C. Operation Modes The pH/EC1030A has 6 operation modes: Measure Mode is used to make pH/conductivity/TDS/ salinity/temperature measurements. Calibration Mode is used to perform 1, 2 or 3 point pH calibration and conductivity calibration. Hold Mode is used to display held measured values for increased ease of use.
Note: There is no need to repeat this procedure every time unless one decides to change the buffer settings. pH Calibration With pH on the display, press the “Mode” key for 2 seconds to enter the “pH Calibration Mode”. Immerse the electrode into either pH 7.00 or 6.86 buffer solution, depending on the Buffer Set selected.

Conductivity Calibration Press “Mode” key to enter the “Conductivity Measure Mode”. The units will be in μS/cm or mS/cm. Clean and immerse the probe (at least 2” to 3” or 5 to 7 cm from the tip) into standard solution without touching the sides of the calibration container.
indicate a successful calibration. Conductivity calibration is now complete and the unit will automatically switch to the “Conductivity Measurement” mode. E. Measure In the “Measure Mode”, dip the meter into the test solution. Press “Mode” key to select: pH/Temperature, Conductivity/ Temperature, TDS/ Temperature and Salinity/Temperature.
