OPERATION MODES AND KEYPAD OPERATIONS A. Operation Modes The pH-meter has 6 operation modes: 1. Measure Mode. Measure Mode is used to make pH / conductivity / TDS / salinity and temperature measurements. 2. Calibration Mode. Calibration Mode is used to perform 1, 2 or 3 point pH calibration and conductivity calibration.

Operation Duration Function Mode Selects display mode. Pressing this key changes the display sequentially to Measure 0 second display pH/Temp, Conductivity/Temp, TDS/Temp and Salinity/Temp modes. Enters pH Mode pH Measure 2 seconds Calibration mode. Conductivity Enters Conductivity 2 seconds Measure Calibration mode.
2. The unit will also automatically turn off after 10 minutes of no key activity. B. Temperature Unit Select Mode 1. The PCE-PH 25 meter is factory pre-set in “°C”. 2. To change to “°F”, press “Mode” key to enter the “TDS Measure Mode”.
C. pH Calibration a. pH Buffer sets Select 1. In the “pH Measure Mode”, press and hold the “Scroll” key for 5 seconds to enter the “pH Buffer sets Select Mode”. 2. Press “Store” key to select 7.00 (7.00/4.01/10.01) or press “Scroll”...
Here are some standard solutions the user can prepare to calibrate the probe of the model PCE-PH 25. 1. Standard solution of 1413uS at 25°C: Accurately weight out 0.746 grams of research grade dried Potassium Chloride (KCL).

TDS FACTOR: 0.65 TEMP.COE.: 1.91% TEMP.REF.: 25¡ã c uS/cm 25.2 ¡ã c TDS FACTOR: The default factor value is 0.65. To change the TDS factor, use the “Store” and “Scroll” keys to adjust the value between 0.30 and 1.00. Press “Hold” key to save the new value and the unit will automatically go into the next calibration parameter.
Allow temperature to stabilize. The message “RANG” (range) may appear briefly on the display indicating auto- ranging. This is normal. After temperature stabilization, use the “Store” and “Scroll” keys to adjust the conductivity value to that of the conductivity standard at 25°C. Press “Hold” key to calibrate.
Note: The Model PCE-PH 25 is equipped with a non-volatile memory that can store up to 50 different sets of readings (pH/Conductivity/TDS/Salinity and temperature). Non-volatile memory will be retained even if power is lost. When all 50 memory locations are used up, the next set of data saved will overwrite the data stored in the first location and so on.
ONGOING MAINTENANCE A. Replace Electrode 1. Unscrew the electrode collar to remove the electrode & ATC assembly as shown in the right figure. 2. Remove the old electrode assembly from the electrode collar. 3. Insert a new electrode assembly and make sure the electrode fit back into the meter correctly.
