• Turn the meter on by pressing the ON/OFF button.

• Immerse the probe in the sample to be measured, without exceeding the maximum immersion level.

• Stir gently and wait for stable reading. The meter automatically compensates for temperature variations.

• To extend the batteries life, after 5 minutes of non-use the meter provides for auto-off.

CALIBRATION

• Switch the meter on.

• Press and hold the ON/OFF button for about 3 seconds. The required calibration solution value will start blinking on the display to indicate that the calibration mode has been entered.

“1382” for Primo, Primo 1, Primo2, Primo3 “5.00” for Primo 4, and “1413” for Primo 5

• Immerse the probe in the proper calibration solution without exceeding the maximum immersion level.

• Stir gently and wait for about 20 seconds.

• Once the display stops blinking, the meter is calibrated and ready for use.

BATTERIES REPLACEMENT

The "Eb" message on the LCD warns the user when the batteries have to be replaced.

Open the bettery compartment and replace the both 1.5 V batteries, while paying attention to the correct polarity.

Batteries should be replaced only in a non hazardous area using the battery type specified in this instruction sheet.

Important note: Once the batteries have been replaced, turn

the meter OFF and then ON again. Wait for about 30 seconds to allow a complete self-test, and then perform a new calibration.

Error in calibration, wrong calibration solution or damaged probe.

Over range.

Low battery indication.
