6. Battery Installation

Refer to the illustrations on page 2 of this manual.

The display will blink when battery power is insufficient.

1. Loosen the two screws holding the battery cover. Do not

discard the small washer.

2. Insert 4 x LR44 button cell batteries respecting the polarity.

3. Close the battery compartment.

7. Operation

7.1 General Operation

Refer to the illustrations on page 3 of this manual.

1. Remove the bottom and the inner cap to expose the

electrode. It is normal to find some whitish crystals on the

inner cap and electrode. Keep the sponge in the cap wet

to keep the electrode in a good storage condition.

2. Dip the electrode into the test solution. Press PWR and stir

the pH meter to get a stable reading.

3. A small dot will be flashing while the meter is in measuring

mode. The temperature (in °C or °F) will also be displayed.

4. Press HLD to freeze the current reading. Note that the dot

will stop flashing. Press HLD again to release the reading.

5. Turn off the meter by pressing PWR. Cover the electrode

with the cap and store the meter at an ambient temperature

between 0°C ~ 50°C (32°F ~ 122°F). Refer to

“7.4. Calibrating your Meter” to perform the 3-points

calibration.

7.2 Auto Power-Off

1. This meter will switch off after

approximately 20 minutes of inactivity.

2. Disable this function by holding HLD and PWR

simultaneously pressed before power-on. An “n” will briefly

appear onto the display. The function has been disabled.

The function will be reactivated after every power-off.

7.3 Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC)

1. Since pH values are temperature dependent, pH applications

require some form of temperature compensation to ensure

standardized pH values. This meter automatically corrects

the pH values based on the temperature of the measured

solution.

2. Hold CAL and PWR simultaneously pressed

before power-on. “°C” or “°F” will appear

on the display. Select your temperature unit

with HLD and press CAL to save.

3. “SA” will briefly appear on the display to

indicate the selection has been saved. This

selection will be saved after power-off.

7.4 Calibrating your Meter

1. Calibration is necessary and should be done regularly, even

on a daily basis when using the meter often.

2. Switch on your pH meter.

3. Place the electrode into the pH 4 test

solution (available at your chemist’s) and

press CAL to enter the calibration mode.

“CA” will briefly appear on the display. After

a few seconds “CAL” and the pH value will

appear on the display indicating the meter

has been calibrated.

4. Do the same with the pH 7 and pH 10 test solutions.

5. The meter will display “En” if the calibration

was not done correctly or if the probe could

not detect the test solution in the voltage

range below. In this case, recalibrate as per

above.

pH 4.00

pH 7.00

pH 10.00

97 mV….250 mV

-60 mV….60 mV

-250 mV….-97 mV

6. If the meter successfully recognizes the test solution, the

solution pH value (4, 7 or 10) will appear on the display. If

the displayed value differs slightly from the supposed value,

e.g. 4.01 instead of 4.00, press HLD to change the value. The

adjustable calibration range for pH 4 is 3.50 ~ 4.50, for pH 7

is 6.50 ~ 7.50 and for pH 10 is 9.50 ~ 10.50.

7. A stable value will automatically be saved.

8. Cleaning and Maintenance

Avoid touching the probe with bare hands and keep it wet by

moistening the sponge in the cap.

Rinse the probe with tap water or better, de-ionized water after

each measurement.

Remove the batteries from the meter if not used for a long time.

9. Troubleshooting

No display after power-on

Check the batteries. Replace them if necessary (see “6. Battery

Installation”).

Slow response

Clean the probe thoroughly with tap water and rinse with de-

ionized water afterwards.

Display indicates “- - -”

The pH value is out of the pH range (pH 0 ~ pH 14). The solution

is either too acid or too alkaline.

The displayed pH value is unstable

The probe is exposed. Dip it in the solution to be measured.
