Installing the Battery
1. Turn the eDrometer over such that the bottom of
the base (1) is exposed.
2. Locate the battery cover (5); depress the latch of the
battery cover until the cover can be removed.
CAUTION: DO NOT DEPRESS THE LATCH SUCH THAT
IT WILL CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE AND
PREVENT THE COVER FROM WORKING PROPERLY.
3. Once the battery cover (5) is removed the battery
cable (6) will be exposed.
4. The eDrometer is powered by a 9 volt battery;
connect the battery to the battery cable (6).
5. Place the battery and battery cable (6) in the battery
compartment. The battery should lay flat.
6. Insert the tongue of the battery cover (5) into the
compartment slot, close the cover until the latch
engages and secures the battery. CAUTION: IF THE
BATTERY COVER DOES NOT EASILY CLOSE, THERE
MAY BE AN OBSTRUCTION, OR THE BATTERY IS NOT
ORIENTED CORRECTLY. DO NOT FORCE CLOSURE.
THIS MAY DAMAGE THE BATTERY COVER.
7. Once the battery cover is secure the eDrometer is
ready for operation.
Using the Power Adaptor (Purchased Separately)
1. Locate the power plug on the side of the eDrometer
2. Plug the power adapter into the power plug, and
then plug the other end of the adapter into a 120
volt wall socket. CAUTION: PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU
ARE NOT IN CONTACT WITH ANY CONDUCTIVE
FLUID (i.e. WATER) THIS COULD LEAD TO AN

the switch and the Output Display (3) will become
active. The initial reading will display STM
Instruments.
2. After a few seconds the display will shift to the SG
screen. At this point it will be reading 0.0000; this is
because there is no fluid in the device. You are now
ready to take your measurements.
