3.5.4 Battery The meter adopts 3x AA batteries. Please use LR6 alkaline battery to ensure the battery quality. Battery life > 200 hours (without backlight). When LCD displays icon, please replace with new batteries, see Diagram - 6. Diagram- 6 PH MEASUREMENT 4.1 pH electrode information 4.1.1 The meter connects to plastic combination pH electrode, with BNC connector. -

4.2.2 Calibration mode The meter can adopt 1 to 3 points of calibration. The 1 point must be using 7.00 pH (or 6.86 pH) buffer solution, and then choose other buffers to do 2 point and 3 point. Please refer to Table-3 for details. -
Page 10: Sample Test
4.3.3 The 3 point calibration Repeat the steps as per Section 4.3.2, use pH10.01 buffer solution, and complete the 3 point calibration. The bottom left of LCD indicates 4.4 Sample test Rinse pH electrode in distilled or deionized water, allow it to dry, and submerge it in the sample solution. -

4.5.7 Factory default setting The meter has a function to return to factory default setting, which can be set up in P1.3. All calibration data will be deleted, and the meter will restore to the theory value (zero electrical potential of pH is 7.00, the slope is 100%). Some functions restore to the default value (refer to Appendix - 1). -

Check whether pH buffer solution is correct. Wrong pH buffer solution or the 2. Check whether the meter connects the buffer solution out of range. - Page 13 4.9.2 Calibration buffer solution For calibration accuracy, the pH of the standard buffer solution must be reliable. The buffer solution should be refreshed often, especially after heavy use. 4.9.3 Protect glass bulb The sensitive glass bulb at the front of the combination electrode should not come in contact with hard surfaces.
