TDS Parameter
COND 7 Vio, PC 7 Vio
The Conductivity measurement can be converted into the TDS Parameter.
•
•
This parameter uses the Conductivity calibration; therefore, refer to the previous paragraph to
calibrate the sensor.
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) correspond to the total weight of the solids (cations, anions and non-
dissociated substances) in a liter of water. Traditionally, TDS are determined using the gravimetric method,
but a simpler and faster method is to measure Conductivity and convert it to TDS by multiplying it by the
TDS conversion Factor.

By default, the TDS factor is set at 0.71; the user can change it between 0.40 ... 1.00.
Here below, the TDS factors in relation to the Conductivity value are shown:
The TDS measurement is expressed in mg/l or g/l depending on the value.
