properly. 

3.Check whether the electrode is damaged. 

 

Press          key  when  measuring  value 
is not stable during calibration. 

 

Press          key

 

when          icon appears. 

 

During calibration, the measuring value 
is not stable for ≥3min. 

1.Check whether there are bubbles in glass bulb. 
2.Replace with a new pH electrode. 

 

pH  electrode  zero  electric  potential 
out of range

<-60mV or >60mV

 

1.Check whether there are bubbles in glass bulb.   
2.Check whether pH buffer solution is correct. 
3.Replace with new pH electrode. 

 

pH electrode slope out of range 

<85% or >110%

 

 

Enter in pre-set due calibration to 
remind calibration 

Press          key to perform calibration or cancel due 
calibration setup from parameter P1.2. 

 
5) pH temperature principle 
Please note that the closer the temperature of the sample solution is to that of the calibration solution, 

the more accurate the readings will be. 

 

6) Factory default setting 
For factory default setting, please refer to parameter P1.6 (Item 8.3). Per parameter P1.6, all calibration 
data is deleted and the meter restores to the theory value (zero electric potential of pH is 7.00, the slope 
is  100%).  Some  functions  restore  to  the  original  value  (refer  to  Appendix-I).  When  calibration  or 
measurement fails, please restore the meter to factory default setting and then perform re-calibration or 
measurement. Please note once set the factory default, all the data deleted will not be retrievable.   
 

mV measurement 

 

5.1  ORP measurement 

Press          key, and switch the meter to mV measurement mode. Connect ORP electrode (need purchase 

it separately) and dip it in sample solution, stir the solution briefly and allow it to stay in the solution until         

icon appears and get the reading which is ORP value. 

ORP means Oxidation Reduction Potential. The unit is mV. 

 

5.2  Notes of ORP measurement 

1) ORP measurement does not require calibration. When the user is not sure about ORP electrode quality 

or  measuring  value,  use  ORP  standard  solution  to  test  mV  value  and  see  whether  ORP  electrode  or 

meter works properly. 

 

 

2) Clean and activate ORP electrode 

After the electrode has been used over a long period of time, the platinum surface will get polluted which 

causes inaccurate measurement and slow response. Please refer to the following methods to clean and 

activate ORP electrode:
