Questions answered in these manuals
What is the conversion factor between EC and TDS?
The conversion factor is fixed at 0.5, meaning 1 µS/cm is equal to 0.5 ppm of TDS.

When should the instrument be recalibrated for pH?
The instrument should be recalibrated whenever the electrode is replaced, at least once a month, after testing aggressive chemicals, or where extreme accuracy is required.

How do I replace the batteries?
Remove the four screws on the top of the meter, replace the four batteries paying attention to polarity, and replace the top ensuring the gasket is properly seated.
