    5.pH Calibration 5.1 Rinse the probe in pure water and dry it. 5.2 Pour certain amount (about half volume of the calibration bottle) of pH 7.00 and pH 4.00 buffer solution in separate calibration bottles; 5.3 Long press to enter calibration mode; Short press to exit.

    b) For pH Calibration buffer solutions, we recommend that users replace new buffer solution after 10 to 15 times of use to keep the standard buffer’s accuracy. Do NOT pour the used calibration solutions back into the solution bottles in case of contamination. c) pH probes will NOT give accurate and stable readings in distilled or deionized water.

    calibration. If it is inaccurate, follow the steps in 7.1 to 7.4 to complete the 2 point of calibration using 12.88 mS buffer solution. 8.Conductivity Measurement Press key to turn on the tester. Rinse the probe in distilled water and dry it. Dip the probe in sample solution, stir gently, and allow it to stand still in the solution until a stable reading is reached.

    e) TDS and conductivity is linear related, and its conversion factor is 0.40-1.00. Adjust the factor in parameter setting P5. The factory default setting is 0.71. Salinity and conductivity is linear related, and its conversion factor is 0.5. The tester only needs to be calibrated in Conductivity mode, then after calibration of conductivity, the meter can switch from conductivity to TDS or salinity.
