WARRANTY INTRODUCTION These Sper Scientific Test Tube pH Pens (Models SP-850062/ 63 / 65 / 66 / 67) are designed for easy calibration and simple, accurate measurement. The 12 cm long probe is capable of testing samples even in narrow-mouthed containers.
FEATURES • Waterproof IP65 housing • Hold function • One-button, automatic three-point calibration • Automatic buffer recognition for calibration accuracy • Customizable calibration values within ± units of 4, 7, and 10 • Measuring stability indicator • Protective storage bottle with KCI storage solution for sensor •...
STANDARD 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 to 250 mV pH 7 00 -60 mV to 60 mV pH 10 00...
4. The meter will automatically recognize the buffer value, which will show on the screen. 5. Wait up to 10 seconds and "SA" will show on the screen indicating the calibration at that point is complete. 6. The meter will briefly display End and return to normal mode.

3. Continue to press the hold button until your desired pH solution is displayed. Note that you may have to go beyond +0.5 units to get to a lower value. 4. Once you have selected the desired buffer value, release the hold button and wait up to 10 seconds.
MEASUREMENT PROCEDURES Note… The electrode should be soaked for at least 10 - 30 minutes in KCL solution before first use, or any time it has dried out. Avoid allowing the probe to dry out. It is normal for white crystals to be present on the cap or electrode assembly.
