1. Battery Installation

Please install batteries according to the following steps. *Please note direction of batteries: All POSITIVE

SIDES (“+”) FACING UP. (Wrong installation of batteries will cause damage to the tester and potential

hazards)

2. Keypad Functions

Short press —< 2 seconds

Long press —> 2 seconds

1. Short press to turn on the tester and long

press to turn off the tester.

2. When turned off, long press to enter

parameter setting.

3. In measurement mode, short press to turn

on backlight.

In calibration mode, press to change

calibration value (unidirectional)

In mode setting, short press to change

1. Long press to enter calibration mode.

2. In calibration mode, short press to con- firm

calibration.

3. When measured value is locked, short press

to unlock.

① Pull the battery cap up

② Slide the battery cap along to the direction of arrow

③ Open the battery cap

④ Insert the batteries (ALL POSITIVE SIDES FACING UP) (see graph)

⑤ Close the battery cap

⑥ Slide and lock the battery cap along to the direction of arrow

⑦ Fit the tester’s cap while making sure to push all the way down. The

tester’s waterproof design may be compromised if the cap is not fitted

correctly.

Complete kit

Preparation Before Use

1) Pour certain amount of Storage solution (KCl) into the probe cap, soak the probe for 3 to 5

minutes to activate the sensor (if frequently used, there is no need to soak).

2) The soaking solution is 3M KCl solution, which comes with the test kit. Users can also make it

by themselves by dissolving 25g KCl in 100 ml distilledwater.

ORP Calibration

1) Clean electrode in distilled water and dryit.

2) Pour certain amount of 222 mV ORP standard buffer solution into the calibration bottles

(about half volume of the bottle).

3) Short press to turn the meter on. Long press to enter calibration mode. If you need to

exit calibration mode,short press

4) Dip electrode in the standard buffer solution, stir gently, and allow it to

stand still in the calibration solution until astable reading is reached. When

stable icon comes up, press to adjust the calibration value

according to the table below(also on the buffer bottle’s label).

For example, if the temperature is around 25˚C, then adjust the calibration value to 222 mV. If the

temperature is around 20˚C, then adjust the calibration value to 227 mV.

press to complete the calibration.

ORP Measurement

Press to power on, clean the probe in distilled water and dry it. And place the probe in the

tested solution and stir gently and let it stand still. Read the measurement after comes up and

stays.

Notes

1) Usually there’s no need to calibrate for ORP testing. When used for a long time, users can

test it in 222 mV ORP standard buffer. If the error is big, please calibrate according to the

steps in 5.1 to 5.4.

2) The meter has self-diagnosis function. Please refer to the followed chart for detailed

information.

7.1 The cleaning and activation of ORP probes

After long-time use, the surface of the platinum sensor can be contaminated and cause

inaccuracy and slow response time. If that happened, the followed methods can be adopted to

clean and activate:

a) For contamination caused by inorganic substances, dip the probe into 0.1 mol/L dilute

hydrochloric acid for 30 minutes. Clean it with distilled water, soak it into the KCL

storage solution for 6 hours, and then it will be ready for use again.

b) For contamination caused by organic substances and oiliness, clean the platinum

surface with dishwashing liquid, and wash with distilled water. And then the probe will be

ready for use again after 6 hours’ soaking in the storage solution.

c) If the platinum surface is so severely contaminated that there forms an oxide film,

toothpaste can be used to clean the platinum surface, and then wash it with distilled

water. The probe will be ready for use again after 6 hours’ soaking in the storage

solution.

Parameter Setting

8.1 Setting chart

8.2 Parameter setting instruction

When turned off, long press to enter parameter setting mode; Press to switch from P1-

P2-…P6. Press , the parameter flashes; Press to choose parameter Press to confirm;

Long press to power off.

A) High-Low Measurement Heads-Up Examples (P1 andP2)

Heads-Up when measured value ≤120 mV:

Preset low value = 120 mV, highest value = 1000 mV, when measured value ≤120 mV (stable

icon displays on LCD); Red back-lit heads-up displays.

Heads-Up when measured value ≥150 mV:

Preset high value = 150 mV, lowest value = -1000 mV, when measured value ≥150 mV (stable

icon displays on LCD); Red back-lit heads-up displays.

Heads-Up when measured value in range of 120 mV and 150 mV:

Preset low value = 120 mV, highest value = 150 mV, when the measured value <120mV or

>150mV (stable icon displays on LCD); Red back-lit heads-up displays.

B) Automatic lock (P3):

Select “On” to activate auto lock function. When reading is stable for more than 10 seconds, the

tester will lock the value automatically, and HOLD icon will display on LCD. Press key to

cancel autohold.

C) Backlight (P4)

“Off”-turn off backlight, “On”-turn on backlight, “1”- backlight will last for 1 minute.

D) Temperature Unit (P5)

Select C˚ or F˚, the factory default is ˚C.

E) Factory default setting (P6)
