Instruction Manual PC 10 1. INTR ODUCTION Thank you for selecting the Waterproof PC 10 portable meter. The meter is a microprocessor- based instrument that measures pH, conductivity, and temperature with just one probe. This meter has many user-friendly features – all of which are completely accessible through the water-resistant membrane keypad.
Instruction Manual PC 10 2. D ISPLAY AND K EYPAD FU NCTION S 2.1. Display The LCD has a primary and secondary display. • The primary display shows the measured pH or conductivity (µS or mS) reading. • The secondary display shows the temperature in °C. The display also shows error messages, keypad functions and program functions.
Instruction Manual PC 10 2.2. Keypad The large membrane keypad makes the instrument easy to use. Each button, when pressed, has a corresponding graphic indicator on the LCD. See Figure 3. Function ON/OFF Powers on and shuts off the meter. The meter powers on in the mode it was shut off in.
Instruction Manual PC 10 3. PR EPARATION Inserting the Batteries The meter is packaged with 4 “AAA” alkaline batteries required for operation. To insert the batteries into the meter, follow the procedure outlined below. Use a Philips screwdriver to remove the two screws holding the battery cover. See Figure 6 below.
Instruction Manual PC 10 Connecting the Probe The Waterproof PC 10 meter uses a special combination pH / Conductivity / Temperature probe. The probe cable has a notched 6-pin connector to attach the probe to the meter. NOTE: Do not substitute other probes or electrodes. For replacement probe, see the “Accessories”...
Instruction Manual PC 10 4. CA LIBRATION 4.1. Important Information on Meter Calibration When you recalibrate your meter, old pH and conductivity calibration data are replaced on a point by point basis. For example, if you previously calibrated your meter at pH 4.0, 7.0, and 10.0, and you recalibrate at pH 7.0, the meter retains the old calibration data at pH 4.0 and pH 10.0.
Instruction Manual PC 10 4.2. Preparing the Meter for Calibration The pH/conductivity/temperature probe included with this meter is designed for use with this meter only. Do not substitute other types of probes or electrodes. For a replacement probe, see the “Accessories” section, page 21. Be sure to remove the protective cap of the pH probe before calibration or measurement.
Instruction Manual PC 10 4.3. Temperature Calibration The built-in temperature sensor included in the probe is factory calibrated. Calibrate your sensor only if you suspect temperature errors may have occurred over a long period of time or if you have a replacement probe.

Instruction Manual PC 10 Press the ENTER key to confirm temperature calibration. The CON indicator will flash to confirm calibration. See Figure 13. NOTES To exit from Temperature Calibration mode without confirming calibration, DO NOT press ENTER in step 6. Press CAL/MEAS instead. Figure 10: CONFIRM temperature Temperature calibration is restricted to ±5°C from calibration...
Instruction Manual PC 10 4.4. pH Calibration This instrument is capable of up to 3-point pH calibration to ensure accuracy across the entire pH range of the meter. You can perform 1, 2, or 3 point calibration with standard pH buffers of 4.01, 7.00 and 10.00.
Instruction Manual PC 10 After the reading has stabilized and the READY indicator is displayed, press ENTER to confirm calibration. A confirming indicator (CON) flashes and disappears. The meter is now calibrated to the buffer indicated in the secondary display. See Figure 13.
Instruction Manual PC 10 4.5. Conductivity Calibration The Important Information on Conductivity Calibration Your meter has four measuring ranges. You can calibrate one point in each of the measuring ranges (up to four points). If you are measuring values in more than one range, make sure to calibrate each of the ranges you are measuring.
Instruction Manual PC 10 4.6. Calibrating for Conductivity: Pour out two separate portions of your calibration MEAS standard and one of DI water into separate clean READY containers. necessary, press MODE select °C Conductivity Mode. The µS and mS indicator will appear on the right side of the display.
Instruction Manual PC 10 Press the ENTER key to confirm calibration. Upon confirmation, indicator appears briefly. The meter automatically switches back into Measurement mode. The display shows calibrated, temperature compensated conductivity value. See Figure 21. For calibration in other ranges (maximum: four ranges) repeat steps 1 through 6 with the appropriate calibration standards.
Instruction Manual PC 10 5 . M EA SUR EM EN T The READY indicator appears on the display when MEAS the readings stabilise. It will turn off if the readings start to fluctuate. NOTE: Be sure to remove the protective cap of the pH electrode before measurement.
Instruction Manual PC 10 6. HOLD FUNCTION This feature lets you freeze the value of the pH or conductivity reading for a delayed observation. HOLD can be used any time when in MEAS mode. To hold a measurement, press the HOLD key while in measurement mode.
Instruction Manual PC 10 7. PROB E CAR E AND MA INTENANC E Under typical operating conditions, the probe will need to be replaced every 6 to 12 In extreme applications, the probe may wear out sooner. Proper care and months.
