— — — Chapter 7 — — — Menu Description In the measurement interface, long press the MENU button to enter the menu. The following is a detailed introduction to the menu content. 7.1 Probe Set 7.1.1 Probe Select Select the type of electrode connected to the meter. 7.1.2 Probe Cal After the new probe is connected to the meter, in order to eliminate the possible error between the probe and the meter, the meter needs to be calibrated first.

(2) Select “9.18 pH CAL”, the screen will display “9.18 pH”, press the key to start calibration; (3) “Please Wait...” appears on the screen and the current measurement value will be displayed later. After the calibration is completed, the meter automatically returns to the previous menu.
7.1.3 Probe State You can view and set the current electrode zero and slope status values. These values will be automatically generated after calibration, and it is generally not recommended that users modify them by themselves. Experienced users can judge the service life of the electrode by checking these status values.
7.3.2 Cleaning Output When selecting “Cleaning Output” in “Main Menu” -> “Alarm Setting” -> “Relay X” -> “Function Setting” menu , the relay is in the cleaning output state, the relay can be closed periodically to do cleaning control. 7.3.3 Cleaning State Select the status of the measured value during cleaning.

7.4.1 Output Type The output current type can be selected as “4-20mA” or “0-20mA”. 7.4.2 Channel Selection The measurement value corresponding to the current can be specified as the “main measurement channel” or “temperature channel” 7.4.4 Lower Value Specify the measured value corresponding to the maximum output current. 7.4.3 Upper Value Specify the measured value corresponding to the minimum output current.
7.6.7 Password Used to set the verification password to enter the menu in the measurement mode. The password is set to “000000” default, and you can enter the menu directly without password in the measurement mode. If the user sets other password, they will be prompted to enter the password when entering, and the password will be verified .
