Data Memory

25 readings can be stored to and recalled from the internal memory.

Storing readings

1. With the reading on the display, momentarily press the STORE/RECALL button. The

STORE and HOLD display icons will appear on the LCD and the reading will freeze.

2. Momentarily press the STORE/RECALL button again to confirm and return to the

normal operation mode.

3. Up to 25 readings can be stored in this fashion.

Recalling Readings

1. Press and hold the STORE/RECALL button. The RECALL icon and the memory

location number will appear followed by the data in the displayed memory location. .

2. Press the ▼or ▲button to scroll through the memory locations and to view the stored

data.

3. Momentarily press the STORE/RECALL button to exit the Recall Readings mode.

End will appear in the display and then the meter will return to the normal

measurement mode.

Clearing the memory

With the meter on, press and hold the ▼and ▲buttons for 2 seconds. CLr will appear on

the display indicating that the memory has been erased.

Temperature Units

Press the UNIT button to switch between a ºF or ºC display.

Manual Temperature Compensation

In the pH mode, the solution temperature can be set by using the optional external

temperature probe or by adjusting the temperature display when the probe is not used.

Press the ▲▼buttons to set the temperature when MTC icon is displayed. The

Conductivity probe has a built-in temperature sensor so manual temperature

compensation does not apply for those measurements.

Auto Power off (APO)

The meter is equipped with an Automatic Power Off feature. The meter will turn off 10-

minutes after the last button-press. This feature can be disabled by pressing and holding

the POWER button for 2 seconds (the APO display icon indicates that this feature is

enabled). Next time the meter is powered up, Auto Power off will be engaged again.

Reset to Default settings

The meter can be reset to its factory default configuration by following these steps.

1. With the meter OFF, press and hold the POWER and STORE/RECALL buttons

simultaneously until dFLt rSt appears in the display.

2. Release the buttons and the meter will continue with a normal startup.

3. Default values include: Calibration values, Conductivity mode, ºC, MTC, APO and

RENEW off.

pH Calibration (1, 2, or 3 points)

A two point calibration with a buffer of 7 plus 4 or 10 (whichever is nearest to the expected

sample value) is always recommended. A one point calibration (choose the value closest

to the expected sample value) or a three point calibration is also valid. For best accuracy,

always calibrate at the sample temperature. Frequency of calibration is dependent on how

often the meter is used, care of the electrode and strength of the samples tested. Typically,

it is recommended that calibration be performed once a day or before each use if the meter

is not used on a daily basis.

1. Connect the pH probe and place it into a pH7 buffer.

2. Press the POWER button to turn the meter on and press the MODE/CAL button until

the PH icon appears. (Note: disable the Auto Power Off feature to avoid an automatic

power off during calibration)

3. If MTC icon appears next to the temperature display, press the ▼or ▲buttons to set

the temperature of the pH buffer. If the optional temperature probe is used, insert the

probe into the buffer solution.

4. Press and HOLD the MODE/CAL button until the display begins to flash 7.00. The

meter automatically recognizes the buffer and calibrates itself to that value. At the end

of the calibration cycle, SA and End will briefly appear on the display and then the

meter returns to the normal operating mode

5. When a calibration is performed, the calibration icons (pH10) (pH7) (pH4) will

be cleared (calibration data is not erased) and will be replaced when a successful

calibration is performed for each buffer within one power on cycle. These icons

indicate what calibration levels were last performed. They do not indicate how

recently the calibration was performed or if the calibrations are still valid.

6. Remove the electrode from the pH7 buffer, rinse in a rinse solution and insert it into

the pH4 or pH10 buffer solution.

7. Repeat step 4 for the second calibration point and then the third point if desired.

Note: If the output of the electrode falls outside predetermined limits, the meter will

cancel the calibration, indicate End and the RENEW icon will flash. This typically

happens when the electrode has aged and needs replacement.

Note: To avoid cross contamination, always rinse the electrode in a rinse solution

when changing from one buffer or sample to the next buffer or sample.

Conductivity (TDS & Salt) Calibration

Conductivity accuracy verification should be performed on a periodic basis. Once per

month is the recommended cycle for normal use. If calibration is required, a conductivity

standardizing solution must be obtained. The meter can be calibrated in any or all of the

three ranges. Standardizing solutions of 84µS/cm, 1413µS/cm or 12.88mS/cm

(12,880µS/cm) are used for the automatic calibration recognition procedure. No other

calibration values are permitted.

Calibration is always done in conductivity mode. Since salinity and TDS values are

calculated from conductivity values, this procedure also calibrates the Salinity and TDS

ranges.

1. Fill a sample cup with the standardizing solution.

2. Turn the meter ON and insert the electrode into the solution. Tap or move the

electrode in the sample to dislodge any air bubbles.

3. Press and hold the MODE/CAL button (approximately 2 seconds) until the main

display starts flashing.

4. The meter will automatically recognize and calibrate to the standardizing solution. At

the end of the calibration, the display will briefly indicate “SA”, “End” and then return

to the measurement mode.

Note: The “SA” will not appear if the calibration fails.

5. The “range calibrated” symbol will appear in the display for each range that is

calibrated during that power on cycle.

Low range, 84µS/cm

Medium range, 1413µS/cm

High range, 12.88mS/cm (12,880µS/cm)

Note: The meter allows for a 1, 2 or 3 point calibration. If calibration is done for more than

one point, the lowest value standard should be done first to obtain the best accuracy.

ORP Calibration

The ORP electrode does not require calibration.

Temperature (pH and Conductivity) Offset Calibration

This procedure allows for error correction of the external temperature probe (pH) or the

conductivity probe’s built-in temperature sensor.

1. Switch to pH or Conductivity (Salt/TDS) mode.

2. Place the temperature probe or conductivity cell in the sample and allow the

temperature reading to stabilize.

3. Press and hold the UNIT/SET button until the ºC or ºF icon begins flashing.

4. Adjust the ▼or ▲buttons to set the display to indicate the known temperature of the

sample.

5. Momentarily press the UNIT/SET button to save the change and return to the

measurement mode.

Samples have low ionic strength

(lacks salt); e.g. distilled, de-

ionized, boiled, lake water (high

pressure)

For each 50 ml of sample add 1 drop

(50uL) of SAT.KCL No alteration in

pH will occur by inert KCL.

Notes on pH measurements and electrodes

1. The Electrode should be stored in its wetting cap until used. Use a pH 4 buffer solution

or tap water as the storage medium.

2. If bubbles are seen in the bulb area, hold the electrode by its cap and shake

downwards until bubbles are removed.

3. To improve speed of response, vigorously stir the electrode in the sample, buffer, or

rinse solution.

4. After exposure to a sample, buffer, or rinse solution, shake the electrode with a snap

motion to remove residual drops of solution.

5. When possible, use part of the next sample/buffer to be measured as a rinse solution,.

6. Keep buffers and samples at the same temperature to avoid temperature effects.

7. pH readings stabilize faster in some solutions than others; allow time to stabilize.

8. Electrodes deteriorate over time. If accuracy falls to 10% the electrode should be

cleaned. If no improvement is observed, replace the electrode.

Notes on the Conductivity/TDS/Salt Cell

1. Cell Storage: On sheathed cells, replace the sheath over the cell when storing. For

non-sheathed versions, soak the cell tip in de-ionized water for storage.

2. Cell Cleaning: After each use, the cell tip should be rinsed with de-ionized water. If

solids build up inside the cell carefully remove with a cotton swab soaked in solvent

taking care not to touch the metal parts of the inner cell.
