Reading condition (pH 6 only) The OAKTON Acorn meter has four keys on its splashproof keypad. These keys are ON/OFF, HOLD/ENTER, CAL and MODE. ON/OFF: Powers meter on and shuts unit off. Meter directly enters measurement mode when you turn it on.
Switching the meter on 3. Preparation Press the ON/OFF key to power up your meter. All the LCD segments display for a few seconds as the Inserting the batteries meter goes through a self-diagnostic test. The LCD then switches into pH measurement mode. The battery compartment is found at the If the LCD then displays "Ur"., the electrode is back of the instrument.
Repeat with pH buffers 4.01 and/or 10.00 4. Calibration for best accuracy. NOTE: This meter has automatic buffer recogni- tion which identifies the correct pH buffer values pH calibration during calibration. If buffers other than 4.01, 7.00 or 10.00 are used, or the electrode has worn out, This instrument is capable of up to three-point calibration to ensure accuracy across the LCD will flash "Er1".
Millivolt (mV) Calibration 5. Measurement mV calibration is performed for ORP (Redox) measurements, where you can adjust its mV values as a base value for measurements. Contact your OAKTON distributor Taking Measurements for ORP electrodes. Press MODE/INC key to enter mV mode. LCD displays "mV".
7. Troubleshooting 6. Electrode care and maintenance Problem Cause Solution Storage Err flashes Wrong or contaminated Use fresh buffer on LCD buffer used during solution: pH 4.01, 7.00, For best results, keep the pH bulb wet. Store the pH bulb in the electrode soaker calibration or 10.00 bottle filled with electrode storage solution.
