4.1.5 Wait for the reading to stabilize (when stays on the screen), then short press to finish the first point calibration. After calibration is completed, the tester will return to measurement mode. Icon will appear at the bottom left of the screen, indicating a successful 1-point calibration (the middle point).
5. pH Measurement 5.1 How to Take pH measurements Short press to turn on the tester. Rinse the probe in pure water, shake off excess water. Insert the probe in your sample solution, make a quick stir and hold still. Record the reading when it is stabilized ( comes up and stays on screen).
Calibration Indication Icon Calibration Standards Measuring Range 84 μS 0 - 200 μS 1413 μS 200 - 2000 μS 12.88 mS 2 - 20 mS (2000 - 20,000 µS) For conductivity calibration solutions, we recommend that users replace new solutions after 5 times of use to keep the standard solution’s accuracy.
8. Probe Cleaning 8.1 The tester is only as accurate as the probe is clean. Always thoroughly rinse off the probe before and after each measurement with pure water in a container or with a wash bottle. 8.2 For tough contaminants, detach the sensor shield, soak the probe in Apera probe cleaning solution (AI1166) or detergent water for 30 minutes.
