The Trace2O HydroLite HL101 operates as a pH and temperature meter with an LCD display that shows measured values, units, and mode indicators. It has three modes: MEAS (measurement), CAL (calibration), and SETUP. The unit features automatic temperature compensation (ATC) and a HOLD function to freeze readings.
To use it, remove the electrode cap and, if needed, soak the electrode in 3M KCL solution or tap water for at least 15 minutes. Do not use distilled or deionized water. Turn the device on by pressing the ON/OFF key. To turn it off, hold the ON/OFF key for 5 seconds or allow it to auto-off after 8 minutes of inactivity. The auto-off function can be disabled in the setup menu.
The device supports 1 to 3-point calibration using USA (pH 4.01/7.00/10.01) or NIST (pH 4.01/6.86/9.18) standards. It measures pH in the range of -1.00 to 15.00 with an accuracy of ±0.01 pH and temperature from 0 to 60°C with an accuracy of ±1°C. It operates on two AAA batteries.

Introduction: The HydroLite® HL101 is a pocket-sized pH and temperature tester. This manual provides instructions on use, with a step-by-step operating guide, as well as care and maintenance instructions. Components: ● HydroLite® HL101 pocket pH/temperature tester ● pH Buffer Solutions (pH4.01/7.00) Keypad: The HL101 pocket pH/temperature tester uses a simple three-button membrane keypad, with graphical symbols to describe the function of each key.

Power On/Off: ● Press ON/OFF key to turn on the unit, the display shows measured value. ● Press and hold the ON/OFF key for 5 seconds, the unit will turn off. ● If no key is pressed for 8 minutes, the unit will automatically turn off to conserve power. Note: The auto-off function can be disabled if required –...

Changing the default parameters: 1. Press and hold the CAL key for 3 seconds to enter the setup menu; the unit goes to buffer standard selection mode, the display shows “USA/BUF” (USA standard). 2. Press CAL key to select the USA or NIST standard for pH buffers. Press ENTER key to confirm;...
7. Press CAL key to set temperature value. Press ENTER key to confirm; the display shows “YES/HOLD” indicating that the auto-hold function is enabled. Enter If the auto-hold function is enabled, the unit will automatically sense a stable endpoint reading and freeze the reading in the display. If you disable this function, the unit allows user to freeze the reading in the display manually by pressing the HOLD key.
pH Calibration: The HL101 pocket pH/temperature tester allows up to 3 point calibration. We recommend that you perform at least a 2 point calibration for best accuracy. The unit automatically recognises and calibrates to the following standard buffer values. ● USA Standard Buffer Options: pH 4.01, 7.00, 10.01 ●...

Rinse the pH electrode with distilled water. Immerse the electrode in the pH 4.01 buffer solution. Stir the solution gently. Press ENTER key to confirm. Wait for the measured value to stabilize; the display shows electrode slope and “END”. 2 point calibration is completed. Enter 3 POINT CALIBRATION (not required for normal operation): Ensure that 3 point calibration is selected in the setup menu.

Electrode Care and Maintenance: ● For best results, always keep the pH electrode membrane wet. ● Ensure that the electrode is thoroughly washed with distilled water after each use. ● During extended periods of disuse, store the sensor with electrode storage solution. DO NOT use deionised or distilled water.
