2.11 – WATER QUALITY TESTER
(RPI PART #RPT820)
The Water Quality Tester (RPI Part #RPT820) is a meter de-
signed to measure water quality. This meter determines
the total amount of dissolved solids (TDS) present in the
water being used for sterilization. SciCan states the total
dissolved solids (TDS) allowable in the water reservoir to
be a maximum of 5 Parts Per Million (ppm) or a conduc-
tivity of less than 10 Micro Siemens (µs/cm). RPI’s Water
Quality Tester displays its readings in “Parts Per Million”
(ppm) and will automatically compensate for temperature
variations.

INSTRUCTIONS
STEP #1 - Remove cap.
STEP #2 - Turn Water Quality Tester on (slide switch on
top of meter to the “ON” position). See Figure 2.11.
STEP #3 - Rinse sensing probes (see Figure 2.11) in dis-
tilled water by submersing and stirring gently.
STEP #4 - Immerse Tester in a water sample without ex-
ceeding the max level line and without bottoming out the
meter. Stir gently and wait for the reading to stabilize.
STEP #5 - The reading should be ≤5 ppm.
BATTERIES
- Expected battery life should be approxi-
mately 150 hours. Batteries should be replaced when the
display will not turn on or fades. The Tester uses (4) 1.5V
coin cells (Type LR44 or 357).
2.12 – CALIBRATION SOLUTION
(RPI PART #RPS821)
CALIBRATION –
Check calibration of the Water Quality
Tester (RPI Part #RPT820) approximately every 4 months
using Calibration Solution (RPI Part #RPS821). Check cal-
ibration by immersing the Tester in a container of Calibra-
tion Solution (the solution is supplied in a single use pouch
and can serve as the container - see Figure 2.12) without
exceeding the max level line and without bottoming out
the meter. Stir gently and wait for the reading to stabilize.
The Calibration Solution is certified traceable to NIST Stan-
dard Reference Material Potassium Chloride (7447-40-7)
and will provide a reading on the Tester of 800 ppm when
tested at room temperature (77°F). Consult temperature
chart on Calibration Solution pouch for ppm values vs.
temperature condition. MSDS sheet available on the RPI
website (www.rpiparts.com).
If calibration reading is outside of the solution’s rated ppm
value, adjust Calibration Trimmer by inserting screwdriver
(supplied with Tester) through hole in the side of Tester and
adjust potentiometer until the value matches the specified
ppm value from the chart on the pouch (see Figure 2.12).

TIP - Check calibration by
immersing the Tester in a
container of Calibration Solu-
tion (the solution is supplied
in a single use pouch and
can serve as the container).
TIP - If calibration reading is outside of
the solution’s rated ppm value, adjust
Calibration Trimmer by inserting screw-
driver (supplied with Tester) through hole
in the side of Tester and adjust poten-
tiometer until the value matches the
specified ppm value from the chart on
the pouch.
