3.2.4. — Backlight and confirmation key (a) In measurement mode, short press to turn on or off the backlight. (b) In calibration mode or the parameter setting, press this key to make confirmation, and return to measurement mode. (c) When in mode, hold this key to change pH resolution: 0.01→0.1 pH in turn.
pH Measurement Short press to turn on the meter. Connect 201T-S pH electrode to the meter (See Section 5 for connection tutorial). The meter will automatically enter pH measurement mode. 6.1 pH Electrode The meter comes with the 201T-S 3-in-1 combination electrode with a built-in temperature sensor, which enables automatic temperature compensation.
6.2.3. Rinse off the pH electrode in pure water and remove excess water, then insert it into the pH4.00 buffer solution, make a quick stir and then hold it still. When the reading is stabilized and stays on screen, short press again to finish the 2 point calibration.
must be re-calibrated: • The electrode hasn’t been used for a long time or a new electrode is connected. • After measuring strong acid (pH<2) or strong base (pH>12) solutions. • After measuring fluoride-containing solution and strong organic solution. • There is a significant temperature difference between the test sample and the buffer solution.

6.7 Cleaning pH Electrode 1) The measurement is only as accurate as the electrode is clean. Always thoroughly rinse off the electrode before and after each test with pure water. 2) For tough contaminants, soak the electrode in Apera electrode cleaning solution (AI1166) for at least minutes.
6.9 Notes about pH 1) Never store pH electrode in pure water as it will damage the electrode. Always store the electrode in 3M KCL soaking solution (AI1107). 2) If you find any air bubble in the glass bulb of the pH sensor, simply shake the probe with force for a few times to remove it.
7.3 Sample Test Screw off the storage bottle. Rinse the electrode with pure water. Shake off excess water or blot-dry with clean tissue or kimwipe. Stir the electrode for a few seconds after it’s dipped into the sample solution and then hold it still.
