6. Zrozumienie swoich odczytów

TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) measures the total amount of dissolved substances in water, such as minerals, salts, and contaminants, in parts per million (ppm). It indicates how much is in the water, not what is in it. Use the TDS meter as a screening tool.

While primarily a TDS meter, some models or related products may also provide turbidity readings. Turbidity measures the cloudiness or haziness of a liquid caused by suspended particles (NTU – Nephelometric Turbidity Units). It is a key indicator for water quality monitoring, treatment, and disinfection processes.

7. Kalibracja

Your Craft911 TDS Meter is factory-calibrated for immediate use. However, if recalibration is ever needed, follow these general steps. Note that specific calibration powders may be required and are not included with this product.

1. Prepare buffer solutions according to their instructions (e.g., mix buffer powder with distilled water).
2. Włącz miernik.
3. Dip the electrode into the first standard buffer solution.
4. Press and hold the 'MODE/CAL' button for 6 seconds until the reading stabilizes and locks.
5. Repeat for other buffer solutions if multi-point calibration is desired.

8. Konserwacja

• Czyszczenie: After each use, rinse the electrode with distilled water and gently wipe it dry with a clean cloth.
• Składowanie: Always replace the protective cap after use to prevent damage to the probe. Store the meter in a cool, dry place.
• Wymiana baterii: If the display becomes dim or the readings are inconsistent, replace the batteries. The meter uses standard alkaline batteries.

9. Rozwiązywanie Problemów

• Niedokładne odczyty: Ensure the probe is clean and fully immersed between the MIN/MAX lines. Check battery level. Consider recalibration if readings remain inconsistent over time.
• Brak wyświetlacza: Check if batteries are correctly installed and charged. Replace if necessary.
• Powolna reakcja: Clean the probe thoroughly. Ensure the water sample is at a stable temperature.
