the range of 100 to 240 V, 50/60 Hz.
Attention
• Before operating, check cables for damage!
• Ensure the cables are tidily arranged so that they cannot be damaged or interfere with the installation!
• Take care that the AC adapter does not come into contact with liquids!
• The power plug must be accessible at all times!

FiveEasy™ FiveEasy Plus™ Putting into Operation 17

 5 Operation of the Instrument
5.1 General settings

5.1.1 Endpoint Formats

The FiveEasyTM and FiveEasy PlusTM offers two different endpoint formats, automatic and manual. To switch
between the automatic and manual endpoint modes, press and hold Read.
Automatic endpoint
With the automatic endpoint, the measurement stops automatically as soon as the input signal is stable.
This ensures an easy, quick and precise measurement.
Manual endpoint
Unlike the automatic endpoint, user interaction is required to stop the measurement reading in manual
mode. To manually endpoint a measurement, press Read.

5.1.2 Temperature capture

Automatic temperature capture (ATC)

For better accuracy, we recommend the use of either a sensor with a built-in or a separate temperature
probe. If a temperature probe is recognized by the meter, ATC and the sample temperature are displayed.
Note
The meter accepts NTC 30 kΩ temperature sensors.
Manual temperature capture (MTC)
If the meter does not detect a temperature probe, it automatically switches to the manual temperature mode
and MTC appears. The entered MTC temperature is used for temperature compensation.
1 To set the MTC temperature, press and hold Setup.
ð The temperature value is blinking. The default setting is 25 °C.
2 Choose the temperature value by using and .
3 Press Read to confirm your settings.
4 Continue with calibration standard selection or press Exit to return to measurement screen.

5.1.3 Calibration standards

The calibration standard is selected in the setup menu.
The following three standards are available:
• 84 µS/cm
• 1413 µS/cm
• 12.88 mS/cm
Tables for conductivity values at different temperatures are programmed in the meter for each standard, see
Appendix [} 30].
§ After confirmation of the MTC temperature, the current calibration standard is blinking.
1 Select the standard by using and .
– or –
Select CC if the cell constant of the conductivity sensor used is accurately known (FP30 only).
2 Press Read to confirm.
3 Continue with reference temperature selection or press Exit to return to measurement screen.

5.1.4 Reference temperature

You can select between the reference temperatures 20 °C and 25 °C. The conductivity of the sample is
referenced to the selected temperature during measurement.
§ After confirming the selection of standard, the reference temperature is blinking.

18 Operation of the Instrument FiveEasy™ FiveEasy Plus™

 1 Select the targeted reference temperature using and .
2 Press Read to confirm.
3 Continue with the α-coefficient setting or press Exit to return to measurement screen.

5.1.5 α-coefficient
The conductivity of a solution increases when the temperature rises. With most solutions, a linear interrela-
tionship between conductivity and temperature is given.
The measured conductivity is corrected and displayed using the following formula:
GTRef = GT / (1 + α (T - TRef) / 100%)
whereras
• GT = conductivity measured at temperature T (mS/cm)
• GTRef = conductivity (mS/cm) displayed by the instrument, calculated back to the reference temperature
TRef
• α = linear temperature correction coefficient (%/°C); α = 0: no temperature correction
• T = measured temperature (°C)
• TRef = Reference temperature (20 °C or 25 °C)
§ After confirming the setup of the reference temperature, the α-coefficient value is blinking.
1 Set the α-coefficient value using and .
2 Press Read to confirm.
3 Continue with TDS factor setting or press Exit to return to measurement screen.

5.1.6 TDS factor

TDS is calculated by multiplying the conductivity value by the TDS factor.
§ After confirming the α-coefficient, the TDS value is blinking.
1 Set the TDS factor using and .
2 Press Read to confirm.
3 Continue with Temperature unit setting (FP30 only) or press Exit to return to measurement screen.

5.1.7 Temperature unit (FP30 only)

§ After confirming the TDS setting, the temperature unit is blinking.
1 Select the temperature unit (°C or °F) using and .
2 Press Read to confirm and get back to the measurement screen.

FiveEasy™ FiveEasy Plus™ Operation of the Instrument 19

 5.2 Performing a calibration
To determine the cell constant of a conductivity sensor, perform a calibration as described below.
§ A sensor is connected to the instrument.
1 Place the sensor in a calibration standard and press Cal.
ð and appear on the display.
The instrument endpoints according to the preselected endpoint mode (manual or auto). After the
signal has stabilized or after pressing Read (manual endpoint) the meter display freezes and shows
the relevant standard value.
ð disappears from the display.
ð The new cell constant of the sensor is shown on the right side of the display.
2 Press Read to save the calibration.
– or –
Press Exit to discard the data of the calibration.

Note
To ensure reliable conductivity measurements, you should verify your cell constant with a standard solution
once a day and recalibrate if necessary. Always use fresh standards.
Note (FP30 only)
If the cell constant of the conductivity sensor used is accurately known (certified cell constant), it can be
entered directly into the meter (0.001 - 10.00/cm) if the calibration standard was set to Cell constant.
1 Press Cal and the default cell constant is blinking on the display.
2 Increase or decrease the cell constant value by pressing and .
3 Press Read to confirm the value.
