4) PH 7 calibration Connect the PH ELECTRODE with the " BNC socket " ( 3-10, Fig. 1 ) and immerse the electrode in the PH7 buffer solution. Press the " CAL Button " ( 3-8, Fig. 1 ) then the upper display shows texts of "...
4.00 The texts " CAL " will flash for around 5 seconds. After that, the meter calibrate itself automatically. The upper display will show the calibrated value, the lower display will show the temperature value. 4.00 25.0 6) Rinse the electrode with distilled water again. 7) Repeat above (4) to (5) procedures two times at least.
4-5 Others Above calibration procedures effect only when reading value within 1 PH of the calibration point. However if the reading value beyond * 1 PH of PH 7 ( > PH8, < PH6 ) * 1 PH of PH 4 ( > PH5, < PH3 ) * 1 PH of PH 10 ( >...
5. PH TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION Enable the meter to gain high accuracy measuring results from different kinds of solution, the temperature compensation calibration procedures are necessary to be executed. Manual temperature compensation calibration procedures please refer to 5-1 ( See below). Automatic temperature compensation calibration procedures please refer to 5-2 ( Page 14 ).

Use the " Up Button " ( 3-5, Fig. 1 ) and the " Down Button " ( 3-8, Fig. 1 ) to adjust the PH 4 default calibration value. The adjustment range of " PH4 default calibration value " is limited within 4.00.20 PH c.
Page 15
The upper display will show the values of " 10.00 " and the lower display will show the " PH 10 default calibration value ". 10.00 10.02 Use the " Up Button " ( 3-5, Fig. 1 ) and the " Down Button "...
5-2 Automatic temperature compensation 1) Plug the " Optional ATC Temp. Probe, TP-07 " into the " ATC Probe Input Socket " ( 3-11, Fig. 1 ). 2) Power on the instrument by pressing the " Power Button " ( 3-2, Fig. 1 ). 3) Press the "...
If the operating is under the " Manual temperature compensation ", then please refer to the above 5-1 calibration procedures. If the operating is under the " Automatic temperature compensation ", then please refer to the above 5-2 calibration procedures. 5) Place the electrode into the solution, then the instrument will have the PH value on the display.
