The microprocessor based pH/ORP/Temperature Meter
offers quick response and high accuracy. Simultaneously measure and display pH from 0 to 14 pH (0 to 1999 mV) and temperatures up to 200°F (100°C). Model PHO-1 meter features
manual or automatic temperature compensation, auto buffer
recognition, and data logging capabilities. The recording interval can be defined by the user. The meter accepts any pH
electrode with a BNC connector. For additional convenience,
select model PHO-1K kit, which contains a meter, RS-232
cable, batteries, software, pH electrode, temperature probe,
gender changer, carrying case and manual.

SETUP PROCEDURE
Please follow the steps to set up the parameters for calendar
year, month, day and time (hour:minute), manual temperature
compensation (MTC), and recording time interval.
1. Press ENTER for 2 seconds until a second beep is heard.
This signals that you are entering the setup mode.
2. To change the year press the UP or DOWN arrow keys.
3. Press the RIGHT arrow key to set up for next parameter.
4. To change the month press the UP or DOWN arrow keys.
5. Press the RIGHT arrow key to set up for next parameter.
6. To change the date, press the UP or DOWN arrow keys.
7. Press the RIGHT arrow key to set up for next parameter.
8. To change the hour press the UP or DOWN arrow keys.
9. Press the RIGHT arrow key to set up for next parameter.
10.To change the minute press the UP or DOWN arrow keys.
11.Press the RIGHT arrow key to set up for the next parame-
ter.
12.To change manual temperature compensation (MTC), press
the UP or DOWN arrow keys.
pH TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION
pH Temperature Compensation ensures proper pH values by
correcting temperature variances. Compensation is accomplished manually by making adjustments in the compensation
mode or automatically by using the temperature sensing probe
in tandem with the pH electrode.
Temperature Compensation Mode:
1. Automatic temperature compensation (ATC): Plug the
temperature probe into the top jack marked temperature.
ATC will appear at bottom of the display. Immerse probe in
test solution.
2. Manual temperature compensation (MTC): Manually enter
the temperature of the test solution between 0 and 100°C.
(An ATC probe will override manual compensation.) The
preset temperature of pH Meter is 25°C. (See setup
procedure to set MTC).
13.Press the RIGHT arrow key to set up for the next parameter.
14.To change the interval time, press the UP or DOWN arrow
keys. This is the time between measurements in the
continuously recording mode.
15.To finish the settings and return to measuring mode, press
ENTER.
