1. General

Before you

begin using the meter, please read the instruction carefully to be sure
you get the best possible performance to avoid wrong operation, ensuring
accurate measuring and extend the working life of the meter.
Model INE-PHB-4 PH meter is a portable pH meter with 31/2 LCD
display, displaying temperature and pH value simultaneously,
distinguishing buffer solution automatically. It is suitable for
measuring the pH value and potential(mV) in the laboratories and
inspection offices. The compact size and portable design of the meter make
it specially suitable for being used in the remote site without power source.

4. Operation

The meter works on two pieces of 5V battery. Open the battery cover on the
backboard of the meter and insert the battery.
Please calibrate before measuring pH value. No need to calibrate in each
operation. In general, calibration is needed once a day when the measuring
interval is comparatively short.

The meter has two points calibration. The procedure is as following:

4.1 Press “ON/OFF” button to switch on the battery supply. the meter enter

“mV” measuring state;

4.2 Press “MODE” button to enter temperature measuring state, the “℃ ”

indicating light flashes. The model circuit is as following:
mV measurement (displaying MEAS and mV)
temperature setting (the “℃” light is flashing)
pH calibration 1(displaying STD1)
pH calibration 2(displaying STD2)
pH measuring (displaying MEAS and pH)

4.3 Press “▲” or “▼” button to adjust temperature value when the displayed

temperature value is the same as the temperature value of calibrated
solution, press “ENTER” button to store it into the meter. The “℃ ”
indicating light stops flashing at this time.

4.4 Press “MODE” button, the meter display “STD1” to enter the first

calibration point (if you don’t need calibration, press “MODE” two times,
the meter display “MEAS” enter PH measurement directly);
