Figure 5-3 Selection of standard groups and standard solution After selecting the standard solution group, we need to select the standard buffer solution used for calibration from the standard solution group. The instrument supports up to 5-point calibration, that is, up to 5 standard solutions can be selected.
It allows user to input the temperature. 5.4.5 Data Management Settings 5.4.5.1 Sample ID type The instrument supports three setting methods of Sample ID: number order, time order, and manual. - Number order: The sample ID No. is increasing with series number. - Time order: The sample ID No.
5.4.8.6 Software version Users can find the software version information on the general setting page. 5.5 pH Measurement 5.5.1 Calibration Preparation The electrode slope and zero potential of pH electrodes drift slightly over time. To accurately measure pH, it is recommended to calibrate the pH electrode before use, the instrument supports 1–5-point calibration.

- Connect the ATC probe or enter the temperature manually. 2. Press the F2 "Calibrate" for one-parameter measurements or press the F2 "Calibrate"-"pH Calibration" for multi-parameter measurements. 3. Put the cleaned electrode into pH 4.01 standard solution. 4. Wait for the instrument to display “Auto Mode Matched”, press the F4 “Start”. 5.
Figure 5-8 pH measurement information 5.6 Data Management Press "Data" to view the detail of results. The meter stores the measurement results independently according to the measured parameters. The meter provides data Storage 1000 sets for each parameter (pH/pX/ISE/EC/Resistivity/TDS/Salinity/DO/Saturation). The user can press "Delete" into the delete menu. It allows users to select the current data or all data to delete.

6. Maintenance/Troubleshooting 6.1 Meter Maintenance The correct use and maintenance of the instrument can ensure the accurate and reliable performance of the instrument. Maintenance plays an important role in pH measurements, which have high input impedance and are susceptible to damage from static electricity and electromagnetic field disturbances. Additionally, exposure to chemicals or harsh use environments can affect performance.
