Operating Instructions Power ON/OFF Turn the meter on by pressing the POWER button. To turn the meter off, press, hold and release the POWER button for 2 seconds. Note: This meter can be powered by either six (6) "AA" batteries or AC adapter (sold separately). Selecting Measurement Modes The R3100SD offers 3 measurement modes: • Conductivity • Total Dissolved Solids • Salinity (Salt) 1.
5. The top of the LCD display will indicate the conductivity mS (μS) value while the lower part of the LCD will display the solution temperature value. Note: The zero adjustment function can only be used when the measured value is less than 10 digits. Manual Ranging Press the Function button to toggle between the ranges 200μS/cm, 2mS/cm, 20mS/cm, 200mS/cm and Auto Range. Zero Adjustment Follow the steps below if the display does not indicate a zero value when the probe is not immersed in any solution. 1.
4. 5. Shake the probe to let the probe's internal air bubble drift out from under the sensing head. The LCD display will indicate the salt value in % of weight. Data Hold While taking a measurement, press the HOLD button to freeze the current readings on the display. 2. While in this mode a HOLD symbol will appear. 3. Press the HOLD button again to resume normal operation. Note: When the Data Hold feature is active all buttons except the POWER button are disabled. 1.
Setup Mode 1. 2. Press and hold the SET button for 2 seconds to enter Setup Mode. Press the SET button continuously to scroll through the following parameters. Parameter Description Sd F Format the SD memory card dAtE Set the time and date SP-t Set the data logging sampling rate PoFF Enable or disable the auto-power off function bEEP Turn the beeper on or off dEC Set the decimal format (USA (20.
Note: At any time, you can press the ESC button to exit the Setup mode and resume normal operation. It is recommended that new SD cards should be formatted prior to first use. If the formatting process fails or if no card is inserted, the meter will display: Setting the Time and Date (dAtE) Follow steps 1 through 4 when "dAtE" appears on the LCD. 1. Press the and buttons to adjust the year as indicated by "YY." 2. Press the ENTER button to confirm selection. 3.
Enabling/Disabling Auto Power Off (PoFF) Follow steps 1 through 3 when "PoFF" appears on the LCD. 1. Press the and buttons to select between YES (enabled) or NO (disabled). With the Auto Power OFF feature enabled, the meter will automatically switch OFF after 10 minutes of inactivity to preserve battery life. 2. Press the ENTER button to confirm selection. 3. Press the SET button to save and skip to next parameter.
Selecting the Temperature Unit of Measure (t-CF) Follow steps 1 through 3 when "t-CF" appears on the LCD. 1. Press the and buttons to select to select between °C and °F. 2. Press the ENTER button to confirm selection. 3. Press the SET button to save and skip to next parameter. Note: At any time, you can press the ESC button to exit the Setup mode and resume normal operation.
Data Logging Data Recording Modes Manual Data Logging: Press the LOG button to manually log up to 99 readings on a SD memory card (see Manual Data Logging Mode for full setup instructions). Automatic Data Logging: Setup the meter parameters in order to automatically log data on a SD memory card. The number of data points is limited by the size of the memory card. Note: It is recommended to use a class 4 SDHC memory card between 1Gb and 16Gb. Insert the SD memory card in the slot at the bottom of the meter.
Automatic Data Logging Mode In automatic mode the desired data logging sampling rate can be set between 1 second to 8 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds prior to recording (see Setting the Data Logging Sampling Rate section for details). In order to setup the meter for automatic data logging, follow steps 1 through 5 below. 1. Press the REC button and "REC" will appear on the LCD. 2. Press the LOG button to enter automatic data logging function as indicated by "DATALOGGER".
The raw data can be used to create a graph in Excel.
Clearing Conductivity Calibration Data 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. While under normal operation, press the "A" and "B" buttons simultaneously to enter calibration mode. The LCD display wil indicate the symbols "Cd" and "CAL". Press the and buttons until "CLr" appears on the display. Press the ENTER button to confirm and erase all calibration data. The display will continuously blink while the calibration data is being erased. When complete, the meter wil resume normal operation.
3.5mm Terminal to RS-232 Serial Connection RS-232 Mono Jack Pin 2 (RX) Pin 4 (DTX) Sleeve Tip System Reset If the meter becomes unresponsive or if the display freezes, the Reset Pin can be used to reset the instrument. 1. Use a paper clip or any similar small object to press the Reset Pin. 2. After pressing the Reset Pin, power the meter back up by holding the POWER button for 2 seconds. 3.
