  • Page 4 Calibration (pH only) The sensitivity of a pH electrode degrades over time, it is very important to frequently calibrate the meter to the electrode. pH electrodes can be thought of as batteries in that they run down with time and use. Calibration is performed using standard buffer solutions at room temperature (78°F, 25°C).
  • Page 5: Automatic Temperature Compensation (Atc)

    Measuring pH Electrodes should always be rinsed before and between samples with distilled or DI (de-ionized) water to remove all traces of storage solution, process media, or previous test solution. Connect the pH electrode to the meter. Turn the meter on using the on/off button .
  • Page 6: Storing And Recalling Readings

    Storing and Recalling Readings This instrument has the ability to store up to 25 measurement readings. At a later time the readings can be recalled and viewed. Readings are saved even after the instrument has been turned off. STORE Readings The steps below cover the STORE process in detail: Take a measurement as described earlier in this manual.
  • Page 7: Battery Replacement

    Battery Replacement The 9 volt alkaline battery that powers the instrument requires replacing when all battery icon ‘fill bars’ are depleted. To replace the battery follow the steps below: Disconnect the electrode from the instrument. Remove the instrument’s protective jacket by pulling it over the top of the meter (ensure that the electrode is disconnected).
  • Page 8 Electrode Maintenance and Troubleshooting Most pH measurement difficulties are caused by the electrode. Careful handling and proper storage of the electrode will increase measurement accuracy and electrode life. Electrodes should be rinsed to remove all traces of storage solution, process medium, or previous test solution.
