Page 10: Probe Connection Installation
Installation 3.2 Probe connection installation N O T I C E The ISFET probe connector and conductivity probe connector are keyed differently to prevent attachment of a probe to the wrong connector. The meters are designed to use only one type of pH probe at a time. If the meter is submerged, and the rubber plug is not installed on the 3.5 mm phono jack, the interior of the jack may fill with water although the interior of the meter itself remains sealed. -
Page 11: Connect The Conductivity Probe
Always turn off the meter when a probe is changed. Connect the BNC probe temperature sensor to the 3.5 mm phono jack or BNC connection Both the H160 and H170 use a 3.5 mm phono jack connector and a BNC connector. Refer to Section 3 Installation on page 7 to view the connections. - Page 12 Installation...

Push ENTER to save changes and return to setup mode. Push SETUP to return to setup mode without saving changes. 5.3 pH calibration The H160 and H170 meters accept one, two, or three calibration points. The meter defaults to a 2-point calibration. To calibrate the pH sensor: Push PH to put in the pH mode. - Page 28 pH Operations Push CAL. The CAL icon will flash. If the buffer is correct, push ENTER. The pH buffer value will flash until calibration is complete. If the pH buffer is incorrect, push the arrow keys to select another buffer. Repeatedly pushing or will display the choices of availability buffers 1.68, 4.01.
- Page 29 pH Operations When calibration is complete for that buffer, the meter will beep three times, and the display will show a flashing CAL 2 and the next pH buffer value factory default is 4.01).
