QUICK REFERENCE INSTRUCTIONS
Press and release any one of these buttons to turn on the PS6FC
E
and begin taking measurements.
Press and release the CAL/MCLR button to calibrate (CAL) the active measurement parameter or press and hold to clear displayed memory location (MCLR).
Press and release to store (MS) a measurement or move upward on the list of stored measurements (Location 1 to 100) while in memory recall mode.
Press and release to view the most recent stored measurements or move downward on the list of stored measurements (Location 100 to 1). Also used
to enter Settings Mode.

Solution.
5.
LCD DISPLAY –
Displays measurements, units of measure, active measurement mode, current solution mode setting,
low battery warning (LOBATT), and other information (see below).
6. MEASUREMENT KEYS
– Press and release any of these to turn on the PS6FC
E
and begin taking measurements.
7. FUNCTION KEYS
–
Press and release to store the current measurement (MS), recall a stored measurement (MR).
Also used to move between memory locations and to select various mode settings
.
8. CAL/MEMORY CLEAR KEY
– Use to calibrate (CAL) the active measurement parameter, enter or clear the contents
of the currently displayed memory location (MCLR).

2. UNITS OF MEASURE ICONS
– Appropriate icon appears to show the units of measure for the current measurement.
3.
TEMPERATURE UNITS OF MEASURE
– Displays °C (Celsius) or °F (Fahrenheit) based on setting selected
for Temperature readings.
4.
MEASUREMENT ICONS
– Appropriate icon appears to show what type of measurement is being made.
5.
BUFFER ICON
– Appears when the PS6FC
E
is in pH Calibration mode to indicate that the instrument is
expecting a pH buffer solution.
6.
TEMPERATURE DISPLAY
– Displays the temperature of the sample solution, memory location number
(1 to 100) or buffer during pH calibration.
7.

E
’s battery requires replacement.
9. CAL ICON –
Appears when the PS6FC
E
is in Calibration mode.
10.
MEMORY ICON
– Appears to indicate that the values and icons being displayed are for a measurement stored in the PS6FC
E
’s memory and are NOT a
live measurement.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
MEASUREMENT SETUP:
Before you take a reading, make sure the
PS6FC
E
is clean, calibrated, and if measuring COND or TDS, that the
desired solution mode has been selected (See Section II of Operating
Instructions, below). The sample solution must also be within the specified
range.
I. MEASUREMENT
1.
Rinse and empty the appropriate sensor (conductivity or pH / ORP) 3
times with sample to be measured.
2.
Fill with test sample.
3.
Press appropriate Measurement Key:
COND to measure CONDUCTIVITY
0-9999 MICROSIEMENS (µS/cm), 10-200 (mS/cm)
TDS: Measures TOTAL DISSOLVED SOLIDS
0-9999 parts per million (ppm), 10-200 (ppt)
MIN / SALT: Same as TDS but displays in
10-200 parts per thousand (ppt).
displays as PPT of NaCl
ORP: Measures Oxidation Reduction Potential (REDOX) ± 999 mV
pH: Measures 0-14 pH
NOTES:
•
When finished making Conductivity, TDS, or MIN/SALT measurements,
rinse the cell cup with clean water (preferably DI, RO, or distilled).
•
When finished measuring pH, ORP or FC
E
, rinse sensor well with clean
water (preferably DI, RO, or Distilled), refill it with Myron L Storage
Solution then reinstall protective cap.
