P4.0: Unit configuration

P4.1: READY indicator and auto endpoint function

Program P4.1 lets you select “READY indicator on” to indicate when the reading is 
stable*, or select “READY indicator off” for faster meter response. 

AP72 meter only: Program P4.1 also lets you switch the Auto endpoint function on 
or off. Select auto endpoint on to “hold” the reading when it is stable for more than 
5 seconds. The display automatically freezes, and the HOLD indicator appears on
the left side of the display. Press the HOLD key to release the display and access
other functions. Select auto endpoint off to deactivate this feature.

P4.2: Selecting number of pH calibration points

Program P4.2 lets you select the number of calibration points that appear in pH 
calibration mode: 2, 3, 4, or 5. This lets the meter scroll through the calibration points
more quickly if you regularly calibrate at less than 5 points.

*The READY indicator appears and the reading holds until the measured value exceeds the tolerance

(± 0.02 pH; ± 0.8 mV <400; ±1.2 mV >400). Then, the READY annunciator turns off.
