  • Page 4: Introduction

    Introduction 1.0 Introduction Thank you for selecting our Micro 600 pH portable meter. This microprocessor- based handheld instrument is both economical and easy to use. The Micro 600 pH measures pH, mV (ORP) and temperature (ºC). Each meter includes 4 x alkaline “AAA” batteries, a rubber armour/stand, pH7 buffer, pH4 buffer, Electrode Storage Solution, Deionised water, pH Electrode, Temperature Probe and instruction manual.

To connector of remove, rotate the connector in counter- pH, ORP, or clockwise direction until it unlocks, and slide Ion Selective...
  • Page 8: Calibration

    Calibration 3.1 pH Calibration The Micro 600 pH meter is capable of up to three-point calibration with standard pH buffer values at pH 4.01, 7.00 and 10.01 to ensure accuracy across the entire range of the meter. It also allows offset adjustment in mV and Temperature modes.
  • Page 9: Resetting Used Calibrated Values

    Calibration 3 Pour pH buffer calibration standard solution into a clean, dry container and dip your pH electrode and temperature probe in the solution. Swirl gently or stir and wait for reading to stabilise (approx. 30 seconds depending on your electrode condition). 4 When the pH reading has stabilised, the pH annunciator will stop blinking.
  • Page 10: Millivolt (Mv) Calibration

    Calibration 1 Power off the meter. Press and hold CAL then press ON/OFF. If successful, “rST” will blink on the display. Release both keys. 2 Press HOLD/ENTER to enter the reset menu. 3 Press MODE to toggle between No Reset (nO), Calibration Reset (CAL), or Factory Reset (FCt).
  • Page 11: Temperature Calibration

    Calibration 2 Press CAL to begin mV calibration mode. “CA” (calibrate) will display briefly. The un-adjusted mV value will blink. 3 Use MODE/INC to adjust the reading to the desired value. The maximum adjustment is ± 50 mV. 4 When the reading has stabilised, the mV annunciator will stop blinking. Press HOLD/ENTER to confirm the value.
  • Page 12: Without Temperature Probe (Manual Temperature Compensation)

    Calibration 2 Press CAL to begin temperature calibration mode. “CA” (calibrate) will display briefly. The un-adjusted °C value will blink. 3 Compare the measured value of the temperature probe with the reference thermometer. Use MODE/INC to adjust the reading to the desired value. The maximum adjustment is ±...
  • Page 13 Calibration 1 Turn on the meter and select °C mode by pressing MODE if necessary. Disconnect the temperature probe. 2 Press CAL to begin temperature calibration mode. “CA” (calibrate) will display briefly. The factory default temperature 25.0°C value will blink. 3 Use MODE/INC to adjust the reading to the desired value.
  • Page 14: Measurement

    Measurement Taking Measurements 1 Before measurement, rinse the pH/ORP electrode and temperature probe with clean water. 2 Power on the meter. Press MODE key to select your desired mode of operation (pH, mV, Ion, or Temperature). 3 Dip both probes gently into an aqueous test sample, swirl or stir gently and allow the reading to stabilise.
  • Page 15: Electrode Care And Maintenance

    For best results, always keep the pH electrode bulb wet. Store the pH bulb with electrode storage solution. Electrode storage solution is available as part of the Palintest Electrode Care Pack (see Accessories Section). If electrode storage solution is not available, use tap water or buffer solution.
