Operating Instructions

Function Defaults

The meter’s defaults are following: Display unit: pH Temperature unit: °C Manual ATC (without a connected ATC probe) Auto power off is ON Datalogger Sampling Time: 2 seconds

Be sure to calibrate a pH Electrode for its rst use with this meter. Please see the Calibration section of this manual for instructions.

pH Measurement (Manual Temp. Compensation)

1. Turn on the meter by pressing the Power Button.

2. Connect the Optional pH Electrode into the pH/BNC Socket.

3. Set the pH Manual Temperature Compensation value. Refer to the Advanced Settings section for instructions.

4. Hold the Electrode Handle and let the Sensing head get fully immersed the measured solution. Shake the pH Electrode to let the probe’s internal air bubble drift out from the sensing head. The top display will show the pH value and the bottom display will show the setting for the Manual Temperature Compensation value.

pH measurement (ATC)

1. Plug in the optional Temperature Probe into the Temperature Socket. Plug in the optional pH Electrode into the pH/BNC Socket.

2. Immerse both the Temperature Probe and the pH Electrode into the measured solution. Shake the pH Electrode to let the probe’s internal air bubble drift out from the sensing head. The top display will show the pH value and the bottom display will show the measured Temperature.

mV Measurement

This meter has a built in mV (millivolt) measurement function, which enables you to make ion-selective, ORP (oxidation-reduction potential), and other precise mV measurements.

1. Press the Function Button so the unit switches from “pH” to “mV”. To return to pH measurements, press the Function Button again.

2. Connect the optional ORP Electrode Plug into the pH/BNC Socket.

3. The Display will show the mV value.

Calibration

This meter has been manufactured for use with an pH Electrode that generates 0mV at pH7.00 (177.4mV at pH4). If your pH Electrode does not meet those specications, calibration procedures are necessary. Calibration also ensures accurate measurements.

Required Equipment for Calibration

1. Optional pH Electrode

2. Optional pH Buffer Solutions

Calibration Procedure

1. Connect the Optional pH Electrode into the pH/BNC Socket.

2. Turn the meter on by pressing the Power Button.

3. Adjust the Temperature Compensation Value to make it same as the temperature value of the pH buffer solution. Refer to the Advanced Settings section of this manual for instructions. For Automatic Temperature Compensation, plug in the optional ATC probe.

4. Hold the Electrode Handle and let the Sensing head get fully immersed the measured solution. Shake the pH Electrode to let the probe’s internal air bubble drift out from the sensing head. The top display will show the pH value. If using the ATC probe, both probes into the solution together.

5. Press and hold the REC Button and the HOLD Buttons until the screen displays “PH” on the main screen, and “CAL” on the lower part of the screen.

6. Press the Up and Down Buttons to select either “4.00” for pH 4.00 Calibration, “7.00” for pH 7.00 Calibration, “10.00” for pH 10.00 Calibration, or “CLr” to clear the existing calibration data. Select the screen that matches your pH Buffer Solution. Press the Enter Button to make your selection.

7. Two calibration points should be completed for the highest accuracy. Calibration procedures should start from pH7 calibration then with either pH4 or pH10 calibration. Rinse the electrode with distilled water between each calibration. The Calibration should be completed at least twice, for the highest accuracy.

Data Hold

While taking a measurement, press the Hold Button once and the measured value will hold on the screen, and a HOLD symbol will appear. Press the Hold Button once again will release the data hold function.

Backlight ON/OFF

After powering the meter ON, the LCD Backlight will turn on automatically. While taking measurements, press the Backlight Button and the LCD Backlight will turn off. Press the Backlight Button once again to turn the LCD Backlight back ON.

Datalogger

Preparation Before Executing the Datalogger Function:

1. Insert the optional SD card into the SD card socket.

2. Before you use an SD card with this meter for the rst time, it is recommend to format the SD card. See Advanced Settings section of this manual for instructions.

3. If this is the rst time the meter is used you need to adjust the clock. See Advanced Settings section of this manual for instructions.

4. Now you need to set the decimal format. The numerical data structure downloaded to the SD card is defaulted used the “ . “ as the decimal, for example “20.6” “1000.53” . But in certain countries the “ , “ is used as the decimal point, for example “ 20, 6 “ “1000,53”. See Advanced Settings section of this manual for instructions on how to change the Decimal Character.

Auto Datalogger (Set sampling time ≥1 second)

1. Start Datalogging; press the REC Button, and the “REC” symbol will appear on the LCD screen, then press the Logger Button, the “REC” symbol will ash while the measuring data and time information is being saved in memory. To set the sampling time, and to toggle the beeper sound on or off, refer to the Advanced Settings section of this manual.

2. Pause the Datalogging; while Datalogging, if press the Logger Button once. While paused, the “REC” symbol will stop ashing. Press the Logger Button again to resume Datalogging, and the “REC” symbol will begin to ash again.

3. Stop Datalogging; while the Datalogger function is paused, press the REC Button for 2 seconds. The “REC” symbol will disappear indicating the Datalogging function has stopped.

Manual Datalogger (Set sampling time = 0 seconds)

1. Set sampling time is to 0 second; Press the REC Button, and the “REC” symbol will appear on the LCD screen. Press the Logger Button, and the “REC” symbol will ash once and one Beep will sound, at the same time the measuring data along the time information will be saved in memory. The lower Display will show the Position (record) number, which is saved as well.

2. To Change the Position Number; press the Down Button and the lower position number will ash on the display. Press the Up or Down Buttons to set the Position Number (1 to 99) to help identify the measurement location. The lower Display will show P x (x = 1 to 99). After the position number is selected, press the Enter Button to conrm.

3. Stop Datalogging; press the REC Button for 2 seconds, and the “REC” symbol will disappear indicating the Datalogging function has stopped.

Checking the Time

During normal functions (not Datalogging), press the Time Check Button and the lower LCD display will show the Year, Month/Date, Hour/Minute.

SD Card Data Structure

1. The rst time the SD card is used in the meter, the SD card will generate a folder: PHA01

2. The rst time you use the Datalogger, in the folder PHA01, a new le name PHA01001.XLS will be created. The Datalogger will use this le until the Data has reached to 30,000 rows. The meter will then will generate a new le with a subsequent number, for example PHA01002.XLS.

3. The folder PHA01can hold 99 .XLS les. When that number has been reached, the meter will then will generate a new folder with a subsequent number, for example PHA02. Max number of PHA-folders is 10.

Data Transfer from SD card to Computer (EXCEL Software)

1. After Datalogging, remove the SD card from the SD card slot.

2. Plug in the SD card into the Computer’s SD card slot or insert the SD card into the optional SD card adapter and connect to your Computer. Turn your computer on and a folder will appear on your desktop representing you SD card.

3. Open “Microsoft EXCEL”. Download the EXCEL les from the SD Card to the computer by opening up the SD folder and selecting the desired EXCEL les, and drag-and-drop them onto your Computer. Open the les with EXCEL (File – Open).

4. The EXCEL le will have the following column headers in this order: Place (Position Number), Date (Year/Month/Day), Time (in 24h clock), Value, and Unit.
