The battery symbol appears on LCD
The meter can not power on
To install the batteries:
1. Turn off the meter.
2.
3. Replace the old batteries with four new
button cells LR44.
Loose the battery cover in counter-
clockwise direction. (DON'T discard the

and
turn it tightly in clockwise direction.
1. Please re-calibrate the meters after
changing batteries.
2. Remove battery from instruments
that you do not plan to use for a
month or more. Do not leave battery
in instrument.

2. Dip the electrode into the test solution.
Press " " to power on the meter
and tir it to get a stable reading.
3. For 86841/851/861, a small dot " "
is flashing while the meter is in
measurement mode. The LCD not only
shows the measured pH value but
also displays the temperature on
model 86851 and 86861.

procedures.
6.Once finishing the measurement, clean
the electrode, put back the cap, store

the meter under the 0~50 C.
This meter will shut off automatically 20
minutes of inactivity. For operating longer
time, you can disable the sleep mode.
To disable the auto power off:
AUTO POWER OFF

Calibration is necessary and should be
done regularly, recommended everyday
if the meter is used often. The unique
calibration design of the meter features
automatic buffer recognition to avoid errors.
CALIBRATION MODE (CAL)

1. Power on the meter.
2. Place the electrode into a buffer solution
(4,7or10), pH7 should be calibrated first
and then 4 or 10 pH for better accuracy
3. Press " " or " CAL " to enter pH
calibration mode. The text "CA" ( for
86861 is "CAL") will appear on the LCD
for one second and then pH value
(4,7 or 10) will be displayed on the LCD.

4. If probe or buffer is in error:
If the buffer is incorrectly inserted or
the probe is damaged or the probe
can not detect buffer in below voltage
range, the meter will escape calibration
mode automatically after 10 seconds.
Text "En" or "End" (86861)
will appear on the LCD
in one second and then
will go back to normal
status.

Acceptable voltage range of each point:
5. If the probe recognizes the buffer:
If the probe successfully recognizes the
buffer, the buffer pH value (4 or 7 or 10)
will appear on the display in 2 seconds.
If the calibration buffer is not 4,7,10 but
another value, such as 4.01, just
press " " to change the value.

7. To save the calibration value:
When the electrode reads a stable value
and user stops pressing any keys, the
meter will automatically save the value
and then escape the calibration mode.
6. The adjustable cal. point range for 4.0
pH is from 3.50 to 4.50. For 7.0 pH is
from 6.50 to 7.50. For 10.0 pH is from
9.50 to 10.50

8. Rinse the probe with de-ionized water
or a rinse solution (tap water...) after
each measurement to last the meter's
life.
Always rinse the pH electrode in
de-ionized water or rinse solution
(tap water......) before next use.
Never touch or rub glass bulb in order
to last pH electrode life.
Please always keep the pH glass bulb
wet by using the cap to protect and
store the electrode.
MAINTENANCE
Make sure the electrode is clean.
Between measurements, rinse the
electrode with deionised water. If
the eletrode has been exposed to
a solvent immiscible with water,
clean it with a solvent miscible with
water e.g. ethanol or acetone and
rinse carefully with water.
Store the electrode carefully.
