Instruction Card

Waterproof pHTestr 1 and 2.
File this card for future reference.
Before you Begin:
Remove the cap from the bottom
of the Testr to expose the electrode
bulb and reference junction. DO
NOT BE ALARMED if white
crystals are present on the cap
or electrode assembly. This is
normal and will dissolve during the
conditioning pre-soak. For
the conditioning pre-soak, pour a
small amount (about 1" deep) of
electrode storage solution, pH 4
buffer or tap water into a small cup
and soak the electrode for at least 30
minutes. If the electrode dries out
between uses, re-condition by using
this soaking procedure.
Calibration:
Calibration is necessary and should
be done regularly, typically every
day that the Testr is used. Some
applications will need less frequent
calibrations but this can only be
determined by trial and error.
Calibrating Waterproof pHTestr 1:
1. Turn the Testr on by pressing the
ON/OFF button.
2. Dip 1/2 to 1" of the electrode into
a pH 7.0 buffer for general pur-
pose use, into pH 4.0 if your tests
will be in acidic solutions, or into
a pH 10 buffer if your tests will be
in alkaline (or basic) solutions. If
the tests will be in solutions closer
to pH 7.0 than pH 4.0 or 10.0,
even though acidic or basic, use
pH 7 buffer for calibration.
3. Press the CAL button to enter the
Calibrate (CA) mode. A 'CA' will
flash on the display and then a
pH value close to the pH buffer
value will flash repeatedly.
4. After at least 30 seconds (about 30
flashes) press the HOLD/CON
button to confirm the calibration.
The display will show 'CON' and
