equipment to the Producer for disposal at no charge to the user.
Note: For return for recycling, please contact the equipment producer or supplier for instructions on
how to return end-of-life equipment, producer-supplied electrical accessories, and all auxiliary items
for proper disposal.

• Two 90-ml bottles for sample and sensor
cleaning.
Fig. 1. Equipment composition
After removing the instrument, check each part for possible damage. All components on the attached list
must be present. If there are any missing or damaged parts, contact the manufacturer or distributor.
Note: the instrument must be calibrated before reading
the first pH value.
1. Press
2. Remove the sensor protector.
3. Clean the sensor with deionized water.
4. Stir the sensor uniformly in the sample, holding it by
the top.
5.1.1. Stability measuring
Follow the diagram.
The reading is not stabilized on the screen until the
electrode signal varies less than 0.01 pH (0.5 mV) for
6 sec.
Once the reading has stabilized, the screen lights up
for 2 sec.
5.1.2. Continuous measuring
Once stability measuring has begun, press the
twice
The instrument displays the measured value directly on
screen at all times.
The continuous reading should always be started after
beginning a stability reading (see diagram).
To end a continuous reading, press
The display will light up for 2 sec.

5.2. Changing temperature units

express the values in °C.
Important note: Before turning on the instrument, check that the sensor is connected
The instrument must be calibrated before taking the first pH reading.
The calibration can be performed of 1, 2 or 3 points.
5.3.1. Preparation
1. Fill the tubes with the buffer solutions (note the fill level).
2. Unscrew the protector containing the electrolyte and wash the sensor with deionized water.
3. Screw the sensor on to the tube containing the first buffer.

Fig. 6. Preparation
5.3.2. One-point calibration
Stir gently holding the sensor by the handle. Do not hold it by the tube to avoid
heating of the buffer solution.
Follow the diagram on the next page.
One-point calibration is acceptable when pH values around that of the buffer
used are being measured.
One-point calibration only corrects the asymmetry potential of the electrode.
Notes: If the measuring instrument is not used for 5 minutes, it shuts off
automatically.
If errors occur during calibration, an error message will appear on screen
(see pg. 19).
The equipment will repeat the process described for the first
buffer solution with the second and third.
Stir gently holding the sensor by the handle. Do not hold it by
the tube to avoid heating of the buffer solution.
Notes: if the measuring instrument is not used for 5 minutes, it
shuts off automatically.
If errors occur during calibration, an error message will appear
on screen (see pg. 19).
When you switch buffers, rinse the sensor with deionized water.
The buffer solutions in the calibration tubes can be used for
approximately four or five calibrations. It is recommended to
use fresh buffers.
Important note: Before turning on the instrument, check that the sensor
is connected.

Redox electrodes do not have a significant drift of the potential, which is
t
why they are not typically not calibrated. However, some deviations of
potential may occur after continued use of the electrode as a result changes to of the metal surface or contamination of the reference electrode.
5.4.1. Preparation
1. Fill the tube with the 200 mV standard solution (note the fill level).
2. Unscrew the protector containing the electrolyte and rinse the sensor
with deionized water.
3. Screw the sensor on to the tube containing the standard.

During redox calibration, the temperature of the standard must be manually entered (by pressing
The instrument can correct the deviation of a temperature
probe (built into pH electrodes) at 25 °C and 85 °C (77 °F
and 185 °F).
This allows the instrument to be used as a precision thermometer.
Follow the diagram.
Important note: Before turning on the instrument, check that
the sensor is connected.
Manual readjustment of pH (or mV) measured at any value within the range.
When readjusting pH, the instrument behaves as though it were
calibrated with a single buffer solution.
5.6.1. Preparation
1. Unscrew the protector containing the appropriate electrolyte.
2. Rinse the sensor with deionized water.
3. Dip the sensor into the solution in which manual calibra-
tion is to be performed.
Note: Before beginning manual calibration, you must take a
measurement in the standard to be used in the calibration
5.6.2. Calibration

6.1. Cleaning the measuring instrument and accessories
Important note: Never use cleaning products such as turpentine, acetone or similar products to clean the
instrument, including the screen and accessories.
Only clean the carrying case and accessories with a soft damp cloth.
A mild soap solution can also be used. Dry the clean parts carefully with a soft cotton cloth.
6.2. Storing the instrument
When preparing to store the instrument for long periods of time, remove the batteries to prevent leakage
and subsequent damage to the measuring instrument.
6.3. Changing batteries
WARNING
Risk of fire or explosion. Use only AA alkaline batteries for the measuring instrument and ensure that
the batteries are correctly inserted in their compartment. Inserting batteries incorrectly can damage
the measuring instrument and cause fires or explosions
The batteries supplied have a useful life of approximately 500 hours.
1. Press
2. Disconnect the sensor.
3. Open the lid of the battery compartment (Fig. 2, pg. 6).
4. Remove the old batteries.
5. Insert the new batteries (1.5V AA). Note the polarity markings inside the battery compartment.
Important note: never use different types of batteries together.
