Calibration 4.1 If it’s first time use or the tester hasn’t been used for a long time, pour some pH 4.00 solution to the Fill line in the probe cap, soak probe for about 15 minutes to hydrate the pH sensor. 4.2 Short press to turn on. Rinse in distilled water; shake the meter in the air and use tissue paper to dap off excess water. 4.3 Long press to enter calibration mode; Short press to exit. 4.4 Insert the probe in the 7.00 pH calibration solution; Stir gently; leave it to stand; Wait for the smiley face to appear and stay on the screen (see Diagram 3); short press to complete 1 point calibration, tester returns to measurement mode;...
- Page 4 to stand; wait for the smiley face to appear and stay on the screen; then short press to complete the 2 point calibration, tester returns to measuring mode, calibration icons display on bottom left side of LCD. ■ Notes a) Tester will automatically recognize pH buffer solution, users can choose calibration points: 1 point, 2 points, or 3 points. But the 1st point calibration must be in calibration solution of 7.00 pH, then followed by 2nd or 3rd point calibration. For details, please refer to the following table: Calibration Recommended Accuracy Calibration Solution Indication icon and Range 1-point 7.00 pH Accuracy ≥ 0.1pH Calibration Measuring Range <7.0 7.00 pH and 4.00 pH 2-point Calibration Measuring Range>7.0 7.00 pH and 10.01 pH...
- Page 5 ■ Notes n If you see some white crystalline solid leaked out of the pH probe, that’s the reference solution (3M KCL) inside the probe. It is NOT a sign of any defective issue. It is a normal phenomenon when the probe is stored dry for a period of time. It proves that the junction of the probe is working well. Users can simply rinse the probe in distilled water to remove the solids and use the tester as usual. n After each test, users should rinse the pH probe thoroughly with distilled water or purified water. n For the premixed pH calibration buffer solutions, we recommend replacing them after 10 to 15 times of use to keep its accuracy. n This meter will NOT give accurate or stable pH readings when testing distilled or deionized water. This is because distilled or deionized water do not have enough ions present for the electrode to function properly. To measure distilled or deionized water’s pH, users need to use a specialized instrument. Contact us at info@aperainst.com for more details. When testing purified water like spring water or drinking water, it will take longer for the readings to get stabilized (typically 3-5 minutes) because there is very few ions left to be detected by the sensor in those purified water. n Do NOT store probe in purified water because that will cause permanent damage to the pH probe. Purified water is only recommended for rinsing the probe. The probe should be stored in 3M KCL pH electrode storage solution (SKU AI1120) for best accuracy or stored in the pH 4.00 calibration solution as an alternative if storage solution is not handy. n Do NOT use any other brand’s storage solutions because different chemicals may be used and potential permanent damage could be caused to the meter. Storing the probe dry will NOT cause permanent damage to it. It will only temporarily cause the probe to lose its sensitivity, which can always be restored by soaking in the storage solution or pH4.00 calibration solution. 6.

- Page 7 * The 1 point calibration must be 7.00 pH. Perform the 2 point calibration (4.00 pH) immediately after the 1 point. Do NOT turn off the meter before you conduct 2 point calibration. If the meter is turned off after 1 point calibration, users will need to restart the calibration process with the 7.00 pH and the 4.00 pH following after.
