 How to check for instrument defect

Short the metal part of the outer tube to the center pin of the electrode 
connector of the corresponding channel of the instrument. If  Ur  or  Or  
appears in this condition, consult your dealer.

Repeatability of the measured value is poor.

Nothing appears when the power is turned ON

Swelling of keypad

Part of the display is missing

Cause

How to solve problem

Effect of the sample solution.

Repeatability becomes poor when the pH of the sample 
changes over time.

The electrode is dirty.

Clean the electrode. 

The electrode is broken.

Replace the electrode.

The internal solution of the 
electrode is partially depleted or 
contaminated.

Replace the electrode.

Cause

How to solve problem

Power is not supplied.

Insert batteries.

Battery polarity (+,  ) is reversed.

Insert the batteries with the polarity (+,  ) correctly 
oriented.

Battery life is low.

Replace the batteries.

Instrument defect.

Consult your dealer.

Cause

How to solve problem

Using the instrument at high 
elevation or other location where 
the air pressure is different from 
sea level.

To eliminate the pressure difference between the inside 
and outside of the instrument, briefly open and then close 
the serial connector and battery cover. After opening, 
correctly close the cover to maintain dust and water 
proofing.

Instrument defect

Consult your dealer.

Cause

How to solve problem

Instrument defect.

Check the display by switching ON the instrument when all 

the LCD segments are lit.
