Order of Operations
1.Calibrate the instrument as described later in this manual.
2.Determine the test type (pH or ORP) and carefully follow the directions for the desired test.
3.Configure the meter to display in the desired units of measure for temperature (oC or oF). This is included as a step in the pH measurement instructions.
4.Pay close attention to detail, step by step instructions, and electrode cleaning/rinsing recommendations. Slight deviations in test procedures and test habits can have a significant effect on test results.
