Getting Started

Setting up the meter

1. Place batteries (included) into the device. Refer to Battery

Replacement section of this manual.

2. Remove the sample cup in order to access the probes.

3. Remove the sleeve which protects the probes.

4. Calibrate the probe prior to first use and every month by referring to

the Calibration section of this manual.

Measurement

1. Fill the bottom 1/3 of the sample cup with the water sample. Make

sure to collect the water at least 1.5” from the surface. The other

option is to submerse the probes directly into the water sample.

2. Press the button.

The most recent measurement will always appear along with the

icon.

3. Remove the sleeve and attach it to holding area. Immerse the

Safedip probe in the water sample. Make sure the probes are

completely submersed.

4. Press the START button to begin a new measurement.

5. During the new measurement, the will blink before all stabilized

parameters are achieved.

6. When measurement is finished, a beep will be heard and newest

data will be displayed. The data will be saved in the memory until the

next measurement. Only the latest measurement is stored and all

prior measurements are discarded.

7. In order to view the latest readings at anytime, press .

8. If a new measurement is desired, repeat steps 3-6.

9. When finished using the meter, press the once to turn the

device off. If you forget to do so, the meter will turn off automatically

after 1 minute.

10. Always rinse the probes with fresh tap water after use. Replace

the sleeve in order to keep the probes wet. Failure to keep probes wet

will void the warranty.

Basic Operation

1) Power ON/OFF:

The SAFE-DIP™ uses two AAA batteries. If the batteries are weak,

the icon indicator will appear on the display. Press the ON/OFF

button to turn the SAFE-DIP™ on or off. The auto power off feature

will turn off the SAFE-DIP™ automatically after 1 minute of non-

use if no buttons are pressed.

2) Toggle C/ F:

To change the displayed temperature units between °C or °F:

o o

With the SAFE-DIP™ ON, press C/ F button .

3) New Measurement:

When the meter is powered on, the LCD display will display the

readings from the very last measurement. The icon will also be

displayed. Press START button to start a new measurement. During

the new measurement, the icon will blink before all stabilized data

are achieved. (Please see detailed explanation in the Measurement

Procedure section.)

Calibration Procedure

Calibration should be performed once a month. In order to calibrate,

a buffer solution is used. This solution is easily made using the buffer

packets provided with the original purchase. The buffer solution

insures the accuracy of the Safedip digital reader.

To create a buffer solution, follow these steps:

1.Empty entire contents of 1 buffer packet into a cup with 8 oz tap

water.

2.Stir the solution using a spoon for 20 seconds or until powder is

completely dissolved.

To calibrate, follow these steps:

1. Turn ON the Safedip.

2. Immerse the probes completely into the cup with buffer solution.

3. Gently swirl the probes to remove possible gas bubbles on the

probe tip.

4. With the probe in the solution, press and hold the CAL button for

more than 3 seconds and the 7.0 value will be displayed.

Release the button and the 7.0 value will blink. Press CAL button

again and the will then be displayed until calibration is

finished.

5. After the calibration is completed, the will be displayed along

with the calibration value of 7.0. While the 7.0 value is blinking,

press at anytime to abort.

Maintenance

Probe Care and Storage

1. Rinse the probe in distilled or tap water.

2. Store the Safedip with the probe sleeve over the

electrode. Always keep the sponge in the cap soaked with

tap water or pH 7 buffer solution.

3. Always rinse the probes in distilled or tap water between

measurements to avoid cross contamination. Double rinsing

is recommended when high accuracy is required.

4. Do not touch the probes. Touching the surface of the

probes may damage and reduce the life of the probes.

pH Probe Replacement

1. Unscrew and remove the pH probe collar. Twist collar

counter-clockwise.

2. Gently pull the probe away from the meter until it

disconnects from the probe socket.

3. To attach a new probe, align the slots and carefully twist

the probe clockwise into the meter socket.

4. Firmly tighten the probe collar to create a seal with the

rubber gasket between the probe and the meter.

Probe Cleaning Recommendations

Do not soak the probe in any cleaning solution. To do so may

cause a reference potential shift which will cause

degradation in performance. When cleaning the probe, use

tap water and be careful not to scratch or damage the glass

sensing surface.

Battery Replacement

1. Use a coin to twist off the battery compartment cap.

2. Replace the two AAA batteries. Observe polarity.

3. Replace the battery compartment cap and make sure it is

tightly secured to avoid water intrusion.
