on the back of the device (refer to Figure 2.2).
   • Slide open the battery cover.
   • Ensure the batteries are correctly inserted according to the polarity markings.
   • Close the battery cover securely.
2. Initial Inspection:
   • Remove the protective cover from the electrode.
   • Inspect the electrode for any damage or residue. Clean if necessary (refer to Maintenance section).

5. Operating Instructions

1. Power On/Off:
   • Press the ON/OFF button to turn the tester on.
   • Press the ON/OFF button again to turn the tester off.
2. Selecting Measurement Mode:
   • After powering on, press the MODE / CAL button repeatedly to cycle through the different measurement modes: EC, TDS, Salinity (SALT), and Specific Gravity (S.G.).
   • The current mode will be indicated on the LCD display.
3. Taking a Measurement:
   • Ensure the protective cover is removed from the electrode.
   • Submerge the electrode into the water sample up to the immersion line.
   • Gently stir the tester to remove any air bubbles and allow the reading to stabilize.
   • Read the value displayed on the LCD screen.

4. Holding a Reading:
   • While taking a measurement, press the HOLD / TEMP button to freeze the current reading on the display.
   • Press the button again to release the hold and resume live readings.
5. Changing Temperature Units:
   • While the device is on, press and hold the HOLD / TEMP button for a few seconds to switch between Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F).
6. Calibration:
   • The device is factory calibrated. If recalibration is needed due to prolonged use or suspected inaccuracy, refer to the specific calibration instructions provided with your calibration solutions. Generally, this involves pressing and holding the MODE / CAL button in a standard solution.

6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and accuracy of your C-100 Water Quality Tester.

1. Cleaning the Electrode:
   • After each use, rinse the electrode thoroughly with distilled or deionized water to prevent contamination and residue buildup.
   • Gently wipe the electrode with a soft, clean cloth. Do not scrub or use abrasive materials.
   • For stubborn deposits, a mild cleaning solution specifically designed for pH/EC electrodes may be used, followed by a thorough rinse.
2. Battery Replacement:
   • When the battery indicator on the display shows low power, replace the batteries.
   • Open the battery compartment and replace with new batteries of the correct type and polarity.
   • Dispose of old batteries responsibly.
3. Storage:
   • Always replace the protective cover on the electrode before storing the device.
   • Store the tester in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
   • Avoid storing the device in environments with high humidity or corrosive gases.
