AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION (ATC)
The meter is recommended to use PHE-860 three in one epoxycombination probe with a temperature sensor probe for the automatic
temperature compensation (ATC), the meter is capable of taking
measurements with automatic or manual temperature compensation.
Ensure the PHE-860 probe is plugged into the meter for ATC,otherwise use a standard additional temperature probe, the probe must be submersed inthe liquid you are measuring.
If there is no temperature sensor plugged into the meter, the defaultmanual temperature setting is automatically 25 degree C set the temperature to match your working conditions using aseparate thermometer and record the working condition (temperatureof the liquid) to convert the
