User Guide

Poseidon Flow Technologies sincerely thanks you for

resistant, portable, easy to use instrument that uses electri-

cal conductivity to determine the Salinity/Speciﬁc Gravity of

natural and/or artiﬁcial sea water.

The unit rapidly displays Salinity (ppt), Speciﬁc Gravity (SG)

and temperature (Celsius/Fahrenheit), on an easy to read

LCD screen. The SP+ can also be easily calibrated in seconds

using the included Salinity Standard Solution (30ppt).

This device has been factory tested to provide trouble-free

performance and contains certiﬁed components to

ensure safe, reliable and accurate, lab grade results.
