Preface This instruction manual serves to explain the use of the pH 5+, pH 6+ and Ion 6+ meters. It functions in two ways: first as a step by step guide to help you operate the meter; second, it serves as a handy reference guide. This manual is written to cover as many anticipated applications of the pH 5+, pH6+ and Ion 6+ meters as possible.

Instruction Manual pH 5+, pH 6+, Ion 6+ 1. INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing the pH 5+, pH 6+, or Ion 6+ meter. These microprocessor- based handheld meters are economical and easy to use. It has a large custom LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) for clear and easy reading.
Instruction Manual pH 5+, pH 6+, Ion 6+ 2. GETTING STARTED 2.1 Description of Keypad Functions The pH 5+ and pH 6+ have four keys while the Ion 6+ meter has six keys on its splash- proof keypad. The common keys are ON/OFF, HOLD/ENTER, CAL and MODE. The Ion 6+ meter adds keys.
Instruction Manual pH 5+, pH 6+, Ion 6+ 2.2 Description of LCD Annunciators The large custom LCD consists of 3½-digit segments which uses annunciators for pH, mV or C (Temperature). No annunciator is shown in Ion mode. Other annunciators include “HO” (when HOLD function is activated) and “LO” (low battery condition). 2.3 Inserting &...
Instruction Manual pH 5+, pH 6+, Ion 6+ 2.4 Inserting New Batteries The battery compartment is found at the back of instrument. To open the battery compartment, push in the direction of arrow and lift up the cover. Note the polarity of battery before inserting into position.
Instruction Manual pH 5+, pH 6+, Ion 6+ BNC connector of pH, ORP, or Ion electrode 2.5 mm Phono plug for temperature measurement Insert the mini phono jack of temperature sensor into the socket on the meter. Unplug the phono jack when not in use or you measure pH without any temperature compensation.
Instruction Manual pH 5+, pH 6+, Ion 6+ 3. CALIBRATION 3.1 pH Calibration The meter is capable of calibrating up to 3 pH values using USA or NIST (nSt) pH buffer standards or 2 pH values with Low Ionic (Pb) pH buffer standard. All new calibration values will automatically override existing data.
Instruction Manual pH 5+, pH 6+, Ion 6+ 3. Press CAL to enter pH calibration mode. “CA” displays momentarily before the display flashes the current un-calibrated reading. 4. To abort or cancel calibration without accepting the new value, press CAL key. The meter will automatically revert to pH measurement mode.
Instruction Manual pH 5+, pH 6+, Ion 6+ Press ENTER key to confirm your selection. The meter will automatically revert to pH measurement mode. The meter will save the selected group indefinitely until changed. 3.1.3 Resetting User Calibrated Values The calibrated pH/mV/Ion values can be reset to factory default using the procedure below.
Instruction Manual pH 5+, pH 6+, Ion 6+ available include 0.1, 1.0, 10.0, 100.0 ppm. Recalibrate and ensure that consecutive calibration points are 1 decade apart from each other. Ensure that you use new or fresh standard solutions during calibration. Do not reuse ion standard solution as it may be contaminated and affect the calibration and accuracy of measurements.

Instruction Manual pH 5+, pH 6+, Ion 6+ 3. Press ENTER to confirm that the ppm value is the desired standard. The displayed value now shows the corresponding mV reading for the selected ppm value selected. Allow the reading to stabilise. 4.
Instruction Manual pH 5+, pH 6+, Ion 6+ If the calibration is not successfully stored into its memory, an error message “Er3” will be displayed. This occurs when the slope is lower than 15mV/decade or higher than 90mV/decade. 3.3 Millivolt (mV) Calibration (pH 6+ only) mV calibration is performed for Oxidization Reduction Potential (ORP / Redox) measurements, where you can adjust its mV value as a base value for measurements.
Instruction Manual pH 5+, pH 6+, Ion 6+ 3.4 Temperature Calibration 3.4.1 With Temperature Probe The temperature probe (ECPH5TEM01P) provided with the meter is factory-calibrated. Over time, temperature calibration may drift and require calibration. If there is a need to replace with the new probe you should calibrate the temperature probe prior to pH calibration.
Instruction Manual pH 5+, pH 6+, Ion 6+ 3.4.2 Without Temperature Probe (no ATC) If no temperature probe is used, the meter compensates for pH response based on a temperature value manually set by you or at 25.0 C (factory default). 1.
Instruction Manual pH 5+, pH 6+, Ion 6+ 4. MEASUREMENT 4.1 Taking Measurements 1. Before measurement, rinse pH/ORP electrode or Ion Selective Electrode temperature probe with clean water to remove any impurities stuck onto the bodies of probes. 2. Power on the meter using ON/OFF key. Press MODE key to select your desired mode of operation (pH, mV, Ion, or Temperature).
Instruction Manual pH 5+, pH 6+, Ion 6+ 5. ELECTRODE CARE AND MAINTENANCE For best results, keep the ISE capped dry and pH/ORP electrode bulb wet. Store the pH/ORP glass bulb with pH electrode storage solution. NEVER use deionised water for storage.
