Complete Kit Preparation Before Use 4.1 Things needed in addition to what’s in the box: A cup of distilled water (8-16oz) for rinsing the probe, and clean tissue paper for removing excess water. 4.2 For PH60 and PH60F: If the tester hasn’t been used for a long time (> 1 month), or the tester’s response is very slow, you can soak the probe in the 3M KCL storage solution overnight before use to restore the electrode’s sensitivity.

5.1.3 Dip the probe in the pH 7.00 buffer solution. 5.1.4 Long press to enter calibration mode, the screen will turn green (in calibration mode, if you decide to quit calibration, short press to return to measurement). 5.1.5 Stir the probe for a few seconds to eliminate potential air bubbles on the probe. 5.1.6 Allow it to stand still in the buffer solution until a stable reading is reached –...

6.2 Applications of each model: Model/Probe Application • General water solutions’ pH measurement such as hydroponics, greenhouse, aquaculture, aquarium, pools and spas, water PH60/Bulb probe treatment, beverage making, drinking water, education, environmental monitoring, etc. • Cheese, sushi rice, meat, fruit, dough, soil, solid culture medium and semi-solid medium measurement;...
The pH probe must be rinsed thoroughly after each use. Warm soap water can be used to clean off grease or other contaminants. b) The PH60 series testers are not designed for testing low ion-concentration liquid such as distilled or deionized water. To get a good measurement of these liquid, users need to use a specialized meter such as PH850-PW (AI5541).

7.2 Parameter setup method When turned off, long press to enter parameter setting→Short press to switch P1-P2- …P7→Short press , parameter flashing→Short press to choose parameter→Short press to confirm→Long press to go back to measurement mode. 7.3 Parameter setting instruction 7.3.1 Select standard pH buffer solution (P1): There are two options of standard buffer solutions: USA series and NIST series.
7.3.6 Factory default setting (P7) Select “Yes” to recover instrument calibration to the theoretical value (pH value in zero potential is 7.00pH, slope is 100%), parameter setting return to initial value. This function can be used when instrument does not work properly in calibration or measurement. Calibrate and measure again after recovering the instrument to factory default status.
11.2 How to replace the probe: Twist off the probe ring, unplug the probe, plug in new probe (pay attention to probe’s position), and twist on the probe ring. 11.3 The model numbers of the replacement probes that are compatible with the PH60 Series Meters: •...
