The permanent protective plating on the unit serves not just as impact protection but also as a storage compartment for the electrode and as an anti-slip de- vice when the meter is used in an upright position. Microprocessor technology and 4 x AA 1,5 V batte- ries allow unit operation without battery change for 15,000 hours or more.
An internal memory for 20 results is integrated in the unit as standard. The memory stores location, result and temperature. The memory is called up via the display. Rel mV °C °C MEAS HOLD °F Meas Hold Store Menu 3. Connections Temperature sensor “T”, 4mm 1-pin Temperature sensor “REF”...

6. Start up The unit is supplied with integrated batteries as stan- dard and is therefore ready for immediate use. You have to unscrew the unit to insert or change the batteries. When inserting the batteries, ensure correct polarity! Screw the unit back together carefully without exer- ting too much pressure on the gasket seal.
is defective, the display still shows pH or mV results. However, these results are not valid results! The electrode or temperature sensor must be plug- ged in before the unit is switched on. Switch the unit on via the [On/Off] key. The system must be calibrated when the system is started up (see Calibration).

The display shows Auto/Hold in alternating mode to- gether with the result. Once a stable reproducible value is present, the result is shown permanently in the display (“frozen”). The display also shows HOLD and the automatically set or manually entered temperature. If you press the [Hold] key again, the measuring cycle Hold starts anew and runs until the stability criteria are met.
8. Configuration of the unit To configure the unit, press the [Menu] key. The first menu item appears. Menu If you press the [Menu] key again, the display jumps to the next menu item. You can set the various parameters using the [▲] [▼] keys.
8.2 CAL = Calibration: selection of calibration (only with pH function) You can choose between 1, 2 and 3-point calibration. 1-point calibration: Calibration of the pH electrode is performed at a ran- dom point. The electrode slope is always based on the theoreti- cal slope of -59.2mV/pH.
Page 13
Percentage calculation of the electrode status is ba- sed both on asymmetry potentials and on slopes (gra- dient of the pH characteristic) of the electrode. The electrode condition is then determined by the worst result. The admissible characteristic data of the pH electrodes are as follows: Asymmetry potential of the electrode at 25°C in mV Max.
8.4 Selection of temperature unit °C /°F • °C All temperature values in degrees Celsius • °F All temperature values in degrees Fahrenheit (°C = 0.556*°F-17.8 or °F = 1.8*°C+32) 8.5 Power off: automatic unit switch-off If no key is pressed during the switch-off delay peri- od, the unit switches off automatically after the selec- ted time has run down.

9.5 Calibration point 3: 'CAL. 3' (only with 3-point calibration) Insert the electrode and the temperature sensor (if pre- sent) in buffer solution 3 (e.g. Tintometer standard se- ries pH 10.00). In the case of manual buffer setting, [Pt.1] appears in the secondary display.
You can enter the temperature of the third buffer solu- tion using the keys. [▲] [▼] The value is stored when you press the [STORE] key, and the status of the electrode is displayed. Store N.B.: A flashing display during manual buffer value input means that the selected buffer pairs are numerically too close.
You can use keys to switch between the stored [▲] [▼] results. As soon as you press the [STORE], [MEAS] or [HOLD] Store Hold key, the unit reverts to the corresponding measuring mode. 10.3 Deleting stored results If you press the [Store] key for longer than 2 seconds, the unit switches to the delete menu [CLR].
