Bante210 Benchtop pH Meter Installing the Electrode Holder Take out the electrode arm from the packaging. The base plate of the electrode holder has a circular hole, the electrode arm has a connecting rod. Insert the connecting rod into the circular hole and swivel the electrode arm 90 .
Bante210 Benchtop pH Meter Insert the BNC connector into the connector socket labeled pH/ISE. Rotate and push the connector clockwise until it locks. After the connection is completed, DO NOT pull on the cable. Always make sure that the connector is clean and dry. Connecting the Temperature Probe Place the temperature probe into the circular hole of the electrode arm.
Bante210 Benchtop pH Meter Preparing the pH Buffer Solutions The Bante210 pH meter is packaged with 3 buffer packets required for pH calibration. • Open the pH7.00 buffer packet, place the reagent into a 250ml volumetric flask. Pour the distilled water 250ml to scale line, mix the solution until the reagent is completely dissolved.
Bante210 Benchtop pH Meter Setup Menu The Bante210 pH meter contains an integrated setup menu that is used to customize the displayed option to meet measurement requirements. The following table describes the functions of the menu items. MENU DESCRIPTION OPTIONS DEFAULT USA (pH4.01/7.00/10.01) Set the pH buffer group for calibration and auto-recognition.
Bante210 Benchtop pH Meter Temperature Compensation For better accuracy, we recommend the use of either a sensor with a built-in or a separate temperature probe for the calibration or measurements. Automatic Temperature Compensation Connect the temperature probe to the meter (Refer to page 5 “Connecting the Temperature Probe”). The ATC icon immediately appears on the display, the meter is now switched to the automatic temperature compensation mode.

Bante210 Benchtop pH Meter 3 points calibration Make sure that you have selected 3 points calibration in the setup menu. Repeat steps 1.2 to 1.3 above. When the first calibration point is completed, the display will show CAL2/pH4.01. The meter prompts you to continue with second point calibration.
Bante210 Benchtop pH Meter Temperature Calibration During the measurement process, if the temperature reading displayed differs from that of an accurate thermometer, the meter needs to be calibrated. Connect the temperature probe to the meter and place into a solution with a known accurate temperature. Press the key to enter the temperature setting mode.

Bante210 Benchtop pH Meter Measurement Press the key until the display shows the measurement unit “pH”. Mode Rinse the pH electrode with distilled water to remove any impurities adhering to the probe body. Place the electrode (and temperature probe) into the sample solution, stir the electrode gently. Record the measured value when the reading is stable.
Bante210 Benchtop pH Meter Electrode Care and Maintenance pH electrode Since pH electrode is susceptible to dirt and contamination, clean as necessary depending on the extent and condition of use. • After measuring: rinse the electrode in distilled water, store the electrode into the 3M KCL solution. •...
