Manual Temperature Compensation

If the use of a temperature probe is inappropriate, e.g. small sample size then manual 
temperature compensation can be used. 

1.

 Disconnect temperature probe

2.

 Press the Mode key to select °C function. Note that the °C flag will flash when no 

temperature probe is connected. 

3.

 Use the òñ keys to adjust the displayed reading to the temperature of the first buffer. 

4.

 Press the Mode key to return to pH function.

5.

 The meter may now be calibrated automatically or manually following either of the 

procedures above.

 

Refer to the recorder instructions

1. 

Connect the recorder via the red and black 4mm sockets on the back panel. (Red 

positive, Black negative)

2.

 Ensure that the recorder is set for the appropriate range, i.e.

mV Calibration and Measurement

The mV mode has two ranges. The meter will automatically select the most appropriate 
range as follows:
0 to ±400mV with resolution 0.1mV
±400mV to ±2000mV with resolution 1mV

Absolute mV
1. 

Connect the electrode(s)

2.

 Press the Mode key to select  mV function

3.

 Clear any existing data. (Press Clear for 5 seconds)

4.

 Absolute mV readings may now be made by immersing the electrodes in the 

sample and recording the  reading.

Relative mV

Follow e procedure for Absolute mV from 

1.

 to 

3.

4.

 Immerse electrode(s) in the standard or blank solution. Wait for a stable 

reading and press BUF 1. The display will automatically zero and the CAL flag will 
be displayed. 

5.

 mV values relative to the standard solution may now be taken by immersing in 

the sample and recording the reading.
