Display Description: Function Mode 1. Measuring Value 2. Calibration Mode 3. Calibration error indicator 4. Reading stored indicator 5. MAX & MIN Value 6. Recall Mode 7. Auto lock or manually lock current reading 8. Temperature Indicator 9. Auto Temperature Compensation 10.
Functions of Keyboard: Lock the current reading, press for 3 sec. to enter or exit MAX/MIN mode. In this mode, press to browse MAX and MIN reading. Store the current reading. Press 3 sec. to enter Recall mode. In Recall mode, browse records. Press both together 3 sec.
Preparation: <pH, ORP, COND, TDS, Salt> 1. Connect AC adaptor with power source. 2. Remove the protection cap from the electrode and connect to input connector. 3. Connect the Temp. probe to meter and turn on the power switch. 4. Rinse the electrode with clean water and wipe it dry. <DO>...
3. Rinse the electrode with clean water and wipe it dry. Dip the electrode into the buffer solution pH 4.01 as previous steps. 4. After slope calibration, pH 4.01 or pH 10.01, the display will indicate the percentage of slope (PTS) to show the status of the electrode.

hold for 3 sec. to enter calibration mode. The display will appear CAL and flashing 1413µS/cm. When the display stops flashing and indicates “SA", then "End” while calibration ends, and will return to measurement mode. Note: 1. Calibrated by 12.88 mS/cm standard solution would be better for measuring high conductivity solution.
sec. to enter calibration mode. The display will appear CAL and flashing 101.7%. When the display stops flashing and indicates “SA", then "End” while calibration ends, and will return to measurement mode. 4. Optional ’zero oxygen’ calibration: (improves measurement accuracy for very low or very high DO measurements).
<ORP> 1. Insert ORP electrode, and press to choose ORP mode. 2. Rinse the ORP electrode with clean water and wipe it dry. Dip the electrode into the sample solution which is going to be measured. Stir gently and wait until a stable reading can be obtained.

4. Don’t touch or wipe the surface of the inner black plate of the conductivity cell. <DO> 1. Remove the protection cap and turn on the power and press to choose mode. Wait 10 minutes to 30 minutes for the probe to polarize. The reading should be approx.
MAX/MIN mode: 1. Press and hold button until the display appear flashing MAX and MIN icons to enter MAX/MIN. Press lightly to browse MAX and MIN value during this mode. 2. To exit this mode, press and hold button again until the flashing MAX and MIN icons disappear and return to measuring mode.
Advanced Setting: 1. In pH, TDS or DO measuring mode, press together for 3 sec. will enter advanced setting. 2. In pH advanced setting, (1) Press to set “pH calibration type”, and to choose “USA” or “NIST”. Then press to confirm and return to measuring mode.

to adjust the value from 0 to 50 ppt. Then press to confirm and return to measuring mode. (2) Press to set “Altitude Compensation”. to adjust the value from 0 to 20K ft. Then press to confirm and return to measuring mode. 5.
Membrane Cap Replacement: 1. Do not touch the membrane as skin oils will interfere with the oxygen permeability rate of the membrane. Replace the cap carefully. 2. It is recommended that the probe remain attached to the meter during this replacement process. 3.
