LCD DISPLAY LCD display indicates pH, mV, ORP (mV). Icon pH, mV indicates the unit of measure displayed. READY indicates the reading is stable. MAX, MIN indicate maximum or minimum memory value. HLD Holds the current reading on the display. REC indicates the meter is in recall mode.
SETUP MODE The advanced Setup Mode allows you to customize the following meter preferences and defaults: • P1.0 Memory Transmission • P2.0 Clear Memory • P3.0 Electrode (pH probe) • P4.0 Buffer Solution (pH) • P5.0 Ready Function • P6.0 Temperature Units •...
P2.0 Clear Memory 1. Press MODE to select the parameter you want cleared before entering Setup Mode. 2. Press SET for 2 seconds to enter setup. Press ▲ to select memory clear function. 3. The “CLR” icon appears on the middle display and P2.0 illuminates in the lower display.
4. Press MN/MX/AV to enter P3.1, the LCD displays one of four available slope values; P3.1, P3.2, P3.3, P3.4. If the value is less than 75% or more than 115%, change the probe immediately. 5. Press MN/MX/AV to enter P3.2, P3.3, and P3.4. Note...
Select Buffer 1. Press SET for 2 seconds to enter setup. 2. Press ▲ to select pH buffer. “BUF” will appear on the middle of the LCD and P4.0 will appear on the lower portion. 3. Press MN/MX/AV to enter P4.1. The default “NIS”...
3. Press MN/MX/AV to enter P6.1. The last selected unit “C” or “F” will appear on the LCD. 4. Press ▲ to select either display. 5. Press MN/MX/AV to save the selection. 6. Press ESC to return to Normal Mode. P7.0 Real Time Clock Setting This procedure adjusts the meter’s internal clock.
P8.0 Reset This procedure will reset the meter to factory default settings. Memory locations are not reset after this procedure. 1. Press SET for 2 seconds to enter setup. 2. Press ▲ to select the reset section of the meter. 3.

7. Press CAL to enter calibration mode. “CA” will flash on the LCD. The pH value appears on the main display and 2.00 appears on the secondary display (CUSTOM) or 4.00 appears on the secondary display (N.I.S.T.). 8. When the measured pH value is stable and the Ready function is enabled (Refer to P5.0 READY ICON page 15).
MEASUREMENT PROCEDURES 1. The meter is powered by 4 AAA batteries. Install batteries or connect an AC adapter to the power jack on the side of the meter. 2. Connect a sensor probe to the BNC connector on top of the meter. 3.
mV Measurement (± 499mV) mV measurement range is from -499 mV to +499 mV with a pH probe. 1. Follow Step 1 in the pH Measurement section to clean and soak the probe. 2. Press POWER to turn on. Press MODE to select mV mode. 3.
Hold Function This function allows you to freeze the current reading on the display in Normal Mode. 1. Press HLD in Normal Mode. “HLD” appears on the display. 2. Press HLD and the meter returns to Normal Mode. Record Memory The meter can store up to 99 records each of pH, mV, and ORP (mV) readings.
Recall Maximum & Minimum This function reviews a maximum and minimum value for all the data points stored in memory. 1. Press REC for 2 seconds to enter Recall Mode. “REC” will flash on the LCD. 2. Press MN/MX/AV to view the minimum value of the memory. Press MN/MX/AV again to view the maximum value.
MAINTENANCE pH Probe It is important to keep the pH probe wet when the meter is not in use. The probe is well protected by a plastic bottle containing solution. To use or store the probe: 1. Rotate the bottle to remove from the probe.

ORP Probe Cleaning A contaminated sensing element can result in a slow response and/or inaccurate reading. • If contamination is a mineral matter, put the sensing element in a HCl solution 0.1 N for 10 minutes. Then rinse in distilled water. •...
TROUBLESHOOTING Meter does not turn on: 1. Press POWER for more than 2 seconds. 2. Check connections of the power adapter or batteries. Unstable readings: 1. Stir the solution to make a uniform sample and make sure the sensor is completely immersed in the solution. The measurement must be done while probe is in the container/solution.
PC CONNECTION The meter can interface with a personal computer to capture on-line or stored data. Connection procedures: 1. Plug the USB cable into the cable jack on the side of the meter. 2. Plug D-sub 9 pin type connector into a computer Serial COM port. COM ports 1-8 can be used.
