Notes
A. Select standard pH buffer solution (P1) There are two options of
standard buffer solutions: USA series and NIST series.
B. High and Low Measurement Heads-Up Examples (P1 and P2)
Alert when measured value ≤3.20 pH: Preset lowest value (P2) = 3.20
pH, highest value (P3) = 14.00 pH, when measured value is ≤3.20
pH (stability icon (  ) displays on LCD), the red backlight appears on
display.
Alert when measured value ≥8.60 pH: Preset highest value (P3) = 8.60
pH, lowest value (P2) = 0.00 pH, when measured value is ≥8.60 pH
(stability icon (  ) displays on LCD), the red backlight appears on
display.
Alert when measured value ≤3.20 pH or ≥8.60 pH: Preset lowest
value (P2) = 3.20 pH, highest value (P3) = 8.60 pH, when measured
value is lower than 3.20 pH or higher than 8.60 pH (stability icon (  )
displays on LCD), the red backlight appears on display.
C. Automatic Lock (P4)
Select "On" to activate auto lock function. When reading is stable for
more than 10 seconds, the tester will lock the value automatically,
and "HOLD" icon will appear on the bottom left of the screen. Press
CAL/ key to cancel HOLD on reading.
D. Backlight (P5)
Select "Off" to turn off backlight function, "On" to turn on backlight
unction, or "1" to have backlight last for 1 minute.
E. Temperature Unit (P6)
Select °C or °F; the factory default is °C.
F. Factory Default Setting (P7)
Select "Yes" to recover instrument calibration to the theoretical value
(pH value in zero potential is 7.00 pH, slope is 100%), parameter
setting returns to initial value. This function can be used when
instrument does not work properly in calibration or measurement.
Calibrate and measure again after resetting the unit to factory
default status.
ORP Measurement
ORP stands for Oxidation-Reduction Potential. ORP is a measure of
the cleanliness of the water and its ability to break down
contaminants. Note that ORP sensor module 35634-58 or 35634-68
must be purchased separately (see Ordering Information).
Once ORP sensor probe is attached to tester, press MODE/△ key to
enter ORP mode. Rinse the probe in distilled water and dry it. Dip
/MEAS key
the probe in sample solution, stir gently, and allow it to stand still
until a stable reading is reached. Get readings after measurement
stability icon (  ) appears and remains on the screen.

Screw off the probe/sensor ring, unplug the probe, plug in the new
replacement probe (pay attention to the probe's position), and
rescrew on the sensor ring.
Battery Installation
The tester uses four AAA batteries. Please install batteries accor ing
to the following steps. Note the correct direction of battery installa-
tion: the positive side (+) of every single battery must face up.
Incorrect installation of batteries will cause damage to the tester and
create a potential hazard.
