4 Operation

4.1 On / off

Press the HOLD key for 2 seconds or longer. The instrument will enter measurement mode.

To switch off the meter, press the HOLD key again for 2 seconds. The instrument will turn off

automatically when no key has been pressed for 10 minutes.

4.2 Set date and time

1. Press the "CAL" key for 10 seconds to start

date and time setting mode

2. Press the "HOLD" key to select the date or time

value

3. Press the "STORE" or "SCROLL" key to

increase or decrease value

4. Press the "CAL" key for 2 seconds

Exit and return to measuring mode

4.3 Select buffer solutions

1. Press "SCROLL" key for 5 seconds to start

buffer selection mode

2. Press "SCROLL" key again to select the buffer

solution set:

7.00 for (7.00/4.01/10.01) or

6.86 for (6.86/4.00/9.18)

3. Press "STORE" for 2 seconds

Exit and return to measuring mode

4.4 pH value calibration

1. Press the "CAL" key for 2...3 seconds to start

calibration mode

2. Immerse the electrode in the 7.00 or 6.86 buffer

solution. "WAIT" is displayed.

3. When the "WAIT" indicator disappears, the

calibration for this value is finished.

4. Press "CAL" to complete the 1-point calibration

5. repeat steps 2 and 3 with pH 4.01/4.00 or

10.01/9.18 for 2-point calibration

6. Press "CAL" to complete the 2-point calibration or

7. repeat step 5 for 3-point calibration

8. Automatic return to measuring mode

Note: Cleanthe electrode with distilled water before eachchange of calibration solution. For

accurate measurement results, it is recommended to perform pH calibration weekly and after

each change of electrode.

4.5 Measurement

In measuring mode, immerse the instrument in the liquid to be tested.

Ensure that the electrode is immersed to a maximum of 2 mm below the electrode holder and that

there are no solids in the water. These could influence the measurement result.

4.6 HOLD mode

1. When the pH reading is stable, press the "HOLD" key to

hold it in the display

2. Press "HOLD" key to continue measurement

Note: In HOLD mode, the meter cannot be turned off.

4.7 Saving readings

1. Press the "STORE" key for 2...3 seconds in HOLD mode

or measuring mode

2. "DATA SAVE" and "Mxx" indication on the display when

data are stored in memory space Mxx

3. The instrument automatically returns to measuring mode.

Note: The instrument can store up to 50 measurements. When all memory spaces are occupied,

the first memory space is overwritten first, then the following ones.

4.8 Viewing and deleting data

mode to call up the last saved measurement

2. Press the "SCROLL" key again to display the previously

saved measurement

3. Press "STORE" for 2 seconds

Exit and return to measuring mode or

4. Press "CAL" key for 2...3 seconds

Clear memory completely and return to measuring mode

5 Electrode replacement

1. Unscrew electrode holder from the instrument

2. Remove old electrode from holder

9 Disposal

For the disposal of batteries in the EU, the 2006/66/EC directive of the European Parliament

applies. Due to the contained pollutants, batteries must not be disposed of as household waste.

They must be given to collection points designed for that purpose.

In order to comply with the EU directive 2012/19/EU we take our devices back. We either re-use

them or give them to a recycling company which disposes of the devices in line with law.

For countries outside the EU, batteries and devices should be disposed of in accordance with

your local waste regulations.

If you have any questions, please contact PCE Instruments.
