4. pH CALIBRATING PROCEDURE
4-1 Calibrating Consideration
The pH meter already calibrated by mV signal that simulated from the ideal pH ELECTRODE mV output ( base on 25 environment ). However due to (a) An ideal electrode will produce 0 mV at pH 7.00, but most electrodes are slightly off. (b) The measuring environment temperature may not near 25 ( 15 to 35 ). ℃℃ If intend to keep instrument combined electrode within high accuracy, it is necessary to make the following calibration procedures ( 4-3 ).
4-2 Requiring Equipment for Calibration
1)Combination soil pH electrode ( PE-06HD, included ).
2)Buffer solutions :
pH 7.00 buffer solution ( PH-07A, included ). pH 4.00 buffer solution ( PH-04A, included ).
4-3 Calibration procedures
pH 7 calibration
1)Connect the pH electrode plug ( 3-10, Fig. 1 ) to the BNC
socket ( 3-5, Fig. 1 ) and place electrode into pH 7.00 buffer solution ( PH-07A ).
2)Power on the instrument by pressing the " Power button "
( 3-2, Fig. 1 ).
3)Press the " Hold button " ( 3-3, Fig. 1 ) once.
the display will show the " HOLD " symbol. Press the " button " ( 3-3, Fig. 1 ) once, the display will show following screen in sequence.

pH 4 calibration
1)Rinse the electrode in distilled water.
Place electrode into buffer pH 4.00 solution.
2)All the calibration procedures are same as the
above pH calibration, except : a. Change the buffer solution to pH 4.00 ( PH-04A ). b. The calibration screen value will change to 7.00 instead of 4.00
Remark :
* Except calibrate pH 7, pH 4, meter also can calibrate
pH 10.
* The calibration procedures should start from the pH 7 at
first, then pH 4 ( or pH 10 ).
* During the calibration, the circuit will sensing solution
value automatically. If the buffer solution value already beyond 7± 1 pH. 4± 1 pH, 10± 1 pH, the LCD will show " Err ".
* When the LCD show the screen 2, it allow the user to
adjust another calibration value precisely ( for example
7.01, 6.99... ) by pressing the " button " ( 3-2, Fig. 1 ) , " button " ( 3-4, Fig. 1 )'
* Rinse the electrode in distilled water before change
the buffer solution.
* Repeat above pH, pH calibration procedures two
times at least.
* After calibration, the " Electrode sensing head "
( 3-9, Fig. 1 ) should insert into the " Protection bottle " ( 3-11, Fig. 1 ).
*
PE-06HD, PH-07A, PH-04A is the consumer accessory.

5. MEASURING PROCEDURE
After the meter along the pH electrode is calibrated ( section 4-3 ) , the unit is ready for measuring.
1)Connect the pH electrode plug ( 3-10, Fig. 1 ) to the BNC
socket ( 3-5, Fig. 1 ) and place electrode into the measured solution.
2)Power on the meter by pressing the " Power button "
( 3-2, Fig. 1 ).
3)Place the electrode into the measured soil or other
type penetration material ( such as cheese, meats... ) or solution, then the instrument will display the pH value.
* Electrode ( attached ) is the
rough and durable penetration electrode. However user should operate the electrode very carefully.
* The electrode is the consumer
accessory, after the electrode is used, if the damage of the Electrode Sensing Head ( Spear Tip Head ), it is without warranty.
* After make the measurement, please rinse the
electrode in distilled water.
* After calibration, the " Electrode sensing head "
( 3-9, Fig. 1 ) should insert into the " Protection bottle " ( 3-11, Fig. 1 ).
* PE-06HD, PH-07A, PH-04A is the consumer accessory.
Data hold
During the measurement, press the " Hold button " ( 3-3, Fig. 1 ) once will hold the measured value & the LCD will display a " HOLD " symbol.
* Press the " Hold Button " once again will release the data hold function.
8
Display reverse
During the measurement, press the " Display reverse button " ( 3-4, Fig. 1 ) once will reverse the display direction for the user convenience.
* Press the " Display reverse button " once again will
return to the normal display.
Auto power off
The meter is built the " Auto power shut off " function to save battery life. If any function buttons are not pushed within 10 minutes, the power will be off automatically.
6. REPLACEMENT OF BATTERY
1)When the LCD display show " " ,
It is necessary to replace the battery. However, in-spec measurement may still be made for several hours after Low Battery Indicator appears before the instruments instrument become inaccurate.
2)To replace the battery, rotate and remove the "
Battery Cover " ( 3-7, Fig. 1 ), take out the old batteries, install new batteries :
DC 1.5V battery ( UM-4/AAA ) x 4 PCs.
3)When install the batteries, should make attention the
battery polarity.
4)After install the batteries, reinstall the battery cover
again.
