3. Product Description 7 3.3 Power Power is via a button cell (Typ CR2032, 3V; included with delivery). 3.4 TopSafe TopSafe protects the instrument from moisture and mechanical strain (impact). We recommend you always use TopSafe. The IP68 protection class is achieved if the instrument is placed inside the TopSafe and is closed.
4. Initial Operation 4. Initial Operation 4.1 Insert battery 1 Open the TopSafe sealing cap and remove instrument. 2 Open battery compartment on rear of instrument. 3 Insert button cell (Type CR2032, 3V).

5. Operation 9 Function Description Setting options Auto Off (AUTO OFF) On (switched on) or Instrument switches off OFF (switched off) automatically after 10 minutes if no button has been pressed Beeper (bP) Warning sound (button pressed, On (switched on) or stable reading reached with OFF (switched off) Auto Hold function switched on)
5. Operation 5.3 Measuring Setting up the instrument If large quantities of the electrolyte gel are stuck to the probe when removed from the storage cap, it is a sign that the gel is spent. A new storage cap is needed. Clean off the pH probe before and after each measurement with low concentration soap water followed by tap water (water temperature should be below 40 °C).
The instrument is switched on and is in the measurement mode. 1 Open calibration mode: - testo 206-pH3 with pH probe without temperature sensor: The set temperature value for manual temperature compensation is displayed for 2s. The value must correspond to the temperature of the buffer solution.

5. Operation 2 Skip calibration point: MODE -o o r- Immerse probe in the buffer solution and start calibration: - The instrument waites for a stable reading : AUTO flashes. - If a stable reading is available (change less than 0.02pH in 20s), the calibration point calibrates and the instrument changes to the next calibration point (if available) or to the gradient and offset value display.
6. Service and Maintenance 13 6. Service and Maintenance 6.1 Checking electrolyte gel Check the electrolyte gel in the storage cap regularly for contamination and ensure it is filled to the correct level. Replace storage cap if necessary. 6.2 Cleaning housing/TopSafe Clean housing with a damp cloth (soap water) if dirty.
7. Questions and Answers 7. Questions and Answers Question Possible causes Possible solution Readings instable. Static charge. Rinse off pH electrode with tap water or low concentration soap water.
