CONDITIONING

• Remove the cap.

• To activate the electrode, immerse it in HI70300 storage solution for 2 hours.

CALIBRATION

• Immerse the tester in a pH buffer solution (for example, HI 7007 pH 7.01 buffer).

• Allow the reading to stabilize and with the supplied screwdriver adjust the calibration trimmer to read "7.0" pH.

The calibration is now complete.

OPERATION

• Remove the protective cap and turn the Champ® on, by sliding the ON/OFF switch on the top of the meter.

• Immerse it into the solution to be tested without exceeding the maximum immersion level.

• Stir gently and wait for the reading to stabilize.

• After use, switch the meter off, rinse the electrode with water and store it with a few drops of storage (HI70300) or pH 7 (HI7007) solution in the protective cap. Always replace the cap after use.

NEVER USE DISTILLED OR DEIONIZED WATER FOR STORAGE PURPOSES.

• Large differences in pH readings (±1 pH) could be due to lack of calibration or dry electrode.

MAINTENANCE

The sensor should be kept moist at all times. For this purpose, always keep wet the tissue inside the protective cap.

In case of erroneous readings even after an accurate conditioning and calibration, the reference junction might be contaminated or clogged.

Pull out 2 mm (1/8'') of the cloth junction to renew the electrode reference (it is recommended to cut the cloth leaving always at least 2 mm

-1/8'' over the reference compartment) and recalibrate the meter.

The cloth junction can be pulled out approximately 20 times. After that, the electrode should be replaced.

ELECTRODE REPLACEMENT

For replacing the electrode contact your Dealer or the nearest Hanna Service Center.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

When display fades the batteries must be replaced. Slide off the battery compartment cover and replace all four 1.5V alkaline batteries while paying attention to the correct polarity.

Batteries should only be replaced in a nonhazardous area using the battery type specified in this instruction manual.
