Other Measurements Carried Out With The Conductivity Cell; Tds Parameter - XS Instruments 70 Serie Manuel D'utilisation

Connect the Conductivity cell to the BNC for Cond of the instrument (grey).

If the user does not use a cell with a built-in temperature probe or an external one NTC 30KΩ probe, it

is recommended to manually update the temperature value (MTC).
 Remove the cell from its tube, rinse with distilled water, dab gently taking care not to scratch the
electrodes.
 Dip the sensor in the sample: the measuring cell and any relief holes must be completely immersed.
Keep slightly stirred and eliminate any air bubbles that would distort the measurement by gently

shaking the sensor.
 Scroll on the display with four red bands
Consider the measurement truthful only when the stability icon appears

 For a highly accurate measurement the instrument uses five different measurement scales and two
units of measurement (µS / cm and mS / cm) depending on the value; the scale change is performed
automatically by the device.
Once the measurement is finished, wash the cell with distilled water.

The Conductivity sensor does not require much maintenance; the main aspect is to make

sure that the cell is clean. The sensor must be rinsed with abundant distilled water after
each analysis; if it has been used with water insoluble samples, before performing this
operation, clean it by immersing it in ethanol or acetone.
Never clean it mechanically, this will damage the electrodes compromising the functionality.
For short periods, store the cell in distilled water, while for long periods, keep it dry.

Other measurements carried out with the Conductivity cell

The conductivity measurement can be converted into the TDS and Salinity parameters.
 In measure mode, press the key
These parameters use the Conductivity calibration; therefore, refer to the previous paragraph to

calibrate the sensor.
 TDS Parameter
COND 70 Vio, PC 70 Vio
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.
In measure mode press

 Use the directional keys to move to TDS SETTINGS P4.0 and access the menu by pressing the key
.
Press again to access the TDS FACTOR P4.1 program.

 When the value flashes, use the directional keys as indicated by the icon
value and confirm with
By default, the TDS factor is set at 0.71; the user can change it between 0.40 ... 1.00.
