Short instructions

The following short instructions are intended as a guide to users
who are fully familiar with safety precautions and operating
instructions described in this manual. The instructions assumes
that the instrument is installed according to the installation
instructions.

Calibrating

Please wait...

1

Switch on the instrument

by means of the mains

switch on the rear panel.

2 The 

main operating menu

(RUN-menu) is shown.

3

Calibrate 

the pH electrode before use and/or daily

by using 2 buffers with known pH values.

4 The 

conductivity flow cell

does not normally need

to be calibrated.

5 Set the 

conductivity scaling

for 0 and 100%.

6 Always store the 

pH electrode

in 1:1 mixture of

pH 4 buffer and 1 M KNO

3

when not in use.
