Using the External Power Supply

Using the External Power Supply

The  Micro-USB  interface  can  be  used  for  external  power  supply.  It  is  not  possible  to
charge the batteries. The instrument is not supplied with an external 5V USB battery.
Alternatively,  the  instrument  can  be  supplied  by  an  external  power  supply  unit  (not
included in the scope of delivery) via the Micro-USB socket. Use an external battery that
is suitable for 5V USB battery. For connection, a suitable USB cable with a Micro-USB
plug is required. The power saving mode is canceled only when using external power.

*Power saving mode: When the power supply is only the battery, the screen brightness         

 will automatically shift to 1 if there is no button operation for more

                                  than 1 minute. Return to the set screen brightness by key operation.

While  the  instrument  is  powered  by  the  external  power  supply,  the  batteries  are  not
being used. The icon 

 is shown the screen.

Attention

Take care that the AC adapter does not come into contact with liquids.

Connecting sensors

To perform calibration/ measurement, it is necessary to use the appropriate sensors for
measurement parameter. Recommended sensors for various sample are listed below.
Use the following procedure to correctly connect the sensor to the instrument

Align the arrow on the sensor connector with the groove of the meter plug and insert it.
It  does  not matter  if you plug  the  connector of  any  measurement  item into  the  meter
plug.
