WARRANTY . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .16 INTRODUCTION This Sper Scientific Test Tube pH Pen (Model 850062/ 850063) is designed for easy calibration and simple, accurate measurement. The 12 cm long probe is capable of testing samples even in narrow-mouthed containers.
CALIBRATION The meter should be calibrated regularly with standard USA, NIST or DIN buffers to ensure accuracy. If the meter is used frequently, daily calibration is recommended. Voltage Range for Each Calibration Point pH 4 .00 97 mV ~ 250 mV pH 7 .00 -60 mV ~ 60 mV pH 10 .00...

4. If the displayed value is different from the standard buffer that you are using, press and hold down HOLD to change the value. Each buffer value may be adjusted within a specified range: a. 4.00 pH may be adjusted from 3 .50 to 4 .50 b.
Note… If there is an error due to a damaged or incorrectly inserted probe, or if the buffer voltage out of range, the meter will automatically exit calibration mode in 10 seconds . “End” displays for one second and the meter returns to Normal Mode. MEASUREMENT PROCEDURES Note…...

4. The meter returns to Normal Mode. Automatic shutoff is now disabled. Note… The meter will default to automatic shutoff each time it is turned off. Automatic Temperature Compensation (model 850063) “ATC” displays at the top of the LCD . The temperature is displayed in either °C or °F.
5. “SA” displays for one second and the meter returns to Normal Mode. TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Action The meter Press POWER button for more will not turn than 0 .1 seconds . on / the Check whether the batteries are LCD display correctly inserted .

1. If the meter is on, press POWER button to turn the meter off . 2. Remove the battery cover on the back of the meter by using the slot to turn it clockwise. The cover will now come off easily when you turn the timer over.
4. Replace the battery cover, positioning the tabs so that the cover is flush with the meter. 5. Secure the cover by turning it counter-clockwise. Note… Recalibrate the meter after replacing the batteries. CARE AND MAINTENANCE The electrode should be soaked for at least 30 minutes before first use, or any time it has dried out.
• Clean it with a solvent miscible with water, such as ethanol or acetone. • Rinse the electrode carefully with water. SPECIFICATIONS Range Accuracy 850062 ±0 .2 0 ~ 14.00 0 .01 0 ~ 50°C / 850063 ±0 .1 32 ~ 122°F...
WARRANTY Sper Scientific warrants this product against defects in materials and workmanship for one (1) year from the date of purchase, and agrees to repair or replace any defective unit without charge.
