What’s in the Kit PH60S Tester Calibration Vials Keypad Functions Short press: < 2 seconds Long press: > 2 seconds 1. Short press to turn on the tester and long press to turn Battery cap off the tester. When turned off, long press to enter parameter setting.
Preparation Before Use Pull out the battery insulation slip, and take off the probe cap. Rinse off the probe in pure water (preferably distilled or deionized water. RO water or tap water is the alternative), then shake off excess water (see graph on the right). Perform at least a 2-point calibration.
replace the buffer solutions in the calibration vials with new ones to keep the accuracy. Keeping the freshness and cleanliness of calibration buffers is essential for accurate pH measurement. The tester can perform 1 to 3 points of automatic calibration and can recognize 5 types of pH standard solutions.
For tough contaminants, detach the sensor shield, soak the probe in Apera probe cleaning solution (AI1166) or detergent water for 30 minutes. Then use a soft brush to remove the contaminants. Afterwards, soak the probe in 3M KCL soaking solution for at least 1 hour. Rinse it off, then re-calibrate the tester before using again.
1-2 years depending on many factors such as frequency of use, nature of test samples, and how well it is maintained, etc. Apera Instruments recommends replacing the pH probe every 1 to 2 years to guarantee the optimal performance.
13 Notes a) Avoid testing in very high (>113°F) or very low (<41°F) temperature solutions as it will cause greater measurement error and potential damage to the probe. Test your samples and perform calibration close to room temperature as much as possible. b) Never use your finger to touch the glass membrane or use other material to rub it.
