The METTLER TOLEDO SevenEasy conductivity meter is an instrument offering far more than simple
conductivity measurements without breaking your budget. It is an instrument with many advantages:
- SevenEasy saves you time. The user interface is designed in such a logical way that you will no
longer need to consult your user manual.
- SevenEasy can be battery operated. Thanks to this option you can now easily move your instru-
ment from one working area to another even if no power supply is available.
- SevenEasy has additional advantages. Our Service Option provides regular equipment qualifica-
tions that will improve the reliability and accuracy of your instrument.

2. Safety measures
Measures for your protection
- Never work in an environment subject to explosion hazards! The housing of the in-
strument is not gas tight (explosion hazard due to spark formation, corrosion caused
by the ingress of gases).

- When using chemicals and solvents, comply with the instructions of the producer
and the general lab safety rules!

Measures for operational safety

- Have the instrument serviced only by METTLER TOLEDO Service!
- Always wipe off splashed liquids immediately! The instrument is not waterproof.
- Use batteries of the specified type only. Otherwise, proper operation cannot be guar-
anteed.
- Exclude the following environmental influences:
• powerful vibrations,
• direct sunlight,
• atmospheric humidity greater than 80%,
• corrosive gases,
• temperatures below 5 °C and above 40 °C,
• powerful electric or magnetic fields !

Installation

4. Installation
1. Unpack the meter, power adapter, electrode, electrode arm and other accessories according to the
enclosed packing list. Keep the calibration certificate in a safe place.
2. Make sure the power adapter matches your local power supply. If not, please contact your vendor.
3. Install the electrode stand:
- The electrode stand can be used in a stand-alone configuration, or
it can be attached to the instrument. The electrode arm is placed in
one of the three positions on the base. If the electrode stand is used
in a stand-alone configuration, it is recommended to use the middle
position.
Remove the appropriate lid. Use the supplied fixing screw to tighten
the connection. This concludes the installation if the electrode stand
is to be used in a stand-alone configuration.

- If the electrode stand is to be attached to the instrument, place the

base in front of you so that the base’s free wing points away from
you. Remove the appropriate lid. The electrode stand can be mounted
on the left or right side of the base.

- Adjust the tension knob as required. Loosen

5. Sample Measurement
5.1 Conductivity measurement
Place the conductivity sensor in the sample and press to start the measurement: The decimal
point flashes.
The display shows the conductivity of the sample. The automatic endpoint A is the meter's default
setting. When the sensor output has stabilized, the display freezes automatically, and appears.
The automatic endpoint algorithm is as follows: The measured conductivity of the sample may not
deviate by more than 0.4% from the measured average conductivity of the probe of over 6 seconds.

By pressing and holding the key, you can toggle between auto and manual endpoint mode. To
manually endpoint a measurement, press , the display freezes, and appears.

5.2 TDS/salinity/resistivity measurement

To perform a TDS/salinity/resistivity measurement, follow the same procedure as for a conductivity
measurement. Press the key to switch between conductivity, TDS, salinity and resistivity mea-
surement modes.

5.3 Settings
5.3.1 ATC/MTC
Most conductivity sensors have a built-in temperature probe. When a temperature probe is used, the
symbol ATC and the sample temperature are displayed.

When the meter does not detect a temperature probe, it automatically switches to manual temperature
compensation mode, and MTC appears.

To set the MTC temperature, see 5.3.2 Menu setting.

5.3.2 Menu setting

Press the key, the menu’s content appears on screen and the first item blinks:

Set reference temperature

Set temperature correction mode
Set MTC temperatur
Set TDS factor

Use the or key to select a menu item. When the desired item blinks, press the key to
start the setting.
