  • Page 22: Set The Manual Temperature Compensation

    Set the manual temperature compensation Glass pH electrodes are automatically temperature compensated if a temperature probe is sensed in the 3.5 mm phono jack. If no probe is sensed, the meter defaults to the manual temperature compensation at 25.0 ºC. Manual temperature compensation is always in ºC. Refer to Set the manual temperature compensation for glass electrodes.
