 Automatic Timing Data Storage 

In parameter setting P4.1, set up the time for timing measurements (e.g.  

3 minutes). 

 will be displayed, meaning the meter is ready to enter 

the auto timing storage mode. Short press 

, the 

icon will start flashing,  

and the 1

st

 group of data will be stored. 3 minutes later, the 2

nd

 one will be  

stored. Figure-5 shows that 8 groups of data have been automatically  

stored. Short press 

 again, the 

icon will stop flashing. The meter  

stops the auto timing storage. When in auto timing storage, manual storage 

is disabled. In parameter setting P4.1, set the time to 0 to exit auto timing storage. 

 

3.5.3

 Recall the Stored Data 

In measurement mode, long press 

 , the meter will recall the measured 

value that was lastly saved, as shown in figure-6, displaying RM icon and the  

numbering. Press 

 or 

 to recall other stored data. Long press 

 or 

  to change numberings swiftly. 

 

3.5.4

 Clear Stored Data 

In parameter P4.5, select Yes to clear all the stored data. For details, please refer to section 7.5 

pH MEASUREMENT 

 

Information regarding the pH Electrode 

The instrument is equipped with a 201T-S 3-in-1 Combination pH Electrode. Its built-in temperature sensor allows 
for  auto  temperature  compensation.  The  electrode’s  housing  adopts  PC  plastics,  which  is  shock-resistant  and 
corrosion-resistant. When the pH electrode is dipped into the test sample solution, stir it for a few seconds to remove 
potential air bubbles inside the probe to help the measurement get stabilized quickly. 

When connecting the electrode into the instrument, please slowly rotate  the connector, identify the location of the 
mount to insert it, and then screw it on. Please note that do not pull on the cables in case of poor contact. 

Please keep the connector clean and dry. For detailed maintenance of the electrodes, please refer to section 4.5  

 

Information regarding pH Calibration 

4.2.1

 Standard Buffer Solutions 

The instrument adopts two series of standard buffer solutions: USA and NIST as shown in Table-2. Users can select 

which one to use in P1.1 (refer to section 7.3).
