1. INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing our Con 700 series benchtop meter. This microprocessor-based meter is economical and simple to use. The design incorporates a large LCD for clear viewing, yet offers a small footprint to conserve space. The CON 700 measures conductivity or TDS, and temperature (ºC or ºF) simultaneously. Each meter includes a convenient slide-out card for quick reference.
2. GETTING STARTED 2.1 Keypad Functions Powers the meter on and off. Upon power on, the meter automatically begins in the mode that was last used. Calibration and memory values are retained even if meter is unplugged. Toggle between available measurement modes— Conductivity with Temperature or TDS with Temperature. Also used to switch to Temperature calibration during Conductivity or TDS calibration mode. Press and hold for 5 seconds to enter SETUP mode. Toggles between measurement and calibration modes.

3. ELECTRODE INFORMATION The CON700 includes an electrode with a nominal cell constant of k = 1.0, built-in temperature sensor, and 1 meter cable. The Ultem body housing has good chemical resistant properties. The electrode design offers fast temperature response and reduces air entrapment, ensuring accurate, repeatable, and stable readings.
The factory default is automatic conductivity calibration. See Section 6.10 to change this setting. There is no automatic calibration value available for conductivity range 1.

The factory default is Single-Point Calibration. See Section 6.11 to change this setting. 4.3 General Calibration Tips For best results, periodic calibration with known accurate standards is recommended. A maximum of one calibration point per range can be performed. If multiple calibration points are used in the same range, the most recent one will replace the previous one. When the electrode is replaced, it is best to clear the calibration to the factory default values (see Section 6.13).
4.5 Manual Conductivity & TDS Calibration Procedure 1) as needed to select conductivity (μS or mS) or TDS Press (ppm or ppt) calibration. 2) Dip the electrode into the calibration standard and press . Provide stirring for best results. The primary display will show the current reading, while the secondary display will be the factory default value. Adjust the 3) temperature reading using or . Press to accept.
2) Dip the probe into the sample beyond the upper steel band (utilize the fill line on the outside of the probe guard for reference). 3) Allow time for the reading to stabilize. Note the reading on the display. The clear yellow protective probe guard must be attached during measurement. Erroneous results will occur while the probe guard is removed. 5.2 Automatic and Manual Ranging The CON 700 automatically selects the optimum range in which your readings appear.
2) To recall data from memory, press . The location of the most recent stored data is displayed first. Press location of the desired data, then press or to select the to accept. 3) Press to return to the stored data location. Press to return to measurement mode. To erase stored data, see Section 6.14. 6. SETUP FUNCTIONS Use the set up mode to customize your instrument operation. During measurement, press and hold mode. Press or for 5 seconds to enter SETUP to change programs or change options.

performance in extreme sample ranges. Use this setup function to change the cell constant if necessary. Meter default is 1.0 to match the included probe. k = 0.1 ideal for low measurements <20 µS (<10 ppm). k = 1.0 ideal for mid-range measurements k = 10 ideal for high measurements >20 mS (>10 ppt). Press . Press or Press to select 0.1, 1.0, or 10.0 to confirm. 6.13 P4.0 rSt (Reset) Press . Press or to select “Yes” (Reset) or “No” (Cancel).
7. CALCULATING TDS CONVERSION FACTOR You can calibrate TDS using the value of the calibration standard solution at a standard temperature such as 25 ºC. To determine the conductivityto-TDS conversion factor use the following formula: Factor = Actual TDS ÷ Actual Conductivity @ 25 ºC Actual TDS: Value from the solution bottle label or as a standard made using high purity water and precisely weighed salts.
8. CALCULATING TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENTS To determine the temperature coefficient of your sample solution use this formula: Where: tc = Temperature coefficient 25 = 25 ºC CT1 = Conductivity at Temp 1 CT2 = Conductivity at Temp 2 T1 = Temp 1 T2 = Temp 2 NOTE: A controlled temperature water bath is ideal for this procedure. 1. 2. 3.
